The Red Dragon gets on her high, grassfed horse

Alright, marvellous, swine flu. That's just fucking fantastic. 10-to-1 odds I'm offering that the virus started in the southern US, in one of those massive, moronly inhumanely crowded and insalubrious feedlots/abattoirs where they illegally employ Mexicans in their thousands to make sure your typical North American Anglo asshole can have meat that's cheap enough to eat two or three times a day, fuelling their massive fucking waistlines and their health insurance companies' massive fucking profits.

You know, one of those situations where everybody is happy (except for the animals, and one assumes the disenfranchised and underpaid illegal workers, though frighteningly perhaps the alternative employments available are worse), especially those selfish assholes who pretend to be libertarian whenever there's any sort of governmental suggestion of interfering with their mammoth appetites - the sort of selfish asshole that, in my experience, Canada and the US produce record numbers of. The sort of gargantuan, stupid prick who trots out the line like 'next they'll be trying to ban red meat, WHERE WILL IT ALL END?' whenever there's a move towards banning smoking in public spaces or raising sin taxes or something of the sort.

Look, you stupid fucking cunts, where it should end is that I don't get a fucking pandemic so that you can eat cheap pig twice a day, every fucking day of your futile, parasitic lives that serve no immediately visible purpose aside from being a spend-happy consuming cog in a large, soulless capitalist machine that's already caused international damage you obviously haven't been educated to appreciate. Where it should end is that domestic animals don't have to live in shit-caked conditions that would fit without much alteration into the Inferno - in conditions that are both inhumane (if you have soul enough to care) and incredibly fucking unhealthy (which you would care about if you weren't a goddamn cretin, considering that sort of lack of hygiene and overcrowding are the perfect conditions for the genesis of virulent disease).

Fuck! It pisses me off. To rip off a line from Margaret Atwood, why does my veggie household have to pay with our 'freedom froms' (pandemics, in this case) for your 'freedom tos' (be a big fat cheap cholesterol-burdened fuckwit, in this case)? Okay, it was a dystopian novel. But capitalism itself is getting so dystopic that unless we find a voluntary way to balance our 'freedom froms' and our 'freedom tos' now, things are going to get so stupid and chaotic that a bunch of people who figure they know best will find a way to take all our freedoms away.

By the way, you goddamn 'libertarian' babies, it's only in the last two years I've lived in a place that didn't outright ban my appetite of choice, and somehow I managed to get by for a decade without particularly feeling my human rights were being trampled on because I had to act mildly furtive when I bought pot in the supermarket from the dealer who worked at the deli counter. Fucking grow some balls. There's an entire drug-addicted subculture around you who's gone on happily getting fucked up despite their governments outlawing the things they like best, and they're on drugs, for fuck's sake. You're straight and you're still scared of the big fat government? Oh, boo hoo for poor little you. Fucking whiny losers. Fuck.

well said.

Thanks. By the way, while I'm thinking about my friendly neighborhood deli-dealer back home - you've probably already tried marijuana for the migraines, right?

Hilts ha detto...

that would be illigal in Illinois

guilty noodles ha detto...

Hilts, you dogooder. Stop with your facade.

I haven't tried the big M because I have an awful reaction to it... think fish out of water, flopping around and gasping for air. I've heard medicinal m is better, but as Hilt's said, it's not legal here. I know I could probably head up to Michigan for a quick vacay and try it out, but I'd have to make sure I have enough valium to sedate me if all goes wrong.

Thanks for the thought though.

Don't people often eat it for medical things? I don't know if that would be better or worse though.

guilty noodles ha detto...

I didn't consider it... it's a good idea.

My husband teaches high school and there was a mass memo sent out t the faculty to not accept ANY baked goods from students on 4/20. I found the whole thing to be amusing and was planning on baking an entire tray of brownies for his department to see if anyone would bite. Never got around to it though...

Dread Pirate Jessica ha detto...

Hah! If students are in a position to waste pot on their teachers, I'm fucking jealous.

I hope something works for the migraines in any case. I can hardly imagine a more unwelcome chronic condition that doesn't involve bits of one falling off.

my husband teaches at a wealthy school. the administrators poop money.

i know, i have nothing to show for my illness. just plain bitchiness.

Dread Pirate Jessica ha detto...

That's crazy, my man is also a teacher at a wealthy highschool where money is pooed.

But pot is too legal to be interesting in Belgium and 4:20 generally doesn't exist in Europe - except in my heart.

guilty noodles ha detto...

we have so much in common... men teaching at poopy high schools, potty mouth and diy.

fabulous. i love having cyber friends. they're so much better than real friends.

Dread Pirate Jessica ha detto...

Quieter, for one!
