America in distress

Who doesn't like freedom these days? I say everybody likes it, except for the American government. I used to despise the ACLU, but now I truly believe it exists for the benefit of America. Faster than i'd ever expected, the face of America is changing. In the name of national security and patriotism, freedoms are being lost all the time. Martial law is slowly taking over as well. All facets of the government which we look up to for support and assistance is now turning their backs on us. The worst thing about all this is that we as individuals are powerless.

It is important that people stand together. After all it is for the people that this government exists in the first place. When will that last straw break the camels back? When will the American people say enough is enough? We can learn a great deal from the recent French lower classmen and minority immigrants who caused a riotous uproar. We need that same energy, the energy that can lead to a revolt. And when that day comes I will happily do whatever I can to do my part. Maybe I won't lead a revolt, but then again, maybe I will...but in either case I will know that I am contributing for the betterment of the country. It is for country, for liberty, for freedom. And no government nor dictator president nor any servant of the law can stop us.

An upside down American flag is generally a sign of distress. More Americans are raising their U.S. flags upside on their own private lands to reflect this sad state of affairs and being threatened by authorities for it. Rage Against the Machine is a popular rap-metal band, explicitly critical of U.S. power and capitalist rule. Former Soviet Union leader Mikhail Gorbachav voices concerns that the U.S. is creating an unstable and dangerous world. Recent headline reports reveal $20-30 billion dollars of military arms will be finding its way to Saudi Arabia, where it will again arm the enemies that righfully hate us. Rage Against the Machine is something I started to listen to again after having it in my collection for many years. I've resurrected their songs into my cerebral canals so that I may listen to their beautiful words, once again.

High five margaritas!

What a crazy title, eh? MD Anderson is huge. Feels like I'm walking in a science fiction movie - a cross between Minority Report and IRobot. I misread a sign that read "To Mays Clinic" as "The Mayo Clinic". Lol I'm such a idgiot lol. I walk to and from work every day. It takes 15 minutes walking through the surreal streets of this neighborhood region full of city highrise buildings plated with gold. And I'm loving it. Nothing like a walk in the morning and in the evening. But I don't walk faster than man was designed to, because I refuse to walk briskly. It is surreal because there are pedestrians in scrub uniforms making six digit figures walking around with street hobo homelesses making single digit figures. Homeless, but seemingly well-fed nonetheless. But a single division at MDA rakes in three million greenbacks in a single day. Ain't that stunning? Now i don't feel bad at all that almost all consulants choose to drive their own rental car and reside in the best luxury hotel at the company's expense. Bring on that jumbo lobster tail and bring on that valet parking! No, I don't live like that for I was raised better than that. Hoo yeah! Now I write massive run-on sentences because I drank the most potent margarita in this part of the free world. Hoo yeah!
