Been reading up on our government, scary shit afoot.

What in the hell is wrong with our government? I just watched freedom to fascism by Aaron Russo, on U-Tube, really makes me think The USA is fucked up bad, not the people, please don't get me wrong, the government. My lordy, I mean, damn, unbelievable how I could have been so fucking stupid to believe that our government was a somewhat well intentioned bunch. All through growing up I would hear how lucky I was to be American, and how good and powerful our country is, and laws are to protect people. But what I was experiencing, and observing in life weren't jiving with the spew I had absorbed.
Then, I discovered the net, I grew up in the computer age, started out with a Timex Z-80, Whooo-hoo what a power house, a whopping 1K ram,...... that's it. Then, one Christmas, I became a computer nerd with my Commodor 64, Whooo friggin hoooo This bad boy packed an incredible 64K damn, I could write programs for the space shuttle, n, shit. Then, for my B-Day, 2 months after x-mas, I gotz me a MODEM, and the new groundbreaking "Prodigy", interactive service Whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaheeeeeeeeeeee.
For about an hour. I mean it was cool and all, but if I wanted to know the weather, I just looked out the window, ya know?
Then, I moved into the PC world of IBM Whoooooooooooopie Dedoooooooooo
A blazing 4.77 Khz, 250 Kb HDD, a green monitor, baby, watch out, my first upgrade, a VGA color video card, and Sony Trinatron color monitor, SAHAZAAAAAAAAAMMMMMMMMMMM.
Took me about a week to totally crash, to the point of almost, letting the blue genie out of the bottle.(blue genie being smoked computer guts) After some coaxing my brother in law, who happened to build PC's for large company's, took a look at it, and around a year later I got it back, with a bigger HDD. Free. Now, keep in mind, this was around 1985-86.
I've lost count of how many PC's I've smoked since, but lot's, hey, gotta learn somehow.
I'm the kinda guy, that if a warning sticker says not to do something, I just gotta do it to find out why. Yeah, it get's expensive after a while, and I'd prolly still have them fingers, and still be able to see outa that one eye, but, hell gotta learn somehow.
