We as a society have become a bunch of fat, lazy, people who expect everyone else to tell us how to think. We absorb ourselves with celebrity sex scandals and the current popular sitcom. Tell me how this has any permanent impact on our lives. Why do we sit back and let the government do what it wants as long as our daily dose of crap on t.v. is the same? Does anyone know that the Federal Reserve is a private organization? How many people know about the Copenhagen treaty and the affects it would have on each and everyone of us? What about the current health bill? How about cap and trade? Why are we so content to sit around and talk about stuff like John and Kate when there is actually things of substance to discuss? People need to wake up out of their zombie state and DO something. Stop letting the government solve all the problems. They have only created more. Make the "elected" officials responsible for their actions. VOTE! Call your elected senator and tell them how you feel about issues. in order to do that you have to investigate the issues. Don't depend of Fox news or CNN to tell you how to think. They all obviously have their own spin. Educate yourself, motivate yourself, and then motivate those around you. Can you imagine what would get done if everyone took that hour or two a week that they spent watching crap on t.v. and worked on solving a real life problem. What if we all worked on solving the homeless issue? Or what if we all talked about solutions to the health care problem instead of talking about who so and so slept with. What if each of us decided to think for ourselves instead of trusting what society tells us is "normal?" What if instead of putting so much energy into our selfish pointless desire to reach the top of the social network, we used that energy to solve hunger in Africa? Or used energy to help Rwanda recover? Why or why are we so happy to waste our whole lives away on nothing?
