We have to fix what's wrong, but keep what's good and right.
There is ALWAYS a tipping point when people become overly oppressed. People just don't feel overly oppressed yet in America, and many treat their TVs like oxygen, inhaling the propaganda like it's life support.
Many people are so isolated in this nation, and TV gives them comfort, so they trust whatever spews out of their favorite newsreader/PR person's piehole. And they shop dutifully for the products advertised and hate whom they are told to hate.
"HIPP-MOE-TIZED" as we would say in our family.
But young people aren't TV addicts like their parents and grandparents. They're internet addicts. And the internet doesn't give a fuck who you are. Justice is meted out harshly here, sometimes unfairly once the facts are known.
Look at hackers and others who reach tipping points and go after businesses and government agencies.
At some point, there will be an egregious event or set of events that the majority can agree cannot be tolerated. And it may be very ugly.
My hope is that young people will start a new party, take over Congress and set things right without any bloodshed or turmoil.
They just don't trust the new Democrats, who buddy up the corporations, the same Big Pharm, Big Ag, Kochsucking, War on Drugs Dogma that Republicans all-out fellate. For dough.
Kids won't hold their noses and compromise the way older people will, and you can't penetrate the New Democratic Party - in the South and in rural areas, if not in the cities - unless you look, act and talk like a conservative.
That's why I hope the kids start a new party.
