I am sick of people thinking for elephants instead of themselves. | brutmystik's Blog


 

The weather has changed nicely; it is the first of October after all, the beginning of the fourth quarter of the year.

I was thinking this morning about Derrion Albert, the HONOR student beaten to death in Chicago. I think the individual who recorded the cold and hellacious murder on their personal talking device should be charged with negligent homicide for not stopping the recording and calling 911. In fact, just dust him/her too-we don’t need people like that in the world who will stand aloof and watch others die. I am sick of this shit: Of people who consistently make tragically wrong decisions. I am sick of people fighting over religion and nuclear weapons. I am sick of Roman Polanski’s and John Couey’s. I am sick of politicians having economic summits and spa time every year since I have been alive and every year the troubles deepen all over the globe. I am sick of watching commercials that tell me to “Invest in Turkey” and “The Qattar Foundation” I am sick of seeing recruitment ads for the CIA and Homeland Security. I am sick of emotional vultures and thought Czars. I am tired of earthquakes and afraid of Augmented viewing of earthly parks from space in real time (AAE, Florida tech-thanks nerds). I do not like elephants washing cars in Oregon at a WILDLIFE PRESERVE, “But they like it!” No, they like the peanuts, you fool. I am sick of people thinking for elephants instead of themselves.

But today will be a good day for me anyway, in spite of human pain, drama, stupidity, despair and unseemly use of animals.

mOod: WE NEED A SOUL WASH.

What? Elephants washing cars? That is absurd.

The new counter-culture motto should be: "Tune out, turn back and drop by" All that is real and good and beautiful in this life will not be broadcast. Indeed, the revolution will not be televised.

Critical thinking just isn't encouraged or usually practiced...are people so beaten down by life or so self-involved that they only can view their own small worlds? Or are we all victims of mass hypnosis? Thank you for your insightful blog.
