A New World Epidemic of Evil Jokers.

     The latest senseless massacre of movie goers seeing the premier of the new batman flick “The Dark Knight Rises,” by alleged gunman and part time evil maniac, James Holmes, in Aurora, Colorado, has once again brought to the World’s attention the modern trend of seemingly normal, if maybe a little weird individuals losing total touch with reality and going bat shit nuts on the rest of humanity for no apparent rational reason.    

     Here is a brief rundown of just a few of the most notable mass shootings in the last five years: July 20, 2012 – James Holmes, alleged “Joker killer,” shoots 58 killing 12 in Aurora, Colorado, at a crowded movie theater.- Motivation : He’s the Joker? July 22, 2011 – Anders Behring Breivik, kills 77 as he massacres a youth camp in Norway. Motivation: Doesn’t like Muslims. Nov. 5, 2009 – Maj. Nidal Hasan, kills 13 troops and civilians at Fort Hood, Texas. Motivation: Bad career choice? April 16, 2007 – Seung – Hui Cho, kills 32 fellow students and staff at the Virginia tech. campus in Blacksburg, VA. Motivation: Student life in America is to stressful compared to South Korea?

     None of the motivations listed above, or in the news, and especially in the shooters minds,  can possibly justify the insanity of their terrible actions. So when did their insanity start, why were the warning signs ignored or tolerated; in some cases by their future victims. I think the answer to that question partly lies in our freedom of expression and right to easily and quietly buy as much weapons as we can afford. These important rights and privileges as Americans also have a tendency to bite us in the ass at the least expected moments; like when we decide to enjoy a good movie at the theater with our friends and families. The other sad blame also has to fall on the people who decide to throw rational reality aside and become the evil villains they always dreamed of being, inflicting all their self-loathing’s, short comings, and insecurities on the innocents around them. They do this in order to show us the power inside them, that they felt we as a society intentionally ignored all their lives. They will sit in their prison cells for the rest of their life sentences in solitary confinement with a goofy grin on their face telling themselves over and over agian throughout the years how they finally showed us, having crossed too far into fantasy to ever truly return to the terrible reality they have inflicted on themselves and others.

Is being fat going to be a crime?

      The newest report on American obesity has come out from the Trust for American Health and the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation stating that not one state in the union has seen a decrease in the epidemic of obesity in this country. This fact is no surprise to me in our new modern society of spoiled decadence. The culminations of our greed are manifesting itself in our children and our cats in the form of gluttony. This being said, this is our right of prosperity as a country and the promise we made when we told the world, “Give us your Poor, your huddled masses yearning to breathe free, and then giving them the promise of food, conning them into getting off one boat, just to get back on another to fight for a civil war they didn’t even belong to.  The “smart ones” we singled out, (mostly good looking women) to stay in New York and work for below minimum wage. This was the foundation of our immigration policy then as it is now, and all of a sudden we have the audacity to scold them for enjoying the food they were promised.  Now I recognize the need to take the soda pop vending machines out of the grade schools; those machines were just a blatant attempt to make quick untraceable cash for strapped under paid Principles from children with modern access to their parent’s cash flow.

     The newest social hype now promoted by posturing politicians who claim to have the best interest in our nations fatties, is to fuel social hysteria about America's growing obesity problem in a poorly veiled attempt to gain votes from the skinny. The newest form of this practice in politics comes from New York’s current mayor, Michael R.Bloomberg. His plan is to ban large sugary drinks over 16 oz. from fast food franchises, sports arenas, etc., and who knows where else next. What’s funny about his supreme imperial majesties logic is that it’s OK to drink a 32 oz. beer but not a 32 oz. coke. This is a great example of our modern bureaucracy at its finest. I can just envision a patriotic New Yorker in the movie theater, sitting there with his 16 oz. mountain dew and his extra-large, extra butter bucket of popcorn feeling content that he took a big bite out of our nation’s growing fat problem, while the mayor of New York sits in his wood paneled office feeling confident he's winning the battle on American obesity.
