And this only scratches the surface. Imagine the desperation of the #Amazon warehouse workers making half the wages and working in dangerously hot facilities being driven to work 80 hour weeks with no OT pay and no chance for advancement. America has become such a scary place of indifference, apathy and wage slavery.
I’m connected to the world through Facebook, Twitter and other Internet social networks.
In comparison to the news we get on the television I feel like I am living in *The Land That Time Forgot*. Everything on the TV is a rehashed mishmash of old news and irrelevant bullshit.
I am SO sick of hearing about Hillarity Clintoon and The Agolf Twitler. On the other hand, there is an insane mix of information about all the nonsense politics on the Internet and it is difficult to separate the myth from reality.
I am very disappointed that people are hoodwinked about most of the political chicanery going on and we have so many months to go before we have another coronation.

In conjunction with my little soap box tirade above I also want to share my viewpoint about “attitude”. So many times people assert that pointing out the negative aspects of somebody or something is evidence of a bad attitude, being a negative person or having a bad “mood” all the time. Not so.
A well balanced #Curmudgeon can complain about the state of society or the shortcomings of certain people and be perfectly cheerful about it.
The truth may hurt but it doesn’t have to automatically reflect some malicious intent. Especially when most of us realize in our heart of hearts the underlying truths.
Hillarity IS a liar. Twitler IS a buffoon. That doesn’t mean I am insulting the people who support them but if they are insulted perhaps that inner voice speaks to them.
I am not insulted to be called an overweight old white guy. Nor am I insulted to be called a curmudgeon. But I do get insulted when people think me “negative” for simply pointing out some unpleasant truth.
