Intended rant
Well it may seem like I was either incredibly bored or really unnerved today with all of the posting. Actually, I had intended to write just a rant about how things were these days and why things are so fucked, but then I started seeing so many examples that I had to post them instead. I'm not really in a bad mood today, but I'm seldom far from realizing how screwy this country is. I guess one of the things going on with me in particular has to due with a lack of paying attention. Lately, so much has happened with Iraq to prove we're still in the wrong war making the wrong decisions. The President is still adamant that he's right even though most of the country disagrees. And the media is still playing cheerleader, claiming that the conservative perspective is the only news that matters. So what's the answer? How do we get out of this mess? To tell the truth, I don't know. If this were my world, and I was in charge, the best solution would be to remove all of this. To simplify. To go back to people living in communities and those communities caring for those people. This is a little unrealistic in our now global economy, but not really. I think we just need some sort of example. A good hearted person alive and willing to show the world how life can be much simpler and still contain the depth of experience we all wish to discover. So that those hung up on religious experience or fueled by the brutality of wars and conquests could appreciate that those feelings can still be entertained within, and yet expose the truth that the harm done to others is just unnecessary. I'm an anarchist, and I doubt much will change that viewpoint. I believe in the Utopian ideal, because there is no idealistic solution. There is no one way to do anything, and yet, there is clearly one way for every individual. We just need to start understanding why we disagree. I don't know. Maybe I'm just full of shit.
