of sh*t!
If you don't want someone unhappy politically, don't give him two sides of a question to worry him, give him one. Better yet, give him none. Let him forget there is such a thing as war.... Give the people contests they win by remembering the words to popular songs or how much corn Iowa grew last year Chock them so damned full of 'facts' and they'll feel stuffed, but absolutely 'brilliant' with information. And they'll be happy, for facts of that sort don't change. Then they'll feel their thinking. They'll get a sense of motion without moving.'" --Captain Beatty, "Fahrenheit 451"
You are allowed to believe anything but know nothing!
Combine that with the asininity of your average talk show where the audience gets to externalize its insecurities by venting at the freaks of one sort or another that usually sit on stage. Notice how they are the extreme of one baser aspect of the human psyche or another. I talk to people about Iraq who have heard my take for a few years, one guy had two friends get killed there and still can't deal with my "attitude". That dumb bastard will never hear my attitude again. If he doesn't get it by now he never will. This is a return to the Middle Ages where the audience took out their frustrations with miserable existence on the least of their lot. Mendacity reigns in the News with a new murder, or politician having an affair every second (which is worse?). You have a concerted effort by these conservative controlled media, that is curiously accused of being liberal, to dumb down, debase and trivialize the human existence. To destroy the historical conciousness, so people cannot remember anything meaningful from history.....they are too caught up with all of the "choices" in the present. A blitzkrieg of meaningless variety.
Then there are the "Stars". The phony silver screen or video creations that never really were anything, a myth, a cathode ray fantasy with no more grounding in fact than "phlogiston" and no more tractable than the electrons that lined up to make them. Larger than life "Holly wood legends" that, by the fact that all you see is their best act, make everyone, even the present day stars who haven't yet lived their perfect lives, seem so much less than them. They are the Gods and Goddesses of Greek Mythology. I watch as girls working out in the gym were I go to keep my ticker ticking study their bodies to see if everything is perfect, where they vigourously thumb through "Woman's magazines" and try so hard to look like the stars and models in the mag look.....and even try to ......feeeeel.....like the stars in the magazine look like they feel like. This is the clincher.....the perennially smiling faces on every billboard, poster, paper, with perfucked bodies and
THEY ARE ALWAYS HAPPY!! WHY AM I NOT TOTALLY HAPPY?? A TOTAL MINDFUCK!!
The perpetual low self-esteem building media machine!
I go to the bookstore to read and study and I see people consuming books and worthless magazines by the pile. I observe. I watched this one woman, with a stack of "Glamour" magazines noisily shuffling through them, then her male friend came by and she got nasty with him, stomping out of the bookstore. This consumption of magazines is incredible. Row after row of "fuck me" shit and a tiny space dedicated to political journals sprinkled with a few "Left of Center" magazines.

Then you go take an anti-depressant manufactured by the Bush dynasty company Eli Lilly, Pfizer, or if your depression goes to your gut you can take the "Purple pill from Nex-to-fart". If your internal torment, turns to torpor and you are in "rad" oppositon to the status quo and yuppiedom, you can take a, line of coke or heroin or some other Bush family controlled illegal drug and still feed the greed machine, but think you are fighting the system. Give your dog "puppy uppers" and " doggy downers" as Gilda Radner satirized the "Depression industry" on Saturday Night Live some three decades ago. You never, never, never see that kind of lampooning today. Opra got a lawsuit for saying something negatory about hamburgers. We must not call into question the Captains of sicko "learned helplessness" industries. There is no depth to anything, the fascist puppeteers won't let it happen.
You go to your e-mail and there is a picture of a perfuckable girl or boy who wants to meet you at one of the many computer dating services and chat lines. People believe this shit! They really think you can market a relationship like the rest of the shit!! People believe, and this is backed up with studies in psychology, that people that are physically attractive are also good people.
What a sorry, sick, psychologically crippled society we have become. Where Opra and her mainstay Dr. "You know what you need to do" Swill tell you how it is and how to be, and how to get there. But they never tell you what I am telling you here. That is that the whole cathode-print--radio shithole is what is often causing your depression. All of the unrealistic material and social expectations these mediums inundate you with are morally and spiritually destructive. YOU have been duped, brainwashed with impossibly perfect images of impossibly perfect situations, that have impossibly perfect ending. People are debilitated, deindividualized and dumbed--down, to consume products for the profits of the fascist media.
The social critics of today that get personal with the audience to help them with their particular problem, NEVER look at the very medium they are selling this shit in. They, like everyone else, are just selling a product.
Think about it.
