Patriotism Isn't For Everyone

I was walking home from school, or at least that’s were I told my mom I went. Only I haven’t gone to school in about three weeks… I stopped going right after they decided that I shoud see the school counselor for my “behaivoral problems.” Somehow, speaking my mind is not a behaivoral problem. So the teacher may not agree with it, but hey, I thought opinions were supposed to be immunity to being told you’re wrong? I guess not… As of lately, I’ve lost all faith in the education system of this glorious, deluded nation known as the USofA.

I mean, the teacher asks us for our opinion on the Cold War. I give it to her. Apparently, any degrading comments whatsoever about this country will not be tolerated. So I just stopped going….Instead I wander around, talking to random people, mostly homeless guys, sharing my delusional beliefs. They appreciate me way more than those authortative bastards back at school…

Oh well…patriotism isn’t for everyone.
