Ridiculousity

Yeah, I made that word up. Hey, if Bush can do it, then so can I.

I was reading on another site about how there doesn't seem to be any sanity anymore. It was a discussion about what the hell is wrong with people today. And the conventional wisdom seemed to be a lack of common sense.

No common sense? Really?

Whoa! Don't even get me started on that!

See the post about common sense. It's true, you know?

I attributed it to the title of this post.

It was not always like this. We were, at one time, the most advanced country on Earth.
We are now a bunch of stupid, lazy and fat people.

We were once entertained by the most talented artists in the world for free on TV.
Now we watch people eat bugs.

We were once the most formidable military force on the planet.
Now we don't even know who the enemy is.

We once made the greatest and finest products available anywhere.
Now we import almost everything and that which we do still make is crap.

We once had schools that turned out educated ,intelligent and productive people who didn't shoot each other.
And now... Well, you know.

We were once great.
Now we are pitiable.

I blame drugs. Not street drugs, we’ve always had those. They are not, and never were much of a threat. The ones who choose to use them were and are idiots. Those people never helped us anyway. And we didn’t need them. Nor do we now.

What I’m talking about are the legal toxins we are being force fed by individuals who we were taught to trust. Our doctors are feeding us nasty garbage because the pharmaceutical companies reward them for doing so. The pharmaceutical companies are making unimaginable billions of dollars by lying to the FDA and everyone else about their product in order to sell their noxious elixirs at unimaginable markups to as many of us as they possibly can. Then, the refined and concentrated poison they feed us turns us into a nation of ludicrous morons.

We are unhealthy morons at that. We are spending a large part of our incomes on a product that makes us stupid, unhealthy and even dead. For the most part, we don’t even know it. We keep taking their drugs and we know we're not getting any better because of them. But we are told that results take time, that we need to stick with them.

Results do take time. But the results they give us are not the ones we want or are told we will get. Then this chain of events starts to snowball. Soon, we no longer care. Moreover, we don’t know why.

But I know why. I also know how to fix it.

Are you taking a pill because you are unhappy?
No pill will fix that.

Are you taking a pill in order to fix a health problem that could be fixed with diet and exersize?
Why?

Did they tell you that you have a right to be that lazy?
You don't, you know.

I know all of this.
And you used to.
Stop taking their snake oils and potions, and soon you will see this and know this again.
