America breaking down

"Psychologists have a word which is probably used more frequently than any other word in modern psychology. It is the word maladjusted. Well, there are some things in our social system to which I am proud to be maladjusted and to which I suggest that we ought to be maladjusted. I never intend to become adjusted to the evils of segregation and discrimination. I never intend to adjust myself to the tragic inequalities of an economic system which takes necessities from the masses to give luxuries to the classes. The salvation of the world lies in the hands of the maladjusted." Martin Luther King..
...................................................................

I ran into Uncle Sam in the Library of Congress.

He was busy changing the combination of the lock on the secret, magical bookcase that has been his home since the days when America wasn't completely fucking fake.

I asked him how the ordinary people in the USA could make a difference against tyranny in these dark, unholy times.

............................

On a certain day we will put down feet and refuse to take our pills, and we will break down and cry like people ought to be doing in your mother-fucking picture-postcard streets.

We will start talking and talking about how unsafe we feel, how VERY VERY UN-SAFE!!

We will shut-down and curl up in balls and freak out and smash PROPERTY as if it wasn't the most important thing in the world when you consider the mental health of your own fucking kids!!!!

1. I confess to being "maladjusted"
Why would I want to adjust to an insane world?

2. What is "normal"? It is not normal to beating you head against a..
wall, trying to be smarter, richer and more powerful, etc.
