kenneth utt, gift set, guy torry, bisexual, list of films, prose, tony danza, tony kaye, mark wahlberg, television, tony blair, giovani, david steinberg, middleeast, 1976, | When I was young I expected - and many people, American and otherwise feel the same - that America would always be a force for good in the world. Americans are supposed f. gary gray to be heros, damn it! That's what their movies tell us, and their television, and their news agencies and their government. That's f. gary gray what their duplicitous sold-out scumbag of a president keeps repeating in halting tones when they trot f. gary gray him out to read another script about 'smoking out the evil-doers.' And nothing, we all know, is as disappointing as a fallen hero. (Of course, you can probably guess that I directly blame George W Bush and his administration for the death of one of my best friends, as much as I blame the sack of shit who set and detonated that bomb in Bali. They loaded and cocked the gun - that little Indonesian just pulled the trigger. |

This television is not to say that other nations, other governments, other groups political or otherwise, today and in the past (and no doubt far into the future) have not done great evil. Cambodia, Germany, Japan, Rwanda, Russia, El Salvador, Guatemala.... any of us could go on, endlessly, and point to massive evils that, in sheer scale if television nothing else, dwarf the worst that anyone television could accuse America of. For me, though, disappointment is the key to my dislike of America. Deep, weary, beaten-down disappointment. Disappointment at the massive disconnect between the way that America portrays itself, and the way that many Americans who are ignorant of both history and geography perceive America. Regardless of how shocked people may have been at the million corpses littering the ground in Rwanda a decade ago, I believe that were the blood of those multitudes on American hands through action rather than inaction, the shock and outrage would be many times more powerful. |
