Disproportionate Outrage Rant

I know this is an opinion and everyone's opinion is different from being formed from their own personal experiences. I'm already getting off track.

I don't understand how so many people freak out and go crazy road rage when some one cuts them off in traffic (myself included), but be perfectly fine with the tap watered being drugged with fluoride.
 "Despite growing scientific evidence that shows ingesting fluoride does not reduce tooth decay and can be harmful to health, including lowering IQ, it seems the CDC has convinced the Pew Charitable Trust to use its lobbying power and political clout to force more fluoride into Americans via the water supply, even where voters rejected fluoridation."

The public does not seem to give two shits about that. 

A few years back in a criminal justice class I was told that in TX if you catch your spouse in the act of fucking someone else you are automatically eligible for an insanity plea. Because apparently that is just the acceptable response to catching your spouse cheating. I was also told that they were trying to change that since more women were using it and men did not appreciate that, but that is a rant for another day. 

How come people are not more pissed about the NDAA ? 

"The NDAA also for the first time mandates the military detention of covered terrorism suspects, defined broadly to include members of al-Qaeda and associated groups who are planning or who have participated in attacks against the United States. Under the NDAA, the military detention of those covered terrorism suspects is no longer merely an option but a requirement. The NDAA thus creates a new and unprecedented default rule of military detention, usurping the authority traditionally vested in civilian law enforcement. It flouts the principles on which the US was founded: that civilian authority must be supreme over the military, and that even those accused of the most serious crimes are entitled to a trial and the other protections of the Bill of Rights."

Don't give that bull plop about how the text was changed and it doesn't include American citizens. The text was changed, but it does still include locking up American citizens forever without a trial. You don't have to like it, but it is better for everyone if people are realistic about this. Keep in mind that they don't have to prove you did anything. They just get to lock you up because they said so. It would also be helpful if you read the links by clicking in the highlighted areas. 

I would much rather catch my significant other in bed with the skankest of skanks then this shit. Also other Democrats are trying to sugar coat this shit which makes me want to throw the laptop through the wall again. Is he still better then a republican? Yes. Is that where we are setting the bar now? Plus if we have to lie and sugar coat turds to get our people in office then we are no better then republicans. Have a little fucking self respect people. I feel strange just saying that since I will post pictures of my ass on the internet, but at least I wont sell my soul and hero worship a politician. I have fucking standards.  

I wont go into all the other things that people should be pissed off about but are not. That would be depressing and long. 

One time when I was a kid I asked my mom how come people back in like the 1700-1800 cared sooo much about manners, etiquette, and so called social norms (not in those words). If you had a baby most likely it was going to die. Most likely you were going to die young. If you were a woman most likely you were going to die giving birth to your baby, who would also most likely be dead soon. I mean these people had huge problems and would freak the fuck out if a woman wore pants or some one had the wrong religion. These people would flip over table manners. My mind could not wrap around why people with real problems, cared about such piddly shit. My mother, being the smart person she is, told me that they could not do anything about those things so they worried about what they could control. Clothing, religion, other ways of keeping people in line. 

I think people have started thinking about their government like death. We can't do anything about it so we shouldn't be concerned with it. So they go and gossip or down load illegal music or what ever the fuck the kids are doing these days. We can do something about it. We need to. We just have to get the numbers and the focus of the people. 

We are not going to get help from our media. They are own by 6 different corporation who do better with an uneducated public. People have to go out of there way and educate themselves. We live at the most phenomenal time in the history of man education wise. Sure you have to wade through rivers of bullshit to get real information, but most of us actually have it sitting in our laps right now. So pull up your big girl panties. Stop looking for people and politicians to fly in and make the world better. The first part has got to be at least trying to figure out what is going on so we can figure out how to fix it. EDUCATE -> ACT -> CHANGE THE WORLD. 

I arise in the morning torn between a desire to improve the world and a desire to enjoy the world. This makes it hard to plan the day.
