| Plastic "May you live in interesting times."-- Sacred chinese curse As I sat wondering after a hard weeks work, what the fuck is wrong with this insane world,... I realized that we have become plastic. That very substance that is supposed to make life easier has taken over and made us into it's slaves. Hey Keanu its not the machines dumbass, it's the plastic disguised as machines. Hell we even make our money out of plastic so that we can be dominated by it. This I realized is what is wrong with the world. It has oft been said by many a ignorant preacher men that money is the root of all evil. It is what divides us. It is what keeps one class of humanzee above another. And now we have made our money out of plastic, and it doesn't grow on trees, but its much easier to make. Therefore we have the haves and the havenots all over again. Those who make the plastic have the power. They sell the illusion of power when you buy their plastic. Usually at 21% interest over the life of the loan. You sacrifice to the plastic gods to get ahead of Jones. Then jones bows down on the dicks of power and asks to out do smith and then you know the whole cycle repeats. At a certain finite point of debt and missed payments they own you. You are their slave. We throw down the bankcard or credit card, or check card for everything. I paid twenty seven cents once at a convenience store with my debit card for a small coffee refill. It was enough of a taste for me. I may play with in the system, but I have fun doing it. What drove it home for me was this. I just watched the "Best of Sturgis 2004." pay per view at the Full throttle saloon. It made me sick. These bastards have made Sturgis into a national holiday, Much like Christmas. You take time off from your cushy ass yuppie job. You tell your old lady to get half naked and then you put your bike on your fucking trailer and your fucking yuppie soccer wife on your bike and haul it to fucking South Dakota behind your 40 Foot Fucking Winnebego." This fucking movie was an hour and a half infomercial for the biggest fucking yuppie playground to come along since Walt Disney had his first wet dream. Who knew that Jesse James Dupree of Jackyll was a pitchman for a circus of yuppies. Fucking one hit wonder. And that is debatable. They had to pack these fuckers into this bar like cattle on a feed lot. That was a whole lot of plastic pissed away that night at the Full Throttle "Saloon" It's just too bad it cost me twenty dollars in plastic to understand that. (C) 2004 RavenBragisson |
