Patriot Act and People

I sometimes question peoples motives. Not so much to society, but more to themselves. It's an odd thing in seeing people, especially in Californian popular society, do something that is for the benefit of the all, and not the self. Namely because the one who wins out is the one who proposed the idea in the first place. Like freeing up utilities.... Go Fig. I am getting really tired of helping people on the freeway, because the genuinely need help, only to be looked at like some leper colony escapee with a "magical skill" to fix cars or make the situation better. I help, I get feared, and I get leered at like I wasn't supposed to be nice and in fact supposed to eat thier children in front of them...remember being nice in California means your supposed to eat the children of those your nice to. I wonder if people really think that all people here are supposed to have some alterior motive to being considerate. But the point is, I haven't met many people outside of the military that are genuinely concerned about the world their children will grow up in. They seemed more focused on having kids then being drunk on more money from being inconsiderate (not rasing thier kids to be considerate). Greed and power with fear and prejudice seem to drive most people. I seriously don't want to have kids in this world.. espcially since I'm a leper colony escapee.

At any rate, this brings about the "Brave New World" were about to dawn upon; which I fequently question. It's not the Patriot Act that I wonder about... it's the inherent fear that people live with everyday. People have become so blunderously delerious with sedating themselves with their lifestyles that they would rather trade a few liberties and live under the illusion of "security" provided by those who know they are probably going to die, than to face up to the reality that they are greedy bastards and know that you just don't need that last bit of land/oil/late'/diamond to impress the hot shallow chic and have disgustingly wealthy kids with. This Patriot Act which I throughly support, though I understand it will take civil liberties away from certain peoples and allows for people to be investigated and judged on circumstancial evidence or if they piss off the wrong people, is something that limits the free thought movement. Yet it is only when we have these limitations of our intrinsic abilities that most of the general populous begins to gel with innovation; both in mind and in industry. We only know what we have as a demoacracy when we have it challenged. And when we become slaves to our own vices brought about by laziness and sedation of the mind, we need a swift kick in the head to remind us that we are a peoples buit on a collective individualism that learns to respect each others uniqueness and drives to understand and teach that.

I don't see that in the "modern world" outside of the military hierarcy. I see: "Where's my coke, beemer, and late'!". Or: "Goddamit people, I'm late for work.. none of you loosers make the money I make, therfore you should go back to you minimum wage jobs and leave the freeways open for people like me!" Or: "Why should I care about the past.. it's not like it's important." And the ever so popular: "Like, I don't know why I should care about some dumpy people in some dirty place that don't belive in God." This is the modern world that is being built by those who have suffered so much. They created a land of opportunity that their entitiled children are often too blind and dumb to see. And they will leech off it till they bleed the system dry, until another Patriot Act takes away their rights forcing them to rething their exhistance, or an immigrant who knows how the system works and works hard to make a place for himself in this Great Democracy thus taking opportunity away from the vally girl/guy. If the system ever gets bled dry, we'll have a bigger problem to face than a Patriot Act.

There are shining examples that always rise above the norm that I usually see. Some are my friends. Some are my sworn enimies, both in life and through my alliegiance to the State. Some are just some randoms from a faraway land. Yet these people commonly belive in learning, tolerance, work, and faith in their own way. Subdue any of those qualities, and you have...well.. modern sedated society. These examples I speak of just want to make the world a better place, while enjoying their version of a late' as long as it dosen't kill someone...mostly.

In theory, some could argue that the Patriot Act is bleeding the system dry. Then if it is, think about who you should vote for. But think clearly and think long because in the end, which is more important?: Your freedom to have you late' but not question the president or Your late' and wonder if you're going to see a plane blow up. Remember that the Patriot Act wasn't made up just for you. But What do I know? I'm just a leper escapee with "magic powers".
