...because nobody seems to know."
The last lines of "Beehive State" by Randy Newman.
If you don't know much about Utah, I can tell you two things. It's the "home" for the drones of EBAY (while the CEO and the more intelligent staffers are in California). And...it's got one less idiot in it following some kind of brainless asshole-esque Pagan horse shit "Burning Man" event that was $90 a day:
Excuse me for not keeping up on every species of spaz.
My first reaction to this dumbass news item was that it reminded me of the original "Wicker Man" movie...which involved idiots believing in some jerky religion...and a particular flaming fuckin' ritual.
Apparently somebody who had taken too much meth-laced molly or mushrooms loaded with lsd or maybe a Redbull too many...decided he was a moth. He ran toward the flames and toasted himself.
No great loss, of course. But it brings up a question...why were over a THOUSAND assholes gathered around a "burning man" effigy, carrying on like it's the Middle Ages?
The flip side of the Internet, and texting and sexting and free porn and free movies and music...is that the world has actually become a more terrifying place. The news used to be something to avoid at 6pm and 11pm, and a newspaper printed a lot of dull political garbage with maybe a local murder or two. Now? Now we're looking at a world gone mad, and we're up close with whatever goes on in the Middle East, Africa, South America, the U.S.A., the U.K. -- it's a never ending assault of hideous news and bad behavior. Minorities have run amok and brought their lousy music, stinky food, lack of morality and over-populating loud and obnoxious behavior with them. Let's not call that racism, let's call it THE TRUTH. NOBODY is getting along, and these people are becoming more backward by the minute.
If immigrants aren't acting up, it's home-grown rednecks, chavs, stupid and violent fucks who either have no job or have no morality or just have no fucking brains. All they know is to be selfish and grab a gun. Some redneck jerk the other day kills almost an entire family because they couldn't tell him where to find the wife he'd been beating. Some black son of a bitch the other day kills a police officer by an ambush and a shot to the back of the head "to become famous," and after he's shot and killed, his brainless wife just stares at the reporters like a cow and mutters "he my husband, I don't know from nuthin' about no killin' no cop" or whatever it was she blabbered from her blubber lips
So-called humans are engaged in self-destructive and sadistic behavior, and whether it's fracking or illegal downloading or bullying on Twitter or using a website to arrange some God-awful act of sex or violence...the planet has become more barbaric, and people are becoming more and more immune to any suffering. Everyone's seen so much shit at the movies that any time there's a horrendous disaster, they just walk away and say "it was just like a movie," and it means NOTHING.
So the "cure" for the sophistication of the Internet and cellphones and all the rest of the scientific miracles and technological advances...has been for humans to revert back to superstition, black magic, insane religions and other backward behavior...rampant drugs, mindless sex, and breaking down all barriers that were put up to make civilization civil.
Marry someone of your own sex. Change your sex like you'd change your clothes. Legalize all drugs. Make porn available to kids. Show every atrocity possible in an "entertainment" movie. Piss on any religion that invokes notions of peace and instead embrace angry Gods and the psychos who tell you "Kill! Kill! Kill!" And don't go to a peace festival...go someplace where you can take drugs and watch some bonfire of the vanities.
Hick morons in Utah couldn't enjoy that state's mountains and parks and wildlife? The open expanse of countryside? Nah. They were jealous at not being in a big city where they could party till 4am in some converted meat storage plant and try and see which one might be an Olsen twin. So go listen to crap music and build a fucking effigy and set it on fire. That's 2014?? Jesus Christ! Oh, sorry, make that MOHAMED...his followers are gettin' their rocks off by stoning people and setting fires EVERY day.
