Rage

I don’t mean to come here and rant, but you have to understand, there are things I read that just make me want to scream.

Like today. I get an e-mail alert, then two, then three, than four: Cuban official says equal pay may not work.

Basically, it’s an article about an article in Granma where some “communist” bastard admits that egalitarianism, when it comes to salaries, doesn’t work or as he says it’s “not convenient”

Not convenient.

This system that they so non-chalantly call an “inconvenience” is communism, since egalitarianism, where everyone doesn’t own anything and has the same material goods as everyone else, is the cornerstone of communism.

Needless to say, this wretched system goes against human nature so the authorities have to force everyone to participate and partake in being equally miserable and un-free.

Fidel Castro and his merry band of thugs decided that they were going to institute this system in Cuba about fifty years ago, at gunpoint, for everyone’s own good, especially theirs.

It has been a disaster, plunging my country into slavery, poverty and misery-all in the name of Marx’s blessed egalitarianism. And all the while utopian idiots world-wide pretending that the Cuban experiment resembled Lennon’s “Imagine” more than Lennin’s executions and state fabricated famine.

So it’s incredibly insulting that after fifty years of destroying a country city by city, street by street, home by home, person by person, by forcing and enforcing this unworkable and brutal system, they have decided it’s “not convenient”

How’s that for cynicism?

Oops we were wrong! Sorry for the inconvenience!

Smashing Pumpkins - Bullet With Butterfly Wings

The world is a vampire, sent to drain

Secret destroyers, hold you up to the flames

And what do I get for my pain?

Betrayed desires, and a piece of the game

Even though I know - I suppose I’ll show

All my cool and cold-like old job

Despite all my rage

I’m still just a rat in a cage

I’m still just a rat in a cage

Then someone will say what is lost can never be saved

Despite all my rage I’m still just a rat in a cage

Now I’m naked, nothing but an animal

But can you fake it, for just one more show?

And what do you want, I want to change

And what have you got when you feel the same

Tell me I’m the only one

Tell me there’s no other one

Jesus was an only son

Tell me I’m the chosen one

Jesus was an only son for you

Despite all my rage I’m still just a rat in a cage

Then someone will say what is lost can never be saved

Despite all my rage I’m still just a rat in a cage

And I still believe that I cannot be saved
