Rapidly Losing Faith In Mankind

Never in all my years have I seen the super slide of stupidity that has happened world wide this week. Mind you, most of the idiocy was right here at home, but still some scorn should go for the douchebags globally as well.

Here, we have the worst political system ever. Unlike anywhere else, we have near non stop campaigns being run, meaning, if you're lucky, six months our of any given four year period may be blessedly absent of annoying political advertising. But now here comes another pointless election where the pundits will scream endlessly about whatever nonsense trifle has ruffled their feathers, riling the masses for no good reason other than they can. Can we all come together and realize that BOTH the republicans and democrats are a bunch of worthless monkey farts that should have blown away in the wind years ago. And Tea Party morons: Shut the hell up. You're the new brownshirts. If I wanted corporate America to take over, I'd vote Republican Tea Party every time and watch my standard of living disappear. Then I plan on taking a shovel to your head for getting us into this mess. Wake up people. Things are not getting better.

Unemployment is down you say? Only it isn't. The Obama administration has been horrible at reporting anything resembling reality. Statistician John Williams, whose work should be read by anyone wanting to see HOW the government manipulates these figures, is aghast at the latest numbers. Using shadow figures and made up nonsense the US actually lost 38,000 jobs last months, not a net gain of 240,000. But the way they are tabulated the figures are artificially inflated. Worse, the jobs that are being created nowadays suck and suck hard. If crappy pay is your bread and butter then look out for working in the hospitality or service industries where you will not make a living.

Then we have the wars of which I have to say to the world "I give up." What is happening in Libya is beyond the pale. Can no one figure out a way to help the rebels? Not that hard really. They need tech and logistical support which could be done with a very small amount of manpower, particularly CIA and Seal teams. Using stealth, key targets could be lasered for elimination and the rebels could win. But for some unknown reason, no one has mentioned this. Everything is big with armies invading and no fly zones. It's as if no one has ever studied military warfare before. This is not rocket science. What this leads is to my inevitable conclusion I have had for some time: Either we as a species are incompetent boobs or some evil masterminds are pulling the strings. There is no in between. Either we can't make rational decisions or we don't want to. I am still unsure but either way the end result is the same.

We're screwed.
