Bubble wrapped
Author: velveeta jones    Date: 08/10/2008 12:04:23

It is with profound sadness that I inform those of you reading this, that there are many in America that live in a bubble. They do not have the ability to think for themselves; indeed, they have no idea what logic is, and are too apathetic to inquire and analyze information with any sound reasoning. Sadly, their means of problem solving often resort to name-calling, brawls, character assassination and even war.

What is like to live in a bubble, unable to have any critical thought? To form your dishwater strength opinions from the likes of FOX News, Toby Keith and Larry the Cable Guy? And what's his last name anyway? Would he be addressed as Mr. Cable Guy or Mr. Guy?

Anyway, Velveeta is on a mission to investigate the causes of this affliction that affects so many of my fellow Countrymen. Here are just a few of the symptoms of living in a bubble: hypocrisy, apathy, Groupthink and a false sense of security that a corporation, Politician or big box store can save you. The diagnosis can be bleak: you could become a complete drooling imbecile, or worse, a Republican. Becoming a republican can lead to even worse troubles, heart disease, high blood pressure, ulcers and closeted homosexual tendencies.

Here is an example of something that could be a potential problem. I do this as a public service in the interest of alerting my readers so that they can take precautions and protect themselves from infection.

Let’s say you're a Christian. Certainly nothing wrong there! Lets say you also enjoy motorcycles. Again, no problem; motorbikes can be a fun hobby and even more so in these days of skyrocketing gas prices, a reliable source of transportation. Let’s say you want to combine the two. Um, okay, still no real problem. Ride bikes with your Christian friends, so far all-good. Now lets say you want to start a Christian Motorcycle Gang (aka MC). Whoops! You may have just crossed a line here!

Sure, you can blame society; but a “motorcycle gang” has a bad rap. Try as you might, you’ll probably not be able to change that image. Not that there’s anything wrong in trying, mind you. But, if you were to start an MC, perhaps you shouldn’t carry yourself in the image of modern day motorcycle hoodlums; you know, “colors”, gang insignia and clothing, getting into barroom brawls, etc. And certainly you should not fight with, and attempt to kill, members of the Hells Angels!

Here is an case in point that shows us what happens when we don’t use our God-given brains to think and act logically, and succumb to of the signs of groupthink and hypocrisy:

Five members of a Christian motorcycle gang were charged Friday with a variety of felony weapons and gang crimes after high-profile raids this week targeting the Anaheim-based group.

The charges marked a retreat from Wednesday, when authorities arrested seven members of the Set Free Soldiers, including founder and pastor Phillip Aguilar, on charges of conspiracy to commit murder. An eighth member was arrested on suspicion of attempted murder.

The charges were in connection with a double stabbing during a bar brawl with the Hells Angels late last month. Police said Set Free members stabbed two Hells Angels and one Hells Angel struck a Set Free member in the head with a pool ball.

Phillip and Matthew Aguilar also were charged with possessing brass knuckles.

All five were accused of street terrorism for being part of a criminal street gang.

One Hells Angel member, John Lloyd, 41, also was charged with having a loaded firearm in a vehicle.

Additional charges may be filed, said Deputy District Atty. Erik Petersen, adding that the Set Free Soldiers are a violent street gang because "they carry on a pattern of criminal gang activity."

Set Free members say they are a Christian ministry that helps rehabilitate ex-convicts and recovering drug addicts. But authorities maintain that they are an outlaw motorcycle gang.


Ministering while stabbing and brawling in bars could be perceived as hypocritical. I don’t think you’ll get any converts nor would Jesus approve.

Now lets take a short test to judge your critical thinking ability, shall we? Its just one question and not difficult at all. Question: Is it fair that insurance companies cover Viagra for men, but will not cover Birth Control pills for women?

Here’s a few actual facts to help you decide. Viagra is taken by men who presumably have difficultly achieving erections, so that they can have a healthy and normal sex life, including, having babies. Birth Control pills can prevent pregnancies. They can also be prescribed for a myriad of related issues such as to reduce extreme pelvic pain, Peri-menapausal symptoms, Uterine bleeding, osteoporosis and even some cancers. The estrogen in birth control pills maintains or improves bone density (osteoporosis prevention) during perimenopause, when bone loss begins to increase. And, long-term use of birth control pills helps prevent endometrial cancer and ovarian cancer.

Now, your answer doesn’t really count here. But, in order to pass this test, you will need an answer. Unlike this guy who wants to lead our country, but can’t seem to think of anything!

Readers, be forewarned! Those that want to infect you with this horrible malady are out there! This is no X-Files fantasy propaganda, this is the real deal. Here is a peek into one of there latest methods of lulling you into bitter apathy and hypocrisy:

“John Edwards cheated on his wife”! (Gasp)

Shocking, yes. But have you heard that this, while certainly wrong, has also been committed by a man even closer to the Presidency: John McCain? He has cheated at least once. And it led to a divorce. There is also speculation by some, though certainly not by the media, that he has cheated on his current wife (the one he cheated with during his first marriage) with a Lobbyist named, Vicki Iseman.

Your Corporate Media is all over this story. I mean the one about John Edwards. Shocking that a man that close to the Oval Office - at least 4 delegates close - could deceive us like that! Meanwhile, over in John McCain la-la Land, his wife du mois has been vetted by her husband to secure a position in a lewd, topless “beauty” contest. Not much press about that either.

Nice!

I leave you with this thought for your safety in the battle against living in a bubble: The world we have created is a product of our thinking; it cannot be changed without changing our thinking. ~Albert Einstein

Now, go read a book.
