09/23/04 Waco Texas... Cultural wasteland

I love writing these Blogs. there is something liberating about it. Perhaps it's knowing that there is always a chance that you might pique someone's interest. And Cajole them into offering some kind of discourse (intelligent or otherwise) that is different from your own.

Well,today I got my first hit from someone other than a friend or family memeber. It was short, and full of The kind of slack jawed ingnorance We've all come to expect from Bushies that live in the Grand Republic of Texas.

This young fellow, all of 21 years of age, felt the need to expell his mental urine on a post of mine. Not to attack content in any specific way, just the whole blogger in general.

Now at 21 I realize that the world is a scary place. Hell, you've barely been off Momma's tit, and now yer thrust into the real world. Naked as a Jay Bird, and confused by the concept of "rent."

Question, My little Bushie, What has conservative politics done for you lately? Has it made healthcare more affordable? How about education? Have the tax cuts lined your pockets? Do you really feel safer? Huh? Does the Visqueen plastic sheeting and duct tape keep the boogie man away? Do you really want to be lead by a man who has trouble with those tricky language devices like metaphors and similies? (not too mention verb tense, articles, context, subtext etc.)

Are you happy that companies like Haliburton are making money off of the backs of soldiers? That The vice president is making his buddies rich? That children are coming back from Iraq, Smashed into pieces, for something most of the world sees as a crime? You,my friend, are being lied to. Worst of all, you're the one being played like a sucker. If Brains were dynamite, you wouldn't have enough to blow your nose.

But, it's easy to take shots, from Cozy little Waco. Speaking of which, what a culturally arid little crap hole. The only thing interesting about Waco, is that a fucked up dude Named Vern, Who wanted to be called David, got a bunch of people to believe that he was the second coming of Jesus, and got some group sex out of it, and that ended with a dust pan and a lot of shame.

Too bad really!!!
