The good thing about experts
is that we don’t have to think for ourselves
we can get our thinking done by people who don’t do anything
but think
(*the more someone knows
the less they have to do
which is why those who know everything
do nothing)
the good thing about politicians
is that we have no end of ideas to believe in
so many great reasons
to fight with our families and neighbours
(*if you don’t agree with me
you my friend
are the enemy)
the good thing about television
is that we can make decisions
whose consequences will last a lifetime
based on thirty seconds of visual stimulation
(*click like below
if you support _________insert the latest thing________)
the good thing about a battlefield
is that we have a place to send the young
where they are too busy to notice
the corruption of the old
(*fighting also makes for more exciting television)
the good thing about censorship
is that we can only hear one side of the story
the side that is strong enough to shut everyone else down
and no one with that sort of power has ever lied…yet
(*censored*)
the good thing about corporations
working to save the world
that would be better off if they left it alone
isn’t the profit
(*trust me, it is something other than profit
hmm I just can’t think of it
maybe I need to consult an expert)
