OK well here we go. It has become obvious to me that the general public ( present company excluded ) has become a bunch of brainless "Sheeple" (sheep+people=Sheeple). Now believe me, this is not only based on some of the brainless nonsense that we all see on TV but it is also based on the Sheeple that I see on a daily basis at Six Flags Tragic Mountain, which by the way is a great place for anyone to truly study people.
We see things on TV such as ads for products like that "nifty" little cooking pot that has a strainer built into the lid. when the commercial starts off you see some lady trying to pour spaghetti into a strainer and of course she struggles with it and spills it everywhere and the announcer says "oh my god, what a messy hassle". Can any of you see what I'm talking about? If not then let me give you another example.
I will be taking a break at work and I'll be standing out in front of our operation at Six Flags, and I'll just watch the people going moving by. People that have arrived at the park, got out of their car (leaving their brain on the dashboard to get toasted even more), go buy a ticket, enter the park, buy them selves a funnel cake (deep fried pancake batter (and they wonder why American’s are so fat)), and then proceed onward. As soon as they get in they turn into a 1 year old. They will walk in and start looking up at the rides (Oh look, a tall roller coaster) and I kid you not I have seen them walk right into light poles, trip over others, land in trash cans, fall in the flower beds, and yes, fall over a fence and roll down a hill.
Makes you think a bit huh? Well I hope so. I swear to god, if something was to happen like every single cell phone in the nation was to stop working, we would have to declare Marshal law cause everyone would be in a panic. It seems that the new keywords now is "make life easier". And I am all for that but when you have become so reliant on modern technology that if something was to happen where you can't go to a store to buy food, will you starve? If Mc Donald’s started serving coffee that is 190 degrees again, will you burn yourself? If the Internet quit working, will you know how to order a pizza? Well you might, but I'll bet that all these other pansy asses that rely on the internet or a cell phone so much that if those where to stop working they wouldn't know what on earth to do would lose it.
Here is another thing. On September 11, we lost allot of good men and women to terrorism. Some little dipshit that has way to much power for his own good sent out his little band of Sheeple to kill allot of brave men and women.
A few weeks after that happened I was at work and talking to some of my co-workers and one of them (a tree hugger, a nice as hell guy but still, he's a tree hugger) said to me, "I don't understand why we need to go to Afghanistan and go get this guy". Yes, he really said that. Well Ladies and gents, if ever you hear some one like this say something to the affect that we shouldn't go to war with Bin Laden or Iraq, I have the perfect response to that. Say to them this "OK, I want you to stand still for a second while I take a 2X4 and smack it across your face. Now once you have recovered and gotten up, what are you going to do about that?". See what they say.
Well that is enough for now. 73's. Dave
