Honestly, I feel like I'm beyond being pissed off. After watching the multitudes roll up their sleeves and line up for the death-jab back in ... What was it, 2021? ... I have come to the conclusion that the whole damn system is rotten to the core and most people are perfectly content with that. My own son told me, when I asked him to think for himself, "I don't need to think for myself." 

OK...

A mantra of mine of late is George Carlin's statement about the One Big Club. I probably repeat that my wife 4 or 5 times a week. Even she is still trying to have some level of faith in the system.



I have come to think of the jabs as an example of what I call "unnatural selection." Just as natural selection thins out the herd by eliminating the weak, I figure unnatural selection does that by eliminating the stupid, the simple-minded. I do feel for people who took it because they felt that they had no choice in order to keep feeding their family as I was not in a position where I had to make that choice, but for anybody who rolled up their sleeve and lined up willingly and is now suffering from the effects, I have no sympathy; nothing but disdain. 

I feel like I am watching the final acts of a tragicomedy and I'm running out of popcorn. 

No, I'm not pissed off anymore. I'm just wishing the show would just wrap up. I don't even know what that'd mean, but I don't really care.
