“Do you want dirty water from a dirty lake, or dirty water from a dirty pipe? Both are filtered.”
A quote from Ricky Roger. He was asking me to select a beverage from his home on a hot Florida afternoon. His philosophy will never leave my memory.
We’re all assholes in one respect or another, but when we partake in the nearly global approval of bottled water as a profitable product, we become stupid fucking assholes.
“But I need them for -- the gym -- when I go for a jog -- long drives -- my dogs water dish -- trips to the beach. I need them because -- I don’t drink soda -- I hate washing cups -- I hate how the reusable bottles make the water taste -- their so easy -- I need them.”
No you don’t.
And you never will.
It was our addiction to consumerism (a word that should be stricken from the English language) that the monsters picked up on. They knew we would fall for it. Convenience is a motherfucker.
And now, we have proof we are the prophetic generation of bottled water, causing poor populations to die.
Want proof?
You got it sister!
Several years ago, (and before that, and before that) some cock smoker came to our land, called us infidels, then committed a mass murder. He said we were vain, gluttonous monsters of ignorance, and that we deserved it. I don’t think he was sane, or justified in his actions, but his reason for being pissed off is easily understandable.
I’m pissed too, but I don’t think killing innocent people is the solution. But, I do think the ones responsible should be tried, and hung.
It all started when we went to the cock smokers land, killed his innocent friends and family, called them terrorists, and robbed them of one of their most valuable natural resources for our own selfish, unjustifiable, wasteful use. After that, (just like the last time, and the time before that) we lied about why we were there.
(I just heard a bunch of people scream, “Go Fuck Yourself,” at their screens. Tee hee.)
But that’s how it went down, and we cant turn the clock back. But maybe we can fix the problem it created.
He saw us, invade his home, take their oil, refine it into a plastic bottle, fill it with dirty water from a dirty source, then claim it was all his fault. That left him, on his land, poor, missing his source of income, mourning dead neighbors and relatives, and thirsty as hell.
(Still think I should go fuck myself?)
That’s one way I can think of to put an end to the problem. Educate the ignorant. Some of you already knew this. Some of you cared but never spoke, others knew, but didn’t care. That’s over now.
System of A down put it in poetic words for me to understand, and now I put it in plain English (American) for those who are not fans. And now, even the deniers have to face the facts.
Both parties were wrong, but we the people are not as innocent as we thought.
Tell your friends.
