On a completely serious note (or as serious as I can get on this blog) the people of Iran are probably the best educated and most westernized of any country in the region. They despise the clowns running things in their country as much as we despise the clowns who want to take over in THIS country, but guns and holy books rule and talkers drool. Like the old blues standard says, “Them that’s got shall get, them that’s not shall lose, so the Bible says and it still is news…”

What’s amazing to me is that a large percentage of our population hasn’t been satisfied by the feast of bloodshed and misery we’ve brought to that part of the world, and still hungers (!) for a war with Iran or Syria or both. It’s almost as if our concensus of opinion now says “the only way we can influence events in other parts of the world is through brute force.” Which is probably why the same people think beating down dissent in this country is a viable option… they thrive when the strong get their way, and they feel oppressed when the weak and downtrodden have a voice in things.
That might be another example of why the religious fuckballs in Iran and America are so much alike… they both want total control over others because giving others a voice is some sort of appeasement they can’t handle.

Fuck Coca Cola. I’d like to teach the world to smoke. If everyone currently yelling for war in this country (or carrying an AK-47 in that one) would just stop and inhale, deeply, maybe twice a day? No more aggression, no more war, no more bomb-making, no more crazy talk about invasions and Great Satans.
Of course, there would be a worldwide Doritos shortage, but like they say in the commercials, “Eat all you want. We’ll make more!”
