I tend to look at the human race from the perspective of an outsider. It helps me to maintain my sanity. People tend to fight over the most insanely stupid things, even when we should know that we are being manipulated. "The Battle of the Sexes?" Really? Don't we want the same thing...someone cool to hang out with who has sex with us regularly? That would make sense but...she's a little overweight. He'd be great but...he's too short. Etc. These are NOT our natural ideals. We are tricked into wanting someone/something that is in small supply so we are ALWAYS in a state of wanting. Wow, that would lower people's self esteem and make them want to buy things to feel adequate. Hmm...
Politics? Puh-fucking-leez. We have adults that are supposed to represent US that don't do anything but fight like children and lie like...well, politicians. I have NEVER as an adult be more embarrassed and ashamed of the discourse in this country. Not just the discourse but the lack of accountability. Some of the things that were said and done were and continue to be just plain disgusting...yet not enough people care, especially in the so called mainstream media. Why fact check when you can just regurgitate right?
The voting public? I repeat Puh-fucking-leez. They fall into the type of predictable patterns that Stevie Wonder could see while facing in the opposite direction. Also, you know that people are predictable when you can make up anything you want fact wise and they are always too lazy to check up on you. This of course also includes the people who don't want to check the facts because facts and their ideology exist in different universes. (Keep in mind, these are facts coming from people so dishonest that their profession is used as a pejorative term.)
So, what do we do? Think for ourselves. When someone tries too hard to spoon feed you information, react the same way you did as a child, cross your arms, shake your head and seal your lips. And don't stop...until you get what is right.
