I Finally Figured It Out!!

For years I've thought that not only America, but the world was advancing in intelligence.

I have been proven not only wrong, but completely mistaken about how far we as civilization have advanced. We cannot get along with other countries because of religion, culture or cartoons. We cannot get along within our country because of religion and other beliefs.
It truly is easy to see why this group of Americans so fervently follow our president and are enamored with him. They either feel superior to him, or at least his equal. A necessary feeling for those of sub-standard education levels is to decry others. Since they lack real confidence to face people eye to eye. Always using torment and derision to poke and prod those that they cannot match equally on an intellectual level. Being propped up by think tanks and talking heads of talk radio, to do their thinking for them. It is impossible for them to think for themselves for it would give them a severe headaches. Abusing their wives and children verbally, their pets physically and themselves mentally, they disguise their fears in homophobia, muslimphobia, liberalmania, religiousity, alcholism, racism, facism, false conservatism, mis-placed libertarianism, anti-taxation, and wrestling. More often than not they push either themselves or their children to achieve beyond their abilities and ages in sports.
A gap has grown between the reasonable and the unreasonable. Unfortunately, the unreasonable do not recognize who they are. Joking at others expense, poking, proding, defaming, and laughing. All this while proclaiming to be servants of the One True God, surely he has turned aside from them in their scoffing. They are but bullies and deserve not his respect, nor ours.

When all the laughter dies in sorrow

And the tears have risen to a flood

When all the wars have found a cause

In human wisdom and in blood

Do you think they'll cry in sadness

Do you think the eye will blink

Do you think they'll curse the madness

Do you even think they'll think

When all the great galactic systems

Sigh to a frozen halt in space

Do you think there will be some remnant

Of beauty of the human race

Do you think there will be a vestige

Or a sniffle or a cosmic tear

Do you think a greater thinking thing

Will give a damn that man was here
