Allright, So, I was in the store a few days ago with my sister. and I saw this shit "Annies Home Grown organic peace pasta & parmesan." It has a tye dye back ground, and a retarded bunny on the front, with a peace sign necklace hanging from his neck, and his two little bunny fingers in a peace sign. Along with his apposable thumb, or course. But wait..It gets better. Let me break down what the back of this unnapatizing meal says.
" The peace symbol is free. It belongs to all freedom loving people everywhere."
My Response: Well, no shit. But it's clear who this box is aimed at. All of the cliche hippies everywhere like "Woo! Go Freedom! Even though I don't pay attention to the news or pick up a fucking news paper!" Fuckers.
"It has no copyright, on purpouse."
My Response: What is that suppoused to mean? 'On purpouse'? Oh, you didn't put it under copyright, the corrupt government did. Michael moore said so, so it MUST be true!
"When It came to the United states, it first showed up during the civil rights movement. It has been seen on the berlin wall and all around the world from Sarajevo to South africa."
My response: 1. How did it -come- to the United states, because I know for a fact that it didn't fucking grow legs and toddle on over here.
2. No no, wait, it didn't come here, it showed up during the Civil rights movement. -POOF- a peace sign.
3. Of course it has been seen everywhere, it's universal. You should beleive that.
"Peace is embraced by all in a number of ways. -insert peace sign here-"
My Response: Yeah, peace is embraced. That's why most people I know love mosh pits and wouldent hold the door open for an 85 year old man
who was on fire.
"While nations continue to strive for universal peace, each of us work for peace in arenas smaller then the world stage--the workplace, the community, the neighborhood, and certainly the family."
My Response: ...nations are not striving for universal peace. Americans live for war, because americans live for money. That's how it goes.
"One practice from the past that has recently re-gained favor is the act of sitting down together for meals. Slow down, savor a meal, share moments of your lives, and sevure yourselves a few minutes of peace."
My response: Re-gained favor? Dude, I only know like..three people that sit down and eat with their families. I'm usually away, my mom is cleaning something, the step chillun' are yelling at each other, and my step-dad is watching the football game, turning the volume up and telling his kids to stop it. Fast pace is a way of life. -DEAL WITH IT.-

How facist of a nation are we to have food taunt us with the notion of peace? Do we seriously have to look at noodles of an organic meal and say "Oh, that's right, I have to be kind to my fellow man today!" Really, If you are a christian, buddhist, Taoist...or whatever, don't be nice to people because you want to go to heaven, or reach nirvana, or become rencarnated as a human, do it because it's compassion, because it's nice to do, because you'll feel good about YOURSELF while doing it. Do we really need a bunny telling us what to do? Are we that dependant on order? Because if we are, we should all be running around in diapers right now, whining to our oh-so-wonderful-president, hoping he'll do something besides try to color in the lines. (Yes, most of you know my oppinions on how I suppourd Bush, but some of the things he has done recently make my hair curl even MORE.)
Those are my thoughts/rants for today.
<3 Reggie.
P.S.: Leave your comments, they'll be priceless.
