Monologue I've been working on

Some stuff I've wrote out of boredom, but it could be a story, I thought I would share it with whoever still reads this;

"It all started when reason and rationality slowly but surely faded into the background, replaced by reactionary rhetoric and populist politics. In the end, it all devolved into a shouting match between religious factions. Christians called atheists fascists, atheists called christians cavemen, and eventually all respect got lost.

Populist, Islamophobic parties took over Europe, ultraconservatives swept America, and content-free politics reigned supreme.

And as their shouting matches continued, totalitarian regimes governed by religious zealots saw this as an incentive to start an all-out war. World War 3 had commenced. And while rational minds screamed for damage control, realizing there would be no real winner, the leaders of the free world were blinded by vengeance, seeking nothing but retribution from a people that were already devoid of freedom, wealth or happiness. And as the war raged on for a decade, society collapsed."

Curious? comment and maybe I'll release some more sound bites here and there!

God Bless America looks, if nothing else, completely insane

Get out of my brain movie...
funny, I had a very similar, but more dutch-themed idea for a movie months back. It's nice to see I'm not the only one getting pissed off at reality tv and all the evil that it reaped.... Although I don't think I would kill over it....

Santorum out of the race

As a progressive I am nothing but glad that the horrendous ultra-conservative Rick Santorum has dropped his presidential bid. Not because he looks like a horrible person, no, I am sure he is a wonderful father and a pleasant man, but because he brings with him the kind of populist rhetoric that is destroying politics. See, when Santorum thinks something has to happen, he does not say it because it fits within a set of overarching principles loosely based on an idealized version of Ronald Reagan, but because Jesus told him to. And he is not alone in behaving this way.

after a long absence

So after a long absence I decided to start blogging again.
