It's true what they say, it really all is in the eye of the old beholder, ain't it? Reality is elastic, entirely dependent upon the consciousness observing it.... at least, that's the conclusion i have to make after hearing about this "Knockout Game" bullshit on the news this morning. You've heard that crap, right? These random thuggy kids walk up and smack the shit out of random people on the street for kicks and film it?
My reaction is this:
"What a bunch of assholes. I blame that WorldStarHipHop website. Kids have always been dumb and violent, but never before have they had the chance to be dumb and violent in front of millions of people who applaud their dumb violence. Idiots!"
Then i listen to Michael Savage, and his reaction is thus:
"This is happening because of Obama, and Oprah, but mostly Obama! These black kids are striking out because Obama tells them to, he wants to make them into his Greenshirt Army, quick, play that clip from 2009 where Obama called for a "civilian service corps" which is like the Khmer Rouge in Cambodia who were organized by college-lib-educated Pol Pot socialist communist dictator with red scarves! Soon no white person will be able to leave the house without being bludgeoned to death by angry strong black kids wearing Obama uniforms and carrying lengths of pipe to beat us all to death, waaaaarrrgh!" [ Paraphrase]
Really.
And i just cock my head to the side like a confused squid.
"Well... I suppose you could go that route with it."
Different realities. Which is valid? Who can say. Who really can say.
