Oklahoma..The "corn" is as "high" as an "Elephant's" eye Being hunkered down from the virus has created a TV and internet cultural like never before. BTV..Before The Virus... I am fairly certain most American viewed their favorites programs, genre such as News, sports, comedies, police drama's and Reality TV...Personal choices of escapism for the time being...We turn on the TV as a viewer not a participant. But times have changed, I never would have watched before, I watched two show on Netflicks docudramas .I never would have watched before. First "An Innocent Man".. and just now "Tiger King"...They both slap me in the face wake from the nightmare. and made it REAL..... In both cases the subject matter was okay learn from.. but I don't learn that way..I learn from telling something I don't know. Something you may not be trying tell at Areas of the country.. are designated by the past and present....an evolution or lack thereof. Hippie California, Appalachia, The New Yorker, and the Confederate States of America. with common traits specific the area they live. It's not really real...jsut pocket material. Oklahoma was a "territory", "a reservation", the "badlands".. from that base Oklahoma was by a "nasty" virus.. That did not discriminate between rich and poor, and people of color...No matter who you were..You exemplified the worst of humanity.....In ignorance, compassion, hatred of government, prejudice, division, gun culture criminality, law enforcement, and a totally different kind of patriotism than the rest of the country knows Oklahoma is truly the "badlands".. a haven, for anarchists, evangelicals, Racists, Libertarians, criminals, and trailer trash..with no need to own a trailer. It's the test tube of what happens between people with different agendas. but the same mindset. Normalcy simply doesn't exist in Oklahoma.. Oklahoma attracts the worst kind of people. I never knew it...it was an American nightmare, for me, that such a place could exist.. The documentaries.. may have been a subconscious attack about that.. But I don't think so. The subjects really has nothing to do with Oklahoma. it was about the people on it... no matter who you were.... from law enforcement to criminals, the people of Oklahoma..all had the same mindset. |

I will never again be able to look at a Trump rally and the people who attend.. without thinking or saying they all "Oklahoman". I don't wish to label Oklahoma...or disparage it as a State... I just can't avoid to label that people that would Choose to live there.. Oklahoma is Trump's America.. NOT MINE Watch the shows. see the people that are interviewed from Oklahoma.. Not as native Oklahoman, just the people who choose to live there or have no choice..You could say it's a bad sample.. but i could ask to find just one normal person.. Portrayed as good guys or bad guys.. doesn't really matter.. there isn't a single one.

The Oklahoma you portray is so different to the 'Oklahoma' I grew up with, when as a child I would sometimes sing the joyful 'Oh, What a Beautiful Mornin' from my favourite gum tree's sturdy branches.

* Sorry if my post misleads - 'Oklahoma! ' the musical, is the closest I've been to Oklahoma state, let alone US.

I watched "Tiger King" and found the first couple of episodes interesting, but then it started to be extremely repetitive and boring....I kept watching ...it's a freak show...just the same stupid goons...on and on, spreading Human wretchedness.....The makers of this docu-drama seem to be wallowing in the despair, wanting to spread it as thick as possible...even glorying in it....It goes on way too long, with a lot of repetition and vapid fillers.....perhaps to evoke the mood they are attempting to convey......To me, the makers of the film only succeed in showing themselves to be as ugly as the Americans they portray..

I try to stay away from the blood and guts and violent and bloody films, but last night I actually watched Contagion to add flame to the fire!!!!! It frightened the life out of me. I hear Pandemic, the film is very popular at the moment!
