Adolescent Angst in America

   
   "Adolescent Angst in America"
   
   The mentally ill, huh, press?  Having an eating disorder is more than synonymous with being mentally ill, and practically all Americans do.  If someone is an obese person who makes their own personal gravy due to anything besides a thyroid problem or California case of the carnivorous munchies--they're mentally ill.  Hoarders are mentally ill.  Most people live in filth, clutter, dust bunnies, unless hopping around all cool to induce a mysterious atmosphere, toilet smudge, or saunter about in their own homegrown toe-jam--they're mentally ill.  People who wear sandals, picking up all the spilled and spiked steps of those before them; plus, rat droppings and mice hairs--they're mentally ill--no?  Then, just stupid. 
   We're warned of this or that--smoking, drinking, the Big Mac, yet some of those folks don't do the dirt nap till 120.  And those people are always like:  "3 Dr. Peppers a day--that's what did it."
   You can get the wrong leg amputated by a doctor possessed with the spirit of a cheating wife, her slowly removing his scrotum in metaphorical fashion, this anxiety contained within the theater of his mind.  Maybe we should let androids run the whole show and just be lost numbskulls--people are always going to screw up--shit happens, but don't force it to happen.  Why butt into the lives of busy folks?  Furthermore, just take a look at what the tempted teenagers are into.  They're all medically doped, absorbed with kill games, and yet some determined ones enlist in the Navy, being better built than this old man.  And isn't that what family is for--to be assholes?  Not all of them, or all of the time.  When my Grandma was in her 80's and chain-smoked with us, she drove me so crazy that I hid in my room at times, telling her beforehand that I was going to the track and bet on the ponies.  Thus, who needs more interruptions while staying alive?  Go watch the last Rambo movie and see how it works out for you.
