Land of Broken Dreams

Greetings good citizen, despite the 'platitudes' of the tastemakers/opinion leaders and their ilk, the types that tell you 'you become what you believe' meaning people like ME who are always, er, 'negative' are that way because of our beliefs.

Like this is paradise and it's me who is 'imagining things'...

The saltpeter here is most of you think I am exaggerating UNTIL IT COMES HOME TO ROOST!

Only then do you suddenly consider that I might have a point. For my 'peers',[The 50 to 70 crowd] most of you look at your lives and think, could have been worse' (juxtaposed against the reality that things aren't even remotely like you planned they'd work out.) If there were a prize for falling short of the mark, you'd win.

Where are those nut-jobs that tell you, 'you become what you believe!' Now?

You are being manipulated good citizen. Part of the media's 'disinformation campaign' is convincing you your 'dissatisfaction' is caused by your 'lack of perspective.'

Things could be a lot worse (as you will soon see for yourself.)

While I crank about the baloney-boppers currently in charge, I am an advocate for positive change!

It's the cesspool the greed-heads have created that needs desperately to be addressed. I don't think I'd get much dissent when I opine that The Donald has yet to display even a fraction of the 'mental horsepower' necessary to tackle the task...even if I 'solve' the problem for him!

Simple equation, paychecks cut, expenses slashed as well. Housing and transportation must become 'freebies' and what work there is must be 'shared'.

See, didn't even work up a sweat doing that so it's not that the 'problems' are insoluble, the will to solve them doesn't exist!

How 'short-sighted' is that?

Here's an interesting question...how many of you find the idea that since we are [currently] the dominant species on this planet, the care of this planet becomes our responsibility?

Most of us would subscribe to such a belief.

With that as a given, what 'report card' would you provide to those currently charged with the task?

How many of you gave an F-minus?

If you won't fight to save your own helpless children, would you at least join the fight to save the planet from the 'exploiters'?

The battle ahead centers on our need to reproduce countered against the, er, 'diminished need' for more humans. If we fail to expand into space it is very likely we will 'extinguish ourselves.

One thing is certain [as hinted at in yesterday's piece titled 'Crossroads'] the current path leads to extinction.

Since the 'strongest' feature that makes co-operative civilization possible is trust, how will that trust be maintained knowing half of us are murderers you don't dare turn your back on?

Naturally, that's the last thing the media wants you pondering. Today's general 'prevailing opinion' is we belong to a society of murderous thieves...we might well think extinction isn't a bad thing. Only because the 'wrong type' [temporarily] have the upper hand.

We need to demonstrate to the, er, 'greenhouse orchids' [a.k.a. children raised in a bubble thanks to the ruthless acts of their parents] that they are NOT all that AND a bag of chips!

Can't keep breaking things, expecting them to fix themselves because society doesn't allow us that much 'wiggle room'.

Makes sense to me, the trick is getting it to make sense to you too!

Thanks once again for letting me inside YOUR head,

Gegner
