Tired of Emo...

I really am tired of our(American) society´s Emo Mentality. I'm listening to a bit about parents who are doing Great Things(Scientists, DOctors, etc)and the Media's portayal of them as Bad Guys since they're not there constantly with their family. Gee, mommy missed dinner because she'd chose saving a Life. What a bitch!
Well, my Dad was career Army. I KNew he was doing Good Things and didn't "whine" because he missed some 3rd grade recital. Listening to these Emo reporters basically telling these folks that curing disease, protecting people and property, the country itself isn't worthwhile if Betsy doesn't see them at every Soccer practice is offensive. There are plenty of folks on Welfare that are home 24/7 for their kids and spouses(if they have them...). Quantity does not = Quality. And kids that are so self-absorbed that having a Great Person as a parent is a trial instead of something to be Proud of? Too bad Exposure is Illegal....

Lost in Time...

I really don't fit this time period in the West. To be, if it wasn't for the Racism, Sexism, Homophobia and Christophilia, the Post War Period would have been perfect;>. I'm not a Techy. I'm not an Emo. I'm not a Socialist. I don't belong in the Here-N-Now.
I don't "Long" for the 60's. To me, it's a period of Lies from both L and R. It was about Power and COntrol...nothing more from BOTH. As for the music? In general good music disappeared WITH the BEatles....
