I Thought Zombies Weren't Real.

Many years ago when the Night of the Living Dead film was about to be released, we youngsters would watch the trailers on TV and become afraid just watching the commercials, yet we couldn’t wait for the release so we could rush downtown to go watch it. That alone is a psychological issue within itself. At any rate, when the movie was released off we went to be entertained and scared all at the same time. I remember returning home and asking my father were zombies real and of course his answer was, “no son that’s only Hollywood.” Fortunately, I didn’t dream about the film as is turned out to be more comical then scarey.
Today, I wonder how insightful my father really was concerning zombies. Each and every day as I navigate my way through the Atlanta metro area, it seems I am living in the film itself. People appear to be unaware as to how serious the situation is with our economy and actually the worlds economy, and how it may truly affect their lives. I know I have watched my own 401K bleed out as if it were a victim of a Hutu machete used against a Tutsi victim’s throat in 1994. Yet, most of the population feels as if there is nothing they can do so they medicate themselves on TMZ, or The Real House Wives of Atlanta.
The average citizen is being indirectly taught they cannot understand economics. Jargon like “fractional banking” puts fear in the average Joe or Joetta and they flee from the slight possibility they may understand what's happening with their Federal Reserve Notes, for I dare call it money because it's fiat nature disallow such a moniker. But, Joe and Joetta are of so little faith in themselves that they fall upon their knees and pray to the “Lord” to make a way when they have the power right in their own minds. So, instead of watching Zeitgeist the Addendum, Life and Debt in Jamaica or read a book like The Confessions of an Economic Hit Man, or even pick up the Wall Street Journal, they drink their beer or wine, swallow down MSG laced “feed“, watch a game, try and release their stress through sex, then pray that they will have a job tomorrow.
This is a zombie. The zombie my father told me didn’t exist. I see them every day, fearful. Afraid of their own ignorance and continue to revel in it. Ok, I sound harsh and you may say “what am I supposed to do? Walk around sad and depressed?” No. Educate yourself make your world view bigger, gain an understanding, no, an overstanding of what is going on and make your congressman and senator aware that you are aware of what’s going on. The people in Washington, including President elect Obama are counting on your ignorance in order to control you, like a wicked priest controls the zombie he made with puffer fish toxins.
