In America You'll Never Be Free...




This is not the America I signed up for. I've said constantly that I'm in love, in fact straight up INFATUATED, with the idea of America. But the execution of the idea known as "America" leaves much to be desired, at best. At worst "America" is a sick joke, a trojan horse created for those with the greatest amount of avarice at heart to run rampant and unchecked.

The latest examples of American hypocrisy can be found here and here. Both are short, but even if you don't wanna read 'em just take a look at the titles.

So as you can see, it doesn't matter what side you're on. You think differently? Welcome to Guantanamo Express.

Last time I checked, America was born out of protest and subsequent action.

9-11 really did deal a deathblow to America. Now the president government can call you a terrorist and legally detain you for as long as they please. No trial, no jury, no problem.

(And don't think because you're a citizen it can't happen to you. Ever heard of "home grown terrorists"? When the government gets to define "terrorist", what makes you think they won't use that to stay in power?)

Your neighbor won't even miss you. He'll probably let his dog sh!t on your lawn.

Wake up.

Whilst walking through the local Grocer with one of my good friends, I looked to my right and saw a towel with what I'm assuming was hebrew characters on it, it sparked my curiousity, so I investigated further. It was a "passover towel set." Very interesting. Upon Further Examination of the surrounding area, I found these:



at a glance, kinda alarming, yet funny. I don't know whether to laugh or be ashamed for laughing. let us delve into the 10 Plagues Masks, pictured on the left.

You will see below a picture which I altered slightly for identification purposes.
You will also see a red arrow pointing to the word 'LICE' keep in mind that all masks in the bag represent one of the ten (10) plagues, and all masks also have the particular plague they represent printed on the front of the mask as shown on the 'lice' mask.
Circled in Green: "Blood," it is litteraly three giant drops of blood, with eyeholes.
Circled in Navy Blue: "Hail," flaming pieces of ice.
Circled in Sky Blue: "First Born," it is a face of a dead baby. a dead. baby.
Circled in Red: "Boils," skin toned, with boils on it. 'nuff said.
Circled in Yellow: on the left it says it's recommended for kids older than 2, and on the right, it says "fun and educational"
Not Circled, Yet Obvious: "Darkness" (right above the word 'masks' between 'boils' and 'fun and educational') it is a photograph of Charlie Murphey's face.



I can see it now... Some small jewish boy running around with his friends: "this passover I'm gonna be 'Boils' not that stupid frog one." and then another boy: "I call Blood!" "i get the dead baby one!" "i got lice guys... i mean, like seriously. i got lice, im not sure what to do about it, my mom's gonna kill me for sharing yarmulkes"

(shout out to Peter Rosenburg, and any jewish peeps reading this. L'Chaim!)
