More To Come

Hello, friends and enemies.

Several times in my life, I've found the future dim enough to consider saying Goodbye, Cruel World. That was foolish. I have learned by watching the world at large that it's better to say Fuck You Cruel World. Because the world is cruel only because people are thoughtless, mean and selfish. I have chosen not to leave, but to engage the absurdness of what we call a society with newfound rage for the inherent ignorance of well-meaning, but wrong-headed behavior.

Much of which I am guilty of myself. I do not appoint myself sainthood. Quite the opposite, my personal exploration of these reactions, feelings and prejudices within myself allow me to comment. I may be a leper, but I know a lot about leprosy and am qualified to speak on it.

Rather than throw these tantrums at facebook, maybe this is where they belong. That's my idea today at least; channel the rage I feel at being considered a leech on society, a lazy bum, a scammer, simply because I accept the unemployment benefits my 45 years of tax paying allows me to claim.

2011 has been the year half the citizens in the United States came out in favor of telling the some of the hardest working, least rewarded people in the country to piss off and die, while grabbing the balls of major corporations and corrupt billionaires and sucking on them like lollipops. I missed the press release that it is now easier for a rich man to enter heaven than for a poor man to get a helping hand.

Fuck You, Cruel World. You are full of shit. As am I. But let's pick through the shit and see what we can learn.
