Let's hope we get our shit together in 2010

We should be thinking about 2009 as a year that accomplished the unthinkable - a president of the united states who didnt fit the mold. The orator who still seems to smart to be president. (Side note to Pres. Obama - Just what exactly are you thinking. It seems lately that you are reading words from papers that are not your own and you are not convincing) However, even in a time of "greatness" it becomes more apparent how screwed we really are:

1) China is the worlds superpower. When China's premier sulked out of the Copenhagen meeting it became evident that coupled with the US dependence on paying back the trillions to China and capitalist obsession with cheap useless items, that one of the oldest countries in the world is no longer third world, but our world.

2) Americans simply dont care that millions of other Americans will die. It's true. Of course it is not every American, but this so called health care reform is exactly the type of thing that citizens should get their right to bare arms and hands to give the finger to the insurance companies who control who lives and who dies.

3) Anti-social networking. Somehow we are becoming creatures who instead of communicating with real people, we need devices to communicate with real people. A strange species who spends their time looking into little rectangles.

2010 can be a new start. It wont change the three things that became painfully obvious in 2009, but what it does mean is that if we dont get our shit together we are going to lose the so-called freedoms that we hold onto. It is not news to say that corporations control governments. But what should be a concern is that our governments are being controlled by corporations to control us. For 2010, we need to learn Mandarin, get rid of Liebermann and other slime democrats, and talk to each other in person.
