Super Bowl Sunday is a great day. Nothing like cold beer, gladiator-like combat and expensive commercials. I was disturbed by one thing. The youth of today, or at least the cross section that took in the game with me are down on America. Before kickoff, some great players of today and yesteryear read aloud the Declaration of Independence. Now as screwy as our country can be, there is no arguing with the importance of the document itself. The tree of liberty would not have grown without the hard work and sacrifice of those bold signees or the empirical wit of Thomas Jefferson. The segment was met with cries of "This isn't funny anymore" or "John Madden is going to run for President." This disconnectedness with history is disturbing as it is one of the best ways to learn from the mistakes of others. I'm not shouting about citizens being un-American or how patriotic I am in my ivory tower. I am merely saying that disrespect for one's own country is the quickest way to get me to disrespect you. Almost on cue, the house cook blasted the entire room for being communists after most failed to stand for the singing of the national anthem. Francis Scott Key's words are by no means comparable to the prose of Thomas Jefferson and to be honest I was filling my cup during this rant, but an Asian pear is still a pear, yes?
On that note, I would like to call to your attention to a movie. The film is called
Zeitgeist. The film is the scariest documentary I have ever seen. It is three parts, each with a premise.
- Jesus Christ, and therefore Christianity, is a plagiarism on the Egyptian Sun God Horus and the Bible is an astrotheological literary hybrid
- 9/11 was a false flag act carried out by the highest government officials
- The Federal Reserve is unnecessary and only serves the international banking elite
I could spend days writing about the intricate truths woven into an anarchist's cloak, so you're probably better off spending the two hours watching the movie . Cuz its totally not Frontin'
