Farm Aid Control

During the past century, Republicans and Democrats have been debating our freedoms away like a couple of fueding divorcees. While in the middle of the battles, we the people have been slowly watching our freedoms peal away like a banana in a Paris Hilton hotel room. The sad part about this is the people continuously fight with these fucking maggots. Whether they are fighting for or against a war, for or against gun control, for or against abortion, etc.

This is the FUCKING United States of FUCKING America. We are supposed to be the country that invented freedom. Yet, I continuously hear, "In my country, you can do this or that without getting in trouble."

Ratings systems, gun control, abortion, EVEN conventional drug use (yeah...I said IT!) should be left up to the individual. I don't care if my neighbor has a damn gun and a baggie full of pot. Hell, I don't care if my neighbor has a fucking RAIL CANNON from a BATTLESHIP and TWENTY TONS of HEROIN, just as long as he/she doesn't impose on my freedoms or harm me, my family, or property in any way, it's ALL good!

Like my friend, Mindcoaster says, "It's all about CONTROL."

The government's control comes from what seems to be SWEET and/or KIND intensions. "We are making this law to keep your children safe." They claim, "If we don't do something, the children will ALL die or suffer."

GEE! THAT'S ENTICING! WE APPRECIATE YOUR HELP! It's a good thing that I never turn down help, but I DO have this funny habit of being leary of the help I am receiving. ESPECIALLY, from the government.

They always come out front with what SOUNDS good to the public (GEE...they wouldn't want the public to think they were a bunch of ass holes). That's why they have press secretaries. What they AREN'T saying is what they added to the fine print of the bill. Often, they add pork belly projects, stupid programs for a supposed "bipartisan" support, or a little something extra to get their constituants to shut up. Only, after the debating is done, they never end up helping the situation. They only complicate it with more moronic rules. That is, if anything actually gets done in the first place. Movie, music, and game ratings are a prime example of this steaming pyle of raw sewage.

"WE DON'T WANT OUR CHILDREN TO BE SUBJECTED TO THE VIOLENCE, LANGUAGE, AND PORNOGRAPHIC MATERIAL." is one of the ways a politician says they can see a new way to get extra votes and cash. Isn't this cencorship? Isn't cencorship, no-matter what low-life shit it contains, supposed to be unconstitutional? Meanwhile, their meaningless control leads me to have to play a substandard game, listen to shitty music, or watch stupid movies because companies are afraid to distribute razor edge material, because stupid companies like Wally World (Wal-Mart) refuse to carry them. FUCK WALLY! WALLY SUCKS! If Wally wasn't dead, I'd call for his head on a stake next to Bill Gates'.

And then there's the celebrities...first thing is first, I wouldn't give a shiney racoon's shitter if a celebrity walked up to me tonight and said, "VOTE FOR PEACE! SAVE THE WHALES!" You're a fucking celebrity. You are paid top dollar to lie to a camera. What makes you think I would listen to your sorry ass outside of a script? Your opinion is like an ass hole to me, WE'RE ALL BORN WITH OUR OWN! Go cry in front of your Beverly Hills Mansion and LEAVE ME THE FUCK ALONE! Sheryl Crow, Rosie O'Donnell, Sharon Stone, George Clooney, and Tom Cruise are among the fucking idiots that try and tell me I'm an ass hole because I don't live the same way that they do or believe in what they believe. Yet, people keep listening to these pricks like they are college professors that study the subjects they are spitting forth for sixteen hours per day. In my book, they are no differant than the Billy Grams and the Rush Limbaughs of the world. FULL OF SHIT!

Speaking of "Hollywood celebrities that are full of shit", Neil Young opened his big mouth the other day and inserted his ASS...

Normally, I wouldn't consider Young a Hollywood celebrity. Originally, (despite being another whiney babyboomer) Young was a singer/songwriter/musician that earned my respect by writing songs that (WAAAAAAaaaay back in the day) pissed people off. Two decades ago, he, along with John Melencamp and Willie Nelson, even helped as the co-founder of Farm Aid, a live concert event that helped farmers during hard times.

Lastnight, my respect for Neil crashed like Kate Moss on a coke binder! Apparently, the Chicago Tribune found that Farm Aid only gives 28% (that's NOT a typo, I actually mean 28%) of it's procedings to the farmers they claim to be helping in the first place.

Instead of being a stand-up person and stating something along the lines of: "Well, that's something I'll have to look into. If it's true, we'll have some serious house cleaning to do." Mr. Young, the fool he is, became defensive and yelled (I may be paraphrasing here), "THIS ARTICAL IS THE BIGGEST PIECE OF BULLSHIT I EVER READ!" He continued spouting more cowshit after that, but that pretty much sums up the gist of his remaining comments.

For one thing, Neil...Do you mind if I call you Neil? I could call you a horse's ass, but, for some odd reason, I'm feeling friendly...ANYWAYS, as a charity, all of the book work for Farm Aid is SUPPOSED to be open to the public. This prevents any common con-artist from starting thier own charities while feeding their own bank accounts with the money they take. I find it really hard to believe that the editors of the Chicago Tribune suddenly had a meeting or this slicing urge to invent a conspiracy theory just for Farm Aid. If they found something in your books, you MIGHT want to QUIT FARTING OUT OF YOUR LIPS and check it out. I highly doubt that the Chicago Tribune is going to leave themselves open to a huge lawsuit.

Another thing, don't cry to the Chicago Tribune because you can't run your charity right. Why don't you swallow your shallow celebrity pride and check the books for YOURSELF. They may be on to something. You could lay-off a couple of roadies and tech guys. You could even raise your ticket prices or bring in a couple more sponcers. Can you picture it? John Deer presents Farm Aid...brought to you by Pepsi, Trojan Condoms, and Schlitze Malt Liquar!

I guess when Mr. Young became involved with this charity stuff, he never considered that he would have to run it like a Big Buisiness. Uh-oh! I said the "B" word! Running a charity isn't exactly like running your little band tours. There are hard decisions that have to be made. Uneasy decisions like firing people, lowest bidders, and PROFITS. Sorry to tell you, Mr. Anti-Buisiness, but you are basically supposed to be a buisnessman, now. SUCKS BEING YOU! HA!
