What the fuck is this acer dell shit and when did the computer industry become the biggest lying sack of shit industry on the planet.
I have a theory that explains a lot. If you eat vampire squid, you become a vampire squid.
Dealing with vampires:
1. They cannot handle the light of day. (If you look at their books, they die).
2. They don't cast a reflection. They never have to look at themselves. Makes it easier to keep drinking the lifeblood of the country.
3. The sometimes have to be totally dismembered to be sure they are dead. TBTF vampires need to be busted up using anti-trust laws.
4. They have the power of mesmerism, keeping the american public (via media) hynotized and distracted, while they do as they please. It is the mesmerism we must break out of if we stand a chance of saving ourselves.
I could go on. This was a great metaphor, except it may just be how it is!!!
