Starving in the Grocery Store.

We live in a strange world.  There is plenty of everything. There is enough for everyone.  Yet Kadizzle was saddened yesterday when he read about how many people are scheduled to starve to death.  The other morning old Kadizzle happened to watch a program on how a Rolls Royce was built.  For some rich guy people are spending days building the custom made front for the radio.  Hours and hours are spent to make sure the rich guy has something no one else has.  All this while people are starving.  Now we have the good Republican Christians who say this gives people jobs building castles.  Remember when the slave owners said how much they improved the lives of Africans?  You can get your Rolls Royce in 44,000 different colors, but the guy who is going to starve cannot even get his choice of something to eat.  Ah yes, greed, it is so essential.  I must have more. I must have a bigger better one.  The guy with the biggest fastest is the best human.  Jimmy Carter the old president is going around building houses for poor people, he is a loser.  Trump the conniving, lying scoundrel is our hero.

We need schools, hospitals, drug treatment centers, jobs, and on the list goes, but what will we build first?  A wall, yup a wall.  The wall will keep Mexicans from coming to our country and putting up sheet rock, putting shingles on or roof and fixing us some good tacos.  We are drunk on greed, selfishness, paranoia, and ignorance.  How did we get this way?  Someone realized you can sell fear, fantasy, and entertainment.  Fox news showed the way, Rush chipped in.  

Now all this is not new.  Religion has been scaring the hell out of people for a long time.  Religion is was and probably will always be the mother of all cons.  You scare people that God is going to be pissed and fry them.  Next you tell people the best protection is to give the church a few bucks.  The church invented the idea of sit down, shut up, pay up, and die with a smile.  You just don’t question the church.  Nor do you question Fox, Pope Trump, or Rush.   Why would Jesus, Rush, or Hannity lie to you?  Well somehow they all got your money.

Don’t worry about any of this.  Go over to the gas station and get your lottery ticket.  You are bound to win.  Once you win, you can order that Rolls Royce and ignore all those people starving.  You can buy such a big flat screen TV that you will see Hannity life size.  Now, since you are reeking with cash you will need tax breaks.  Donate to the Republican party.  Go down to the coffee shop and let everyone know the welfare cheats are after the lottery money you won.  Life is great, it all makes sense.  You have to feel sorry not for those people starving, but for the dumbasses that never went to the gas station to get their lottery ticket.
