Eddie Vedder has about the best protest song I’ve heard during the troubles…
It goes through several of the top guns in George W. Bush-league’s administration, saying:
“Here’s to the land you tore out the heart of…”
and
“[official name] go find another country to be part of.”
This pretty much sums up my feeling about our asshole president and his cast of thieves. Unlike Michelle Obama, I cannot be proud of this country as long as those pricks lord over us.
OK… so now Yahoo is taking all sorts of heat for wanting to remain independent of Microsoft’s grip. Is it so true that the highest form of corporate existence is to be acquired by a bigger company?
While we’re all familiar with smaller fish getting eaten by bigger fish and smaller animals falling prey to larger animals, it isn’t clear to me that being so consumed is the highest purpose of each animal. If so, then there would have to be something at the end of it all, eating the big fish… and I doubt that humanity is it.
This leads me to an alternative theory of god – one where god is the next bigger evolutionary creature. God’s purpose is to consume us, just like we consume fish and animals, who consume other fish and animals. Could that be it? We’re just a link in god’s food chain?
