Equinox Equilibration

Ah, spring. The Feds have repaid my loan to them. They kept the interest of course. Why am i grateful as if it weren't my money to start with? The state has not been so forthcoming. I am pissed about that because it is my money to start with. More entitled than third generation welfare recipients. I could rant, but don't need homeland sodomy to have more reasons to poke around or crawl further in. Two thoughts occur, however. I shall number them for easy reference in case observations are criminalized. (1) If i did my job as poorly and corruptly as the government does, i would be living in a tent in the woods, eating what i could grow, scavenge or trap. I definitely wouldn't get a raise, pension or health benefits. Or indoor plumbing. Perhaps they shouldn't either.  (2) Since this government is of, by and for the people, and does not function for anyone who can't pay it off, then perhaps it is no longer our government at all. Perhaps it is time for a change. They use social issues and fear to distract us from the fact that it is not their job to legislate or micro-manage our lives. They then hope no one notices they are not doing their jobs except when it suits them and the lobbyists and corporations who got them their jobs and pull all the strings. They can't pass a budget in years, which is how they know how much revenue they need, but they can vilify the mentally ill and discuss gun violence. Buy more crap to keep the economy going and you so in debt or close to the edge that you don't have time to notice the shaft up your butt or the fact that you have no power to remove it. Occupy was fun, but lacked cohesion and the sort of focus and money needed to overthrow or really change anything.
That should do it. I suppose i'll need lubricant for the flags i may have just raised. I am not saying the militias and crazies should do anything. I am saying that the social contract is broken and so is our ability to do jack about it. And it is that point that i find most annoying. Why do they even ask us to vote if the lobbyists are running the show anyway? It really doesn't matter who we elect. Think about it. But then realize that that is all you can do. By design.
The rest is just bread and circuses.
