Individuals Don't Matter

Look at the news... here... on television... Ever ask yourself "What makes news?"

Earthquakes, fires, crashed luxury jets/boats, school-ground killings, explosions, bombs, gunfire (especially when leading to wounds or death), mass murder/destruction war, politicians receiving oral sex, politicians making claims for what they plan to do if you put them into power, politicians and their private jihads, abortion (f)(r)ights, sexual education being kept out of the hands of the masses, drug wars, crack houses, crack baby statistics, the stock market, cars, planes, trains (wait, what's a train??)...

Have you ever met an individual through the news who was just a regular human being with an invisible disability looking for some justice? Someone who had their functional life ruined by passive-aggressive human rights violations... someone isolated and alone, except for a few websites (some of which have chosen to blacklist him)... and the occasional female companionship... which falls apart because of the things people don't talk about in the news.

i am no one. Nice to not meet you. i am an invisible citizen of the Corporate States of America. Land of the slaves, owner of the devaluing dollar, master of the stock market, poisoner of the global economy and all ecosystems. i don't matter because i never murdered anyone, never set off any bombs, never cured cancer or made erectile dysfunction medications (to be marketed by USA corporate entities as solutions for problems not honestly discussed such as... abuse, loss, anxiety, harassment, defamation, social stresses, unemployment, tears, crying, suffering...).

i don't have any diseases, missing limbs or erectile dysfunction. i'm no one. i used to have a job where i helped people with something seemingly insignificant, but it mattered to me. i bought a house, i had a girl telling me she was going to be coming back to the USA to see me... and it all fell apart because of the sociopath (which the DSM will tell you doesn't really exist) who was my immediate manager.

Hello, i'm an individual loser in a nation of selfishness and obsession. Obsession with sex while being afraid to talk about it. Obsession with the one and only true god(s), women's bodies as objects, the size of a man's penis, drugs, guns, money, "reality" television and all the rest of the sex, lies and video discs we USAmericans love but can't talk about without making potty humour innuendos and jokes.

i don't matter and this is not news. It's not "good stuff." It's biased. It's uninformative. It's non-vital. It affects no one but me. Or maybe me and others like me... but there aren't any others like me, right?

No one with invisible disabilities being abused and having their human rights violated by their employers, ignored by their unions and lawmakers... wait... there MUST be more like me...

No, i guess not. Or they're all just as ineffectual as myself.

It was nice sharing this moment with you, dear reader. Dear web browser text box. Keyboard. Mouse. Scrolly wheel.

In a world of Me Me Me... here's a little selfishness of my own:
