What will be the straw that breaks the back of a worldwide malaise that seems to make people incapable of stepping up to the plate, protesting, taking action, screaming, fighting, kicking and biting or be just being pissed off at what is going on in the world; whether it be the Junta and those gaggle of generals, who don’t have names in Myanmar, who seem to have no souls and won’t let their citizenship receive much needed supplies, medicine, food and services their ravished country needs so badly. Is this evil beyond the ken or what? Or will it be Mugabe’s iron fist putting down his country once again with inevitable grossness and malice? Or will it be the recklessness of Hamas in the streets of Beirut? Will it be the strains of the worldwide economies? The cost of gas? The war in Iraq? No most of this is already here and the voices of imperilment are mute. What will it take? Sure as sure, I know one thing that might heat up the embattled souls courage and create some real old fashioned ire from the populace and then I hear as I write this that there has been an earthquake in China that threatens to have killed an estimated over 8000 people already. There’s a volcano blowing its top in Brazil and scores of tornadoes in America destroying homes and killing people. So what will it be to get people off their couches? Again, I can see one thing on the horizon that might just raise the ire in the world and it is possibly the only thing that will get the attention of a worldwide population, who in a majority seem not to give a shit about anything. What they will care about more than anything in life is a rise in the price of beer. Yes, the luscious lager of worldwide delight is going up in price big time. Like gasoline, but you can’t drink gasoline. Yes, with the farmers in the world growing corn for ethanol, hops, the grain that makes beer beer are becoming rare and far between. The worldwide elixir is going to cost an arm and leg soon. Good old Bud has gone up about 3% in the last 3 months and people in Germany are bemoaning the fact that at this year’s Oktoberfest a litre of beer will be costing near $11.00 compared to $9.00 last year. As it is well documented beer consumption in America is about one beer a day for every human above the age of 21; it can only be speculated that there are going to be some pissed off people that are going to be pissed off as they piss away beer, you rent it and don’t buy it. They will be paying a lot more for that rent. Finally a real reason to be pissed off…
