Common Sense is a Color
Al Gore is a tool. Al Gore is a tool! Al Gore is a tool? It can be said so many ways, I do not know how to say it. But saying it three times must make it more powerful and true. From day one any one who chastised or at the very least, merely questioned his wonderfully produced PowerPoint expose was quickly and rudely told to shut up. After all, what do stupid common serfs know, right?
But this is not a blog about Al Gore; it is about how quickly people are willing to jump on a band wagon. Be it religion, science, government, safety, trans-fat, whatever you want, it’s in there. We are to go unquestioningly into the abyss. We aren’t to pack anything except for the wings of blind faith that are strapped to our backs. I mean, surely, the people spouting off the rhetoric do not have an agenda, an ulterior motive, for that would be wrong and lawd knows that humans do not harm one another for personal gain.
The way I see it is that we should question everything. We should force their hand and make them prove whether they stacked the deck or not. The last time I checked, very few people have our best interest at heart. They want some way to control you; to manipulate you into their line of thinking. Which of course is what we all do, but most of us do not do it having an agenda in mind. I would like to think that I do it just to make people think. Or maybe I do it just to piss you off and antagonize, both do seem plausible.
We’re written off as wacko’s yet Glenn Beck has his own show(s) and let me tell you, he’s not all there. Then again, neither are Stephen Colbert or John Stewart but you have to take them for what they are: entertainment. It doesn’t matter if they are labeled as comedy or not, they are getting paid to give their OPINION; nothing more, nothing less. The one big difference is how your information is received. Do you want sarcastic mockery or crocodile tears; biting satire or diabolical diatribes, the choice is yours.
The thing is that all of these people have things to say, just like you and I do. But what these people fail to realize or just do not care about is the power of their words. We unfortunately are all lost children who need told how it is. We need to be lectured to until the speaker is blue in the face spewing hate at us until we are beat into submission and haven’t the strength to question their so obviously superior intellect.
On the other side of it, we are all at fault for doing just that: letting them take control of our thought processes. Melting us down like cheap wax candles and them reforming us into clones of what they represent. We have let corporate media divide so far that at this point, I am not sure that it can ever be repaired. The entire planet now sits on the San Andres fault and we all just pay to sit in over priced seats (with processing fees), waiting for the shit house to come crumbling down.
These are the pros and cons of being human, where nothing changes and yet at the same time it changes at the speed of light. We have to adapt on a minute by minute basis or we are screwed. I use the word “we” quite loosely for I think the numbers of people that have rational, independent thoughts dwindles on an hourly basis. Why think, we have the computer to do it for us. And it isn’t irony that I am typing this out in WORD because I use a computer and the internet to expand my mind and learn as much as I can before it is all taken away from us. When I say “taken away” I am referring about our minds not the internet(s).
And I am well aware of the fact that this is over 140 characters. Then again, I do not pander to that crowd. If I have to adapt to your generation then you have to adapt to ours as well; yes will you meet me in the middle? Or will you ever be scared of that which is grey?
