"Do
you want to disable tracking"? Does a bear shit in the woods? But, I have
no choice. Of this I am certain. (can I "like" the idea though?) I
tend to be a bit of a conspiracy theorist. In fact, any minority that isn't I
admit I view with a bit of apprehension, dismay and perhaps disdain. A minority
friend recently said to me that getting involved in thoughts of conspiracy are
pointless because it
doesn't matter how much you think about it because there is nothing to you can
do about it. I think this is in itself a conspiration of silence in which we
are encouraged to participate. If those in power can convince you to say
nothing about the moderately-to-obviously questionable then they can convince a
person to simply agree on the mild, but deadly offenses one sees everyday. Shit
is shoveled into our faces daily and we digest it—in every sense of the word—
simply (in our metaphorical stomachs, our brains, and on social media) as long
as the cookies we get after our blood is drawn is made with splenda (like)
because we have can always say we've swallowed worse. I strive to simply not
learn to tolerate the taste, even if it's sugar loaded and sprinkled with
government-issued crack (like). Perhaps I have spit it out on others once too
often. But, even regurgitated I sadly predict that most will swallow it in my
stead like malnourished chicks. To not think of conspiracies that may exist
simply because its easier to do so or for fear of sounding crazy DETERMINES
that you can and will do nothing about them... ever. Count on it: Those in
power do. Prophecy fulfilled. The bear has taken the diarrhetic and is headed
into the woods. Also, while typing this "facebook" pops up as a typo
until I capitalized the "F". (like). Fuck it if I'm the only
non-crazy one around... I understand and accept exactly what that means. That
you think I don't makes YOU crazy. (like) Now, if you'll excuses me, I have to
finish chopping this tree down in the forest... and I spit that fucking pill
out.
I can completely understand that the reaction of many to what I have to say may make me sound like a turncoat, but "We need to talk about Kevin". But several facebook friends posted this and I had to get in on this. for those who haven't read this hilariously brave review (Chicagoans is crazy about Chicago!) see below. http://www.nytimes.com/2013/04/21/books/review/the-third-coast-by-thomas-dyja-and-more.html?pagewanted=all&_r=0 Interesting read. I wanted to comment on this because the jingoism associated with the "BLUE-COLLAR type of town" mentality is simply no longer true, belies our citizens' (righteous, in my opinion) own cries of inequality, and the evidence supported by the empirically measured migration rate and anecdotal listing as a city only less miserable than Flint, Detroit and Rockford (GODDAMN!) Chicago has a history of deep deep segregation, isolation, nepotism, cronyism and political/slanted rhetoric (where "Windy" comes...
