An Open Letter to the World at Random

*NOTE* This particular piece of writing was written in early May of 2009. So it is quite out of date. Some of it I don’t even respond to as well as I did. However, I figured it fit into the kinds of writings I might include in this blog, so I’ll post it here as well. The majority of this Letter was written in a 2-3 day span and was reactionary to news articles I had read at the time. Some of it is just neat facts. Some of it simple observations. A lot of it is ranting. Anywhom;



An Open Letter To the World At Random

Albinos are not magical; please stop killing them for shamanic purposes.
Bananas do not prove, nor disprove, the existence of God. It's a stupid argument either way.
Wrinkles are a result of aging, not a cause. So can we please see an end to "anti-aging" facial restoration products?
Some scientists say global warming. Some say ice age. I say win-win.
Since when did alcoholism become a disease? It's an addiction, not an excuse. Besides, we all have our own poisons.
Charles Manson never actually killed anyone...
The Earth is much older than recorded history. People think the world is being destroyed. I have a funny feeling our planet knows how to balance itself out, and if a time has come where that involves the removal or extinction of the Human race, don't think our planet won't find a way.
It's funny how when Human Beings discover (yet another) thing about ourselves that proves our imperfectness we classify it as 'disease' or 'symptom' to remove fault from our actions or to feed our own narcissism.
To quote Marilyn Manson: "Times have not become more violent, they have just become more televised."
Everybody dies. Deal with it.
The word 'beauty' should have meaning, but not a definition.
Censorship is a curious thing. We invent these words so we can't use them. And that's all words are; inventions. They hold no real meaning or emotion in themselves. They're just random shapes or sounds strung together arbitrarily. The emotion lies within the intention.
The most well-known "classical" songs are just pop songs from long ago. Cookie-cutter stuff to appeal to the masses. Just like the music of today, you've got to dig deep to find diamonds.
Is marijuana really worth all the time and money all these governments are spending trying to get rid of it?
Prisons are too fancy. Prisoners are there as punishment so let's lose all the luxuries.
There are 125,071 known galaxies. Think about that. Galaxies. Each containing millions of stars. It is mind numbing to think about how much is out there, almost dispiriting. And yet our entire universe might just be the unseen contents of a black hole in some other, much larger, universe.
I bet it isn't too long before Twitter becomes a lifeline on "Who Wants to Be a Millionaire?”
Thomas Edison did not invent the incandescent lamp. He bought the patent from two Canadian inventors named Henry Woodward and Mathew Evans.
Turritopsis Nutricula, a species of jellyfish, can revert to a juvenile form after it becomes a sexually mature adult. They don't die of old age; they just grow up over and over and over again.
Why aren't vertical farms all over the place yet?
Wiccan ceremonies are nowhere near as cool as they should be. Pretty lame actually.
Say what you want about them, but thistles know how to thrive.
Earth is just a celestial ashtray and we are the ash filling it up.
I wonder if Bill Hicks was right about Arizona Bay.
The story of Jesus Christ is eerily similar to a number of other stories and legends from other religions in the Mediterranean, Egypt and even in Pagan lore. These stories contain a messiah, a virgin birth and incarnation of spirit in flesh. Some even contain travels through a desert, a crucifixion and a resurrection as well as a December 25th birthday. The difference being that the Mediterranean, Egyptian and Pagan stories came around hundreds and hundreds of years before the birth of Christianity or the Bible.
Having a lower case " i " as a prefix for product names (ex. iPod, iLite, iRiver, etc.) does not make consumers feel more attached to the product. It doesn't make it seem more personal. It is just a stupid and annoying marketing ploy.
Supreme Reptilian overlords disguised as Human Beings do not exist. I know that's a bold statement, but i feel pretty confident in making it.
I believe that, had he been marketed correctly, Eric Freeman could have been as big as Bruce Campbell.
Let's see original screenplays again. It seems nowadays if a film isn't a sequel or prequel or just an out-right remake it's based on a book, a play or an historic event. I want to see original scripts that are written with the intent of being a movie.
Scientists, marine biologists and oceanographers who specialize in the 'ocean deep' complain about the lack of interest and awareness. Their main technique of persuading people to pay attention and to take an interest in the ocean deep is to recite the following: "We know more about the surface of the moon than we do about our own oceans." Well of course we do dipshit. There aren't miles of water blocking our view of the fucking moon. If there were, we wouldn't care a bit about the moon and we sure as shit wouldn't have landed on it. We care about the moon and land in general because it is easy to.
Why is it that when a Danish newspaper printed drawings of the prophet Muhammad some Muslims freaked out and people were even killed and yet when the television show 'South Park' had Muhammad not only depicted but walking and talking in a parody of the Justice League nothing really happened?
The 'Dirty South' movement in hip-hop has, in fact, destroyed the genre altogether. (And what's with all the Lil's?)
P.E.T.A. should be treated as a terrorist organization.
Pirates today have no style. They're just thugs with no land.
One time, in a store, I saw a Nut-Free Gingerbread Man. Shouldn't they be called Gingerbread Eunuchs?
Questioning specific events of the Holocaust does not equal Nazi sympathy or anti-Semitism. It is just an understanding of the American propaganda machine, and Dwight D. Eisenhower was a master of this machine.
Dear MENSA: a two year old? Are you serious?! Fuck off.
Thanks for the time. Questions, comments and vehement arguments are welcome.
