If you are an Okanagan resident, feel free for now to keep your doors unlocked, your doors open at night and your bike laying against your front fence unchained. This may be a bit of a exaggeration, but watching CHBC news for the 11pm round up makes me giggle, laugh and feel good about my life. Yesterday, CHBC’s top story was one of a Hell’s Angel’s member being accused of drug trafficking. But in the end all charges were dropped because the man was not actually doing anything wrong, just merely a member. I can’t help laughing when I think that even when the news tries so hard to find something scary to share with its audience, the best they can do is this almost serious story. Just as a side note, their other top stories included a new psychology course for war veterans that get abusive, and another about two juveniles that accidentally set a house on fire while playing with a lighter. If you are in a good mood and want to stay that way, watch a comedy with a happy ending like CHBC. 

On the flip side, if you’re in the mood for a little drama and horror, turn to channel 20 in Penticton for twenty four hours of  news that makes you want to lock your doors, put your kids on a leash, not eat anything and bring your gun to the park when and if you’re brave enough to step outside. CNN scares the shit out of me. Finding one “feel good” story on CNN.com or CNN channel is merely impossible. Bombs dropped in Iraq, new disease discovered, tsunami warnings, mother kills her kids, economy crashing, people losing houses and entire life are just a few stories I came across from our neighbors down south. The cause of this may-ham only an hour south of us is any ones guess. But this wouldn’t be a blog if I didn’t get a piece of my mind into the reasons of why.

So what my reasoning is rooted to are a few simple things that started a long time ago which have now perpetuated into a long multiplying strand of “shitiots”. Two things were put together in this world that shouldn’t have been; guns and egos. Imagine a line up of individuals from each representing country on the planet; who thinks they are the biggest hero? America! The land of the free. Which over the years seems to have translated for them as “everything we want is free and we will take it”.

Don’t get me wrong, I know some smart Americans. But no matter how hard those smart ones work, the dumb ones will out populate the smart ones 10 to 1. This is exactly what has happened, and thus the status of the U.S.

Being rude, arrogant, pushy, violent and egotistical will eventually drive America into being a hated, uncontrollable spiral of shit which will lead to conditions worse than many African countries.

Think about it.

 I’m not making up this Ego.
