I don’t blame any of you for not seeing it. We are all spoon fed the priorities of the individual and distracted from ever looking at the bigger picture.
Sure, from time to time we see glimpses of urgent or impactful issues, but then they too get swept under the rug by the newest celebrity gossip.
It’s not even entirely our fault that it happened. It didn’t change over night. No, this was a systemic cultural evolution that fed off the only principle that has ever mattered in this country. Capitalism, or if you want to be blunt, where’s the money?
I could sit here for hours and argue with everyone about how government is corrupted, with wealthy senators lobbying and jockeying for power (all the while nothing real gets accomplished) or explain how for all the good the Occupy Movement could have been, it became a lightning rod in the hands of the confused and angry and resulted in very little being brought to the table.
But before I do any of that, what I want you to do is Google News and check the most highlighted stories – as to say what people are really caring about- and you’ll find the following.
Obama wants us all to eat horses.
I didn’t know that he actually made a campaign promise to permanently ban the use of horse meat for human consumption (SEE: LIAR), but in the grand scheme of things until I read another article that tells me companies are legally allowed to integrate Mr. Ed into my Big Mac, I’ll focus on other things.
(I could have sworn Taco Bell used to use D-grade horse meat as the secret ingredient in their burrito supreme.)
Herman Cain dropped out of the race for the Presidency.
I liked the guy from the angle that he was a maverick and had both parties on edge, but even if you have the slightest bit of conspiracy theorist inside you, you knew there are way too many influential people out there controlling the Electoral College that would have ever seen this man in the oval office.
And regardless of what he may or may not have done with other women in his lifetime, I do not understand the direct correlation that has with making decisions to change a country’s policies and lead people.
Unless his sexual misconduct was with this person, then I would question his decision making skills.
Obama is immortal.

We already knew he was attempting to be a prophet of the world. (First, peaceful foreign policy, then free health insurance and now you’re going to employ everybody! YAY)
But apparently according to research, being the president of the united states has statistically shown to prolong your life expectancy. Not bad for the president with the most vacation and golf time of any other president in our country's history.
It just makes you want to go to Area 51 and solve Blue’s Clues for yourself doesn’t?
The FAA Chairman got a DUI on the ground.

I just don’t understand how this is relevant. Stupid people get arrested for stupid activities all the time. It’s not like he was directing 747’s in the air while smashed on some brandy and egg nog.
This little bill....
Oh and finally, our Senate just passed a bill that let’s every American citizen be arrested and held indefinitely without trial by our military in the name of homeland security. No big deal right?

The sad part is, that story wasn't even in the headlines. You have to search to learn of such atrocities because the media knows that dissent and anger won't make them money.
But hey, at least we know Alec Baldwin loves to play Words with Friends way too much.
We are so freaking screwed.
