Oooh ooh, I get a chance to make an honorary stand, do the morally straight thing for the benefit of my fellow man by sticking my neck on the line, then I get to get called names, have people watching call for my death and have my whole act be distilled down to the lowest common denominator - memes on Facebook?

Fuck yeah, where do I sign up?

Said no one, ever.

People in this country fucking ruined it. They ruined it by being complacent to the facts going on around them, and when someone did finally try to institute the closest thing we've seen to the "day of the rope" in our lifetimes, we shat on it. Shat on it and laughed and shat some more.

Fuck it. Whatever.

Most of those people were lied to by the media. They had jobs and families to tend to, and trusted the media to inform them. The media is who you should be mad at. They failed the citizens

Mad at, also? Sure. "Also" I can do.

But truth be told? I gave up on the media a long, long time ago. They're the druggy, been-in-prison-three-times son-in-law that I just don't give a shit about anymore. I'll listen to what they say, I'll hear him out, but I sure don't invest a smidge of anything real into what's coming out of their mouth.

It's the people that I saw commenting, yelling into the camera, standing up high on pedestals. The people let me down. I still had a little hope that, when push came to shove, we'd put the childish shit off to the side for a minute, band somewhat coherently, and trudge through whatever swamp of bullshit we had to so that we could resume the inter-bickering about dick sizes when it was over. Naive? Sure, call it that if you want. But I had it, it was lit and it was there. It is not there anymore, and frankly, I don't think I want to try and get it back.
