nastiest entry ever: my cuntry wrong or wrong

2004-11-17 / 1:52 p.m.
so fucked UP! i went to some conference thing for work yesterday, and lou gossett jr. was the keynote speaker. BEFORE and AFTER his address he asked the audience to stand up and join him in reciting the pledge of allegiance. huh?

i wanted to stand with the others. i wanted to say:
"i pledge allegiance to the flag, michael jackson is a fag. pepsi cola burnt him up, now he's drinking seven up...."

he didn't even recite it right. he left out the whole indivisible part. of course i sat, because i refuse to stand and recite the flag pledge like a fucking sheep.

it was very uncomfortable. i could feel my face flush. i just refuse to stand and pledge to the yankee swastika -(thanks jello biafra). i cannot in good conscience declare pride for a country that treats its own citizens like shit and tries to weasel its way into other countries to perpetuate the treating like shit cycle. its gross.

i'm sure some of you are thinking,

"why don't you just fucking leave this country if you hate it so much?"

i can't. i'm in debt, and cannot afford it. i'm in debt because i'm "free". no one told me it was all a lie until it was too late, and now i'm in the frying pan of working class slavery for the rest of my goddamn life.

another illusion: "well at least here, you can say that you hate this country. people went to war to fight for your right to do that. quit bitching"

no they didn't. they fought for corporate greed. war makes money. my daddy was shipped of to da nang at 17 and came back a walking fucking zombie. he has never been properly taken care of. i had to live with that baggage until i left home. don't try to convince me that any other war is different.

"and i'm proud to be an american
where i got a credit card. and i'll charge, charge, and charge again, 'cause i'm a big retard..."

my country wrong or wrong. my country tis of thee, rank taste of bigotry. leaders don't give a flying fuck about anything except for making money and squashing the rest of us.
