I've got a bug up my ass about something that has pushed my buttons and I feel the need to vent. I often wonder how long it'll take before the "moronic majority" in this country figures out who the real enemy is. Every day we're bombarded with reports on the War on Drugs, War on Poverty, War on Crime, War on Pornography, War on Hate, etc, etc, ad infinitum. Everybody is fighting some sort of battle: Male vs. Female, White vs. Black, Christian vs. Jew vs. Muslim, Heterosexual vs. Homosexual, Liberal vs. Conservative. Goddamn! We're some fightin' motherfuckers, ain't we?

The problem is we're fighting the wrong battles. We're fighting battles that are instigated and egged on by those who have a vested interest in keeping us, the common rabble, pissed off at each other so we'll never close ranks and face the common foe. Distraction and diversion, that's what the rich corporate bigwigs of this country (indeed, the world) and their tittie-baby government pawns use to keep us in check. It's been happening throughout history and it'll keep happening until this country gets the enema it so desperately needs. When that'll happen is anybody's guess.

A good example of diversionary tactics that are being used to stir up emotion and rancor among the mindless masses is the ongoing (and apparently never-ending) debate over the confederate battle flag. I have the dubious distinction of living in a state where the debate rages on as to whether or not the confederate battle flag, or Star and Bars, should continue to be displayed on the state house grounds. This past year the state legislature spent 99% of their time dealing with this bullshit. The NAACP staged a boycott of businesses throughout the state that didn't submit to their views. They managed to divert quite a bit of revenue from the state due to the relocation of conventions, sporting events, and so forth.

On the opposing side are the hammerheads who think we're still fighting the fucking Civil War or, as they call it, the War Between the States. The flag was recently removed from the capitol dome, just as the NAACP demanded, and put on a pole behind the confederate war memorial in front of the state house. This, after the legislature spent almost all of their time debating this shit and ignoring other more important issues. Problem solved, right? Wrong. Now the NAACP isn't satisfied with that and they want the fucking thing removed from the grounds altogether. Here we go again.

The point I'm trying to make here is that this horseshit will keep going on until (if ever) enough people wake the fuck up and say enough is enough. The debate will continue, stirring up emotions and causing people from both sides of the issue to hate each other and become more polarized. All the while our schools will still suck, our roads will still suck, we will still pay too fucking much in taxes, and so on. More importantly, everyone will stay so busy arguing with each other about the flag that the cocksuckers in power will sit back for another year raking in their kickbacks and getting richer while the rest of us keep sucking eggs. I'm sure this same sort of scenario plays itself out in every corner of our country in some form or fashion.

I'm not the brightest light bulb of the bunch but I can see what's going on so, goddamnit, why the fuck don't more people realize this? It's shit like this that reaffirms my belief that most people are nothing more than animated skin-suits who would be doing the rest of us a favor if they dropped dead right fucking now. We need a goddamned revolution in this country. Is anybody else as pissed about this as I am? Any thoughts?
