Overpriced Crap for Crops...Oh Crap!

After a mind numbing experience while watching the evening news, the psychological term Systematic Desensitization came to mind. When I was in college, I was impressed with this word since every time I used it in conversation or drinking sessions, it would evoke ooohs and aaahhhs. Somehow I felt the gorgeous chicks dig hearing pyscho-babble. So, I used it lots of times to make me look and feel gwapo in the hopes of scoring 'points' with the babes (I was a serial daydreamer). Colloquial American English had a name for it: Smart Ass.

I would boast about my limited knowledge of the systematic method to help phobic patients overcome various irrational fears. And impress my friends it did. I loved that term. I still do....until now.

From Wikipedia:

In psychology, desensitization (also called inurement) is a process for mitigating the harmful effects of phobias or other disorders. It also occurs when an emotional response is repeatedly evoked in situations in which the action tendency that is associated with the emotion proves irrelevant or unnecessary. Agoraphobics, who fear open spaces and social gatherings outside their own home, may be gradually led to increase their interaction with the outside world by putting them in situations that are uncomfortable but not panic-provoking for them. Mastering their anxiety in very small doses can allow them to take greater steps to self-reliance. Desensitization can be an alternative or a supplement to anxiety-reducing medication. Equally valid is that desensitization is the opposite of addiction Animals can also be desensitized to their rational or irrational fears. A race horse who fears the starting gate can be desensitized to the fearful elements (the creak of the gate, the starting bell, the enclosed space) one at a time, in small doses or at a distance.

I've just been skull fuc*#d! Watching the Senate hearing (on the Fertilizer Scam) via the news on TV is an insult to my intelligence and my sensibilities as a citizen of this nation. As we have learned in early childhood, telling lies evoked varied discomforts and fearful thoughts to the liar. You'd normally be afraid of the consequences if and when the lie or lies are found out.

However, a person may learn to systematically desensitize his behavior and attitude to learn to beat the "lie detectors", so to speak. Lies become gospel truth if you train hard enough and engage your brain in convincing oneself that that type of twisted mental masturbation will be a matter of self preservation and survival. Keep that in mind, you WILL lie to save your behind.

It is common knowledge that fertilizers are made mostly from excrement. I hope they stop giving us CRAP about CRAP. A lie is a lie is a lie. Period. I hope they cut the crap NOW and not after millions of pesos of taxpayers money. Once and for all, we want to see some heads roll...roll over excrement...please. Enough with the jokes, Joke Joke.

Oh Crap! I need a chocolate bar...Extra Dark.
