Op-ed (in tweet form)

Op-ed (in tweet form): Happy #4thOfJuly to states that practice liberty. #USA ranks 15th in freedom, and will keep falling if the fruitcakes (AL, AR, ID, KY, LA, MS, MO, ND, OK, SD, TN, TX, UT, WY) with trigger laws use tax dollars (even though they worship small government) to promote their inner Taliban.

The American obsession

Raise your hand if you spend time watching TV (seriously, does anyone own a TV in 2018?), streaming shows, browsing the web, posting on social media, relying on a plastic device? If your hand is up chances are you're using American brand names. Now if you rely on the aforementioned to the extent that it consumes more of your life than actually living then congrats, you're a human that is officially wasting your life away!

We’re all going to die, so while you're alive tabulate how much time you spend on American creations, compared to say: riding a bike, smelling roses, protesting (as in making a stand in public against injustice), eating breakfast with loved ones, giving the downtrodden a hand. I can just picture brains exploding, not pretty, is it? I don't know what's worse, Americans getting in lost in a plastic lifestyle or those living outside the U.S. desperate to get on American owed sites to revel in anti-Americanism.

We have two choices as humans (especially of the variety that live in places with clean drinking water and a half decent life expectancy). We can either leave this world having spent more time on American creations then actually living or detox from the white noise, so we can actually have an obituary written about us that doesn’t involve he/she spent more time on devices than spontaneously being lost in the physical world. Making a snow angel is way more cathartic than checking your mentions on social media.

My advice to non-Americans: if you're obsessed by this great nation, please move here, don't listen to the hysteria from Neanderthals who happen to be in government, America's always open. Stop using all things America and make the move, you'll feel better celebrating/putting down America while you live on its soil. Next time you do down the American technology rabbit hole, step back and use your passport. To those without documents, fear not, the U.S. still respects the undocumented, after all, this is a land built and founded by humanity in all its form.

My advice to Americans: just because you own most of the world's most famous brands and pretty much the whole world is connected by an American product, doesn’t mean we should celebrate it by sitting at home and wasting away. I know getting arthritis and losing your eyesight on plastic devices is all the rage, but just say no!

If you think long and hard, you'll realize that it's embarrassing just how of what we do 24/7 has American influence. Who do you know in your circle that doesn't use a product associated with the following: Amazon, Apple, Facebook, Google, Microsoft, Netflix. Scary isn't it? That's just the tip of the iceberg...Look in your pantry, wardrobe, cinema/TV, music you consume, and you'll soon realize you're as pro-American as they come.

Time to practice what I preach, time to shut off the white noise and get out and protest against humans with their heads down. You never know your luck in a big city: one day humans might just spend more time smelling roses than fondling plastic devices. Deep down no one wants to die a life not lived, so I recommend switching off and making a snow angel, if that's too hard, roll down a hill.
