To Whomever's Trying To Teach Us A Valuable Lesson, We Get It Already!
Okay I get it. We were a shallow bunch of losers. We cared about Julia Roberts, we majored in business, we saw "Titanic" 14 times, we were convinced we'd make a million dollars via stock options at our dot calm company.
So somebody had to put us back on the right track. Now we're concerned about politics, now we do volunteer work, now we "get out the vote." Green Day writes about politics, as does Lenny Kravitz, the Beastie Boys, and Bonnie Raitt (!!!!!!). We can name lots of small countries. We're all up and up on the New York Times Online. We read the shit out of that shit. Even Brooks and Dunn have taken a stand on what direction our country should go. (Can you believe we live in the same country as Brooks And Dunn?) We're all into that shit!
I've figured it out. It's just like the end of that movie "Unbreakable" from M Night Shamalamadingdong with Bruce Willis and Samuel L Jackson. We were apathetic and pathetic and now we're all heroes. And we believe in heroes again. It may have taken the death of a lot of people but the rest of us who are still alive are now of a higher caliber. There's less of us, but there's better "us' around now. We know who the 14th President is. We like Radiohead for their 'message." Everybody's gonna vote on Tuesday. Michael Moore isn't a starving artist anymore, now even close.
There's a lot of turmoil on the planet, but at least now we KNOW about it. Maybe somebody's causing it, not for bad reasons but for good. It's not oil we're after, it's hope! Blood for oil? Hell no! But blood for hope? That doesn't sound so bad now does it? Maybe Samuel L. is getting his freak on within the Global Theater to bring out the hero in us. Not the Globe Theatre, that's Shakespeare, but the Global Theater. Everybody's so down on war, but these have been some of the best civics lessons we done ever got. Right?
