Usually I'm the last person to post song lyrics. But as I age (shut up, you!), I mellow a tiny bit, and sure, these may not mean much to YOU any more than the lyrics to some Saliva song mean to me, but since it's my journal, frell it.

Anyway, this one kinda hit me, I'm not really sure why. It's about wonder, loneliness and pain and has a tiny twist in it.

However, since not everyone likes Filk, I'm being nice and including this handy cut-tag to hide the beauty of Cynthia McQuillen from those not worthy to see her work. )

Ok, since we all know I'm not racist (those who don't know me personally, just accept this.), I'm going to come out and say this.

In discussions of class structure in our world, and when discussing the plight of "developing" nations, has no one considered that the reason so many nations are so economically screwed isn't racism, but the fact they make monumentally stupid decisions?

An example: North Korea won't let their politics get out of the way of US companies who want to help them build their infrastructure up. They won't accept help from South Korea, either. Then they whine that US nationalism is the reason they're essentially frelled.

China, too. "Oh, the Communist Party will make us all wealthy and prosperous! Oh, wait, no it didn't. Oh. Well, it's AMERICA'S FAULT!! They don't like us!"

Hell, come to think of it, this applies to our own morons, too. Like teenagers. "I can't get a job! It's white/upper-class/establishment/corporate America keeping us down!" No, it bloody well isn't, you freaking moron! It's you. Yes, you have the right to not wash your hair. You even have the right to fifty (or more) piercings in various and sundry places around your body. You have the right to cover your entire arms -- or anything else -- in the most ugly tattoos ever drawn, too. That does not mean anyone has to hire you once you've done these things. Take out some of the piercings, get off your ass, and get a damned job. If you can't be bothered to do THAT, then at least stop asking me for money; I haven't got any to spare.

GAH!

Humans annoy the hez'mana out of me.

Note: No, not all people with piercings/tattoos are covered by this. Some of them have jobs and support themselves, and they're just dandy.
