War continues to rage in Georgia. I read a figure stating that the Georgian troops were hugely overmatched, tallying roughly 21,000 troops compared to an oppressive 400,000 Russian troops (along with about 7,000 "militarized vehicles" or tanks).
Georgian soldiers : Russian tanks :: 3 : 1
ERSTWHILE,
The world press spotlight continues to shine superficially bright on the 2008 BEIJNG OLYMPICS, one of the most egregious displays of hypocrisy in the history of the modern hominid. For real. China has consistently and unabashedly committed some of /if not/ THE most atrocious human rights violations ever, and we are giving them a pavlovian treat; effectively handing them the pole position as a world power. We all know that this is part of a trend, that only undernourished India can compete with China's huge, globally irresponsible population spike, but now our media networks are lauding them, confirming the passing of the torch.
And they built walls in front of all things that did not meet the aesthetic quota. Holy Shit. Its the old 'spit-the-broccoli-into-the-napkin-during-dinner' trick. And we are buying every cent of it.
As long as the untapped markets in china are soon (or now) to be exploited by our top 1%, all the logistics just dont matter. Lets all get sickeningly deplorably rich and say "fuck it" to the idea of our grandchildren enjoying paper products, the beauty of the wilderness, and fresh air...Because now the ugly impotent glib top-of-one-percenters will all now know how it feels to be the cool guy who can get girls the old fashioned way.
There are bigger fish to fry than these negligibly important athletic feats, and while we are crazed by the idea that Mike Phelps might outswim Andrew Spitz, poor europeans and iraqis and AMERICANS are being bombed into oblivion for unjust reasons; News hardly worth of page 19...
...GET IT TOGETHER GUYS!
