UnReal Time

I'm sitting in a public place and they've got FNC running. Glenn Beck is on atm and being a bigger prat than usual. They had TWC on all day and then someone asked for the news. Glenn Beck is not news, but they won't change the fucking channel.

I am full of a measure of murder and rage I haven't experience recently.

Has anyone else noticed that these people are going into hardcore hype-defensive mode? That they insist on talking about everything as if they were under attack from all sides? That they _constantly_ talk about how they "feel" about one supposed threat to "their America" after another?

Why don't they ever just cite the facts? Why can't they seem to examine issues from all sides?

  1. it's funny that no matter our waxing wordy we can always devolve into an anger management system of communication, in which we always manage to rage. two things i think fuel the spiral, frustrated intellect n lack of a womans touch. there is no more obnoxious scenario than a bar on friday night devoid of chicks or good conversation' i wish both on you, bars and girls of course. peace, andrew

  2. They do not cite facts because they don't know them; ignorance is their friend.. it tapes their world together, but never actually repairs it.

    They do not try to examine the issue from all sides because if they did that means they would have to change, they would have to examine their own thought processes, their own mistakes.

    They would have to admit that they might be wrong.

    In the words of SSG, that is scary.

    Dunno if you'll look at THIS but the song reminds me of your, my, and many other's feelings about this stupidity right now. Lyrics are on the right side, click "more info."

  3. Well, dear, that's why you have a laptop. Or go the music player and headset route. With a book. Sometimes a little escapism is a Good Thing.
