Why?
Why should I listen to a bunch of overpaid hypocrites lecture me on how to save the planet from global warming? A bunch of people that didn't fly commercial to the gigs around the planet for the Live Earth concerts (using god only knows how much gas and releasing ozone depleting chemicals into the atmosphere.) A bunch of people who's best collective idea was to use new, energy efficient light bulbs. I read that if the millions of people who watched the concerts (on TV and the Internet, using untold amounts of electricity) planted a tree every year on the anniversary of the day, soon the planet would have a much better climate due to the natural living processes of the trees planted. And besides, are the people that predict global warming any better than the morons that predict my 7-day forecast? Why should I listen to that shit.
Why is it Americans (and especially southerners) are the only ones held accountable and pilloried for the act of slavery when at the time it was a world-wide problem? Oh, and did I mention it's been outlawed for at least 45 years that I know of. (That's the span of my lifetime, I can't speak intelligently about anything that happened before I was born. God bless the American education system!) Why are we always looking to the past to assign blame for previous generation's wrongs instead of looking to the future and trying to make it the best one it can be.
Why am I getting offers for credit cards several times a week? Where were these altruistic lenders and good guys when I was so poor I had to choose between beer and food? And if they want to give me a $300 credit limit but charge my credit card with $150 of fees, what's the fucking point? Who do they think they're dealing with? An inbred dummy? Oh, wait ... yeah, they do.
Why am I taking meds costing $250 per month to stay alive and healthy, some of which are supposed to stop me from being so pissed off all the time, and yet, I'm still pissed off all the time? I guess I should just be happy that I'm healthy, but sometimes even that pisses me off.
Why?

ok, on the slavery thing....you made a synapse fire...so bear with me...
i have this friend from ghana, her dad is a chief in one of the dominant ethnic groups. she carries herself with this regal bearing. i saw her get into it with an african american who was giving her a hard time for being from a third world country....kind of 'who are you to me and why should i have any respect for you from some poor ass country?' my friend held her head up and said, 'who do you think it was that sold your people to the slave traders in the first place, but MY people.' WHOA! that was an eye opener.
ok, well, anyway...a lot of this stuff is the kind of stuff that pisses normal people off if they think about it for more than 5 seconds. well, except that being happy bit...who gets pissed off about being happy. love ya anyway big guy.

You know I love ya... but now that you have no bad habits, you can spend your time being pissed off about all this shit. Your bad habits kept you from thinking about stuff like this (and making wonderful cheesecakes instead). Ain't it a bitch?
