<RANT that goes severly off topic and most likely has horrible grammer and foul language> Re: How fast is your cable...

AOL reminds me a lot of TV.

The cable company charges you for access....
The cable company charges for advertising....
The cable company charges premiums for new movies...

Well damnit I want to be the cable company so I can ass rape people and treat them like shit in 
return.  Sounds a lot like these corporate pricks that had the books rigged to put a few more 
million in their pockets doesn't it?  And do you really think this 'corporate scandal swat team' is 
really going to find anything? Let me say this.  If the person that lined my pockets with gold came 
poking around looking for bad things he would more than likely look in the wrong places if he even 
looked at all.  I cant believe the bullshit that goes on in the media and the fact that the common 
person that makes less than $15 million a year cant do a damn thing about it.  You could protest 
and get arrested.  You could sit back and take it like everyone else also.  Or you could do like me 
and rant on and on like a blithering idiot with nothing better to do at 3:30 a.m.  Of course the 
government does do good things.  They build the shitty roads we drive on,  they provide us with 
crappy heal!
th care, they take 1/3 of the money we make so they can talk for hours on the floor that has 
absolutely nothing to do with politics, they sit in their air-conditioned offices up on their hill 
getting rich by the policies that they pass, they smile, and get paid a decent salary still for it. 
 Even with their multi-million dollar buisnesses that support them as it is.    So the next time 
you go to the voting booth to cast your useless, miscounted vote.  Remember to write me in on the 
ballot for president and Jerry Springer for VP.  His popularity alone would be the sole driving 
force behind the campaign and as long as I wasnt assassinated due to my 'radical political views' 
We would surely get laughed at  So remember folks the next time your state person calls you asking 
your view on the subject (yeah right) that you would like to see most of the US goverment reformed 
to standards acceptable to everyone.  I've expressed my views to several people in the government.  
The fact t!
hat there will most likely never be an 18 to 25 year old (or !
any other age) middle/lower class white male in a political office really truly sucks.  Yes at that 
age they dont always make the brightest decisions but they do have some damn good ideas that might 
actually do something useful for the people in general, not that 10% of the population that 
controls 90% of the money.  

*legal disclaimer*
The views contained within are the sole possesion of crash3m and are absolutely fucked.  Me, 
Myself, and I may or may not hold the same views but only GWB can be held responsible and even this 
congress will just toss the motion out the window as some of it might actually makes sense.
