Why Must I Be Surrounded By Frickin' Idiots?

On This Day In History
1931: Al Capone goes to prison

Quote Of The Day
"Capitalism is the legitimate racket of the ruling class."
(Al Capone)

Oh, don't be silly, Al; governments and middle class capitalists have nothing in common. Your mobsters sold unlicensed tobacco and alcohol. Tobacco is nothing but an addictive, carcinogenic substance that causes death and serious illness in those who imbibe it and those in their vicinity. Your mobsters also sold alcohol which is another addictive, carcinogenic substance that kills brain cells, causes high blood pressure, heart disease, strokes, liver disease, obesity and digestive problems as well as being responsible for hundreds of thousands of car crashes each year, while contributing towards domestic violence and street violence. And from all this evil, you, your mobsters and criminal cartels lined their own pockets.

Governments and middle class capitalists, on the other hand, sell licensed tobacco and alcohol. Tobacco is an addictive, carcinogenic substance that merely causes death and serious illness in those who imbibe it and those in their vicinity. Middle class capitalists also sell alcohol which is another addictive, carcinogenic substance that only kills brain cells, causes high blood pressure, heart disease, strokes, liver disease, obesity and digestive problems as well as being responsible for a few hundreds of thousands of car crashes each year, while contributing towards a bit of domestic violence and street violence. And from all these trifling drawbacks, politicians are able to decorate and pay mortgages on their second and third private residences.

No similarity whatsoever.

Basically, you can choose being ruled by frickin' criminal idiots or frickin' legal idiots, while all the while being surrounded by frickin' idiots who fund the criminal idiots by buying the products that are slowly killing them, or voting for the legal idiots who line their pockets with the tax income they receive when frickin' idiots buy the products that are slowly killing them. Sometimes I think it's about time for someone to cause a volcano to erupt and cover all the frickin' idiots of the world with red hot liquid magma.

"It all seems so stupid it makes me want to give up.
But why should I give up when it all seems so stupid."
Shame

Oh well, I had a beautiful 22 kilometers run this afternoon, despite rain being forecast for the whole day. And I didn't see one frickin' idiot on the whole run.
