I think I'm becoming an anarchist.
Or, at least, something close to it.

Why the fuck do people care about Britney Spears? Her life is her business. End of story. Same with Paris Hilton, Nicole Richie, Lindsay Lohan, etc., etc., etc. If they want to do drugs and alcohol and screw up their lives, that's their problem and that's their business. Not mine, and NOT YOURS!!!

Now if the President lies to us to lead us into a war, that's a problem for the American people. But do we care? NO! Why? Because we're all reading about how Britney Spears is going insane!! WHAT THE FUCK IS WRONG WITH THIS PICTURE?!?!?!?!?!

This is how bad things really are. The President of the United States decides to make English the official language of the country even though he himself cannot speak it in a coherent manner. The Governor of New York is forced to resign over a matter that should remain within his family. The Mayor of New York City is a billionaire who refuses to take money out of his own pocket so it can go where it is desperately needed. The MTA, which reported a $1,000,000 surplus in 2005, has raised fares because they had to put the surplus towards a worthy cause known as...you guessed it...their pockets. The Department of Education is taking money away from the best school in the city (which is actually two schools in one) in order to provide "Fair" Student Funding.

If you're finding this out for the first time, don't be surprised. The media has done its job very well. That job: to act as a double agent, giving you the news that "matters" while holding back the news that really matters.

If you want to do something about it, there are a lot of things you can do. Not one of them will actually change anything, but if you're bored...you might as well try. You can write to your Congressman. Everybody always tells you to do that. It's a good idea. Problem is, you're not alone. There are people in Washington called lobbyists (Does anyone remember Jack Abramoff?) who write to your Congressmen and tell them the exact opposite of what you told them. The only difference is that accompanying the lobbyist's letter is a big, fat check. That check is enough incentive for your Congressmen to ignore you and do exactly the opposite of what you need done.

So you can write letters to your local newspaper/TV station/whatever. Did you not get a word of what I said about the media?! Here it is, in another form. Those same lobbyists who bribe (yes, bribe) your Congressmen pay off the media as well. So guess who else is ignoring you?

This has been going on since our nation was born. That's about 230 years. Why has nobody noticed this before? BECAUSE YOU'RE ALL READING ABOUT BRITNEY FUCKING SPEARS!!!!!!!! SO GET YOU HEADS OUT OF THE GODDAMN TABLOIDS AND START WORRYING ABOUT WHAT'S REALLY IMPORTANT!!!! Because if enough people wake up and start caring about what really matters, maybe we can do something about it.
