Capitalism In America

I don't really know what to say today. I want to go on and on about things, but I just don't have the energy. I want to curl up in bed and stay there all day. Unfortunately, I have to work today, which means dressing in a hundred layers and being outside in the wind, rain, and snow for customers to buy Christmas trees. If only they knew what they were doing. All these so called Christians buying trees. Its a derivative of a pagan ritual in which evergreen branches were laid out as an offering to the various sun gods to remind him of the people so he would shine again and bring the warmth of spring and with it new growth. If only all these so called Christians knew they were worshiping any amount of varieties of a sun god... and not the saviour of humanity. Oh well, like all Americans, I'm in this gig for the money. These people want to inadvertantly worship a dead god or just buy a dead tree then fine, I'll sell it to them.

This is America after all. The land of complete waste. If people want to buy something already dead and put its carcass in their home, only to take it down again in a few weeks and have it sent to the wood chipper then that is fine with me. At twenty-five dollars a pop they are more then welcome to do whatever they wish, thank you and come again!I'm not judging, just saying. I don't have one of things in my house. In my room, I do have a lovely cactus though.

So much for not feeling up to writing today. Coffee must have kicked in.
