It's Super Tuesday, and Fat Tuesday, and happy meteorologist day, and all kinds of other stuff. Unable to escape politics today i have to get political here. i am enraged just thinking about our current president. i cannot express just how unimpressed i am with those currently running for that same office. TV and print media is absolutely useless and outdated. But wait, i did read something interesting in a glossy weekly publication.
Osama Bin Laudin's son denounced his father's methods of attempting to bring about change. Really, that is what i read. Interesting.
Throw on top of that seeing "No Country For Old Men" this weekend. The commentary in that movie was impressive, thoughtful, and subtly carried out. i particularly grabbed on to how the older men were complaining that kids coloring their hair bright colors and failing to say 'sir and 'ma'am' were destroying our society. However, all the people doing horrible things in the movie were relatively 'normal' looking folks. They also addresses how people think things are more violent now but things have always, in fact, been this violent.
After having all this swish around in my gray matter i have come to a conclusion: rich people seem to cause the most and the biggest problems. Bush - rich. Osama - rich. Everyone running for president - rich. Catalyst for our plummeting economy - rich corporations trying to get even richer, quicker but with that plan failing (and the working class the ones who really suffer). i cannot travel a mile anymore without passing five banks.
The rich make up an incredibly tiny amount of our world's population yet people so blindly seem to follow them no matter what. Why? This is not just a western phenomena, this is a worldwide, human being phenomena. Why? Where does this come from? Please, someone explain this to me.
Happy Mardi Gras! Party up for tomorrow lent starts. That and election results come out.
