We're doomed, and there's plenty for all.

"Why must it feel so wrong when I try and do right?"  Thank you KiD CuDi for that.  Mr. Solo Dolo himself.
I don't understand conservatives.  I get that you should defend what you think is right, but why do I see it proven, day after day, that these people are so close-minded and blinded by their tunnel vision?  Stubbornness.  I hate it.  The Human Condition.  See that's just the thing... it sounds like the name of an illness, doesn't it?  Like someone asks you, "What's wrong?" and you answer, "Oh I just have the Human Condition."  Seriously it could be an excuse for all of our problems.  We've created a world we are not capable of sustaining and maintaining in a healthy way.  I hate the media, and many aspects of the American mindset.  Yes, America has a mindset.  They've got their mind set on consumerism and gluttony.  We are all guilty.  I just really don't want to be a part of it anymore.  Honestly I could go on all day on a rant about this.. but really I have a LOT of work I should be doing (and of course I'm procrastinating... do you see a trend?)

Why is America SO completely and utterly obsessed with violence?  It's the main topic on the news; it is becoming more prominent in our everyday lives.  It also has taken over the video game industry.  This bothers me terribly.  I was having a conversation with someone about violence in video games.  I merely stated that I didn't like it, and I didn't understand why so many people were obsessed with games like "Modern Warfare" and "Call of Duty," etc.  He told me he liked it because it wasn't real violence, and that it was "fun, fake violence."  What the hell?  FUN violence?  I feel like that should be an oxymoron. I get that people like to play video games because it takes you away from your everyday life for a while. So does alcohol, heroin, cocaine... I could go on.  Why do we create our lives to be so stressful or monotonous or bad that everyone feels the need to check out for a while?  Who do you know that does not participate in any kind of activity that distracts them from their everyday life?  I can't think of a single person.  Even TV distracts you from your problems.  What a positive feedback, huh?

Anyway... time to start my outline about my Candlewood Lake Milfoil senior research project, and then study for an evolutionary biology exam.  So fun. Not really. Bye.
