Between Angels and Insects

I hate money. Have I ever mentioned that? It serves fucking no purpose other to make the rich feel good about themselves and turn the poor towards suicide. Really, you need the money to buy the stuff to give you a semblance of happiness. You need the money to buy food to support yourself. Is that how it should be? Should people suffer hunger and unhappiness just because of a piece of paper? Now the more argumentative of you will bitch and moan about how a monetary system gives us reason to work and helps us to maintain social order. Well call me a fucking communist then because I believe that's the biggest load of bullshit I've ever heard. This country doesn't need cash to solve it's problems, it needs smarter people. Hell, the whole fucking world just needs to get smarter. The Song of The Day is Between Angels and Insects. This is one song that gets the fucking idea. This one and 1 Trillion Dollar$ by Anti-Flag (featured in a previous, much older post). I hate money, and I hate what it does to us. People are gunned down every day just for the couple bucks that they may or may not have on them. People go homeless because they can't afford to stay in a house or apartment. What happened to humanity? There are no records that the cavemen had any form of economy, and they seemed to get along just fine. "Oh well it was a simpler time then, they didn't have the technology that we do now." Oh so this is all because of our fancy sleek machines? No, no it's not. This is because people have to have something in exchange. Nobody does anything out of the kindness of their heart anymore, or to genuinely help their fellow human beings. Not even all these supposed "non-profit charity organizations". It's all corporate bullshit. Someone somewhere in that company is making hundreds of thousands of dollars that they don't fucking need. The only reason we think we need money and all of these nice things is because the whole fucking world is insecure. You, me, your neighbor, President Obama, Congress (and every fucking oil baron in it), even the people you look up to. Whether or not any of us realize it, we're being played, and it's not a very fun game. We get caught in this infinite loop, like playing tag with three-people-no-tagbacks. Just when we think we've spent enough money to feel good about what we have, something better comes out. Then you've got to work more to replace something you just bought, just so that you're not insecure about having last weeks model. All of us just need to grow the fuck up and get over ourselves.
Readers, what's your song of the day?
