Fear of paranoia

Class of beautiful people,


Do we all fear risk? Do we all know what we are really fearing? Lets take an example of what I saw on the news this past Saturday. A mountain lion was spotted near Fremont Older, A place I mountain bike weekly. It turns out that I was there and saw this SAVAGE BEAST OF FLESH EATING CARNIVOROUS TEETH, AND DEATH DEFYING ACROBATICS THAT ARE SAID TO DEFY GRAVITY ITSELF. Someone that was on the trails must have seen the mountain lion as well. They must of called the ranger or someone because to my amazement it was on the evening news that very evening. The picture they showed while the newscast was similar to this one shown first to the upper right.. Lets take a look at these teeth, Pretty fucking scary huh! (insert sarcastic grin here!) So the Mountain Lion I saw was perched under a tree enjoying some shade. This pissed me the fuck off ! The media insisted to portray this Mountain Lion as a beast that always poses like the above photo. What a crock of shit I though to myself. In actuality it looked more like the one pictured on the far right.

My point is that we are constantly bombarded by misconceptions of truth, either for ratings or unfortunately to control our positions on matters. Instead of showing the truth that sometimes can be so dull a snail will fall asleep, media still jumps to the front of the free ice cream line every time. Lets take 9/11 that was discussed in class today: Oh boy did we see shit hit the fan on that day. We were censored like little babies from the horrific sometimes stomach shitting image's of graphic reality. If you were to watch news reels of what France, South American, &c news stations were showing you would see peoples insides on the floor. Pictures of what a person looks like burnt to a crisp. This is all graphic and sad to think about, at least for me.....
9/11: We were alive for, maybe the most horrific conspiracy's that ever happen on American soil. I think we are the generation as well with help from the slightly older generation that is going to bring some kind of calm to all the hurt that has happen in this world. From the first bullets, to the last ad promoting smoking as sexy and cool. We must all say "FUCK the norm." We are educated and much smarter than the karma fucked adolescent deals made behind closed doors. None of us may ever know what lies beneath the soil of all this credibility gap, but one thing is for sure. We/some/ have become aware that racism, hate, and lies make our earth darker in brilliance.
