I'm Starting to Feel
3/20/2005
That perhaps the human race is incapable of rational decisions. After reading the news this weekend (esp. about the 2nd Anniversary of the Iraq War, and the Alaskan Refuge oil drilling), it's all starting to seem rather hopeless. When the very people who are supposed to be practicing stewardship, responsibility and compassion INSTEAD vote to rape one of the last wild places on earth for oil and profit, it's only a matter of time before we pass the point of no return.
I'm starting to lose hope in people. Dammit, I can't give into those feelings of hopelessness, but what can a person do when, all around them, the whole planet is turning to shit?
This country, this planet, is losing its soul to the sick, monstrous vampires we voted to the top. And our ambivalence and ignorance does nothing but spread their message across the world. When it's all said and done, we are ALL responsible if we let it go down just because a handful of wealthy religious nutcases have their own interpretation of how things should be run. Fuck that. Fuck them.
I'm angry. Very angry. And I'm certain my music is going to begin reflecting that. When I get round to working on new material, it's going to be angry. Not like anything I've done before. Probably not very relaxing, but what can I do with this anger that I'm feeling besides construct it into something useful? A giant, musical middle finger to the sick, perverted wingnuts who think they can turn evolution upside down and take us all down with them.
