When I feel it all slipping away it just makes me want to cry

I am firmly opposed to everything. And nothing. I have no position on the burning issues of the day. My apathy is all-consuming. I just don't care anymore. More accurately I never did. I am lucky I wasn't of age in the 60s. People would have called me square and slipped acid into my beer.
Well, there are a couple things that concern me. I have grown quite accustomed to living indoors. Al fresco life doesn't appeal to me. Eating food is good as well. I don't want to subsist on a steady diet of nothing like Kate Moss, of whom the only good thing AmyIAnnoying.com could come up with is that she doesn't take up much space. And I dig being warm. And with natural gas prices predicted to double overnight, I am bracing for some hard times ahead.
So we embarked on our new econo-life, out first attempt to curtail our out of control spending. Previously we ran our household like it was headed by supply-side economists: If you need more stuff then pour more money into the mix. But with this new heating bugaboo, that just isn't possible.
I drew up a list of savings measures: Microwave lunches, carton cigarettes, box wine, fill up both cars with bargain gas that is 20% ethanol, only home ATM, suicide etc. I went on e-surance.com and realized a $150 a month savings. I canceled my current credit card and got one from Capital One that only charges $6 per thousand balance and no killer late fees.
I wanted to make sure nothing else got billed to the old card. So I told my son to change all of his online accounts to Capital One. When he got to Amazon, he couldn't figure out how to change the billing unless we bought something. I perused the site looking for a cheap paperback. For $9.95 plus shipping you could have this book.
It arrived Frday and I've been mesmerized ever since. I might miss my Redskins pounding the hapless 49ers as I glumly turn the pages. I am telling you that this child-molester-defending, abortion-mongering, bestiality-loving, Boy Scout-bating, tradition-hating, anti-everything, contrary bunch of smartasses is dead-set on destroying out whole society and replacing it with some namby-pamby, diversity-tolerant piece of shit life. And they aren't tolerant either. They are only tolerant of their own twisted, sick point of view. The ACLU is like a virulent cancer growing in a patient who is trapped in a hospital where all the doctors are on strike.
Sure, we're all going to die. But first, could somebody else post?

There seems to be a heavy anti-Christian flow to the excerpt, and if I wanted to stir things up State-side, that's probably where I'd start to. I love the idea that a small group of elitists are dictating the path of the majority of citizens in America. S'like: I'm a selfish consumer who cares more about the model of my car than the lives of my next door neighbours. But hey, it ain't my fault I'm this way... those damned "affluent, Harvard-educated Bostonians" carrying the torch of grandpa's "iconoclastic non-conformist anti-Christian crusading ideals"... they're to blame.
It's very Hollywood. ;)

Hey I have that Tattoed on my back
iconoclastic non-conformist anti-Christian crusader
Its usually a great ice-breaker at parties.

Elitist is the word. These guys really believe they know what's best for people they've never met and never would meet in their walk of life.
What does "iconoclastic" mean?
Tattoo you.

Here's what Merrian Webster says:
1 : one who destroys religious images or opposes their veneration
2 : one who attacks settled beliefs or institutions
from Middle Greek eikonoklastEs, literally, image destroyer.
Maybe I'll get image destroyer tattoed on my fists.

I try not to educate myself on more than two issues at a time. Then I talk about those two issues and don't give comments on anything else. A few months ago someone tried to get me to take a position on a White House scandal and I told him I didn't have any thoughts about it. He was mad.
Currently I've got: 1) It is better to like the White Sox than the Cubs despite their American League championship, and 2) I believe that my car needs to be waxed. A few months ago I also had "Umberto Eco sucks". I don't mind talking about that one still.

All I can add is that you all should spring for this book and find out what these guys are really up to. And Jean that is so cool, you don't come across as a know-it-all that way.

Wanna hear a joke about the Aristocrats?
I saw it in a movie once.
by Long Time Lurker at October 24, 2005 9:38 PM
That is one movie I had no desire to see. The same joke told over and over by old school comics? I'd rather listen to a tape of Bushisms. Today's is "We cannot allow our nation to be held hostile by terrorists. We cannot allow our allies to be held hostile by terrorists." What allies?
