It’s 2011. The world is changing right before our eyes. Revolutions. Revolutions. Yea, you know…those people in Libya, Egypt, and even right here in the land of the statue of liberty. Those big people are beating the little people, but the little people won’t stand the hurting anymore. Oh, I heard those nice shoes that I really wanted are finally coming out—Wait, did you say oppression? What oppression? We’re not oppressed. Things are never easy, that’s why we blow the smoke when we feel stressed. I mean… so what if the government is the biggest gang? It’s all a misunderstanding, they really don’t mean to hurt innocent people, I swear. It says “In God we Trust” on their money, doesn’t it? (…As for the validity of God’s kindness, I’ve referenced the entire bible in my footnotes.)
Ok wait a minute. Who said America was the only bully on the playground? It’s not just America. All those who’ve ever stood up for anything anywhere got hurt in some way or another by those big powerful people. So let’s face it: we, the generation of today, have the NBA, nice tumblr blogs, Justin Beiber, Fox News, Ebay and Real Housewife of Jersey Shore to distract us from all the pain that’s going on around the world.
I don’t want to talk all that Martin Luther King stuff, but I’m all for peace, justice and love…and drugs—wait, but they tell us drugs are bad, right? Well, if they tell us to moderate the pleasure, why can’t they moderate the pain?
