"America Is Not Country Anymore"

"America is not a country anymore, its a business". That is the last line in the movie, "Killing Them Softly" starring Brad Pitt, Ray Liotta and James Gandolfini and a few other unknown actors. At least I don't know who they are. The moral of the story is, if you are a dumb ass, don't rob a high stakes, back room poker game filled with mobsters. The underlying message in this movie is big business, Lawyers, Obama and George Bush have turned the United States into a commercial infested, bankrupt nation that is slowly being flushed down the drain by greed and a population of citizens that are like instant gratification clones. When I heard Mr. Pitt say that line it all made sense to me. Like any big business mired in greed, debt and corruption, it will fail. Its only a matter of time. This movie reminded me that what I have been saying all along is true but I am not alone with what I am thinking. The writers and producers of this movie cleverly inserted Obama and McCain TV campaign messages in the background during their gangster meetings in bar rooms and offices and if you think about what is going on these days, it is flash back of accurate statements. Oh, the movie? Its a fair action, hit man movie with a few other underlying messages. Check it out...

Its true. We are not living in a Nation or a Country. We have become part of a huge business machine that is out of control. We are being programed everyday to spend and buy buy buy, not thinking of the consequences. The perfect example is the picture below....Anybody want to buy an old post office? This one is for sale in Norwich Conn.

"Line From the Movie "Fight Club"

From the movie "Fight Club" 1999

"Man, I see in fight club the strongest and smartest men who've ever lived. I see all this potential, and I see squandering. God damn it, an entire generation pumping gas, waiting tables . . . slaves with white collars. Advertising has us chasing cars and clothes, working jobs we hate so we can buy shit we don't need. We're the middle children of history, man. No purpose or place. We have no Great War. No Great Depression. Our Great War's a spiritual war . . . our Great Depression is our lives. We've all been raised on television to believe that one day we'd all be millionaires and movie gods and rock stars. But we won't. And we're slowly learning that fact. And we're very, very pissed off"

Comment....Line from the movie "Fight Club" with Brad Pitt and Edward Norton. I don't have to say anymore. This says it all.

"Twitter Account"

I have decided to delete my Twitter account. After considerable thought, it is with a heavy heart that I will click on the delete button. (not really with a "heavy heart" I just always wanted to write that) This morning I received a note from a good friend (actually a Twitter message) that someone put something "disgusting", her word via my Twitter Name, Tyler306. That is enough for me. I've had that name for a long time. Ever since Brad Pitts non-existent character in the movie "Fight Club". Remember Tyler Durden? I haven't looked at what this "freak of nature" put there or what it is. I'm just going to take her word for it. I actually "Hate" and I don't use that word lightly, any form of advertising or brain washing tool and I'm afraid that is what Twitter has turned into. What was, kind of a neat modern "Chat room" is now a place for sleazy perverts and morons trying to sell you something. I know its been that way for a long time but I just ignored it. I have met some really nice people there in the beginning and I will miss them. Especially the girl from Cape Cod and Sarah. Its like there is a Cancer there now and its tainted, and dirty and that is sad. Good Bye Twitter I have a feeling you went just a little too far and you are on your way out. Facebook is next.
