THE MISADVENTURES OF AN ESOTERIC INVESTIGATOR

The BEAST has compiled it's yearly list of The Most Loathsome People in America. There are a lot of scathing reviews of some pretty nasty people, but I think my favorite was number four...

4. YOU

Charges: Silently enabling and contributing to the irreversible destruction of your planet. Absolving yourself of your responsibility to do anything about it that your immediate neighbors don't. Assuming that it's normal behavior to spend several hours each day totally inert and staring into a cathode ray tube. Substituting antidepressants for physical motion. Caring more about the personal relationships of people you will never meet than your own. Shrugging your shoulders at the knowledge that your government is populated by criminal liars intent on fooling you into impoverished, helpless submission. Cheering this process on.

Exhibit A: You don't even know who your Congressman is.

Sentence: Deathbed realization that your entire life was an unending series of stupid mistakes and wasted opportunities, a priceless gift of potential extravagantly squandered, for which you deserve nothing but scorn or, at best, indifference, and a cold, meaningless demise.

We're all fucking guilty. Now why don't we get together and do something about it. Maybe the Universe will grant us some leniency. Because the Universe has a heart, unlike Arnold Schwarzenegger.
