So I'm Selfish

I know, I know - I’ve been on a political kick lately, but I can’t really help it. I haven’t been sleeping well and there’s been nothing on TV but propaganda from the talking haircuts, trying to “motivate” me to choose a party and ally myself with their false beliefs - beliefs dictated by their bosses, whose beliefs are dictated by their bosses, who are the corporations.


Well? I apologize for being so forthright and shit. I know it isn’t funny - it isn’t funny at all - and that’s why I feel I have to bring it up.

Now, I told you my plan: I’m gonna move to Vermont and marry a guy (you know, because “shacking up” with one is so gauche). We’re going to get us one of the four or five babies Angelina Jolie and Rosie O’Donnell haven’t adopted and secede from the Union. But I realize that isn’t the same route everyone wants to take (kids can be a handful), so I just wanted to mention a sort of “plan” - an idea I’ve had for years now - which is very “high concept,” but I think it may just be time for such a radical approach.

Invest in America.

I know, I know - it’s kooky, it’s crazy. It doesn’t save us as much money as outsourcing to China and India does. It doesn’t make us as much money as turning out young people to the porn industry does - young people who might otherwise have been useful to society in meaningful ways. It doesn’t garner us the favor of third-world countries who don’t even have things like the effing printing press or toilets. I know; radical - it’s radical thinking!

Keep mobbed-up, third-world shitholes like Mexico and Cuba from sending their offcasts, prisoners, drunks, and losers into our country - madness! Fight fire with fire in the Middle East - blasphemy! Manufacture American wares in America, using American workers - insanity! Send in the National Guard to places like New Orleans, instead of saving them for countries, built on faultlines in the middle of deserts, whose pasttime is wanting to kill us - selfish!

Let the rest of the world fend for themselves!

These assholes - they really are assholes! - have convinced us that we owe them something, which has caused us to reflexively act in defense and act even more selfish than we really are, Paris Hilton aside. The End is not here for us unless we let the rest of these people, cultures, and nations pull us down with them. We do not owe them anything but a swift and solid slap across the face. This is not to say that we need to leave the gates throwing fists; we do not. I’m just saying that we should not keep exhausting our resources on people who not only refuse to change their ways to better themselves, but openly disrespect us and teach their people to hate, and even kill, us!

Why, why, why would anyone fund, train, advance, and encourage any culture, people, or nation that wants to kill them?

There are people over here who cannot afford clothes, food, shelter - and we’re buying the fricking kids in the country with whom we are at war laptops?! No child left behind? Great! Wait - in what country? Wait! Wait! You mean that we’re giving the kids who have been raised to hate, and want to kill, us the very weapons they will need to accomplish this feat?

Does that make sense? Is it me? It’s me? Maybe it’s me.

I know how radical the idea is - use our taxes, efforts, and resources to better ourselves instead of giving it all away to corporations and third-world shitholes who alternate between mob-tactics and sissy-bitch whining to extort it from us. Or else they won’t like us very much and they'll go tell everyone else not to like us either!

Well, I hate them. And I feel just fine with that.

They can go don’t like me over there -------- -- -- --- -- > a faultline, in the desert.
