Glad to see this shit is getting around. Hopefully if enough people know about it they will do something.

I feel it.

“And it seems to me perfectly in the cards that there will be within the next generation or so a pharmacological method of making people love their servitude, and producing a kind of painless concentration camp for entire societies, so that people will in fact have their liberties taken away from them but will rather enjoy it, because they will be distracted from any desire to rebel by propaganda, brainwashing, or brainwashing enhanced by pharmacological methods.”

I’m pretty sure that they achieved that goal when the television ended up in just about every home. Instead of uttering mommy, daddy, etc, children have learned “how YOU doin?” or “Megazord” from their new babysitter. They still get to carry on the tradition of having a crush on her and ogling her many goodies each night at 6pm. You don’t know, they might be called ‘boob tubes’ for more than one reason. Programs made by someone we will probably never meet are replacing the hour of abc’s or patty-cake we should spend with our children. It’s all training that can be unlearned, but it takes a great amount of effort as well as time to do so.

But that’s why they invented Ritalin! Eureka! Shove that pill down their throat to calm them down – they can wash it down with that 20oz liquid caffeine bottle of death. When the pretty colors and loud noise (and don’t forget violence!) just aren’t enough to hold a child’s attention any longer and they get bored and randomly start working on something else instead; or they are so used to the ‘after the break’ recaps which programs utilize that they can’t possibly take the teacher seriously when she asks them to sit and read or stay still and quiet for a full hour?! I can hear it now: “teacher please! You can keep going over them numbers for shizzle while I holla at my peeps on my non-operational plastic gizmo-izzle. Gimme your digits too and you might get lucky and I’ll let you recap it for me right before the test ”

I haven’t watched the video yet because everyone that’s posted about it has said that it upset them, so I responded before hand. It’s a strategic move really. I got to bitch about how the children being our future is a scary thought overall and how we’d rather drug them up than to change our own habits just a little so they wouldn’t be stuck in the same positions (or leaders for that matter) as we are. We tell them what they should and shouldn’t do instead of encouraging the common good and give them the “why-s” to use at their own descretion. Each generation tries to own the next without realizing that times and situations have changed – nor do they realize that no one is owned or controlled by another. Our society likes to ‘fix’ issues at times of election, but could give two shits less when it comes to making life better for every individual involved. etc etc – you get my point. Now when I watch the video and it’s about something completely different, I get to bitch all over again! woohoo!

Ahem, yes well… residual hormones surfacing I suppose. o.O In theory, it may not have been video that killed the radio star. It may have just been the chemicals used in the invention of the tv dinner that set in motion the drastic shift in paradigm from communicating with family members/having human interaction at dinner time – all together, as a unit, learning manners as well as sharing – towards the grab a plate, grub, belch, sleep module where it’s easier to get our toddlers burgers and fries to clog their arteries because at least they’ll get a toy too and it’ll keep them quiet for the rest of the ride home.

It’s that mystery meat that did it… I knew it wasn’t really Salisbury Steak, er, hamburger, um, whatever they want to call it at the time so that we buy their surplus and truly believe that we’re getting variety.

She sees both sides to just about everything, but she had the hamburger with that gravy stuff on it and she’s been argumentative ever since. In a few days, it’ll… pass… and all opinions would become null and void.
