Suburbia Predetermined

What is wrong here? I am surrounded by the same thing wherever I go in any of the Texas suburbs. I am surrounded of course by a mall with a Sears, Foleys, and Dillards …a movie theater with all the same terrible movies. Nearby a Bennigans and Chilis… don’t forget Walmart, Target, and Kroger …Home Depot, Lowes, Radio Shack, and Best Buy with a Papa John’s/Pizza Hut war racing towards the neighborhoods where all the houses look the same!

The kids of course go to schools that have the same texts, same rules, and same methods with kids that want the same things, watch the same things, and eat the same crap food. Don’t forget about McDonalds too! You cannot have a proper childhood without a sufficient McDonalds indoctrination! (I wonder how many landfills are filled in 20 years with Happy Meal toys alone?)

Don’t forget about NFL, NBA, and MLB! You are suppose to want to watch these, because they really matter in life and are worth the gobs of time and money! And we all hear the same news, because we know it is the truth and the rest of the world agrees with it. How could anyone hate us? How dare they!

Then our sugar-addicted materialistic unthinking little monsters grow up with a SALARIED (<- enslavement) position paying the high price for health insurance due to the unhealthy predecessors before them contracting so many preventable illnesses and cancer from all the toxins in the environment and food. They continue to unthinkingly cycle the machine again simultaneously spending time and money on Discovery Toys, because peek-a-boo isn't good enough to teach object permanence anymore. As the profit-motivated 'social gathering' continues, it is commonly mentioned that we should all support the diversity in our society.

Dear God, please don't let all this crap be globalized!
