Well,Well... For once I'm actually agreeing with you on something...it feels weird.Heres the thing...I think a great majority of people recognize this horrible travesty of the human condition and either choose to ignore it or feel too impotent to react.
I'm curious to hear what you're solution is to the problem.
Personally I think a great cataclysm or some other such devastation followed by revolution or rennesaince (or both) is the only real answer. Nowadays you need kick someone extremely hard in the genitals to get their attention.
Until then people will continue to be flesh puppets with their heads stuck deep inside the machine, following their false god of commercialism like zombies on acid.
I'm sorry but I was in a very "trendy" part of minneapolis this weekend and I saw the way the "individuals" and "alternatives" could all be classified and stored away like canned peas and carrots. Conformity is rampant at every level. I very rarely meet someone who hasn't been poisoned completely by the whores of advertising and religion. Everything is sales and production these days. From marilyn manson(todays alice cooper) to the armed forces. "be all you can be-you fucking robots" thats what they are saying.
I too am guilty. If you saw me on the street you would think there goes another joe average, semi-preppy, work-a-day goon. I choose my clothing for comfort and simple style-I havent the time to try to be outrageous or extreme- But I choose my words and actions from a belief system of objectivism and individual freedom. Once engaged in a conversation people seem to be taken aback. I'm not what they expected. It's kind of cool. I feel like "stealth-shaman" or something delivering great doses of reality and unabashed critical thought to the unexpecting!!!!
Its fun...try it.
Btw-I saw you refer to Bill hicks in an earlier post. I've been desperately seeking his material but cannot find it...Any Ideas?
