I would just like to take a second and announce a new site. Hosted here at SnoT, I give you Perpetual Motion. Now go give Democritus some love.

Last night as I lay awake I had a thought. My cold has been keeping me up late. Anyway, I was thinking of the world we live in. A world where idiots are glamorized. Where pissing off people is a better way to make money then doing a good job. Take Howard Stern for example, or Stile, or r33t. People who make it their business to get a rise out of someone else. And the public buys it.
Where did we all go wrong? People would rather watch shows that depict other people getting arrested then something that might teach them something new. Tonight on FOX: "When the public actually grows up." would be nice to see for once. Kids killing other kids, and the media decides to explain it by blaming video games and music.
Speaking of music. Look at what sells today. Bands who do things just to get attention. Manson is a tool, and he outsells most of the outstanding artists put together. I would love to see the day a band like Jimmy Eat World gets more exposure then some crap like 311. Plastic corporate music sells though. Look at the world of techno. No "band" in the world has more raw skill and talent then the greatest techno DJs. Yet they are largly unknown to the general public. Regarded by the media as "Music to kill by." Absurd!
Regardless however, we live in a world where a game calld "Deer Hunter" outsells a masterpeice like "HomeWorld." A world where a gang member is more highly regarded then a parent. A world where people starve on the streets and we actually think there it nothing we can do for him.
I am dreaming of this world and I am dreaming of waking up.
