Human Condition

February 25, 2008

“Nothing discernible to the eye of the spirit is more brilliant or obscure than man; nothing is more formidable, complex, mysterious, and infinite. There is a prospect greater than the sea, and it is the sky; there is a prospect greater than the sky, and it is the human soul.”

in Victor Hugo – Les Miserables

Most elections are a democratic process, that represent the will of the people, or judging by the last elections, the will of someone that thinks what the people wants…
In the recent polls, we see a strange phenomena occurring, that until this elections, some thought inconceivable: a woman and a not so white man running for office.

Times do change, and with them the people.

Take a look at where Americans stand today. According to recent polls, Barack Obama is the undisputed leader of this race (no pun intended) and is well on his way to becoming the first not so white President of the United States of America. I can imagine what’s going on inside some redneck’s head: “Ok, between the nigger and the bitch, might as well be the nigger, otherwise the bitch will spend all the budget on carpets.”

Still, some people genuinely believe in Obama’s project for the country. Not surprising either. After George Bush Jr. we’d be better off even with Carrot Top calling the shots, even if vodka ones…

So a revolution is about to occur. While I do hope that Obama does a good work, I’ll sincerely chuckle at the sight of those self-righteous people haters (you know, like me, but a bit more self-righteous) pissed off because their president isn’t an intern-cigar-fucking pristine white boy.

So with votes of great success and an entertaining election day (or weeks if this shit goes to court again), God bless America. ( nah, fuck them, with a cherry on top. )

“I heard the voice of the fourth living creature say, ‘Come!’ I looked, and there before me was a pale horse! Its rider was named Death, and Hades was following close behind him. They were given power over a fourth of the earth to kill by sword, famine, and plague, and by the wild beasts of the earth”

Book of Revelations 6:7-8

Most of the time I’m sitting at some random meeting at work, I’m amazed by the amount of bullshit that’s spit out in one single meeting. The amount of crap some executive can throw at you is unbelievable. If you don’t pay attention, you’ll be fucked in no time. You’ll have to work more, do more, produce more, and with a little bit of luck, be paid less.

Speaking of which, we have clergy. Yes, you totally read that right: religion is bullshit.
According to the holy church, there’s a man who lives in the sky, who watches everything you do at every single moment (yes, that includes your everyday private jerking-off-moment-while-contemplating-your- totally-nonexistent-sex-life) and this man has a list of ten things you shouldn’t do. And if you do any of those things, you’ll spend the rest of this eternity in the fiery damnation of Hell! …but He loves you!

Oh and did i mention that He also doesn’t give a shit? Look at all the famine, all war, not enough rape, and we could not leave without mentioning George Bush (junior) …
This is the point where you go ‘No He cares about us, his child died for us’, and the i say ‘yes, that’s true, but also happened in a time when chickens had teeth’.

Come on, if you still believe in that, the you should also consider Santa Claus and the Easter Bunny. At least they don’t throw you to eternal damnation if you spit on the side walk or try to rape your neighbour… Wait, that one is actually against the law, strike that one…

And so we part, I’m now going to repent my sins and pay a Dominatrix to expiate them for me.
