Laughing at the Enemy

Wow, things got very serious in the last post, didn't they? It appears that talking about corporations makes me lose my sense of humor. To rectify this, I decided to find some funny videos on corporate power so we could have a good laugh and de-stress a little. What I found, however, was that talking about big money makes comedians lose their sense of humor too. Even George Carlin gets a bit morose when discussing this topic, although he's certainly funnier than me.

George Carlin - You Have Owners


Since there isn't a massive surplus of funny videos on money, greed and power, I found this one instead -- a good reminder of the consequences of taking life too seriously.

The To-Do List


Even though the world appears to be rocketing to hell in a very speedy handbasket, being angry at the basket doesn't motivate it to change. If the human race is determined to be silly and destroy everything in sight, it's a good idea to savor what's left of it while we can. This post is a way of reminding myself to set down my to-do list and protest signs for a little while each day and take time to pet the cats, sing, feel the fresh air on my skin and laugh at the absurdity of it all. It's these things that inspire us to fight in the first place.

Ha! That To-Do list video hits home. I usually have a stress-induced outburst before I start thinking of the gun, though :)
