Re: We Are the Doomed Species - Opinions

Wow, this is magnificent. I've got a great idea. Maybe you can find a
comedian to work this into their routine. Let's see, who would this routine
work for? Maybe Chevy Chase. He'd be ok, I remember his rant about Wally
World being a "quest" from the movie Vacation. He's got the fire, but I
don't think he's gloom and doom enough. Maybe Carrottop. No, not quite
his style. Wait, I know. What about George Carlin? Oh wait, he's dead.
That's a shame, because I'd bet he could pull this one off with all the
right indignation.

I guess you're just stuck with posting it here and letting us marvel over
it. It's a shame that it will be lost to such a small venue like RGP when
the whole country, no, as a matter of fact, the whole world, could see it.
Maybe you could video yourself doing this speech and uploading it to
YouTube. Now there's an idea!

They say we need more money for education. That's the big answer to
everything, education. They say we need more money for books, more
teachers, more classrooms, more schools, and more testing for the
kids, and they'll say, well we tried all of that, and the kids still
can't pass the tests. Don't worry about that, because we're going to
lower the passing grades, and that's what they do in a lot of these
schools. They lower the passing grades so more kids can pass - more
kids pass, the school looks goods, and the IQ of the country slips
another 2 or 3 points. And pretty soon all you'll need to get into
college is a pencil. Got a pencil? Then get in there, it's physics!

Then people wonder why 17 other countries graduate more scientist than
we do. Education - politicians use that word, they use it on you.
Politicians have traditionally hidden behind 3 things: the flag, the
bible, and children - no child left behind, no child left behind. Oh,
really it wasn't too long ago you were talking about giving children a
head start. Head start - left behind, someone's losing ground here,
but there's a reason. There's a reason for this. There's a reason
education sucks, and it's the same reason it'll never ever be fixed -
it's never going to get any better, don't look for it, be happy with
what you got, because the owners of this country don't want that. I'm
talking about the real owners now. The wealthy big business interests
that controls things, and makes all the important decisions.

Forget the politicians, they're irrelevant. The politicians are put
there to give you the idea you have freedom of choice - you don't. You
have no choice. You have owners. They own you. They own everything.
They own all the important land. They own, and control the
corporations. They've long since bought, and payed for the senate, the
congress, the state houses, the city halls, they got the judges in
their back pockets, and they own all the big media, so they control
just about all the information you get. They got you by the balls.
They spend billions of dollars every year lobbying - lobbying, to get
what they want.

Well we know what they want. They want more for themselves, and less
for everybody else, but I'll tell you what they don't want - they
don't want a population of citizens capable of critical thinking. They
don't want well informed, well educated people capable of critical
thinking. They're not interested in that - that doesn't help them.
That's against their interests. That's right. They don't want people
that are smart enough to sit around a kitchen table, and think about
how badly they're getting screwed by a system that threw them
overboard 30 fucking years ago. They don't want that. You know what
they want? Obedient workers - Obedient workers, people who are just
smart enough to run the machines, and do that paper work. And just
dumb enough to passively accept all these increasingly shittier jobs
with the lower pay, the longer hours, the reduced benefits, the end of
overtime, and vanishing pension that disappear the minute you go to
collect it, and now they're coming for your social security money.
They want your retirement money. They want it back so they can give it
to their criminal friends on Wall Street, and you know something?
They'll get it - they'll get it all from you sooner or later cause
they own this place. It's a big club, and you aint in it. You, and I
are not in The Big Club.

By the way, it's the same big club they use to beat you over the head
with all day long when they tell you what to believe. All day long
beating you over the head with their media telling you what to
believe, what to think, and what to buy.

The table has tilted folks. The game is rigged, and nobody seems to
notice. Nobody seems to care. Good honest hard working people: white
collar, blue collar it doesn't matter what color shirt you have on.
Good honest hard working people continue (these are people of modest
being) - continue to elect these rich douchebags who don't give a ***
about you. They don't give a *** about you - they don't give a ***
about you. They don't care about you at all - at all - at all, and
nobody seems to notice. Nobody seems to care.

That's what the owners counted on. The fact that Americans will
probably remain willfully ignorant of the big red, white, and blue
*** that's being jammed up their assholes everyday, because the
owners of this country know the truth. It's called the American Dream
cause you have to be asleep to believe it.
