Barn-Burning Social Commentary

Post 28 and I'm doin' great. Best regards for reading another installment of my blog.

I just heard over the radio about several companies selling an upside down Christmas tree. Well folks, the pricetag I guess is what first caught my attention. At 300-500 dollars each fully lit... that seems a bit pricey to me. Why buy an upside down Christmas tree in the first place? First the trendyness of it. Sure you can be normal and have the point of the tree point to the ceiling and have a star or angel on top like many classic 50's movies we've seen oh too many times. I mean trees actually grow that way. For sooth that we humans don't like the way nature has things grow. Then again there are different "fruit salad" trees being sold out there. All thanks to the mad-science of vivisection.

But the shape isn't what really bothers me. Its not the cost that bothers me. Even disite the fact that its a mockery of the traditional christmas tree, no not even that. The thing that bothers me is the purpose it was designed... fit more presents under the tree. Yeah for shame they just couldn't put the tree on top of a magical "santa box" so it'd stand a bit above the floor. No we have to find a really expensive way to express our need to keep slathering our whole year's insome on extranagent gifts on family, loved ones, and/or friends with a gift i'm pretty sure they won't be using a week later. This leaves an obvious segway in which i can complain about the very comercialization about Christmas... the de-moralization, and taking Christ out of it altogether. I'm sorry but a Charlie Brown Christmas just doesn't teach the kids the religious aspects of the birth of Christ. They just stare at the poorly detailed 4-fingered kids and even let their eyes lose focus. Well, that's what I'm told anyways.

So yes, I'm not getting any of my friends gifts again. Don't like it? Meh.

Another radio induced complaint I have today is those "vehicular donation" ads you constantly hear. "1-877 cars fir kids..." Yeah that one... then quickly came one for the lung cancer people. Well, I'm all for finding a cure for these horrible diseases and donation one's car is a great way to do that. However, they feed of that very annoyingness that they have. I mean they specifically mention that they are in fact annoying people. Then came the clincher... hopefully one day when they find a cure there's no longer a need for these ads.

One day? Seriously there are cures for cancer. However the pharmaceutical companies and their heavy influence on the doctor's wouldn't possibly let people know that. They have a responsibility to keep throwing out drugs that will lessen effects and causes others. The FDA of course will shut down any organization that makes such a claim to cure anything because according to their very bylaws "only a drug can cure or treat a disease." You know how many millions it takes for a drug to become available on the market? A whole lot more money than we'll ever see. They even tried to get vitamin C considered a drug so they could overcharge and "regulate" it.

Well folks thanks I've lifted a lot of this bs that was on my chest, but don't take my word for it. Check out the facts for yourself. Don't listen to the mainstream media either.
