Reply #68: Most Americans are Malnourished, Slightly Educated Robots

[Grinchie]

Most American's apparently are able to read, but are either too tired or lazy to do so. Many are still sleepwalking inside the American Dream, oblivious to the dangerous approach of environmental collapse, ever dwindling resources, and greedy Corporations that have the same protections as they do. They eat food that they "Assume" is food, but in reality, is nothing more than a good looking facsimile, grown on soil that has been depleted since the 1930's. Soil worked so hard that nothing but weeds would grow without tons of external inputs that force overproduction of low nutrition foodstuffs from GMO cereals and grains. Food that is so machined that it requires double the salt, triple the sugar, and an unhealthy dose of synthetic fat to make it go down easier. Food so alien that not even insects will touch it - Mold will usually take hold before.

Apart from being tired, malnourished and weak, most American's actually believe that by being a good little drone, they may someday be able to grab the carrot dangling in front of them. Unfortunately, by the time they do, any sense of ethics or morality has been killed but toeing the Corporate line and proving their fealty to the Corporation.

It's frustrating to see so many people that are asleep, and even though many boast that they have awoken and are pissed off about it, do nothing to better themselves, learn alternate ways of providing for their needs, and ultimately just revert to the same old rat race because it is convenient. They would have no clue what to do if the Electricity shut off, water stopped running, and the only thing left in the stores were cans of Red Bull

I highly recomend surfing through YouTube on the Exxon Valdez disaster. There (was) a cool video showing the CEO promising to "Make Alaskan's Whole" again. Then, 20 years later, after the fishing industry was devastated years after the spill, and countless people waited for compensation, the Supreme Court hamstringed the settlement by cutting it in half.

Just forget about the Gulf for a while and travel back to the Exxon Valdez disaster and view it subjectively. It will make your skin crawl to see how far down the tubes America has flushed itself.

The information on the Exxon Valdez is a good primer to the monumental disaster taking place in the Gulf right now.
