The Impossibility Of Reason

That's supposed to be Hell is the impossibility of reason, a line from Oliver Stone's Platoon but, let's not be so dramatic. It's Topixtown, Ferrerman....

I write a bit about Topixtown because, if you're paying attention, it is often quite life-like. Quite real life-like. Just like imaginary people want to win Topix and will pull out all the stops to do so, so goes the  people on real life.

I sometimes think that the problem with planet earth is that the real leaders have discovered that there is no God. This means there is no heaven and no Hell. Since there is no higher power and a promise of heaven with a threat of hell to hold you accountable, you can grab all the gusto in life that you can because, nope, you can't take it with you so, do whatever you can get away with to have it all, right here- right now.

I'm not burdened by religion. And I'm not saying that you and others should be. I'm saying there's no way anybody in government or the media really is a believer. Really now- would you want anybody who believes in fairy tales controlling the world? It's perfectly fine to control your own world with religious fairy tales and politicians will always understand that religion is the opiate of the masses and use that to their benefit because it is the easy way to keep people from rioting in the streets while having sex with  animals THUS not getting any work done.

That is what it's all about; getting things done. We should worship Larry the Cable Guy. Keystone Pipeline a danger to the environment? Fuck that water supply/environment! There's money to be made selling gasoline to China! Get 'er done!

See, if you put it that way, it makes as much sense as It's God's will...

It really doesn't matter, in the whole spectrum of life, if you poisoned the Ogalala Aquifer in your greed. There's no God to care and the Senators said it was OK so, there you go. You and your rich buddies have plenty of water and that's what counts. The same goes for school lunches for poor kids and, while we're at, cutting welfare for the little bastards so they can't eat at home either. Do they wanna go all Les Miserables and steal some food? Well, somebodies good friend owns a taxpayer backed private prison. That'll learn 'em since public schools have been defunded and they can't afford private schools...

Well, you get my drift. The powers that be, having figured it all out, know that no God will judge them for an eternity so, heaven knows- anything goes! The religious lip service is still essential but, if the masses gave that any serious thought, they'd be in the streets with pitchforks and torches until they seized power. Well, the one's that could keep their hands off of the  animals, that is.

Oh- the Topix connection? In this respect, it's just like real life. The chicken fuckers are in control.

Goddamn them!

Oh- the irony of that...
