You're Fucking Crazy

People think I'm crazy, often I get this comment. They think I'm just whacky out of control silly. I fucking hate that. People, in general, don't think. Not only don't they think, they don't speak their minds or care to hear anyone else speaking their minds. People seem to like to just accept things, feel safe in knowing that what little thoughts they have are correct, and then go grab a beer and a burger and sit, maybe "the game" is on. Most of the bullshit I say is either me being very honest to the point it makes people uncomfortable or possibilities I think need to be considered more, they may be wrong, but they;re something we should think about. People don't seem to feel comfortable with that. They like iron clad absolutes, hopefully in easy to swallow one sentence, MAYBE one paragraph form. Reading an entire book solely to learn something seems to be out of the question also, if I am going to read an ENTIRE book it better have romance and a vampire in it, maybe a duck. People for the most part, walk around thinking what they believe is right because they heard someone in a high profile position state a similar point as being correct, and that is enough for them to feel confident in their beliefs. No research. No reading. No questioning. I heard someone today say the reason their aunt has had trouble getting her meds over the last 2-years, is because of Obamacare. I'm not a Democrat or a Republican, but that clearly is an example of someone who heard something on Fox news and did no further research. Obamacare hasn't even taken effect yet, let alone it having any impact on "the last 2-years". I hear people all the time list off things they think they know about Islam or Christianity and they couldn't be more off base. Christians are the worst because most of them have never read the entire bible cover to cover, they just repeat shit they've been told by other people who have never read the bible either. So since I read, A LOT, and since every time I hear an opinion I research it, I'm considered kookie. People don't like to be told they need to dig deeper, they need to think more, they need to consider their original position was wrong. In fact when faced with the possibility of being incorrect, people seem to bear down and latch on even tighter to their possibly incorrect position, reasoning be damned.  I love that being intelligent and open makes you the loon and being a follower of other men and other men's opinions make you accepted. It's a fucked up premise and a fucked up world. Ok, time for tea.
