We Are a Terrible People


We make frozen food products that contain 121% of our daily value of cholesterol.

We import play things made of poison.

We buy things we cannot afford.

We have children we cannot afford.

We put tiaras on our toddlers, then watch them turn into teen moms.

We want everything we are entitled to, until we have to pay for it.

We paralyze our face muscles on purpose.

We fabricate reasons for war.

We market cosmetics to our children.

We give guns to drug dealers intentionally.

We preach family values while we cheat on our spouses.

We deny equal rights.

We treat the cancer of inmates who are sentenced to death.

We project images of impossibly perfect women, everywhere.

We pay coaches and athletes enormous sums of guaranteed money regardless of their ability to do their "jobs."

We allow 7 year olds to have cell phones.

We sell wiener drugs on TV.

We keep ineffective teachers on the job.

We lie to get votes.

Yet, somehow, we are not without hope.
