the last resort
the eagles said it so well more than thirty years ago and we did not pay attention because, after all, they said it so well...
we satisfy our endless needs
and justify our bloody deeds
in the name of destiny
and in the name of god
maybe the most meaningless complaint of all... it is challenging to be aware i am part of a species so determined on committing suicide, knowing there are voices pointing this out, watching people ignore and continue destroying themselves and each other... the path to extinction if so obvious and yet, we steadfastly remain devoted to staying the course...

ego's complaint
not to reference portnoy at all, not that i want to diminish his complaint, whatever it was, because everybody's got the right to complaint, after all (and you, yes you there, the one who found this post by searching for portnoy's complaint for some book report or whatever, yes you, you have the right to complain too, unless you plaig... plageriz... pla... cut and paste this witty missive into your report, in which case, you did it to yourself so you have nothing to complain about)...
but naturally, ego's complaint is you might be the only one who ever finds all the wonderful words and nonsense i've put on line and written for years, since the dawn of time, even, and i don't have any sort of massive following of crazed fans twittering and tossing underwear (or their cookies, chocolate chip please) at their computers as if i could see (hey, turn on your webcams before you do that sort of thing, aye?) all about how wonderfully in love they are with my amazing cleverness and lovely way with words...
i don't have time for the time it takes to grow an audience of nubile young innocents and their mothers of text phone junkies who worship the written word (i had more written word worshippers in the eighties before al gore and rocky invented the internet, after all)...
i mean, i'm not craig ferguson, but i do have a quip or two worth noticing now and then... and ego, of course, believes i should have millions of ranting and raving fans waking each morning to rush over to their computers just to see what i might have written overnight...
seriously, where are the intelligent people who would recognize the priceless value of reading me?...

a study of humanity (part 4)
grilled breakfast sandwiches, a glimpse of the end of the road for toyota, internet porn, football player proselytizers, fried dead cow patties on buns, preachers arrested for soliciting prostitutes, curdled cow fat on baked bread, 12 year old girls handcuffed and carted out of school for doodling, do unto others as you want them to do, sugar and fat and flour baked with chocolate, excitement over finding video of the challenger exploding, fear the loving god, fried anything, hypocrisy and mental illness everything, and you were distracted by the accident you saw on the way to church… which gets the biggest rise out of you... and why...
what a waste of the potential of the human brain…
humans believe in can’ts and weakness and hate and above all else, fear more than anything else, so they consume delusional explanations and irrational hypocrisy because everybody else does and communal delusions present a placebo to quell the fears…
what a waste of the potential of human life…
meanwhile, if you can get past the depression that such realization can bring, you just might find the amusements available to the awakened mind in this experience of life in this universe…
staring up at the stars each night, do you realize that many of them are not really there because they went supernova (blew up) millions or even billions of years ago?... all you see are the light, like messages in bottles, that was sent out in all directions before humans ever walked on this planet, in some cases, before this planet was even here…
and if that concept does not amuse you, how about the fascination with female breasts?... is it some infantile imprinting that draws most human males to sexual arousal when presented with huge mammary glands, the bigger the better, and yet, most of the same human males are repulsed by fat on most any other part of the female body (though buttocks fat seems to draw an audience)… belly fat, however or neck fat or leg fat, now that is considered unattractive…
but the fat puzzle is not nearly as puzzling (or titillating, perhaps) as the fascination with innocence, virgins, young flesh just a few years past puberty or closer, even… just look at the popular arts, film, tv, music, and if you pretend you don’t see the sexualization of children that sells so well, you may be among the majority of hypocrites condemning in public what you crave and even do in private…
and then there is the phenomenon of legalized poisons, big business and popular pastimes, while condemning and imprisoning and fighting a war on other poisons, some of which are a lot less harmful than your legal poisons… how much money, time, energy, and human life is spent on buying and using the legal poisons and still more money, time, energy, and human life spent on fighting and jailing those who choose the illegal poisons… you need to be irrational and delusional to make sense of it…
all the while, children starve all over the world… earth’s resources and human energy is wasted while children die of starvation and greed and power trips all over the world… from the wealth in the land of the free where children suffer as pawns in divorce, as playthings for adults who want to control anything they can or for priests and parents who condemn their own sexuality while failing to repress their sexual attraction to their children… to the poverty of countries oppressed and condemned by the wealthy nations to remain ignorant and behind the times because we can’t have too many countries equally powerful, especially when they don’t believe in the same delusions and ways of perceiving life and the universe and the unknown that we buy into…
few want to see that the the rich choose to let the poor starve, physically and mentally, while pushing spirituality on them as the answer to all the problems the rich create and ignore… the rich do not want to see it because they do not want to share or lose what they have… the poor don’t want to see it because who wants to face their own powerlessness and abuse…
what a study of humanity shows is that as long as there is the slightest illusion of control, of choice (and what is our cheap consumer culture if not a feast of choice), then the poor are placated and the imbalanced delusions that facilitate oppression can continue… because the fear of loss of control is more powerful than the unpleasantness and cruelty of poverty and illness and suffering of any kind…
if this is pessimistic, prove me wrong...

happy new year, you're dead

military intelligence
once again tragedy caused by human stupidity brings me to yet another meaningless complaint... it was bad enough that the father of the nigerian boy who was able to get on a plane and nearly blow the plane up called and warned his government and the usa cia about his son who basically told his father 'goodbye' as in 'i will never see you again' (a suicide note type conversation), which did get his son on the usa 'watch list' for possible terrorists (along with 500,000 other potential terrorists), but the security machines, homeland security, the cia, and so on did nothing and the plane would have blown up if the kid knew what he was doing with explosives...
military intelligence may be the ultimate oxymoron...
as is the pattern, the paranoid war hawks who support the big business of war (because it's good for the bottom line and pays for their luxuries which they naturally deserve because they work so hard to protect us from threats they ignore and if we look deeper, actually created in the first place... but most people appear to be may be too stupid to see the obvious) are screaming about limiting our rights and invading our provacy all the more because the only solution they see is totalitarianism and they use terrorists to inch us toward their supreme rule over us... and we are too stupid to call them on their incompetence and fire them... i mean, if you hired a doctor to monitor your heart and he saw a potential danger on your eekg and took no action and you had a heart attacke, you'd not only fire that doctor, but you'd sue him (because lawyers have you trained like salivating dogs to sue doctors)... but the people we pay to protect us hear about potential threats, do nothing, and something like 9-11 happens and what do we do?... we buy the excuses the leaders ell us and rally round the flag and spend trillions of dollars (that we borrow from the chinese and others who are quitely taking over our country economically) on wars that no one can win and ultimately, just fuel the differences between nations and delusional systems of belief that are fundamentally the same...
we won't even get into the voice of reason, rush limbaugh, who is a self-confessed drug addict (rush, a junkie?... never, he's too rish, well connected, and conservative to be looked down upon as most other drug addicts are), or how many people live and die by his word (that he transmits into our lives through a gold-plated microphone) as if it is gospel because we must exhalt and respect and trust a junkie (excuse me, self-confessed drug addict) who can't even control his own self-destructive impulses... alas, further digression, let's get back to the point...
so today the smartest and most important intelligence agents we've got, the ones we sent to the source of our hate and fear, behind the lines to 'enemy territory' to 'protect us', these most trusted military intelligence agents let someone walk into their heavily guarded private secure headquarters and BLOW THEM UP...
yes, i just had to scream...
channelling sam kennison...
and now we'll probably rally round the flag and point fingers at the 'enemy' that we created by abusing our power all over their world for a hundred years because we could, and they had stuff we wanted... still do, actually... what?... what right do they have to hate us or fight us for taking their stuff and telling them their faith in their god is wrong?... would most of you not hate and fight me if i took your stuff and told you quite simply that your
how stupid can people get?...
and when we blow ourselves and this planet to smithereens (do you believe smithereens is heaven?), will there be a god who could have stopped us but let us destroy it all there to welcome us into whatever idyllic place you might imagine and forgive us for our self-destruction for we are just poor frail stupid humans who know not what we do?...
what a waste...
personally, i think you are just playing dumb...
