Reply #10: I feel the same anger [View All]

I do. I still haven't come to grips with it. I have to find a way to live in a world that has been hijacked by wackos.

Funny thing is -- when I did well economically, and of COURSE it was because I have always worked my ass off -- the thought I held in my heart was, boy, I want all other people to enjoy comfort and security that good wages provide. I wasn't thinking about how poor people were bleeding my tax dollars -- if I was helping the poor, I was happy to do so. Only thing that ever bugged me about taxes was the fact that 50% of it goes to the fucking Pentagon.... They SAY everyone should get what they work for, but the reality is that THEY want to keep it all, and pay us poorly, let us work in unsafe conditions, and try to rob us any way they can.

But in the fires of all the anger I feel towards them, and even as I see them targetting me--a secular "elitist" -- for social reconstruction kinda like Mao's Cultural Revolution -- in spite of my ridicule of their wacko beliefs -- and it pains me to insult them, but since they are on the attack, I will be frank that I think they are religiously insane wackos -- but for all my rejection of them, in my heart of us, I cannot lose a very deep compassion for them, because they may not realize it, but it is their sons and daughters who are going to pay the highest price for their parents' embrace of authoritarianism. We will lose many of our "blue state" poor from the inner cities, but most of the army is "red state". These fucking southerners never learn! They are innately hotheaded and prone to violence, and over and over and over again, they bring misery upon themselves! And now -- they bring misery to us, and to many people in many countries.

Smirky the chimp may find that it plays to his goals to have inflamed the wacko-Americans, but he may not realize that he has ignited a powderkeg that he will not be able to control, any more than he has been able to control the chaos in Iraq....
