I sort of just fool myself into believe even in my weak-assed silent agreement with the post I am "with the movement" and "doing something." And like, I know this is the wrong way to think, and all, but another part of me doesn't really give a shit. And I sort of laugh at everyone else who "actually participates" even if only to "like" the post they have no intention to comply with. And even though the entire country is going to corporate owned hell in a hand-basket, I'm sort of in a daze like a dead fish on a dock about it. I could give a fuck. I only pretend to be "for democracy" and it's amusing to me that I feel that way. Hey? Did you see Idol last night?
