I'm just so tired of the crazy |
|
I've tried to laugh it off, but it's wearing me down. Endlessly insane shit that gets taken seriously by millions of people and the MSM. Numerous shithouse rat crazy politicians that get taken seriously by millions and amplified by the MSM. People It's like living in a fun house. Everything is distorted. I think it speaks to the dissolution of anything good in our society. I find it increasingly hard to to take.

I'm tired of it too - some times I can laugh and some times I wish I could cry.
Remember that despite these millions, there are millions who won't be taken in by the crazy bull shit. Perhaps we are the minority, for now... but that will change. Hang in there, you're not alone.

5. Yes, I am having the same problem... |
|
it is pervasive and wearing. I keep waiting for someone to say something sane and it does not happen.

6. I think there are a lot of us. |
|
Who feel exactly the same way!
When, exactly, did common sense get thrown out of the equation?

8. My dad called CNN the other day |
|
And gave someone's voice mail a very long and angry message about what a farce they had become. He went on at length about the coverage they've been giving Trump and Bachman, without you know... really reporting much news.
I'm sure some staffer picked it up and probably got a chuckle out of it. They're more entertainment than news - I don't know if it was ever different, if so, I don't believe I lived during such a time.

These are tumultuous and bizarre times, ey?
Maybe the batshit crazy will climax and the dissolution will give us the opportunity to build something better in a new way. For now, hunker down and keep it together the best you can.
One way or another, we are in for a heavy duty ride.

12. The revelation that there are actual movements to print state currency |
|
as an alternative to, you know, actual money, was a true cold slap in the face. "Idiocracy" is closer than we realize.

14. That's not the main problem to me. |
|
It's the people who buy into all the bullshit without it even occurring to them that they have been had.
Palin's sheepies would be an excellent case in point.

My dream is to get my sons settled in Canada before I die. Is there any more progress in Vermont towards single payer and such?

18. Hang in there...........12/21/12 is fast approaching. |
|
I kid.......well, kinda.
I know what you're saying -- the crazy, it is wearing -- makes one soul-weary after a while.
I've always been the positive, optimistic, "this too shall pass" sort, but more and more I worry about "us".
I was scrolling through the "news" bullets on Yahoo frontpage a few minutes ago. Of the 48 headliners on the scroll bar SIX were actual news stories -- the rest were fluff. Yeah, I know, it's "Yahoo", but still.........is this really what we -- as a people -- are most concerned with........who was cut on Dancing with the Stars, what Pricess Diana's bridesmaids are up to these days, and what outfit Serena Williams wore to practice in?
I just don't know anymore.

19. Have you watched the film 'Idiocracy' lately? |
|
I'm thinking of watching it again... life is clearly imitating art... or someone was a prophet.
