I was sorting out my dinner and I had this thought:
Could you accuse McCain Foods for partisan bias?
I bet some comedian has had this thought ten months ago and I'm about to be sued for plagiarism.

The Benatar Theory
I have a theory that Pat Benatar is a demon. To be honest I kind of read her last name and I heard it in my own mind being barked out by some abyssal entity. If you ever see me, ask me to demonstrate (or I might even record it and link it here).
But the more I checked into it the more likely it is. 'Hit Me With Your Best Shot' is in fact a taunt to all demon hunters. I believe if you sing this song backwards you banish her from the mortal plane of existence.
But more and more song titles started playing to my theory. 'Hell is For Children', 'You Better Run', and even 'Promises in the Dark' - A stark warning about worshipping the Benatar, for a bargain with her is a desperate one:
She's on to me... I MUST AWAY

Where brave and restless dreams are both won and lost
On the edge is where it seems its well worth the cost
She's on to me... I MUST AWAY

Political Discourse
In keeping with my rampant xenophobia of recent. I hate America's politics. They want salt of the earth leaders. No elites! No elitists!
Shut the fuck up you crazy bastards! You want people who can not only understand more than you but are able to communicate that understanding to you concisely. This is not necessarily attainable because somebody isn't from a Washington elite.
On a more general note. If you can't achieve the above you want crafty, devious and almost unscrupulous people in charge of your governing party and your main opposition party. The more they are distracted by themselves the less they are concentrating on milking you for every penny you are worth.
That is all.

Introspection
While dealing with others you may well have to combat yourself.
Not everybody is as bad as I am with people. Even so, most people have to restrain themselves in order to prevent offence or drama every now and again. I don't do this often enough and for the most part it leaves me with a lot of hassle on my hands and you should generally call it in.
However, you will be brought to that position either by yourself, by another, or a co-operative effort between the two of you warring fools. For some of you more feeling souls out there you may feel the pang of guilt I feel when you get yourself in that mess. However I find that my heart has screamed for vengeance twice as much as it has ever loved.
It occurs to me we are creatures of conflict. If you find people who you aren't ever at war with even when you disagree, you have yourself a friend and you'd be a fool to let it slip.
That is all. I just wanted to do some writing, I'm going to bed now.

Bad Habits
I have a few bad habits. One of them is staying up late for no reason. Most of the time it's because I was out late at the weekend and then there's no reason to be up the next day. I'm currently in one of those cycles. It was a friend's birthday on Saturday. 'So what?' nobody asks...
I am killing time until I'm tired. And that time is being killed here. I have been neglecting my writing. I'm not a good writer in any sense of the word. I have a modest skill for articulation but I have no form. No pace or rhythm to what I'm typing/scribbling. I only usually do it as catharsis. In early years it was to show off. "Look how weird and funny I am". "Pay attention to me". If I didn't write it down I'd only end up muttering to myself when I thought I was alone. I caught myself more recently doing this again. But no longer is it funny stuff. It's not weird crap, slanted perspective to draw laughs. I have begun to sound out what my opinion is on a subject, any subject, and what my considerations are in order to reach them. It is good to know what I think given a subject, but it is not good to get caught doing it.
What am I saying? Nothing much. As I said above, I'm just killing time.

Propaganda: A guide to ground level population control.
My knowledge of propaganda as a science is limited. But that which I do see I see almost everywhere. I see it from politicians: Often now considered spin rather than propaganda. I see it from media: Sound bite their pundits and hold them as gospel truth. But worst of all I see it from their puppets, us: When we espouse somebody's platform, often with malcontent and tones of relief as if our messiah had come.
It's this third one that kills me the most. It's pathetic. I see it a lot in Britain. People think themselves the suppressed when the facts say nothing of the sort. It's a foul tactic and it makes me shudder. And don't think I get away from my own judgement. I chastise myself for such behaviour. And you should too. You have an opinion. You are welcome to it. Don't give it unless you're willing to discuss it with people not only who agree with you but people who disagree with you.
This is all preamble of course. Britain is never as bad as the British think. With the rise and expansion of the internet though I do hear a lot of Americans carrying on about their poor opinions and how nobody listens and how the media is geared against them. On both sides. It's incredulous that a people when given the right to express themselves freely as part of their founding constitution can think they are suppressed. They are often ignored, but that could be because all of the loud ones are gas bags such as myself.
Perhaps I keep encountering the idiots but every single one of those I do encounter manipulate and ruin my beloved language. And not in the traditional Anglo-American gripes about spelling the word colour. It's an old trick of propaganda to warp and manipulate words for common parlance to use as insults or manipulations.
In the States the Right has a habit of butchering the word Liberal. Confusing it with "Left-leaning", "hippy", and "socialist". That very much sums up American education for me. Anybody who associates Liberals with Socialists are idiots. Socialists advocate state-control of society, property, industry and economics. Liberals advocate state separation from these things. Consider the root word: LIBERTY! But there, Liberalism isn't that, it's some kind of movement for destruction that will steal your babies at night.
If you're a Liberal in America, your opponents consider you 'Unamerican', whatever that means. It's a modern apparition. What happened to the word treason? What happened to the word antithesis? Why is it that people feel the need to make everything 'un' this and 'un' that to any word no matter how incompatible with the format? It's a bloody travesty!
This rant was very much inspired by the straw that broke this camel's back: Protestthemedia.com
There's a whole rant about America being taken over by socialists. That Liberal protest was heard but theirs was not by the media. Really? Well what was all that last Eight years of George Bush? Was that not your vote? You won! What the hell are you complaining about? What could you possibly need from the media that the Government you voted for can't give you?
It's always the tortured winners that whine the most. Even bad losers shut the fuck up at some point. And this is what it boils down to. If they don't make you feel like they aren't in danger you won't rally to the status quo come what may. Propaganda forces you. Either to sit still or stand up. It compells you. It takes away from you your first true right in modern times. To choose as your conscience judges the time to stand and speak and the time to sit down and enjoy what's being said. Don't listen to anything or anybody who wants you to immediately without thought do the following:
Now don't get me wrong, you can make your own decision and disagree with me totally. I'm just asking you to think your decision through about what you think. That way when we discuss it we can actually discuss rather than you sling mud at me and I tell you you're an asshat who trolls the internet. I have picked on the right today because it's the Right that have wound me up today. So some Far right bag of cocks will find this and comment calling me a fucking hippy-liberal. I believe in liberal economics, I can't fucking stand hippies. And you will have missed the point.
I'm angry and it's 2am. I have to be up in five hours or so to work. So just to get out my system: anybody who just read all that just to hate me hates democracy and the right to free expression. You don't like it? Go live in fucking China with the rest of the oligarchs.
