Kim Jung Un is not the most stable person on the planet. He still thinks Dennis Rodman is relevant... He has had people executed by shooting them with an ANTI-AIRCRAFT GUN!
When his pappy died, and he took over, there was some smack talk. I figured that was to be expected because, ya know... He had to "out crazy" his Pops. His Pops, who was bat shit crazy of the highest magnitude, rattled his sabers. He did this to keep control of his population... By standing up to the Big Bad U.S.A.! (without actually having to stand up to the big bad U.S.A.) Pure theatrics.
NOW... Kimmy has a nuke... And the means of delivery. This puts them as one of my biggest fears at the moment. It is not number one, and here is why...
Alaska is within the current range of the missile. More importantly, Alaska is where Sarah Palin and the rest of that shit show are... So, if it gets nuked I can see a silver lining. Horrific nightmare... Granted... But... At least some good would come out of it...
The next thing that keeps me up at night is climate change. A couple weekends ago, I spent time arguing with a climate change denier. Was stupid on my part... I know that... NOW...
"You think my, or your, putting plastic bottles in a separate container is doing anything? And if you don't separate glass and plastics, that you will cause the planet to die? Seems kind of egotistical."
"Well, if it were just me polluting, and consuming, and not giving a fuck, that would not be as detrimental to the planet. Let me ask you a question... Is a penny substantial? What about 7.37 billion pennies? Kinda makes a difference when you get to that number... Which just so happens to be the population of the Earth."
This week, the fear was brought to the forefront of my head because an iceberg, the size of Delaware broke off the Antarctic Shelf. When MAPS have to be redrawn... This is "not good".
I fear Climate Change because this is the only Earth we have.
You have people out there, in positions of power, using this "divinity" to hold sway over large masses. The sway being so great, they can get away with pedophilia, murder, and then every goddamn Sunday, they collect them tithes, yo!
Religion is supposed to be separate from the State in this country. I see that barrier eroding daily. I considered starting or contributing to an existing defense fund for the guy who keeps running into and smashing commandments statues outside courthouses. He is a super devout christian guy, but loves the country a little bit more.
People are trying to legislate morality... And there is nothing really more frightening than that...
Well...
There is a man... Currently, as of this writing, he is in Santa Fe, New Mexico. He holds millions of people's hopes and fears in his hands.
George R. R. Martin is the writer of a series of books that are the direct inspiration for HBO's "Game of Thrones". He is a pretty old dude... like 69 or some shit... He don't really look like he has enjoyed a "salad". Ever.
He has been working on the latest novel for longer than any of his fans would appreciate (SIX YEARS, GEORGE!!!). Neil Gaiman once responded to the critics of Georgie's less than rapid production, by simply stating, "George R. R. Martin is not your bitch." Fine... but even Neil wants to know who wins the game!!!!
Given his age, health, and general sedentary, writing lifestyle... Homeboy is gonna pop before his finishes!
This can't be allowed to happen. To make things even more fraught with peril... he still writes on "an old DOS machine running Wordstar 4.0"... Technological marvel of 1983!!!
Which will give out first? His heart or the processor in that machine????
The last, but definitely not least, colossal fear goes by many names... All of them conjuring a picture of ineptitude and a disregard for basic human decency... I simply refer to it by "45"
I seriously try not to bash this collective group of imbecilic, feces flinging, shaved apes... But for fuck's sake... I am truly frightened that I have participated in my last democratic election.
This week was jam packed with "What The Fuck?" moments. It is mortifying that the defense against collusion with a foreign government is, "Well, it turned out the Russian lawyer we met with did not have any incriminating evidence, so... we couldn't collude. We sure as shit wanted to... But... It was just a waste of 20 min."
20 minutes that could have been spent doing what, Donnie Jr.???? Well... lessee... If you were to bend over, at the end of an active runway... perched on a stand... and allow the RUSSIAN Antonov An-225 Mirya, to fly directly into your rectum... You would, after 20 minutes of attempted anal breaching by the world's largest jet aircraft, successfully enter into a contest for "The World's Biggest Asshole". The main competition you would face would be your own actual asshole...

I am afraid when one man has power over an entire country.
It scares me how men have control over masses of people, reducing them to sheep, and actually calling them their "flock".
I am afraid I won't learn how a favorite book ends!!!! Mysteries suck, George... Winter is coming!
The current "administration" has got me shitting myself... and I have to be careful. Chronic gastronomical distress may end up being a preexisting condition.
Stay away from Captain Howdy,

The thing that scares me most is the lack of value our government puts on education.
ReplyDeleteOh and would you be afraid if one woman had power over a whole country?
