I have to wonder at those who criticize movies that show a "dystopian future" because it reflects what they are doing NOW. We are already about there, as far as I can see it. The recent hue and cry from the right, condemning the movie, "Elysium" is a point in fact. I salute the makers of movies that actually show what can happen if we keep going in the direction in which we are heading. It is acceptable speculation.
I also applaud those who make movies and other media programs showing the TRUTH about our past and the nastiness that those in power try to keep hidden from us and our children. They want to revise our history, revise current events and even revise the direction in which they are trying to take us. They are loud, loathsome and lunatic and I fear them because they have a lot of people fooled.
This is why I am avoiding the news. I am so frustrated. I have lived some of this nastiness and know the truth about what came before me. I am sick of the far right trying to tell me that what I know to be true isn't. They have made more ridiculous statements about history, the structure of our government and our POTUS than I can count and the slimy hits keep on coming.
I am disappointed and dismayed by a Supreme Court that votes with the power and the money. I am weary of big-money and religious groups trying to change and revise the very fabric of our constitution. I am sickened by the fact that the SCOTUS could elect a dysfunctional president (Dubya) and gut one of the most moral acts ever passed into law.
I am tired of a bug-eyed, bought and paid for "scientist" trying to tell us that global warming isn't real when we see the effects all around us. I am tired of the power and wealth-grabbers telling me "not to worry because this won't affect you," while they scheme to steal our Social Security and take away any and all social programs that would benefit those who really need them.

I am sick of Wall Street, Pat Robertson, fracking, Monsanto, Ted Cruz, the Tea Party, Dominionists and the idea that rich, white, old men America is totally special. I am sickened by seeing a so-called Christian evangelist living in a $10.5 million dollar home while he exhorts older and less educated, mostly white Americans who believe him to send him money, money they need to live.
We are no longer the greatest nation on earth and it is time we changed that. We are becoming something...wrong. We need to step in and stop the madness, NOW. In other words, I am so freaking tired of the bullshit.
Soylent Green, anyone?
