51. Damn
This is beyond heartbreaking, beyond awful, no words really adequately describe it. How can people (I'm assuming GM upper management) live with what they're doing? Are they all complete socio paths? I know it's common for high earning CEOs to be socio paths... but it's damn hard to imagine how any human being could do this. Like Stalin, like Hitler, like so many of history's asshole tyrants. Now they simply come in the shape of gigantic corporations lead by socio paths rather than single Dictators.

Though I'm ashamed of myself for it, this is the first I've heard of this. Generally I try to stay away from news, National and International, as much as I can precisely because of stories like this. They depress me even more, they drain what little hope and optimism I have... which really isn't much at all.

I'm going to cry for these farmers and their families before I go to sleep tonight, I just know it. Cry for them and pray for them even though I don't know if there's a higher power at all... at times like this it's hard to believe there could be. I'm one of those people who pray just in case... but if there is a higher power it's got a lot to answer for. For not blasting these GM assholes and those like them with lightning bolts.

Damn GM, I'd be willing to join the resistance against them right now. I'd go right on over to India and help them fight the bastards off... if I didn't already have too much on my plate to handle and not even a fork or a spoon. If I could even afford the plane ticket or wasn't often so full of apathy and depression at the state of the world that I can barely get out of bed in the morning.

What a sick, sick world we live in.
