Have you noticed how many new things on the market are called 'smart'? Ya got smart utility meters, which
if the scuttle butt is correct at all, means the powers that are failing have an access into our homes and
private business. Now I dunno much about the smart meters myself, and haven't really given the whole issue
much attention, but today I saw them advertising a smart TV and alarm bells immediately started ringing.

Smart used to have other meanings. Smart kids in school got on the honour roll. You looked quite smart
when you got dressed up to go out, and of course there's the ever faithful smart arse...my personal fave.
Smart. Who invented such a silly sounding word in the first place?

Now it seems there's a whole new layer of smart around the place. Smart machines that can spy on us or
whatever. Ya know the elite controllers of this world are generally NOT my favourite folks, but they
are CLEVER aren't they? OK, here's the deal, we are gonna hook everyone up so that we can see exactly
what you're doing, what you're using, and what you might be willing to consume more of. Then they do
their directed marketing business. They are mandated to tell us what they are doing, so they come up
with these code words for things. Smart in this case.

Nobody has ever accused me of being trendy or fashionable, so I'm usually among the last to 'sign on' to
new programs. We finally HAD to get a set top box for our old Sony Black Triniton TV because they ceased
broadcasting analog, but we are still cooking along on our old 21 incher. I kinda doubt if the whole
smart meter business will get out this far for quite some time, if ever. Population is too small and
distances to great to make it worth their while. Same thing with chemtrails...we just don't get them.
Quite like it like that to be honest. So now the sly bastids are sticking their 'smart' stuff on TVs.

I'm not sure why I even started this mini rant to be honest. I just saw a commercial for one of those
smart TVs and for some reason it rubbed me wrong. I'm getting bloody tired of those who are no longer
serving playing their last and final cards. Let's get this business OVER WITH!

It feels like paradise is just there, just a few steps away, but there's this something in between.
I reckon that something is the folks who REALLY don't wanna get outta the current game. Folks who
actually LIKE life like this. Don't ask me how that works cause I really do NOT understand, but
there ya go.

Well, there, got that off my chest, guess I can carry on with my day now
