TAMING OF THE LOO

In the giant outhouse we call today's society, where everyone seems so caught up in their social lives and miscreant behavior, how many of you out there have ever taken a step back and wondered what exactly the point of marriage is in today's world. Is it to raise a family, support each other, find some kind of common ground and try not to kill each other when things like finances, vice, attractive co-workers and late night clubbing get in the way? Is it safe to say that at least 80% of the marriages we attend on a year-to-year basis will end in some sort of grizzly divorce? I used to believe that is was something worth honoring and something that people could do together and grow into, people who claim to "love" one another, people who bring life into the world and have the responsibility to bring them up to be productive decent citizens and not another scum bag who is a reason to lock your doors at night and keep your loaded ruger nearby. In the old days when the cost of living was such that there only needed to be one breadwinner and the other would stay home and keep a clean house and raise the children, making sure somebody was home when they got out of school and kept an eye on them so some pervert didn't try to swipe them off the sidewalk or a creepy neighbor attempted to lure them into a nearby shed, but those days are gone now. Now both parents it seems have to work to keep the home afloat and often one of the parents will find it necessary to spent unhealthy amounts of time out socializing with friends, having illicit affairs and thinking nothing of it. Screw the family and the kid going to bed at night wondering where in the world that one parent is when the other is always there putting them to bed and reading to them. Responsibility in the 21st century is in the toilet and nobody seems to give a damn. It is a topic that is treaded upon lightly if at all and should be in the forefront of societal problems. The children who feel neglected then turn to drugs and shooting up movie theaters because they are so filled with rage and voids. So then what is the point of marriage if it doesn't stand for anything any longer. Everyone is always complaining about their spouse, nobody says, "I can't wait to get home to my loving spouse who is my best friend and together we will sit at the dinner table and say a prayer and then read to the child together or watch a movie together uninterrupted by facebook or myspace. What is that all about? I'm surprised kids learn out to read at all these days before the age of 12.

The lack of manners in children today, the problems they have with authority and violent outbursts and heavy drug activity is a direct correlation to the rotten situations in the homes all over the world, not just in the US. Nowadays a kid is never sure if they are going to walk into Mommy's bedroom and the lump laying beside her could be Daddy or some random greasy man Mommy met the night before in a night club. That is life today in every city and small town and it is only getting worse. There is no longer any loyalty, honor and certainly no responsibility. And the worst part about it is that everyone thinks that they are right or they simply don't care and either way it is devastating and all of us who make such an effort to live wholesome lives are being smothered by the degenerate culture.

So instead of focusing on lowering the cost of living by eliminating the minimum wage and forcing the prices of everything to decrease with a variety of economic measures, one being drilling our own oil, for example, here in the states, state governments and the twisted population are encouraging the young and old alike to stone away all their problems with high end, extra sticky marijuana joints sold in a multitude of pot shops increasing the pot head population to a feverish mark. In some states like southern Colorado you can't walk down the street without some stumbling junkie slamming into you or driving in an erratic fashion claiming that the herb makes them better drivers. Ever hear that line? What next, mainlining heroin drive throughs? Believe it or not when it comes to the marijuana situation I am somewhat on the fence because I don't believe the jails should be filled with potheads, but at the same time I don't think it is a healthy lifestyle nor one that should be introduced and portrayed as acceptable for our children. If marijuana was so harmless Jamaican Reggae superstar Bob Marley, a heavy pot smoker, probably wouldn't have died from cancer at age 37. Granted he also didn't attend to the problem by using modern medicine due to his religious beliefs and early on the doctors offered to amputate his toe where the cancer had developed from a soccer wound that had gone untreated, but for the sake of the argument the marijuana was a carcinogen that he may have wanted to avoid. In 19th century China opium for a while was legal until the Chinese realized that it was destroying the ambition of the population. Everyone was turning into a junkie and the Chinese culture was breaking down so the government outlawed it. So we started talking about marriage and then went into drug abuse. The scattered mind of a thinker. I am always thinking, always observing and detailing notes from these observations with horror and exclamation points. Notebook after notebook filled up with depravity and horror. Some say that the world is the same and has always been this way since the beginning of time. I disagree to a great extent. Yes humans have always been filled with vice and degeneracy, but the conditions of the behavior has changed and that is was is so dangerous. In Ancient Rome they used to keep slaves to construct the buildings and fight in bloody bouts between gladiators and wild beasts to appease the demented masses, just like today people enjoy the MMA fights, but also back then nobody was starving, wars were fought for practical reasons: land, shipping lanes, power, money, etc. Today they are fought, but I am not quite sure what it is they are fighting about. At one point we were engaged in a war over oil and in the end we never even got one barrel from the stinking massacre. Everything that is wrong with all aspects of society goes back to the degeneration of life within the individual homes throughout the landscapes all across the horizons in every direction.
