Embedded Assumptions
West Seattle, August 2007
On the front cover of a local newspaper today there was an article about a siren that emits a high pitched noise that would be used to deter teenagers from loitering in parking lots of shopping malls.
Looking around one can inevitably see that new condos are being developed so all of the worker bees can live there during the evenings after their slave shifts - a byproduct of this growth is that parks for the teenagers to play in are not keeping up with this growth, honey. And some kids growing up in these condos sure as hell don't want to be stuck inside all night while their GM hormones are flaring up. This particular group of kids are fortunate to evade the video games and movies and reality shows by going outside to see how fake everything is in our modern world. Tangent again.
Really though, sirens. Fucking sirens. If that technique becomes common and it doesn't wake up the kids to what is going on in their hand me down world, then perhaps they don't deserve to hear anything anyway.
Keep those iPod's on and remove the sounds of the world.
Keep those sunglasses on and don't look me in the eye.
Keep that sucralose in your mouth so your food can be sweeter.
Keep the gag ball in your mouth to lose your voice.
And hey, one more sense left. Might as well get whipped by some monster with leather pants on while you are at it and get desensitized to love of the flesh.
Let's be cyborgs already and get it over with.

Singularity
Driving to a remote location on the edge of the country that has traditionally been inhabited by transients and hippies one can begin to notice the amount of old style VW wagons on the road. If you look closely within the vehicles you will see the unshaven rugged wannabe young dudes (all the young dudes!) and their surfboards along with some hot braided sexy smelly hippy chicks. Those chicks are around every generation and can make the world go round I tell ya. Another story for the another day.
What is NOT around every generation is the VW wagon. Seriously people, come on. The sixties fucking called and wants their wagons back. Do you guys honestly think you are the first ones to do this? Get a hybrid (great way to increase automotive sales for those fatcats that ignore the melting planet, those things, yet another story) or hitch hike if you really want to live that independent freewheeling life. Because you are just repaving a trail that was paved a long time ago when you drive your wagons.
Come on kids, start your own revolution. The library of freedom says you're overdue.
