PSYCHOPOLITICS–the art and science of asserting and maintaining dominion over the thoughts and loyalties of individuals, officers, bureaus, and masses, and the effecting of the conquest of enemy nations through “mental healing.”

1.) Al Gore sets up a company invests in other companies that will benefit from global warming alarmism.
2.) Al Gore gets Hollywood Types to fund & produce his movie, which is designed to scare the c-c-carbon out of the population.
3.) Al Gore travels the world promoting this movie, while pushing the view that a cataclysm is imminent if the world doesn’t immediately act.
4.) The corporate-owned mass media makes you fall for the con.Rather than pointing out the flaws in his theories, the media promotes every word of it, advancing the concept that Al Gore’s views represent those of an overwhelming majority of scientists, which as we know was fabricated thanks to the East Anglia University email records. (In fact, over 30,000 scientists have legal action against Al Gore because of this fraud.)
5.) Scared governments and citizens across the planet invest in alternative energy programs, driving up the shares of companies Al Gore’s group has already invested in, and obviously will profit from.
6.) Al Gore and his cronies make billions as they laugh all the way to the bank, at the stupidity of their fellow citizens. Welcome to Carbon Credits and Carbon Trading.
Finally, a Tax on Life. You knew is was coming to this.

If you are 30 or older you will agree with this…

When I was a kid, adults used to bore me to tears with their tedious diatribes about how hard things were. When they were growing up; what with walking Twenty-five miles to school every morning… Uphill… barefoot… BOTH ways Yadda, yadda, yadda

And I remember promising myself that when I grew up, there was no way in hell I was going to lay a bunch of crap like that on my kids about how hard I had it and how easy they’ve got it!

But now that I’m over the ripe old age of thirty, I can’t help but look around and notice the youth of today. They’ve got it so easy! I mean, compared to my childhood, you live in a damn Utopia!

And I hate to say it, but kids today don’t know how good they’ve got it!

I mean, when I was a kid we didn’t have The Internet. If we wanted to know something, we had to go to the damn library and look it up ourselves, in the card catalogue! That meant reading – in BOOKS!

There was no email! We had to actually write somebody a letter – with a pen! Then you had to walk all the way across the street and put it in the mailbox and it would take a week to get there! Stamps were 10 cents!

When we actually wrote letters we could SPELL and we used proper grammar. What kids write today is a mix of lazy and just plain stupid.

CPS/CAS didn’t care if our parents beat us. As a matter of fact, the parents of all my friends also had permission to kick our asses! Nowhere was safe!

There were no MP3’s, Torrents or Napsters! If you wanted to steal music and movies, you had to walk/bicycle/bus it to the damn record/movie store and shoplift it yourself!

Or, you had to wait around all day to tape it off the radio and the DJ would usually talk over the beginning and @#*% it all up! There were no CD players! We had tape decks in our car. We’d play our favourite tape and “eject” it when finished and the tape would come undone. Cuz – that’s how we rolled, dig?

We didn’t have fancy crap like Call Waiting! If you were on the phone and somebody else called they got a busy signal, that’s it!

And we didn’t have Caller ID either!
When the phone rang, you had no idea who it was! It could be your school, your mom, your boss, your bookie, your drug dealer, a collections agent, you just didn’t know! You had to pick it up and take your chances, mister!

Cell phones were expensive giant bricks with huge curly wires that plugged into the car and had big travel cases like laptop bags. If the radiation didn’t kill you the bag would break your shoulders. If you wanted to make a call while you were out you went to the nearest pay phone. When was the last time you saw a real pay phone?

We didn’t have any fancy PS2. PS3, Xbox or Wii video games with high-resolution 3-D graphics! We had the Atari 2600! With games like ‘Space Invaders’ and ‘Asteroids’. Your guy was a little square! You actually had to use your imagination! And there were no multiple levels or screens, it was just one screen… forever! And you could never win. The game just kept getting harder and harder and faster and faster until you died! Just like LIFE!

You had to use a little book called a TV Guide to find out what was on! You were screwed when it came to channel surfing! You had to get off your ass and walk over to the TV to change the channel! NO REMOTES!

There was no Cartoon Network either! You could only get cartoons on Saturday Morning. Do you hear what I’m saying!?! We had to wait ALL WEEK for cartoons, you spoiled little rat-bastards! Waiting for stuff makes you appreciate it when you finally get it.

And we didn’t have microwaves, if we wanted to heat something up we had to use the stove!

The school bully was the kid that kicked the crap outta you and took your stuff, not the sissy that calls you names. If you weren’t missing your shoes or jacket, bleeding and bruised, the teacher told you to go play. Suck it up buttercup.

That’s what I’m talkin about! Kids today have got it too easy. They’re spoiled. They wouldn’t have lasted five minutes back in the 80’s or anytime before that. I can’t imagine how THEY’RE kids are gonna grow up. They’re probably have feeding tubes and levitating chairs with built-in toilets and microchips in their brains that constantly entertain them like a vivid dream.

A little hardship builds character.

Saturday Cartoons. We waited ALL week for these!

A Ghetto Blaster with a TV? You've GOT to be Kidding! This was HI TECH!

What would Macgyver do? We relied on Macgyver for ALL our answers, not Google!

Kitt was cool, and if you disagreed you were outed!

Graphics like this were considered TOP OF THE LINE.

TV Choices were limited, so we were Forced to stay active outside.

Without near-real CGI the story line actually Mattered!

We Pitty The Fool!

Look TWO buttons, that's ALL!
