Why do people treat each other like disposable waste?
I hate globalization, certainly as it stands - without serious regulations to ensure people aren't treated as being as disposable as every other element in our society we've created (disposable cookware, technology, you name it - it's disposable).

I hate religion. While they try to promote love and respect on some wacky level, they do it on their own convoluted and inconsistent terms. And there's always a scapegoat in their views; usually the homosexuals!

I hate politics. I have yet to find a politician who doesn't cave into SIGs, doesn't take corporate money, works entirely for and for the people. Why the working and poor classes look up to politicians is beyond me, we should be looking out for ourselves and each other. Or is that socialism? :eyes: Can't have socialism, that's a threat to freedom! :eyes: (what a load of cack, of all politicians, the republicans are the most vile. Libertarians are too self-centered, and the Greens will never win because the she... people are too trapped and wrapped up in their cozy two-party system which is increasingly one-party (the Corporate America party).

The people just want what's fair, considerate, and right. I think they innately hate politics too.

But:

I'm a subversive.

I'm an intellectual.

I'm a free thinker!

I'm a celibate gay guy who's desperate for companionship.

I'm everything the republicans hate, personified in a cuddly warm nice human being big a big... heart.

And I'm proud of it all! :P

1. Preach on hypnoToad!!!
Notice how the Personnell department's name was changed to HUMAN RESOURCES with little fan fair? That should have clued workers in on how corporate America views us...we are nothing other than a resource like a forest..,,,to use until we are no longer useful...then we will be thrown to the side in favor of a newer model.
