why bother caring?

honest question...  we spend so much time on all of this.  and we're headed towards Clinton and McCain...  I can't find a sliver of difference between the two on anything that matters...  not that there's more than a sliver of difference between any of the major candidates, but some of them have that aura...

people will be happy so long as their cable tv pumps through and gas is in their car, and the McDonalds drive-thru is open... but hopefully, one day in my lifetime, more Nixon and more Humphrey and more Clinton and more Bush and More McCain will land people with no gasoline and no television and no police and no telephone and chaos...  and then they can do some real thinking...

That, my friend, is why Im looking at Canadian colleges ONLY.

there's no ing difference...  you're missing the point entirely...  Stephen Harper and Paul Martin and Jean Chretien aren't your saviours either...

you people don't get it...  it's not about Obama or delegates or 2016...  but I'm alone, I realize that, until one day when I'm not

the choice isn't between "center-right" and "right" not is it about "left" and "socialism" and "taxes" and "Nazis"...  there is no choice because of chronic apathy...

think about this...  a majority (MAJORITY) MAJORITY  of Republican primary voters in SC (also known as, Americans) support the deportation of undocumented immigrants.  they get off on the fantasy of police barging into ghettos, shoving Mexicans onto boats at gunpoint, and dumping them on a hill back in their Old Country...  I suppose we could be sympathetic and say, they don't think it through in their minds that way, or are too dumb...  but as much as it may be true, they don't care enough to think about it...  I share the title of American with millions of these people, and, their presence is the reason why I'm not proud to be an American, and can't foresee ever holding to the cliche, nor should anyone who can think...  or cares too...

Vander Blubb, it won't be the end of the world, until it is.

But once those people elect the people you want, you'd love being an American! Suddenly, America is great!

you show a fundamental misunderstanding of who I am and what I believe...  but I can't really expect you to "get it" since we only know each other through a website...  you're forgiven

I go through these fazes where I become obsessed with girls in my school who I don't know for a few months, and I do weird sh**t about it and it becomes a running joke until it fades away...  and most of the time, people don't even think the girl is all that hot...  but I do.  it's not like there's much of any emotional component to it, besides what I make of it...

originally there was Claire, and that has faded out...  now there's Mari..  last night I "poked" her on Facebook...  and she has poked back... and now we're in a poke war...  I don't even know if she knows who I am...  but it satiates me, as crazy as it is...  the only things that exist, are the things I can FEEL...  and I can feel that poke war

I just got back a few minutes ago from my walk down the street to smoke a Red.  when I started smoking I thought I'd only do it socially.  but now I walk down my street in 20* weather to go smoke.  "the things you own end up owning you."  but anyway, I used to go by this tree.  lean against it, facing a fence.  very difficult for anyone to see me.  not that I much care in the sense you're thinking, but it was peaceful.  so as I approach the spot where I smoke, I come to a realization: the tree is no longer there!  it has been cut down in the last few days.  lying with the tree shavings were a few of my old cigarette butts.  I spent the next few minutes searching for another tree, but couldn't find one, so I lit up in the middle of the road.  the untold effects of deforestation...

Looking at it a Marxist viewpoint where the rulers hoodwink the Masses is totally inadequent. Would Joe Sixpack rule any differently? any better? (And anti-immigration does not show apathy. It shows a strong sense of Reactionarism. Which is something totally different. But would require a totally different post.)

I've renounced Marxism.  not that I ever labeled myself anything, but anyway...

my point about immigration and apathy...  if people actually thought about what mass deportation would look like, I don't think they'd favor it anymore.  but perhaps I'm too kind to My Fellow Americans, perhaps they are just evil... reactionaries certainly, but also, evil.
