Every day the news is more absurd than the day before:
I can't believe any of those things are happening in America in 2025.
Beacon of Speech has two guiding personalities at its core: Fred and Ted
Beacon of Speech's Guiding Core: Free Speech
Fred's Guiding Core: Everything is a Scam.
Ted's Guiding Core: Everything is a Rule, Until it's not a Rule.
This past weekend, my writing has been crap. Starting articles, scrapping articles, endlessly scrolled and re-writing articles....
Yet I keep coming back to Blink-182. In the summer of 1999, there was no bigger pop-punk band in the world. Clever lyrics and catchy refrains, who didn't love Blink-182?
But when I look at the picture above now, you know what I see?

And as every day of the Trump Administration goes by, there's new insanity to be addressed.
The Left screams Fascism. The Right screams Make America Great Again. What is actually happening? To put it simply, it is the re-writing of rules.
This time, like the Blink-182 reunion, the rules will be dictated by money.
Do we have any money at Beacon of Speech? Uh, no. We are in real trouble. But a country guided solely by money becomes an Oligarchy.
When the new rules are written, there will be winners, there will be losers. The winners will gloat and the losers will whine, at least until the next election cycle. But where are the overarching principles that moves society forward? Where is the unifying force that will create the advances that will set the next generation apart?
I am telling you, we are in the generation that will find the aliens. If we can't get along with each other now, what happens when you add the aliens into the mix?
As every day brings another disaster, it's not the music of Blink 182 that runs through my mind, but the music of the Screaming Blue Messiahs.
What's the point of my article?
What's the point of anything?
