A breakthrough

I've finally unraveled this whole government conspiracy. See, the government got in bed with all the oil companies, the fast food companies, and the pharmaceutical companies and came up with their plan to take over the world. First, they work with the oil companies to get America addicted to oil. That way, anyone with a car would rather sacrifice some rights so that the government can intervene and keep prices down. This controls the rich population with all their gas-guzzlers and fuck you mobiles. Next, they work with the fast food companies to make the food as fattening and unhealthy as possible, making the poor that have to eat at McDonalds so damn fat and unmotivated that they will only sit around and complain without actually doing anything. This controls all the poor people. Finally, they get pharmaceutical companies to convince anyone who has ever felt sad that they need Zoloft, thus making them so numb that they won't care about whats going on in the world. This controls the middle class that wishes they were rich. They have now effectively controlled the entire American population, and are now free to roam about the world with utter impunity.


Ok, all of that was a joke, but this is completely serious- War is evil. Why are we sending millions of our troops over to the middle east under false pretenses, so they can spread a democracy that we can barely keep together? These are peoples lives that are being ruined, families being torn apart and homes being wrecked. Why can't we redirect all that effort into something positive, somethign productive? Look at these fires that are ravaging California, why can't we spend half as much money into fighting those? We're just going along with the rule of entropy really, and accelerating this worlds decay into a state of disorder. It is only the real heroes of our time that work to slow this down, even to reverse it. We need more of them, and I can only hope to become one of them when I start working.
