Winter 2008: The Rise of the Machines or Rollerball 75

Current mood: examinate
Category: Life

I think back to my blog "40 Years is Enough," and realize that our society is in a lot of trouble. Not because of overpopulation and stupidity...well, perhaps stupidity, but economic conditions that will lead to our demise. A Harvey Dent coin which only offers a Joker pencil result.

And this all came to be when I saw that "Hubba Bubba" now owns "Squeeze Pop."

BubbleYum's "Hershey Chocolate Flavored Gum." Circle K taking over Peoria thus destroying the whimsy of "Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure". AC/DC and Walmart making us wonder why we just don't lock certain people out of recording studios.

Hoopastank has a top 30 track? Trapt is coming back? Curse 105.7 the X yet again.

If LA Loyd doesn't have anything good to say, then tell Anna not to air the Rock 30 (especially when Wes of Puddle of Mud thinks he has something worthwhile to say). When Saturday is over, she probably wants to sleep in anyway after getting drunk enough to settle on guys that wear Rivermen jerseys instead of actual Rivermen players.

Peoria Radio, another example of creepy corporations. How often do they choose to change 98.5's format?
Mix to Oldies.
Oldies to Party.
Party to music devoted to those weird people with fish on their car trunks.
Christian to Ghetto.

It's not a good example of capitalism if it is promoting the fundamentally wrong, or it as confused as those who try to leave their niche like most fast food places. How far away are we from Red Lobster/Steak 'n Shakes?

It was Hoover (the scapegoat not the trani) who said, "the worse thing about capitalism is the capitalist." The greedy Cheneys (clever avoidance of profanity eh?) who want nothing more than to forget about the common man until they need to find a new insecure public to tag along with them.

Dare I say we will have a "Baseketball" world which will lead to death sports. And probably bad combination sports like Hockey and Curling.

Actually, that sound like a reasonable combo. Could you imagine people checking each other with brooms and the less than exciting shootouts? Like a goalie can't block a stone. Shenanigans.

Of course, we have to go through the inevitable corporate wars before we get to James Caan's "Rollerball" (screw Chris Klein, you take enough work away from the "Rookie of the Year"). These have been foreseen in great films like "Cyborg 2", "Tank Girl", and "Jason X."

And as one corporate entity will end up controlling all the consumption, they will in turn say, "40 years is too much," unless you go to face the bugs that attacked Buenos Aires.

Perhaps capitalism has been abused to the point where it can't turn society around. Society may need socialism. Everyone may need a peace of the wealth that needs to be redistributed.

I speak of the wealth of the Southern California Douchebags:
- Paris and Cathy Hilton
- Tinkerbell (the chihuahua. Anyone who owns a border jump'n dog needs to be taxed extra)
- The Kardashians
- Any lawyer/agent
- Wide receivers
- Any one who has been in a debutante vag
- Kevin Federline (let Brad and Angelina take care of the boys)

Everyone just needs to live well enough, and we'd eventually get back into a saving mode. A saving mode that will include letting military decisions be made by objective computers.

Damn it. I'm getting impatient. I'm ready for the war with the "Bloodrayne" Chick and Robert Patrick. Step your game up Skynet.

So left on it's own, I think society is Cheneyed. Personally, I think capitalism is ideal for the freedom it allows.

You should be who you want to be, as long as you earned how you pay for it. Or if your an heiress, don't be a runt.

Sadly, I don't see the abusers being removed from the equation, thus I still fear having to choose between Weyland-Yutani, Hubba-Pop, and the Obama backed NFC (or maybe the K in KFC will be changed to Kools). So I guess we need socialism or an unearthly force to set things right.

Perhaps Scientology is the answer. Let's pay the Aliens to fix things.

I should break my fingers so I don't write statements that treat ink like piss.
On the other hand, I'll wait for socialized health before I do something that stupid.
