Ma'dam Sek here with news that is not quite internationally related. However, it must occur globally because it just... well.... makes sense.
In prior years we have been watching our world that we have come to know, love, and admire start to crumble before our eyes. Beginning a little post 2001 there was a lot of talk about our environment screaming for our help. We ignored it. Fast foward a couple of years it is now 2007 and I can't take a shower longer than 5 minutes because my city has only 90 days of water supply left. WTF?!?!
Well that corrected itself in certain parts of the country. Here, we had an ish ton of rain in 2008. All our fears were able to rest. Americans were able to forget yet again that there were things beyond our control. We could go back to our ignorance is bliss state of mind.
FAST FORWARD!
September 24, 2008 Bush addresses the nation to inform us that we are officially in a financial CRISIS! AHHH ISH! We have to worry yet again.. and this time it is about our money. No one likes monetary obsession, depression, and depletion.
What am I saying this all for? Well unfortunately unlike our liquid issues from 2 years ago this one has not solved itself. These problems that seem beyond our control that were in fact caused by human error and greed have lead to more problems.
As I was doing my news rounds I s
tumbled on a CNN article about crime increasing. It seems that with the economic downturn crime has been on the rise."WHAT the hell you say?" YES that is the case.
Is it really surprising, no not really. Why wouldn't people want things at the cheapest possible rate when everyone is BROKE?! E-Z- money baby.
The problem is just that though, everyone is broke, everyone is suffering. How dare people steal from their fellow suffering American! STEAL FROM SOME DAGGONE CHENEY!
(I would love to dig in his pockets an then spin kick him!)
Well the kicker to this tale is that necessity is the mother of all invention or in this case historic repetition.
American's are known for being selfish. Dog eat Dog.. I'll gets mine it doesn't matter about yours. However, because of these recent outbreaks of violence communities are bonding together to watch eachother's back. (such old timey insight go figure, it works)
It's sad that in times of trouble and discomfort that is when people seek out one another, but that is just the way the cookie crumbles. It has been observed that people walk through neighborhoods perpetrating and pretending they are market salesmen, or flyer distributors. They have only one goal in mind they want to see who is home and who is not.
Smart... but f'ed up all at the same time.
- People are stealing GPS systems from cars... (keep that ish locked down.. don't keep it in your window for all to see dumbheads)
- People are breaking into foreclosed homes and stealing copper. (get that gold.. CASH FOR GOLD BEECHES!)
It has all become busted down to size and we need to do something. I am all for community but is it not a shame that it is at the expense (pun intended) of the economy?
(note: I do not know a neighbors name in my apartment building for ish, do you?)
