To the banks and lending organizations of America, I would say: "There can be no pride in outsmarting stupid people." The American population is suffering from an epidemic of stupidity, encouraged and spurred on by those who set themselves up to profit from such stupidity.
For decades now, Americans have been systematically programmed to trust their government and corporations, taught to be naive and gullible, taught to trust the claims of advertizing, taught to believe in false promises offered by duplicitous weazels.
Well, the collective American stupidity is coming home to roost. It's time to wake up and smell the idiocracy. We have become a nation that is simultaneously morally bankrupt, fiscally bankrupt, and intellectually bankrupt. There can be no more placating, no more reassuring pleasantries, no more rah-rah, we're-the-greatest, and everything-will-be-ok. It's time to deliver the blow to the stomach that the nation has so thoroughly come to deserve.
It's time for America to wake up from its dream and get real. It's time to swallow the bitter pill. Lots of shit is messed up, and there is a lot of work to do to put it right. If you thought you were going to party, think again. Those before you did all the partying. Now you are on the cleanup crew.
Life will never be the same. Future generations will settle for less. Expectations will be lowered. Happiness will be found beyond products and services. It's the end of the world as we know it, and I feel fine. Perhaps you will too. Prepare your mind.
