11/30/05: "The futility of it all"

We go to work so we can be paid, so we can pay for the car that we go to work in, and the house that we sleep in because it's considered improper to sleep on the streets. We go to school so we can learn the skills needed to attain said job, so that we can provide useless shit for everyone else. At work we build cars that we wouldn't need if we didn't want to waste time trading our excess supplies for money so we could get a little something from someone else trading at a specified location. We wouldn't need to steal if money didn't exist, wouldn't need to fear if we could kill without being tried in a court of law. We waste our lives creating shit for people that created shit for you to buy. You get the point, it's a huge circle of Bureaucracy. The only reason we bother following procedures is because it's embedded in us since birth that to do otherwise labels you as 'weird' or 'radical'. What do you think of a man who lives on the street by choice, what would you do if you found a lone man in the forest hunting and providing for himself, what about a person living in an empty apartment, sleeping on the floor. Would you even consider any of this people normal? We're so caught up in doing the things society considers normal that we lose the few things that make us happy. An adult being loud and otherwise 'immature' because society thinks it's improper behavior, the smart kid who acts to mature because his peers think it's improper behavior. Who laid down the rules that stated such and such is appropriate only in such and such circumstances. Strange is exactly the opposite of normal, and people are so caught up acting normal that the fail to realize they want to be strange. What the hell is going on? Why do we allow ourselves to be subjected to all of this useless shit? Why do we feel it's our obligation to benefit society by making, or approving of the creation, of even more shit that we don't need but get anyway so we seem normal. In my opinion, fuck the Jones'

11/30/05: "Anarchy"

Anarchy seems to be rampant in this day and age. We have the riots in New Orleans, the riots in France, who's the next to get hit? Isn't it funny how the media makes the anarchic state seem so, forgive the term, evil? Obviously there's a reason that these people are reverting to an anarchic form of government, and it's probably because their government failed to protect them and their interests. Isn't it funny how anarchy spreads like wildfire, even converting a few strict supporters of democracy. We love succumbing to our animal self, where we can protect ourselves and those we love without fearing the law. A state where we can literally say whatever we want to say and the only thing we'll have to worry about is if the next guy over gets pissed about it. Yes, it spreads and spreads until the ugly face of government rears it's head and forces it's overbearing power down our throats. Ironic how it's the land of the free, but if I wrote "Go out and destroy authority" they'd track me down and throw me in a pen, likely without a trial. Isn't it lovely how democracy promises so much and delivers nothing but a cheap education and a spot in the army, so you too can go out and kill the enemies of democracy. There's a reason we love Anarchy, a reason we can't stand to be told what to do, we've been without a strong government for the last 6.5 billion years. We can't even challenge the leader of the pack, because then it's called an 'assassination attempt'. Why won't they let us remain in an anarchic state. War was created by want for power, when the first clan attacked the second clan so they could have more land and servants to do their bidding. Those not capable of protecting themself will either die off, or find a niche in the world that they can fill. Anarchy is no more synonymous with death then is democracy. What's the death toll for war compared to the death toll for murder? While I don't have the numbers in front of me I can guarantee the difference is a huge number in favor of war. So who's the enemy? The folks that go out and get their own food and supplies by refusing to obey the law, or the folks that sit on their ass smoking cuban cigars, drinking the finest wines, getting their wage from a guy that doesn't even realize why he's paying taxes?

11/20/05: "Welcome to America"

As the working class subsides like a retracting wave, and the profits of major companies multiply like rabbits, we find America in an ironic situation. Wasn't it the US who raised against the 'tyranny' and 'oppression' of communism? Yet more than three quarters of our luxury goods come from communist China. Did we fight and die so we could exploit the very thing our system is diametrically opposed too? Looks like Capitalism wasn't such a good idea. When we're no longer capable of making the poor into the rich with a little effort, what do we have? Bill Gates, the oil industry, the conglomerates of the service world. When every price is the same and competition is no longer about the customer, but about the amount of money passed from the bank account of one corporation into the bank account of another corporation to keep them from releasing something, or lowering their prices, we're left with a failed of husk the capitalist system. What happens when the executive branch controls congress, when the judicial branch is appointed by the executive, when we're left with a slew of stuck up Christians forcing their morals and faith on the entire nation, then freedom takes a backseat to 'protection'. What are they protecting us from? I didn't ask for protection, I could protect myself better than the police that take twenty minutes to arrive to a crime scene, than the security guard who swings his flash light around, than the congressman who wastes taxes with the approval of yet another increase to the 'defense' budget. What happened to the Capitalism of a hundred business' competing, the fluctuating prices guaranteeing a bargain for the consumer? What happened to the checks and balances of our representative democracy? When did we rename Fascism to Patriotism? When did we stop being American, and start being the very thing we oppose? I give it ten years until currency is revoked, and our property becomes their property.

11/20/05: "Good & Evil"

Good and evil are entirely up to interpretation. Despite being created by mankind, the good/evil spectrum is viewed by all to be the most important thing to uphold. Depending on where you are, the good/evil spectrum shifts, for example in Christian America committing suicide means you're going to hell, whereas in Muslim countries if you commit suicide while destroying your enemies you're going to heaven. Japan had kamikaze's too. Eating meat in India is considered a crime, but eating meat in America is basically the 'American way'. When an individual kills out of love it's murder, but when a nation forces an individual to kill it's heroism.

Those aside, there are some things that are viewed by all as good and evil. To kill someone is viewed as the worst evil anyone can perform, unless done for the nation as stated. To steal is also viewed as evil. I think the reason everyone holds these views is because they define evil as what they wouldn't want done to them, for example, I wouldn't want someone to kill me for no reason, so if someone kills someone for no reason, they're evil. My interpretation is that if it's justified, do it. If you're poor enough, steal. If you're mad enough, kill. Why not? In my opinion if anything is ever justified you should do it. The only thing I think is evil is doing something without meaning... But you can find a meaning behind almost anything, so do away.

To sum it all up, I believe good and evil shouldn't matter, because your view off good and evil isn't going to be the same as the next persons, so there isn't any reason to see them as any more evil than you are...
