the end of the internet

I feel like I have been to all ends of the internet and found it wanting.  Nothing more than a dictionary, not even an encyclopedia...  More like a cornucopia of disinformation.  The internet tries to be what tv gave up on a  long time ago --  a means to change the world, bring truth into politics, and rally the forces of the marginalized many against the powerful few.  I don't know...  seems like it is going to end up beig co-opted in the end.  The huge internet suppliers will begin funding the news, I suppose... the fractured bloggers in their housecoats, so long marginalized by the strangle hold of the mediocre and sold-out on the market, are a sad last hope for this world.

Oh, well... perhaps entertainment is the best we can hope for in this world.  The serfs probably are better off keeping their dreams on beers and groins -- all else leads to the Frankenstein monster state, of being able to see the world, but being kept from participating.....  As an environmentalist, I feel like the battle has long been lost and will come to a bad end.  Humans, for most of my life, have struck me as so delusional and uptight that I felt it was best just to keep my ideas and fictions for a few friends.  When my ideas became weird is anyones guess?  Too many books...  that was my downfall.  Too damn much reading and education.

I have nothing to say lately.  I am watching the news and feeling depressed by the scam of health care.  Oh let's make it so everyone has to buy insurance, or they get penalized?   That is health care reform?  Sounds more like an elaborate gift to the insurance companies.   A tax on the poor who cannot afford to pay for health care...  that is so fucked up.  I know there is other shit in the bill, and great... I am glad they are doing something, but going from the public option to forcing people to buy private insurance with money they obviously don't have?  Gross.   Real income has been stagnate since the 70's for the working class -- that vast majority of us that is being swindled.

I am glad to see thursday is supposed to be a big action day on this front... but how many times do people have to tell their politicians to do something before they will do it?   It is going to take getting all these fucks out of office who did not vote for a one payer system, and replacing them.  The insurance companies are pulling a massive fraud on the american people.  Fraud.  People are dying.  As long as they can buy enough politicians to get their way, the rest of us are going to suffer....
