Anthropophobia

I think I am developing a very serious case of Anthropophobia. Anthropophobia is the fear of people and/or society. I don't have many phobias and I really think everyone should have at least one crippling fear so I did some research and discovered that Anthropophobia was the PHOBIA FOR ME! And if you had any sense at all it would be your number one phobia too.

Here's why...

EVERYONE AROUND YOU IS (OR IS WELL ON THEIR WAY TO BECOMING) COMPLETELY FUCKING NUTS!

Want proof?

A judge recently in Florida ordered two opposing lawyers in a case who were unable to agree on ANYTHING (even the smallest little details like where witness depositions would take place) to resolve their disagreements by playing PAPER, SCISSORS, STONE. Of course it is Florida we are talking about here... they don't even know how to vote down there so that's not so crazy I suppose.

But wait there's more!

Arizona - 2 parents have been recently charged with rewarding their children for good behaviour by giving them MARIJUANA. Actually... when I think about it I wish I had parents like that - I would have done a LOT better in school. At least they were taking some sort of interest in their children's lives and trying to encourage them to do their best. That's better than the majority of parents do these days.

New York - Some dipshit would-be criminal tried to rob an auto parts store Rochester. The employees responded to his robbery attempt by beating the living shit out of him with a metal pipe. He survived. He's sueing them. Well I guess he was just trying to do his job (hey everyone needs to fill SOME position in this society after all)... how would YOU feel if you got the shit beat out of you for doing your job?

Utah - A lady was arrested for lewdness for exposing herself in a store. Seems she was riding around in the store in a motorized cart with her pants around her ankles and no underwear on. I wonder if the store was cited for any health code violations? The woman said she was in town with a travelling circus but had been left behind when they left town. Ahhh those crazy circus folk... what would we do without them?

Those are just a few examples I grabbed out of the news online today but you don't have to look very far or hard to see what I mean... just take the time and really observe the people around you... hell you might be shopping right next to stranded circus folk and not even know it. People around you might be making all of their decisions based on the outcome of a children's game! Who know's? It might be how the parent's of those kids in Arizona came to the decision to give their kids pot as a reward... who the fuck knows? You may be sued for defending yourself against a criminal attack... and the resulting lawsuit may be decided by a lively round of PAPER, SCISSORS, STONE!

See what I mean?

The whole world is going FUCKING INSANE!

I suggest staying inside and waiting it out.

You'll be glad you did... I know I am!
