So, I bought this neato Cuisinart one-cup coffee maker. It is so easy and I can set it up the night before and I only have to dump the filter and rinse the holder to clean up. Easy hot coffee. It also does grind and brew. So I finally got some whole beans and pressed ‘grind and brew’ and it ground the coffee into the filter and stopped. Dead. Tried it again bypassing the grind feature and still dead. I have had this thing less than two weeks, and finally tossed the box, because it works, right? Wrong. Frustration. Why is everything made today just shitty? Oh, capitalism. Profit is the only thing that matters. Quality costs more, meaning less profit. I need to go back to bed. Sheesh!

I really should not check instagram and Tumblr in the morning. It ruins the entire day when It becomes very obvious that while we will be sitting around on the fourth of July, barbecuing our hot dogs and burgers, our country is being destroyed by the deliberately engineered ignorance of a huge segment of the population. People who were not taught how to think, how to reason, how to ask questions, but to just blindly believe what they are told and obey unquestioningly. Under-funding schools and under-paying teachers leads to under-educated citizens who have no ability to think for themselves and who it seems are now confusing the Constitution with the Bible. Separation of church and state is getting lost on purpose. If that is the kind of country you want to live in, ruled by fake-Christian dictators, forcing you to live by their idea of what is acceptable (meaning profitable for them), then go ahead and vote Red or even better, don’t vote at all. When you wake up in that country, think about what you have done, but it will be too late.
