Pardon The Profanity (Pre-Election Rant)

Let me begin by saying that I didn't have any sort of preparation when writing this. No outlines, you know—those nifty little things that many writers use when wanting to write stuff, the one where you put capital letters or roman numerals and then follow a topic sentence to it, and then topic points below it or subtopics, etc. You know what I’m talking about, I know you’re not stupid, or maybe you are. Anyway, you’re the only one who knows you better—or maybe not. Let me get back to what I’m talking about. Yeah, no outlines, no drafts, you know—that kind of crap, just good old cut-throat ranting.
            Yeah, rant. This rant is all about you and you’re good old favorite, lovable senatorial candidates. You know why I treated you like a stupid illiterate at the beginning of this—whatever! Because most likely, you yourself didn't even notice that those sons of bitches running for senator have been treating you like sad little fucks who know nothing about politics. With their chiddy-childish jingle crap, emphasizing their names or nicknames perhaps to defiled, probably copyrighted, musical choruses or whatever you call that shit. And I just made up that “chiddy-childish” expression to make a point! Because apparently, Microsoft Word made a red zigzaggy line under it! Even “zigzaggy” was underlined too! Anyway, maybe you really don’t know a thing about politics or economics. Not one thing! Am I right!? Hah! This country is doomed as it already was more than a hundred years ago!
            I've noticed that almost, if not all candidates advertise the same thing, affordable or free food, affordable or free education, more jobs, higher pay, shit like that—typical. Every election it’s always the same fucking thing. You’d think that people will learn that whatever the fuck these motherfuckers are offering is simply and utterly STUPID AND IMPOSSIBLE! Well, not really impossible, look at North Korea, they’re doing pretty fucking well, right? That’s the reason why none of these so called, “factors of progress,” (Yes, I just made that up, don’t patronize me) which is clearly just shit covered in ice cream, have ended well or made an utter difference in the economy’s success! Things like that are only enticing to lazy and/or ignorant fucks like—well maybe not you, you might as well be less lazy than me actually and some may be more politically inclined, like hell, I don’t know—but people, majority of the people, like about 95% of the population. That makes for about 90 million ignorant minds walking around trying to vote their way into life rather than actually working for it!
            You know why these things are doomed to fail!? You know why!? Well let me give you a little bit of Economics 101, basic supply and demand. Ah, hell no! I’m not going to waste my typing skills in explaining things detailed (I can type at around 60-70 WPM with 97% accuracy by the way. Hire me if you need a typist!). Let me just explain it this way; the economy is always trying to balance itself naturally, from the prices of goods or services, to the payroll of workers. The relationships between variables may be either directly proportional or inversely proportional. Assuming that the government doesn't mess things up, naturally, prices would come to the lowest level possible due to competition. But some may argue that if there is no government regulation, there would be a lack of competition, I’m just gonna say that that is just a truckload full of shit, because if you look at the many monopolies of the world—electricity generation and distribution, water distribution, etc.—are labeled with government crap all over its crappy logos and banners and that it is an entirely different subject. Back to my point, the reason why prices will go to its lowest level possible (take note, “possible”) is because if you are stupid enough to raise your price above other competitors, and to top that, if you have crappy quality or service value, no person in his/her right mind would buy from you. The economy always comes to a balance. That’s just one example among many others. I’m not going to dwell here any longer because it’s not my main point. Now, what happens if some would-be senator were to successfully pass a law saying that, “prices should be lower and that the wage-earner should be paid more,” just these two variables to make a point. What do you think would happen? How the hell could the wage-payer pay the wage-earner more if prices are to be lowered? Where would the money come from? Out of a vacuum? Out of the ass of that senator? Prices would lower to an impossible state and workers would have wages that come from nothing! Come on, we’re better than that! Or maybe that’s not the case? Maybe, these senators will try to find of a clever sneaky way of lowering price and doubling payday. Yeah, like that’s ever gonna happen. I’m going to stop lecturing about economics now. I’m already getting bored writing this. I've been checking my Facebook page more than a couple of times while writing this paragraph.
            My real point here is, among the many other points I've obscenely presented to you, is that, I am deeply offended, by these senatorial candidates, with their jingles and their crappy platforms. It’s as if they’re treating us like little kids who need to be nannied because we can’t take care of ourselves. And yes I’m pointing out to that so called “Nanay de Pamilya” translated as “Mother of the Family” for you non-tagalog-speaking-folks. I don’t know what good could actually come out of that offensive campaign racket. Or why some people have actually thought of it as adorable or something. It disgusts me. To add more insult as it already is to injury, one particular TV channel actually aired that jingle about HOW TO BLACKEN A FUCKING CIRCLE to choose the candidate that you want! And the lyrics repeated and repeated and repeated for a million fucking times! WE ARE NOT KINDERGARTNERS!  Fuck! If you want to inform the public something about the elections, do it with something that is age appropriate for voters! KINDERGARTNERS  I RECALL, CANNOT VOTE! IN CASE YOU DON’T KNOW THAT! FUCK THE PEOPLE WHO MADE THAT INSULTING MUSIC VIDEO! AND FUCK THE PEOPLE WHO LIKED IT! Okay, let me calm down first…. Okay, now, where were we? Oh yes, next paragraph.
            To all who actually endured my obscene words and made it to read this sentence, I relay this message to you: DO NOT let yourself be insulted. DO NOT let them think that you don’t know anything. DO NOT make choices out of idiotic, childish, imbecilic emotions. Be informed, raise your standards and most of all—don’t be stupid.
            I know that I've tried to present a lot of topic points in this rant, I wasn’t kidding when I said I had no preparations when writing this. And I know I failed to present them in an orderly manner like good writers do. Like hell, sue me. I just wanted to speak my mind. And once again, pardon the profanity, it just feels empty without them.
