we todd ed
so... aparrently the largest sport, though i use the term with mixed feelings, is Nascar.
automobile racing.
it is mainly in the south, and in the rural midwest where this "sport" has taken off so too speak.
now the cars (for it is car racing) have the sponser logos and brand names all over them.
so while the folks watching the racing are hoping for a car wreck, they are being inundated by massive amounts advertising.
while all this serves to dull the wits of the masses and continue the tradition of american commerce, for what would you want to buy after watching cars with cigerrette and beer logos drive around for four hours but beer and cigerrettes, but it also serves to point out just how STUPID we are as a country.
car racing.
number one sport in the country.
a sport that requires a special blend of a good that is now costing us over $3.00 a gallon.
and we are outraged by the price.
but yet, gladly watch automobiles sucking up massive amounts of this precious fuel for our entertainment.
yep.
i don't feel we as a country have any room to complain about the gas prices.
i also think this number one sport should be shut down until they can find a way to do it with out gasoline.
now sure alot of slack jawed rednecks will have to find something else to do on a sunday other than watch cars suck up the stuff that they complain is too high priced.
but it's a small price to pay for the idiots that embrace this rather american passtime.
ALL HAIL KING BUSH
we have a president who is setting us up for an oligarchy, a beautifully construed oligarchy of right wing conservative republicans.
it's even fewer people than the original democrat/republican system we've got now.
it's beautiful really, Bush ignoring laws that congress has inacted.
particullarly laws that affect the military.
he's commander in chief; he'll interpet the constitutionality of the laws.
the supreme court is apparently defunct.
and so too apparently is congress.
we here in our country are all asleep.
we are fed entertainment till we consume our own intellect with its drivel: reality t.v., sports, pop music, bigger and better, faster and faster.
turn around and take my hand...
once it's gone we, like mindless automatons, nod our head.
sure we're disatisified with things.
but we're disatisified with smoke and mirrors.
we're disatisified with simple palor tricks while the rest of the world looks on and shakes their head at us.
we here in Utah are particularly asleep.
if the rest of the country still supported Bush like this state did, i'd be even more fearful than i currently am.
our president and his administration is taking power from the congress and from the supreme court
and while murmurs of outrage have begun to be heard across the land, here in Utah, silence.
stone cold silence.
the only murmurs heard are mutterings from the mindless spawn that blindly follow, ridiculing those of us who have the audacity to question the Bush administration.
Steve Colbert is brilliant, that's all there is too it.
the fact that he had the courage, and the audicity, brilliant, beautiful audicity, to critize Bush and his administration while he sat mere feet from the podium.
it is my sincere hope, that America wakes up.
and with that, i'll leave you with this little snippet from a document of our history, it goes to show that Georges are bad news.
"Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, --That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness. Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shewn, that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security. —Such has been the patient sufferance of these Colonies; and such is now the necessity which constrains them to alter their former Systems of Government. The history of the present King of Great Britain [George III] is a history of repeated injuries and usurpations, all having in direct object the establishment of an absolute Tyranny over these States."
-Declaration of Independence.
selling's a dangerous business rabbit.
so it's the first of may.
well, that's terrific isn't it?
i really don't care one way or the other right now.
it's funny how you think of people that used to mean something to you long ago at the strangest times.
Lauralee, beautiful blonde, two years younger than me in highschool. i spent alot of time with her; no, didn't date her, but her and i were very good friends.
we were relatively close, i would have considered her a close friend.
and i haven't seen her for about ten years.
that's what happens.
it sucks, it really does, but... well that's life.
it seems callous, and it kind of is.
but, i'm sort of a callous person.
finished Charlotte's Web on Saturday.
it was fun show, it was a great honor to work with those kids: an incredibly talented lot that Richie had to work with, i was very, very impressed.
i know one thing, that guy has earned their respect.
he's earned mine.
i'm going to miss working with him.
and speaking of kids... it sucks about your blog Nick.
i checked it regularly (read, every day).
i hope you aren't gone for long.
i'll email you.
good bye.
