go back to sleep. everything is ok

I'm curious... Is there anyone out there that thinks everything is ok?  Most people I know complain but adapt, as if they have no control over anything.  Some people know things are messed up and fight hard to correct it any way they can.  Many are in denial and don't have a clue.  A special few have the power to change things for the better but lack a plan or aren't aware of the power they possess.  There are others out there, that we don't know, who are desperately trying to fix things because they see a shit storm on the horizon aimed directly at them.

I'm of the opinion this universe is the one you created.  If that's the case, I either need many years of therapy for the chaos I inflicted, or this is all someone else's doing and these perpetrators are shifting the blame on the victims.

At any rate, it seems the core of all our problems, whether it's financial, personal, spiritual, emotional, or mental, is caused by governments.  It doesn't matter that the elite few who rule the world tell the governments what to do.  The governments are the visible means of control and it's their policies that keep fucking things up for the whole planet.

Corporatism replaced our representative form of government and the evidence is everywhere.  The revolving door between government regulators and corporations is so commonplace you can't tell who is working for who.  One day you're FCC pushing through a Comcast NBC merger.  The next you're a Comcast lobbyist and no one sees a conflict of interest.

This pretty much explains everything.  If corporations can tell the government what to do, they'll rob the treasury because the only thing corporations are interested in is money.  If corporations can make more profit on war than peace, you can bet the farm we'll be in perpetual war if they have a say in it.  They'll invent reasons for war and you'll believe it because the news media is run by corporations.  When corporations make the laws, they're made to protect corporate interests to ensure corporate profits.  Does this make the concept "too big to fail" easier to understand?

I know a guy who thinks capitalism is God's gift to America and anyone who wants it can be in the billionaires club and GW Bush did everything the right way.  I used to wonder why he chose to labor in a factory instead of being a billionaire.  I also wondered why he voted for Reagan.

I wonder if he thinks everything is still ok.
