  • I’d go a step farther and say it’s time to come up with an entirely new type of monster.

    I don’t mean “villain” like a Candyman, or a Jeeper’s Creepers, or a Terrifier, or something like that. People make up new ones of those all the time.

    I mean an entire new class of monster. Vampires, Werewolves, Zombies, etc… Where are the classes of monsters that represent our modern sensibilities?




  • That’s the easy part. Remove corporate money from politics and severely punish any hint of corruption before it spreads.

    It needs to be made very very clear that these assholes represent their constituents, not big business. Any district has the absolute authority to recall their representative at any point; no argument, no appeal. If they fight the recall, it’s treason and is punished as such.

    The system isn’t without redemption. We’re only here because they forgot that they work for US. And we lost the wherewithal to make them remember that. Three…maybe four heads roll (literally), and they’ll remember how politics is supposed to work for the people.

    For example: The moment Ted Cruz ran to Mexico and left his state in freezing temperatures, his own constituents should have dragged him from his mansion by his toenails and strung him up. If they did, you think the next person would try that shit? If we let them get away with it, they’ll keep doing it. Nip it in the bud right from the start. Get out of line and we’ve got no problem fucking your shit up.

    Politicians need to be very afraid of their constituents.
