Several years in a Rolling Stone article Taibbi pointed out that anger of the one percenters was being missed and surmised that the anger behind this movement was about how people were just sick and tired how modern capitalist society is so much about squeezing out the last penny of people for everything and in any way whatsoever. How true. As I age more, American society grows more and more disturbing, disappointing and disturbing. Sure, plenty has been written about capitalism, but for crying out loud, it is becoming more despicable each and every day. Each day American capitalism is like a goddamned worm burrowing into our lives and eating away at the most truly important things in life while releasing eggs that grow into the most meaningless symbiotic grubs that continue the process. I watched the Superbowl last night (and it really should be just changed to the biggest advertisement to advertise more ads) and it just floored me how this country is becoming nothing more than a huge fucking commercial for everything. We are told to buy this, buy that or consume this to be happy and to be happy YOU MUST buy or consume this. Life in America has become a commercial. And it is just getting worse and worse. It is so fucking depressing, too. Bob Dylan, Queen, and so many others have now sold their music for commercials ad nauseam. Fucking Bob Dylan and a beer commercial! How disgusting. The only good thing about old music being used this way is we old timers have much stronger memories tied to this music (however, in a more sicker way is how American capitalism feeds off of these memories to make a tie to their product to sell their product to those of us with these memories).....
