RE: Americans Spent $318 MILLION on CHIPS to Celebrate "Freedom" for 4th of July
It's amazing that the things that seem so "normal" in our society are really dysfunctional activities that don't create any value at all. Ooohh...just imagine if we all really put our time, energy, money and devotion to making the world a better place. What an incredible difference we could make together if we were to focus on being the change. Thanks for the reality check!!
"Normal" activities that don't create value at all, but actually consume value!
Let's look at these things, let's think of these things, and YES let's imagine making the world a better place!!! Thanks for doing it with us, @everlove!!!
When I saw the honest truth, I realized there was nothing else to do!!! Live for VALUES!!
I sat here looking at your response for a couple of minutes thinking over several false starts to try to express what is in effect my agreement.
Something is wrong.
One side screams about the US being mistreated in trade agreements, but are they willing to change their tastes to favor quality over quantity in order to favor local producers? It takes time and planning and the willingness to cook.
Another side is screaming about observing 200 different genders while at the same time their favored politician can be complicit in laying sovereign nations in smoking ruins.
it feels like somehow we have trained ourselves to look at some incredibly small range of issues directly in front of our noses to the exclusion of EVERYTHING else. It feels like an almost religious certainty over one's views rather than something can evolve.
I am almost beginning to support the idea of apathy. After all, what else would be the opposite of zealotry? ;-p
