Malcom's Journal Entry 2: Heard Joke Once
Jon Malcom
Written 7-24-2012
Newb goes into doctor. Says he's depressed. Says life seems harsh and cruel. Says he feels all alone in a threatening world where what lies ahead is vague and uncertain. Says he doesn't understand the media or why he can't get ahead in anything.
Doctor says "Treatment is simple. The President of the United States is in town tonight talking about our future of America. Go and see him. That should pick you up."
Man bursts into tears. Says "But, Doctor...I am the future of America."
Good joke.
Everybody laugh.
Roll on snare drum.
Curtains.
I saw joke once, joke was on an ad. Said I could start or end a war, said I could be president or congressman and make a better world.
Saw joke once, joke said I was important and my vote counted on issues.
Heard joke once, it was government radio.
It's getting colder outside, better pull on an extra coat.
In a lot of ways I have always known this game mirrors RL in it's incompetence. But like a fungus the incompetence in politics seems to grow quite fast.
Why is it we jump to war because things aren't exciting? Why do we blame other countries for our own actions? Who gave us the right to jump in and liberate anything?
No one did. You hear me? No one.
It's getting more and more clear that friends and enemies are just convenient for a time in this game, but after that, if you're not needed too bad. See ya. End of story.
Of course we'll never heard the end of the utter BS that so and so fired on so and so. Or that it was really this guy's fault over here. It doesn't matter, nothing is hopeless...not while there's life.
I'm standing in front of my closet now, old military uniform with patches on it. I remember those days, long time ago, but I can still remember those days. Where at least when the govt hated you it wasn't made public.
I think I'll run my fingers over the patch for a little bit, feel the fabric. It's always good to remember the good ol days right?
Remember the days of national pride? Or how about the days of brothers fighting together? It’s always easy to stab a friend in the back but not so easy to help a friend up, because that takes work and trust. Two things the eUS isn’t very good at anymore.

And now we have a supposed crisis?
The country that invades other countries to teach them a lesson and "liberate them" from their bad governments has a crisis? A $69.00 dollar crisis?!
One way we will never get Canada back is to talk to them like they are a little child. They are their own country. Evry and his administration have handled this situation the worst way possible. Evry is a disgrace as a president and so are those who have stood with him as he pushes delusions in his paper. I personally have dropped over 200K in damage for Canada against my own country. I am not a terrorist and before you call me one please click here to read the dictionary definition of a terrorist.
I simply fought for the country that was still sane.
Don't feed me and the rest of America the lie that we have a crisis.
When you go to the bar every Friday and wind up puking your guts out on the lawn Saturday is that a crisis?
No, it's a habit and a habit with a lot of power is an addiction.
The only way you'll ever read this article is because I had to have a group vote it up enough to get exposure! It used to be where we would write great articles and those got voted up because of content.
Plain and simple we live in a country where power and attention have become god.
Bow down and worship if that's what you want.
Remember this, nothing is hopeless...not while there's life.
There’s still one more entry to this journal.
On a side note you'll be able to hear my terrorism rant via the radio because Dirty Scarlet Silverbead and I go back to the radio next month.

The e-world is so full of people, so crowded with these miracles that they become commonplace and we forget... I forget. We gaze continually at the e-world and it grows dull in our perceptions. Yet seen from another's vantage point, as if new, it may still take our breath away. Come... dry your eyes. For you are life, rarer than a quark and unpredictable beyond the dreams of Heisenberg; the clay in which the forces that shape all things leave their fingerprints most clearly. Dry your eyes...

You are right. But it will be read.
Some of us have been friends and subscribers for a very long time. We have laughed, bantered, teased, argued, ignored, listened, watched and e-known you forever.
I respect your opinion.
Nah bro, you're not a terrorist, just a traitor.
Other than that, decent article.
Yayyyyyyyyyyy WWW radio!!!!
Huh, glad my damage against Canada made up for your misguided damage. Manifest Destiny must be achieved and Nave must be avenged.
hah, that "joke" has been my profile sig. for the last week or so:

Great minds must think alike, or we're stuck in the same depressive rut. I'd rather approach it a la P. Quinn and believe we're just small miracles, rarer than a quark and unpredictable beyond the dreams of a Higgs boson, each playing a minor role in a divine comedy...and ain't it a good joke at that.
So it begins when MaskedMan tosses Mr. SmileyFace out a window...

Great stuff! Voted and shouted!
Good stuff
A real world joke about politicians is not to have a real option for this upcoming election... its a joke when a party becomes so extremist that chooses a guy who wants to implement the same economic recipe than G. W. Bush used and... wait for it... make people to believe that it's going to work this time.
[dry, witty retort to inflammatory remark]
Seems the Canadians can't take back their own regions >_>
our enconmy is getting weak and the government is taxing us too much that is the reason our job market is not stable that is why your salaries are going down.so vote to the consertive people's party we will bring solutions to the problems.now the current government is falling and broken it is time for a change
Thank you your honourable votes counts
Just a friendly tip to the new guys-
Some people in this game don't like RL being brought into it and can report you for it, so of you want to talk RL politics do it on external forums.
