Well, it's friday, the 13th, again, so we should all be very afraid that something bad will happen. We can sit paralyzed in fear all day. I feel like the whole show is tumbling down. The human race has figured too much out, and now life is so complicated that the dangers of existence are ready to overwhelm us. Like the Large Hadron Collider at CERN which threatens to create a small black hole which could conceivably swallow the earth, possibly in just a few years, as it expands. Yep, the first world sure is an interesting place to follow the news. Smart people are the dumbest people on earth. Let's invent this to fix that, and we'll let somebody else worry about fixing all the problems that our little quick fix will cause. It's like this whole thing about getting the "standard of living" up around the world. We are sold this hawbaggery all the time. Sure, having a high standard of living is great. We get to eat food from all over the world, while the third world starves. We get to drive in cars, fly in airplanes, and have our lights on all the time, while the have-nots just get a warming planet, and deteriorating farming conditions. The faster the first world grows, the more of a middle class is created in China, India, and the rest of the world, the faster the supplies that the planet can provide will be used up in the waste wash of consumerism. By spreading apple pie and the American way, we are accelerating the demise of human life on the planet. The way we live is not sustainable, and we are on the verge of the back lash. We were #1. Not anymore. We made our bed, and we've been busy making the bed of the rest of the world, and now we are all in bed together, and it's getting dirty. Really dirty. What am I talking about? It's a beautiful day. I'm gonna go out whistling and buy an expensive breakfast of imported foods. Mmm. I have yet to find a drug that completely removes the feeling of guilt which threatens to overwhelm. Television works pretty good. Maybe i'll turn on CNN, and see what's happening between us and them. But wait. We're all on the same boat, orbiting around the sun, in the midst of this vast universe of the unknown. It could all be so much fun if I didn't know how to read, if I wasn't subjected to all this information. The world is as small as we make it. I sure wish this town had an Arby's.
