packrat2's Journal: rant-mode

Losing faith in humanity one person at a time? Naw, whole governments at a time these sad days.

    Looks good, doesn't work.

    Here? No parking at new stadium (which is condoized), new marble at shopping centers, (power outages and dead trees all over.) Can't build bridges, lay red brick can't survey tunnels.

    People? The bullshit passionate, psycho gamers and lunchmeat technocrats.

    You like? Eww. Jealousy and vengeance, gaming for the 1% and easily-bought expertise.
  Vandals, jackals and nobles who've moved from lynching bandits to collecting taxes.

    So. Welcome, diebold. Hello, monsanto. Any mineral discovery gets 32 indian tribes claiming it as their traditional territory, any oil gets 32 different groups fighting over that. Or a one-man frozen-out bottle-neck.

    I'm not even going to start in on corp espionage. Mickysoft pays 5 billion a year for what it steals for example, and that doesn't count trolls and submarining.

    Faithless, whole divisions at a time. You would not believe the sleaze in communications, for example. (the news+ weather brought to you by tobacco companies.)

    Even in canada, it includes random bombings, (Van, bc, stopping free satellite cable), entrapment of TV service providers, (Northen TV), ANY crits of the feds.

I gonna say cielia dion, bieber and s.twain here too. popular culture? How long has it been since MTV ceased being a (red-headed) force?

    Honey-bees? Hospital infections? Molesting priests. Education that isn't anything but self-serving propaganda.

    Well, water is running out all over. Dead empty rivers, dry reservoirs. New plagues and invasive species are stalking various lands. Mystery die-offs, too.

    mega-projects and mega-disasters.

    looks good. Doesn't work.

    Phones? Leaky, expensive, cancerous.

    Food, maybe?

    Bah. The human race is not sufficiently enlightened to do anything in it's own interest yet.
