it's my birthday today. im fourteen years old. yay. 

 
what this country needs is reality. 
----------------------------------- 

i turn on the tv. i see talk shows. all talk shows (except geraldo) all 
cover the same subject: love. with topics like "my brother fucked my gay 
spouse" or something like that. it's annoying as hell. ricki lake is the 
worst. once you get them "90's girls" talking, there's no stopping. the 
show always ends up pointless. w00ps. another fucking hour wasted, more 
electricity wasted. owell. i know! LETS WATCH MTV!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 

yay. mtv sucks. they hire people because they can act like they give a shit 
about the music they play. and then there's more pointless shows like "the 
real world". 
you know, if you wanted to see 'the real world', get your sweaty brown 
ass off the couch and go outside! tv is no substitute. 

i'm not even going into the deal about how the country deals with modems 
and the internet. it's been bashed and promoted so much that it's not even 
worth arguing about anymore. 

then there's the communications decency act thing. fuck it. that's my 
opinion. fuck it. i don't care. 

 
what this country needs is less 'free press' shit arguing. 
---------------------------------------------------------- 

a 'free press' suggests that all opinions are welcome. they ARE. normally, 
the newsmedia reports the prevailing opinion in america. if they dont 
report what someone likes, they argue. "AMERICA IS RUNOVER BY COMMUNISTS! 
THERES NO FREE PRESS ANYMORE!" bullshit. yes, many news services are 
bought, but most aren't. most just go with the bandwagon with the most 
people on it. 

 
what this country needs is more money. 
-------------------------------------- 

money is the source of many problems here. want to know what's ironic? all 
those problems, everyone thinks they can be solved with MORE money. great, 
huh? so now, our money goes to causes that wouldn't BE there if we'd had 
the money to spend in the first place. everyone wants money. 

there are ways to solve this. america has adopted a great way to make money 
from nothing: computer programs. it's a growing industry in the world. 
compaines like microsoft and ibm are huge and are very rich. its a great 
example of creating wealth. 

however, america is dependent on other country for computer parts, which 
is a tremendous problem. 

 
what this country needs is *less* anti-trust law. 
------------------------------------------------- 

yes, i said LESS. they're fucking up things and not doing any help. 
why exactly did bell have to break up? from stories ive heard, we pay 
more now than we did. 

why don't they help? here's an example: my local phone company can be 
argued as a monopoly. i could take it to court. they would say, "well, 
you're free to use another local company." you sure are. well, what's the 
problem? THERE ARE NO OTHER LOCAL COMPANIES. "well, that's not THEIR 
fault." 

ticketmaster is another example. you can use a different service, but you 
won't get the same range of bands. 

this pearl jam thing irks me. they're not LOSING any money by going to 
ticketmaster. believe me, a PJ show would sell out, no matter how much the 
damn tickets are.  

 
what this country needs is less corrupt values. 
----------------------------------------------- 

a recent survey polled thousands of new lawyers. as you know, america leads 
the world in production of new lawyers by a ratio of three to one to the 
next largest producer. 

72.5% polled think being a lawyer is WHAT AMERICA NEEDS. 
*95.9%* think what they're doing is right. defending people. 
53% say that the immense amount of money a lawyer makes swayed them into 
that profession in one way or another. 

now, that's great. i guess lawyers don't have to worry about other 
countries taking over our raw wealth, they can just SUE THEM! I'M SO GLAD 
WE HAVE AMERICAS LAWYERS! NOW WE'RE SAFE! 

well, i hope you enjoyed this. i didn't. erwait, maybe i did.
