#2: I hope you don't quit buying toilet paper.
#3: If we stopped buying all the useless crap we would have more money. This in turn will make the companies hungrier for that almighty dollar.
Thus, better gizmos for less. |

| | ... so i asked her for them and inside was the lost letters,
"...and that, I think, was the handle - -that sense of inevitable victory over the forces of Old and Evil. Not in any mean or military sense; we didn't need that. Our energy would simply prevail. We had all the momentum; we were riding the crest of a high and beautiful wave. So now, less than five years later, you can go up on a steep hill in Las Vegas and look West, and with the right kind of eyes you can almost see thehigh-water mark - that place where the wave finally broke and rolled back.
love Raoul Duke. "

| | Also pick up the Electric Kool-Aid Acid Test by Tom Wofle, that book chronicles the 'wave' that HST talks about in the quote above.
If haven't read Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas and seen the movie go do that now, that's where that quote is from. Raoul Duke: We are all wired into a survival trip now. No more of the speed that fueled that 60's. That was the fatal flaw in Tim Leary's trip. He crashed around America selling "consciousness expansion" without ever giving a thought to the grim meat-hook realities that were lying in wait for all the people who took him seriously... All those pathetically eager acid freaks who thought they could buy Peace and Understanding for three bucks a hit. But their loss and failure is ours too. What Leary took down with him was the central illusion of a whole life-style that he helped create... a generation of permanent cripples, failed seekers, who never understood the essential old-mystic fallacy of the Acid Culture: the desperate assumption that somebody... or at least some force - is tending the light at the end of the tunnel. |

| | Add a rant while I'm at it. | | I'm an American and I think the country is becoming a shit-hole. It isn't because of illegal immigrants, it isn't because kids are playing violent video games, it because a huge percentage of Americans are retarded and retarded people foster more retarded children and the cycle plays on ad-infinitum. I'm sure all of you have seen the TV shows where they go around on the street asking American's simple questions, who was the first president, how many stars on the American flag, how many continents on the Earth? Now I realize that these people may not use this knowledge on a day to day basis, but when we can't even remember how many giant masses of land are on a map or globe we've all seen hundreds of times they've just somehow managed to dodge natural selection long enough to meet you and confound you with their idiocy.
How many years old is the Earth?
If you said 6000 you're with about 27% of Americans, so God just made carbon dating to fool us and large dinosaurs we're around with Jesus or the Egyptians.
Millions of people who identify themselves as Christians believe that Jesus said God helps those who help themselves, which is completely contrary to his teachings. People want the Ten Commandments posted everywhere when they can't even recite all ten, and only three of them apply to actual laws, and some are ambiguous.
Our president looks like a monkey who never made it past middle school when he speaks publically but the majority of people still don't mind when he signs away more of your freedoms to fight 'the terrorists'
America used to be an example for the rest of the world now we're pompus, ignorant, self-centered masses mocked on all 3 continents. |
