Righteous Impotence

"Remember: When shooting protesters, always aim for the heart, never the head."
-The Nightly News, Jonathan Hickman.

Oh the outrage. As the massive sit-in known as Occupy Wall Street finally gains the media spotlight, let us take note. Give them what they want, which is not change, but all our attentions, so no one will miss it when, to a one, these Passive "Activists" disappoint; Flake, stutter, and disappoint. Disappoint themselves and the ideals they claim to stand for most of all, if they have any shame. Not because they are wrong, but because they are weak. And far, far too late.
Now that it's getting some coverage, now that it's cool in New York and Seattle, we should totally be outraged too.
Are you FUCKING KIDDING? Where was your indignation when the money was being spent. When the third war, the third fucking invasion and occupation our country is engaged in was begun. BP and the Gulf? The destruction of a whole ecosystem and way of life for thousands of people? How about Fukushima? The permanent toxic death-zone the meltdown incident in Japan is still and even now making of the pacific ocean? Isn't that outrageous enough to "no longer remain silent"?
Shut the fuck up. Look around, take a breath, and realize your half-hearted facebook revolution as the impotent masturbation it is. You want a better world? Burn this one down first. Get to work. Stop fucking posing to video-blog on your iphone, don't worry about the way your asymmetric haircut looks in the photo art, and pick up an axe if you actually give a damn. The folks who run this shit didn't get there and stay there with sentiment, and they won't be moved by it. The Arab Spring Revolutions might have used twitter, but they used it for one purpose, and that was to get blood on the streets and occupy government property when it was the only tool available and all other communications technology were blocked and media blackouts were solidly in place. They were not in a public park with cameras all around. The pretension would be hilarious if it wasn't so predictable and pathetic.

Meat Wisdom:

"...You teach yourself to wire up your own brain and gut and reproductive organs into one frightening machine that you aim at the planet like a meat gun..."
-Spider Jerusalem


"Part of the secret of success in life is to eat what you like and let the food fight it out inside.”

“There are people who strictly deprive themselves of each and every eatable, drinkable, and smokable which has in any way acquired a shady reputation. They pay this price for health. And health is all they get for it. How strange it is. It is like paying out your whole fortune for a cow that has gone dry." -
-Mark Twain


Primarily I'm a meat man, although once in a while I toy with a few vegetables.
-Nat King Cole



"A man loves the meat in his youth that he cannot endure in his age. "
-Shakespeare


“One who is addicted to intoxicating drinks and meat eating and leads a sensuous life is a demonic being. Such a person is intensely selfish and has no feeling or consideration for others.”

- Sri Sathya Sai Baba


“I have known many meat eaters to be far more nonviolent than vegetarians.”

- Mahatma Gandhi
