I feel completely insane. Maybe it’s working three jobs; maybe it’s being sober; maybe I'm actually happy for once and I'm smacked out of my skull on psychological euphoria. I don’t know, maybe its fear, maybe its desperation, maybe its numbness to the ignorance of society, maybe it’s all of these things.
Day in and day out I feel like I want to become an intelligent G.G. Allin who does something with himself instead of drinking fifths of Jim Beam, smoking crack rocks, shooting heroin, defecating on stage and throwing it into the crowd. I want to use my insane mind to start a revolution of sorts. I think it is horrible that I am using G.G. Allin as a template; G.G. Allin was born with the name Jesus Christ Allin. His father was very religious, anti social, and abusive. He was a punk rock musician from the late 1970’s to 1993. His career ended due to a heroin overdose. He was known for a stage act that included defecation, indecent exposure, self-mutilation, assaulting his audience and destroying the property of the venue in which he was performing. He wanted to bring rock and roll back to the roots he believed it had. He was staging a revolution within the genre with a rather amazing following.
That being said, the biggest changes in our society have come by force. The Revolutionary War, The civil war, the Civil Rights movement, standing against prohibition, the labor unions in the 1890’s, For Christ’s sake this took blood sweat and tears. It also took one thing our society has grown to lack: the balls to stand up and do something. Everyone I know has the needed credentials to make a stand and do what they believe is right. Most of society is too caught up in being politically correct and friendly to an ignorant automaton of a neighbor whom aggravates them on a daily basis. This happens so often that it seems everyone has become numbed to an injustice of ignorance, ignorant of there right to tell someone what they think of them in a somewhat intelligent manner. People are too scared to hurt someone, or their feelings, and too scared of rejection and pain.
This country was founded on standing up to something that was found to be unjust. It was founded on violence. Without violence and altercation we would not be the “Great Empire” we are today. We have been fed a somewhat hidden propaganda most of our lives; this would be along the lines of “violence is not the answer”. With this embedded into our Brains we have become more pacified as a society. Before this people were more likely to take up a stand and fight for what they believed in. look at the differences in attitude between generations. My grandfather and great-grandfathers generation were more likely to support the troops against the evil Axis powers. When today every college student without the guts to join the military cries and whines from the safety of their dorm room about how horrible this war is, how horrible our troops are and that we should just talk it over with fundamentalists, we’ll even supply the Krispy Kreme Donuts and Folgers coffee.
What I am about to say will probably offend many, but you must remember it’s going to be one of the truest American things you will ever read. I am protected by the constitution; In fact, the constitution almost encourages me to say this. If you have a problem with something, quit bitching and take action! Do not sign petitions and say that it is your right to free speech. No one actually listens to most of the petitions unless half of a state signs it and not a do nothing state such as
The first thing that happened in our lives was so tragic and traumatizing that we do not remember it. That is birth if you have no idea what I am speaking about, so if you go through something graphic and horrible enough your brain should block it out. so go hard or go home, stand up, or get the fuck out of my country, this isn't a “right wing” or “left wing”, “Bush is an idiot”, “Bush is a god”, “This war is for oil”, or “Kill all the sandniggers” debate I'm throwing onto your dinner plate. What this is, is a "BE AN AMERICAN" Bitch out session for those of you too obsessed with Laguna Beach, American Idol, fashion, and how your possessions rank you in society, destroy the class system, boycott whatever you want. Remember to get others involved in your cause so it makes an impact. If you are pissed off at the government, Let your voice be heard in congress; or better yet give your speech on the steps of the capitol building for so long that they drag you inside to speak so you will finally shut up. You can always go the way of John Wilkes Booth or Lee Harvey Oswald; they made an impact, but just remember if you take the situation into your own hands in the same way these two individuals, all of your hard work could all be considered treasonous. Treason is punishable by death and I am sure without a trial.
So do what you will just do not be ignorant. If you forego your rights, I do not want to hear of your misfortunes due to the forfeiture. I do not want to hear complaining about the present situation of the global community. However, if you decide to take full advantage of your rights, no matter your reasoning or cause, I stand behind you. I stand behind you in the aspect that you are doing what our forefathers designed as the ultimate freedom in a democratic society. The freedom I speak of guarantees my sanity.
