So it is  Crazy World Wednesday. Today I just want to worn you that today's article will be entertainment through controversy. Please try to remember that if everybody agrees with you then it's probable not worth saying. fortunately for us America is more divided now than ever before so if you say the sky is blue somebody will be along shortly to tell you that the sky isn't blue and that by saying that the sky is blue, you are infringing on his rights and that if you continue to say the sky is blue he and his group are going to take you to court where the supreme court will tell you that even though the sky is blue 70% percent of the time where you live that you can only talk about this in the privacy of your home so people that say the sky grey will not be offended. Of course if you say the sky is orange the majority blue group the minority grey group are both going to tell you to shut up and lock you in the closet until you say the sky is either blue or grey but only in the privacy of your own home.

It doesn't matter whether your a Democrat or a Republican we all fall for the same crap every election and the media helps a lot. Now why would a news station help one candidate over another. The Answer is simple. The owner of the company that owns the station is wealthy and usually is invested in or owns multiple big companies So if they need a certain person that's going to look out for there best interest they just make sure that they report anything that could be considered bad about the other guy and then run it into the ground.

The worse thing about this is some of them own multiple stations. It's so common now that we make movies about it and put it in TV shows. Now of course some politicians do such stupid things that it can't be ignored and then of course they have to talk about it. Now I'll be the first one to tell you I don't watch the news all the time not because I know they are serving their own agenda but I just don't like to hear about all the violent crimes but with that being said I do keep current within a couple of days on most of the "big issue" news and if I don't the wife will soon inform me on my stupidity.

Now this might be difficult for some of you to put together just because of the amount of information that you process in one day between media, work, family, and home but have you ever noticed that when a news station doesn't want to talk about something they report the bare minimum and move on as fast as possible. I've seen them report an some really crazy things and then you never hear about it again then something minor happens and you can't get away from it. It's on the TV shows, the Radio, magazines, newspapers and yes there are the people that own all of them.

Even when they do report something it's very selective and confusing. You think why didn't they ask this or how come they didn't say that because they have been told not to. Hears how the politicians and media pull the wool over America's eyes the most. MISDIRECTION!  You wait until election season comes up and they will do the same thing they always do. None of the corruption or them slowly taking away all our rights so big companies can do what the want will be discussed at all. They'll talk about all the subjects that really are not important to government but  get your blood boiling.

And for years those subjects have been Gays, Abortion, Guns, Crime, and Foreign policy which really should be labeled where do we send our troops next. Now most of you are thinking right now those are important topics and I would agree but more important they are what divide this country and make our faces turn red but will never be settled no matter which side the law sits on. This is how we allow big private interest and corporations to run our country and basically get what ever they want.

A few years ago the American public fired lots of politicians in the house and senate but it didn't take long for those new guys to fall into place. I will put this as simple as I can. As long as politicians can make millions of dollars by selling out the American public we will get sold out. The only way to fix this is get rid of not just big money but all money except their salaries. Do you want to know where dirty politicians go after the American public fires them, directly to the companies that they sold you out to in the first place.

When the American public gets to close to what's really wrong with our government then all the main politicians and media start talking about something really important like how some politician got flustered while giving a speech in front of 35 people with a local news team on hand. Hey look over there those Gay people are trying to get married in your church. Hey be careful of that guy he believes in right to life. We need to take all the guns away because that would fix what's wrong with this country. I'm tough on crime I will put more people in jail and keep them there longer than he will. We have to attack that country because the people they are killing are more important then the ones over there.

I can tell you one thing with 100% surety from my own personal experience is that American Soldiers are fighting somewhere all the time weather you here about it or not and theirs big money in it. When we fight private industry makes billions.

Have you ever wondered why the government that Americans hates the  most is a dictatorship meaning even if they had an election their would only be one person on the ballot. And the best being our government, which is capitalist in case you were wondering, most of the time we get two. TWO! ARE YOU KIDDING ME! Its so bad now that a lot of companies don't really care who gets in office because they know that they will get their way no matter who's in office.

Did you know that America, Home of the Free, has more people in jail then any other country in the world including all those dictatorships that we hate so much. Now you probable did know that because enough of the fringe reporters that America doesn't really pay attention to have be ranting and raving long enough that it can no longer been ignored so just recently the main stream media has been reporting on it. I've known this for a long time. Oh don't get excited yet. The government is going to drag there feet on this one.

Now politicians are going to tell you this is because the war on drugs which is partially true, just remember the easiest way to tell a lie is to sprinkle it with some truth. The thing they are not going to tell you is that those drug laws and sentencing got so out of hand because private corporation took over the prison system. That's right rich people built huge prisons and then stuffed them to the gills with drug convictions. Why because they paid enough politicians enough money to pay them more for every prisoner then it would have cost the American government to house them. Who do you think pays for that. You do.

Don't get me wrong they did it the good old fashion way. First they started out with fear. Hey our prisons are falling apart and we don't have the money in the budget to fix them it's going to cost the American tax payer millions or billions whatever they figured out at the time. Next they went to solution. Hey we could get private companies to build the prisons and just pay them to take care of the prisoners. (Believe me when I tell you he didn't come up with this idea on his own.) It would save the tax payers billions. And that is exactly what they did. FYI (for your information.) Rich people don't do anything for the government unless it's a sure thing and if it's a sure thing that means they are going to make a bundle of money and if they make a bundle of money that means that you as the tax payer got ripped off and that's the real reason that America has more prisoners then any other country in the world is because their is money in it. Ding ding ding ding  welcome to the real United States of America.

Did you know that BP which stands for British Petroleum sprayed millions of gallons of illegal chemicals on American soil to save them billions of dollars on clean up even though they knew it was very harmful to the environment and people and the American government not only knew about it but helped them keep it quit.  I wonder how that little tidbit got left out of the news. Some local reporters filmed planes spraying the water and also filmed workers spraying it on the beaches and the marshes. The chemical was the same one they used under the water that binds with the oil to make it sink to the bottom of the ocean. The American government did authorize them to use it for a limited time under water to help keep the oil from floating on top and reaching land but BP continued to use it the whole time while the oil was spraying into the ocean. Using a lot more than authorized and the Government said nothing while they showed it on TV day after day.

 People in Louisiana broke out in rashes and some had to go to the hospital for inflammation of the throat and airways. Whole families will be affected for generations to come in ways we don't know yet but that's Ok because Government's good friends the Pharmaceutical  Companies will make billions off all the new health problems that will develop. If you think that that giant ball of oil underneath the ocean isn't going to cause problems I'm thinking you might be wrong. Of course they won't blame it on BP they will just make up some place and say it's leaking millions of gallons of oil naturally and its so deep the water pressure is keeping it down there. Hey I just made that up and it wasn't half bad. Maybe I should go work for the government again.

These are just a few issues that happen because we have turned the American Government into a slave to special interest. Getting rid of the money won't fix everything but its a really big step in the right direction. The First step to fixing the problem is putting our differences aside and not letting them sidetrack us with a bunch of lightning and thunder. Next time a politician or news channel or political talk show host tells you what to think what they really are telling you is "Don't pay any attention to the man behind the curtain." So act like the American you are and don't let them redirect you attention. Pull that curtain aside so you can get your courage, heart and brain back and get into that balloon so we can all go home. God Bless the United States of America. Don't get sidetracked with the God thing, we just had a long conversation about that.
