So as you guys know (unless you've been living under a rock for the past 2 weeks)
this past weekend marked our 238th anniversary from liberation under the British (nothing against them though)
but anyway that's not what I wanted to post about. what I wanted to post was this;
I realized that all American holidays are based around, well (sorry for the bluntness in advance) sticking it to some new group of people.
before I go on let me state a few glaring examples
Valentines Day: a day where you can hug that special someone extra tight and if you don't have someone? well you can go fuck yourself (as most singles do on valentines day) and I mean seriously? that's almost worse than calling a black person the n-word. you are (directly or indirectly) effectively saying: 'you worthless piece of shit, you are going to die sad and alone, no one cares, no one remembers, eat shit and rot'.
OK next one:
Christmas: ohh I'm gonna have some fund (and no that's not a typo) with this
1st its basically a scam put on by big name companies and brands to con you into buying all this worthless crap and trying to return it the next day only to find that in your drunken buying spree/stupor you didn't read the "no returns on Christmas week" fine print bullshit that they expect us to swallow.
2nd even if you don't buy anything and just want to appreciate your family for the evening (personally I'd need about 2 quarts of Smirnoff just to get through a "family gathering") your still going to get conned if not by Wal-Mart then by some pedophile priest who feeds you some 3 hour sermon recording to bore you to sleep so he can go in the back and rape your son.
3rd even if all of the above doesn't happen (about a 5% chance of that happening) than this will:
family road trip, car breaks down, kids go nuts, wife wonders off into random town and bangs the first guy in sight, father grabs shotgun and kills wife and her one night stand, kids get sold so the dad can buy a few bottles of Jim Beam
Everyone lives happily ever after.
haha no chance motherfucker.
ok next holiday:
Easter: Bunny sales sky-rocket, animal shelters overflow with unwanted baby rabbits, plastic eggs litter floors, lawns and streets, kids get a sugar high for one night then and again all businesses turn hella profit leaving everyone else to clean up.
enough examples?
ok now lets get on,
now how do you fix this you might ask?
well activists and fanatics might start a boycott or maybe even a few riots (which you should participate in no matter what the cause)
now the average W.A.S.P.
would just turn a blind eye and bend over for anyone
and the average person (dumbass) would petition their congressman or senator or governor to stop deceitful marketing or some other idea that sounds good on paper but is ineffective. even if this person is sympathetic to your cause they will either be paid off, scared off or try and ultimately fail because they don't have the power to effect change, no one has this power.
to make this short none of these options will effect change because no one can fix it.
People have tried (both successfully and unsuccessfully) to take over just about every position of power and even thought their intentions start out good their are eventually overcome by greed or a power-high.
the truth is no one can fix anything with out causing ripples some day someone will take over the government (by election or force, most likely the latter and not the former) and will start and finish what others have triedn and failed.
the only solution is re
