Yep, it's been a while....

It sure has been a while since my last post. Not that anyone cares, since there are so many of these blasted things, I'm just another tiny ripple in the sea. No problem there. This is really only for my benefit anyway. Everyone else can sod off.

You know, I'm constantly amazed at the self-serving, egotistical people in America these days. I mean when someone you love can just stab you in the back without blinking, THAT'S fucked up. I'm continually amused by the way people only think for themselves. Even ones who decide to have children are only out for themselves. They don't think of anyone else. And THAT'S why this country of our is fucked. Period. There is no self-sacrifice anymore. There is no long-term view of things. In America, if you can't get it yesterday, then you aren't keeping up. If we got in a major war, I really believe we'd lose. Badly. Had WW2 started now, we'd have never beaten the Japanese. Much less Nazi Germany. We'd be too busy protesting, or evading our responsibility to protect freedom in this world.

Hell, we're doing our best to give up that freedom that was so hard won all those years ago. We'd much prefer for the government to do everything for us. Take care of us. Universal healthcare, bailing the stupid people out of those McMansions they bought but could never afford. No more personal responsibility here.

I mean, when someone you've known for 15 years and who you've trusted and cared about that long lies to you, hides the truth from you, that's really pathetic. When you're married to that person, it's even worse. It's no longer about the US, be it a marriage, partnership or nationalism, or otherwise, it's about ME. It doesn't matter who stands in your way, what laws you might be breaking, what social norms you might be violating, if it is what you WANT, you'll kill your own mother to get it nowadays. It really does make me wonder why bother? Is this truly the Age of Reason? The information age? Has the human race grown so little in the last thousand years? Boy, what a pathetic creature we are.
