A True Rant of Epic Proportions

Okay, while this may sound extreme and even nihilistic to some if not many out there I think perhaps it is time for humanity to as the Bard said "shuffle off this mortal coil". I have spent the last 20 hours dealing with what could only be referenced as the dregs of humanity, by this I do not mean the criminal element I mean just people who seem to not grasp simple everyday things like; not putting up signs that advertise one thing and when people go to do it telling them you can't do it, following simple traffic common sense by not turning left from the far right lane, not taking an order for food and taking the money and then saying that you don't have what was ordered or the container for what was ordered (large coffee) but still expecting to get paid for the item & finally hiring a security company but not asking the officers input on security issues and saying they are wrong when they tell you that the way you want it done will not work in that environment.

Now while I understand their are just some people out there that don't care about what others think about them, and I fully admit I am one of these people, trying to screw over people is just BS! There are many people that work their fingers to the bone just trying to make a living to support their families and I commend them but it is the ones out there that are short changing, bait & switching, and misrepresenting themselves that this is directed at.

The hypocrisy of the societies are now becoming so rampantly blatant as to make people wonder how human civilization even survived as long as it did or how they could have been fooled into believing something other than the reality of a situation. Take the skyrocketing price of gas as an example. Since 2006 the price has been slowly but steadily increasing and during the previous administration there were screams from the public, media, pundits, & even congress for investigations into why this happened. However, after January of '09 this extremely vocal screaming ceased, why? This is quite strange when one takes into account as of January 19, 2009 the national average for regular was $1.84 a gallon and now it is $3.74 jumping $0.30 in one month, and a grand total of $1.90 in 4 years. In fact according to AAA a year ago the national average was $3.42 and one month ago it was $3.45. So I'm wondering where is this great outrage we saw just 5 years ago? What changed in this country? Did Americans get smarter and realize it was not politicians that controlled prices? Or maybe the lives of the Kardashians, Lindsay Lohan, and those of other "celebrities" just assaulted, i mean fascinated, us more so than before or was it the deaths of Whitney Houston & Davey Jones that stopped Americans for realizing what was happening. Sad to say but I actually hope so because the other possibility is even scarier to any relatively sane person and that is WE JUST DON'T CARE ANYMORE. If that is the case then my case is made that maybe it truly is time for humanity to go the way of the dinosaur and the Dodo bird.
