all it takes is a trip to the post office and i once again lose faith in mankind-----------------nothing but old people, and fucking stupid people---------------being that this is christmas i got to stand in line for a few minutes. this was vexing at first but the  i started to take in my surroundings and realised i was in the middle of the biggest impulse buy section i have ever seen. here in canada every 'shopper drugmart' has a post office in the back, so i looked up and down this bullshit aisle, from one useless, synthetic fabrication to the next and was saddened by the realisation the we, humans of the industrialised world, have become shadows of our former selves. we have become a society of hapless morons, getting fatter by the day on lab grown psynthofood. we live in a world where an already overworked healthcare system is weighed down to breaking point by fat, lazy sufferers of self inflicted injuries. we smoke, eat, fuck, sleep and commute through poisoned air and rally together to protest the state of a world we have created for ourselves.
we relish every opportunity to upgrade to the next level of pointlesness suggested and provided by a marketing machine gone mad. whole industries dedicated to the creation, construction and distribution of products we niether need nor want.
we absorbe television, movies, magazines and books aimed at systematically breaking down our resistance to change.
gay marraige, presidential infidelity, lesbian pregnancy and michael richards' use of the N word dominate the news. all the while people die, governments lie and we do nothing.
