Someone said that Capitalism is inherently evil. Close but not so. How glorious is capitalism with its ability to let someone be as famous as rich as anything that they can be. There is NO ceiling, at least theoretically. Capitalism tells us that a man can and should earn what his true value is. Its liberating to know you can be anything you want to be and sell it, buy it , or use it when you become IT, at least theoretically...

Now, capitalism as most ecomonic theory(socialism, communism, etc) looks good on paper, no doubt, the problem comes when it is put in practice. Humans, inherently flawed, have no discipline. How can you tell a man a certain amount is "enough money" when there is no cap on it? 1 million? Shit, lets try 1 BILLION and if i have to close my plant in some po-dunk town that will die without it, move it to some third world country, and save millions, so be it. So, capitalism in its theory is glorious...its just the damn implementation thats the problem...


With that said, I am a human(yes yes its true) so GIVE ME MY CASH, nucca!!!

The reason we were so scared of communism in the fifties and sixties was what it represented not necessarily the countries that practiced it. It was just that all countries that practiced it were so easy to fear and dislike(korea, russia, etc). But, a communal pot? The community working towards a common goal? F-THAT!!!! You think America was gonna let THAT idea catch on? But, like capitalism and its glorious theory, communism falls flat in practice. The idea of gov't interaction to regulate the people toward a common good, with human frailty, tends to lend itself to demagogues and dictators alike. Too bad, the idea works so well on paper...

Congrats to "No Country for Old Men" for winning best pic last night at the Oscars. Great Movie, well acted, well shot(the cinematography was great. I am glad they didnt waste those beautiful landscapes of the desert). What is going to be lost, on some not all, is that this movie is a parable. Actually, its a reflection, a mirror image. You think NCFOM was too violent? Think it was too gory? Well, the Coen brothers just showed you a snapshot of the world in which you live. Violent, confusing, and at times seemingly meaningless and random(hence the coin flip element to the villian)...

Like Jesus's parables in the bible, the story was just a medium to deliver a message. Yes, this time is violent yes it is random and hard to take. Yes, this country is not built for old men. It takes a strong constitution to stomach this world at times. But, you know what? Its been like that since that first "retarded fish-frog"(copyright South Park) decided to walk upright...However, the Coen brothers did give a ray of hope in this bleak parable: Luellen's wife. She was the moral compass of the movie continually espousing "you dont have to do this..." She says something to that effect multiple times throughout the movie. And she is right. We dont have to do this. Remember yall, it doesnt have to be like this...we can control it and make the world better. That is, you know, if its alright with yall.

For anybody that thinks humans are not animals: take a look at an infant. Not saying that children are animals...actually thats exactly what im saying. Think about it...Infants and children are pure instinct. They dont care you have to go to work in the morning they are hungry and need to be fed. They dont care that its 2 in the morning...They dont care that your boss is at your house they are gonna run around naked(our purest form). Child rearing is just another word for child training. We teach them how to act in our society. Everytime we fuss at them; everytime we pop their hands; everytime we give them a cookie for peeing in the potty; we are conditioning them like a pavlovian dog to act as we act and do what we do.

Umm...I know i should feel slighted that flavor flav has tarnished his legacy as a pioneer in one of the most influential, positive rap groups of all time(and if you dont know what group. I think you should leave now...no, no go ahead. You need to leave), but that nucca is HEEE-LARIOUS. The show is so obviously staged but it is HEEE-LARIOUS. Those women are so obviously out to be famous, start a burgeoning video girl career or something, but they are HEEE-LARIOUS...HEY, i never said i was perfect. I have my vices and Flavor of Love is as addictive and seemy as a smack habit...at least there are no needle marks in my arms despite the obvious effects it has on my brain..

HEY MAN, did the hot damn Patriots CHEAT in their Superbowl wins? Thats the new wrinkle in the Spygate saga...Supposedly, actually let me put on my Roger Cossack, ESPN legal analyst hat on, Alledgedly, there is evidence that the Patriots taped the Rams practice before their first Superbowl win(if they cheated in one that means they cheated in all of them. Yep, thats what we are gonna go with). Now, i could give a crap out the damn Rams, but:

DID THOSE BASTARDS CHEAT IN THEIR 2004 SUPERBOWL AGAINST MY BOYS, THE CAROLINA PANTHERS? hmm...did YOU beli-bastard!!!??? Did you? SNIFF, SNIFF. I want my HOTDAMN(im toning down the severity of my curse words...you know for the babies) SUPERBOWL Banner, you bastard!!!

You say that "13 panther players were found to have used steroids the following season". First off, thats none of your hot damn business thank you...Second, so Rodney Harrison was juicing too!!!...So guys i am willing to split that title with you. Hey, we'll be doing YOU a favor we COULD just come up there and take it. Ever seen an army of pissed off rednecks(so what we lost the Civil War we've been practicing since then and we are pissed) But, its cool we can share...just bring us the trophy and we can call its square...Good im glad we got this settled. Now i can say:

The Carolina Panthers, 2004 SUPERBOWL CO-CHAMPIONS. Yep, that sounds ‘bout right...Get the T-shirts ready!!!

Bruce Eagle the Full Metal. Peace!!!
