Heard on the radio today...

And this was an alternative music station.

A 20 something guy calls in to request a song, and starts talking to the DJ about gas prices:

Guy: I've got to hear something to keep my mind of these gas prices. They are killing me and my buddies.

DJ: Yeah. It's incredible. What's that all about anyway. I thought we had a bunch of gas under Alaska!

Guy: We do, but we can't get it 'cause they say it would hurt the animals.

DJ: Right. (snicker)

Guy: Look, I don't want to hurt no coyote, but if I can get gas for a buck seven, and it cause a coyote to die, I say kill the damn coyote!

DJ: (Laughing) Right! Forget PETA! We need cheap gas!

Then they launched into a discussion denigrating Canada.

I'm beginning to really despise the people in my country. I think we have totally lost whatever moral standing we ever had in the world, and are now just a bunch of arrogant assholes who think that the world belongs to us.

Those of us who still care about democracy and freedom might be better off emigrating to a more civilized country and leaving America to the Murikans.

What has always made America great is the people, but if the people are all going to pot then America isn't so great any more, is it?

Today I was talking to some guy in this class I was taking at work.

He said something about it being too hot to retire here. I said, "yup."

He asked where I was going to retire. I said "Calgary."

His eyes got big and then he said, "I'm sorry."

What the fuck? First the freepers tell us we're un-American, then when we do want to go somewhere else, they take PITY on us?

Whatever, asshole.
