Time to start ranting again.

I've noticed something. My blog has been empty the last month and a half. Empty because I haven't posted, but also empty because no one reads it anymore. I think that this is due to two main reasons. One, I stopped my rants. Two, I started posting about cars. Now, I figure that people read blogs because ranting is popular these days. When one person rants, its easy to join in. Its nice to know that your fellow human being is vociferously opposed to stupidity. Whining and complaining is a lot more fun to most than actually being positive. As cynical as it sounds, I tend to think that blaming others and shirking responsibility brings us closer together than the almighty love.

What?! No way you say. How dare you imply that negativity can reign and somehow unify us. Its true though. Do you think that love will get you better cable service? Do you think love will overcome your boss' unreasonable blubbering?

I think that the commonality of ranting derives from the laziness of our fellow citizen's minds. Its so much easier to let your brain conjure up a million reasons as to why your day is going bad. Try to come up with 5 reasons why you love life. It takes effort doesn't it? You can name a million reasons why your significant other annoys you, but when they ask you why you love them... you have to stop and think. Why?!!!

The thing is, 99% of people are lazy. Western Civilization's change (I avoid the use of advancement or success - it is neither the way I see it) has made it easy to be that way. Television, cheesy music, synthetic leather, potpourri, climate control, and Taco Bell have made it easy for us to deluge our five senses without actually having to work at it. This was fine before, but now we're lazy in thought.

So how will I ameliorate this problem? How will I revolutionize the collective psyche to stop ranting and start thinking? I'll start with this rant I guess. Oh well, sometimes my hypocrisy knows no bounds.
