Well it's been awhile since I wrote in here, but I have seen more things and experienced a bit mroe life, so I have a few more things to say I guess.
First let me set the stage by giving you a few links to give you an idea of the impact of my upcoming statements:

That should give you a pretty good idea of where we're at.
I think at this point trying to find a little peice of happiness or security is just about as much as one could really ask for. As difficult as that may be there are a few things to keep in mind.
The fact that we ARE living in a disposable society, there is a lack of respect and TRUST. Because of commercialism everyone is out to make a buck. It's all about money and nothing more than money. Love is here but hard to find because of this.
Sepratism is also another result of equal rights, making it even harder to find love. every man woman and child is out there for themselves and all the while you have Cathlic churches housing pedifiles that speak the word of god. Politicians lying through their teeth, robbing us blind of our very own resources. Terrorists far away and terrorist that live right amongst us.
When it comes right down to the bottom line you have to ask yourself, "Do I have a conscience?". Do I know wrong from right? Do I always do the right thing? Can I adapt? Should I make some changes? Is it too late?
Just food for thought, just thought I would lay it out this way today and see what you might think about this beautiful world we live in, aside from mother nature, the man made world seems to SUCK.

The Truth About the Federal Reserve Bank
The truth about the federal reserve
Dear American:
Pursuant to your request, I will attempt to clear up questions you have about the Federal Reserve Bank (FED). I spent much time researching the FED and these are the shocking and revealing conclusions.
THE FEDERAL RESERVE BANK IS A PRIVATE COMPANY.
Article 1, Section 8 of the Constitution states that Congress shall have the power to coin (create) money and regulate the value thereof. Today however, the FED, which is a privately owned company, controls and profits by printing money through the Treasury, and regulating its value.
The FED began with approximately 300 people or banks that became owners (stockholders purchasing stock at $100 per share - the stock is not publicly traded) in the Federal Reserve Banking System. They make up an international banking cartel of wealth beyond comparison (Reference 1, 14). The FED banking system collects billions of dollars (Reference 8, 17) in interest annually and distributes the profits to its shareholders. The Congress illegally gave the FED the right to print money (through the Treasury) at no interest to the FED. The FED creates money from nothing, and loans it back to us through banks, and charges interest on our currency. The FED also buys Government debt with money printed on a printing press and charges U.S. taxpayers interest. Many Congressmen and Presidents say this is fraud (Reference 1,2,3,5,17).
Who actually owns the Federal Reserve Central Banks? The ownership of the 12 Central banks, a very well kept secret, has been revealed:
Rothschild Bank of London
Warburg Bank of Hamburg
Rothschild Bank of Berlin
Lehman Brothers of New York
Lazard Brothers of Paris
Kuhn Loeb Bank of New York
Israel Moses Seif Banks of Italy
Goldman, Sachs of New York
Warburg Bank of Amsterdam
Chase Manhattan Bank of New York
(Reference 14, P. 13, Reference 12, P. 152)
These bankers are connected to London Banking Houses which ultimately control the FED. When England lost the Revolutionary War with America (our forefathers were fighting their own government), they planned to control us by controlling our banking system, the printing of our money, and our debt (Reference 4, 22).
The individuals listed below owned banks which in turn owned shares in the FED. The banks listed below have significant control over the New York FED District, which controls the other 11 FED Districts. These banks also are partly foreign owned and control the New York FED District Bank. (Reference 22)
First National Bank of New York
James Stillman National City Bank, New York
Mary W. Harnman
National Bank of Commerce, New York
A.D. Jiullard
Hanover National Bank, New York
Jacob Schiff
Chase National Bank, New York
Thomas F. Ryan
Paul Warburg
William Rockefeller
Levi P. Morton
M.T. Pyne
George F. Baker
Percy Pyne
Mrs. G.F. St. George
J.W. Sterling
Katherine St. George
H.P. Davidson
J.P. Morgan (Equitable Life/Mutual Life)
Edith Brevour T. Baker
(Reference 4 for above, Reference 22 has details, P. 92, 93, 96, 179)
How did it happen? After previous attempts to push the Federal Reserve Act through Congress, a group of bankers funded and staffed Woodrow Wilson's campaign for President. He had committed to sign this act. In 1913, a Senator, Nelson Aldrich, maternal grandfather to the Rockefellers, pushed the Federal Reserve Act through Congress just before Christmas when much of Congress was on vacation (Reference 3, 4, 5). When elected, Wilson passed the FED. Later, Wilson remorsefully replied (referring to the FED), "I have unwittingly ruined my country" (Reference 17, P. 31).
Now the banks financially back sympathetic candidates. Not surprisingly, most of these candidates are elected (Reference 1, P. 208-210, Reference 12, P. 235, Reference 14, P. 36). The bankers employ members of the Congress on weekends (nickname T&T club -out Thursday...-in Tuesday) with lucrative salaries (Reference 1, P. 209). Additionally, the FED started buying up the media in the 1930's and now owns or significantly influences most of it Reference 3, 10, 11, P. 145).
Presidents Lincoln, Jackson, and Kennedy tried to stop this family of bankers by printing U.S. dollars without charging the taxpayers interest (Reference 4). Today, if the government runs a deficit, the FED prints dollars through the U.S. Treasury, buys the debt, and the dollars are circulated into the economy. In 1992, taxpayers paid the FED banking system $286 billion in interest on debt the FED purchased by printing money virtually cost free (Reference 12, P. 265). Forty percent of our personal federal income taxes goes to pay this interest. The FED's books are not open to the public. Congress has yet to audit it.
Congressman Wright Patman was Chairman of the House of Representatives Committee on Banking and Currency for 40 years. For 20 of those years, he introduced legislation to repeal the Federal Reserve Banking Act of 1913.
Congressman Henry Gonzales, Chairman of a banking committee, introduces legislation to repeal the Federal Reserve Banking Act of 1913 nearly every year. It's always defeated, the media remains silent, and the public never learns the truth. The same bankers who own the FED control the media and give huge political contributions to sympathetic members of Congress (Reference 12, P. 155-163, Reference 22, P. 158, 159, 166).
THE FED FEARS THE POPULATION WILL BECOME AWARE OF THIS FRAUD AND DEMAND CHANGE
We, the People, are at fault for being passive and allowing this to continue.

Euro Replacing Dollar
It's not a good time to be holding dollars. Even Alan Greenspan gets it. Reuters reports:
Former Federal Reserve Chairman Alan Greenspan said on Thursday both private investors and central bank were shifting away from the U.S. dollar and toward the euro.
"We're beginning to see some move from the dollar to the euro, both from the private sector ... but also from monetary authorities and central banks," Greenspan told a conference sponsored by the Commercial Finance Association.
Not only from the private sector "but also from monetary authorities and central banks." Russia is the latest country to be moving assets out of the dollar. Keep your under the matress money in gold, not dollars.

Chemtrails
Really?
This is a photo of ChemTrails, what are chemtrials? read on and find out.
The people we TRUST.

Introduction
If you are unfamiliar with the subject of chemtrails, you should first read this general overview of the chemtrail spraying operations which began in earnest in late 1997. Without an introductory overview, it's difficult to understand the significance of the later informaiton being presented here. After that, you can read the 'new and recent' information posted below.
While it's initially surprising to realize that chemtrail spraying can be easily confirmed by merely looking up into the sky on any given day in most locations (with the notable exception of China, the ideal of the New World Order state which is being groomed to replace the USA), it's much more daunting to come to grips with the realization that chemtrails are primarily intended to reduce the world's population by roughly 85%.
However, methods have been discovered (discussed below) to neutralize chemtrails and return your sky to a normal blue with real clouds taking the place of the chemtrail haze and overcast which a host of disinformation peddlers are trying to convince you are just ordinary, "cirrus" clouds that "are formed from persistent contrails" (current disinformation spiel from government climatological web sites).
This "rescue" effort of neutralizing and transmuting the toxic elements in chemtrails was initiated in early 2002 with the introduction of a device called the "chembuster" which will transmute the atmospheric energy envelope from one polarity which allow chemtrails to persist, to another polarity which will cause chemtrails to disperse and fall apart. The proliferation of chembusters around the country led to another dramatic development in early 2004- legions of huge air elemental beings called "Sylphs" by ancient Greeks made their presence known by assuming cloud shapes that often look like wispy winged angels or animal forms (there are dozens of photos of Sylphs posted on the Sylph /Chemtrail page) who set about "cleaning up" the skies of chemtrail toxins by engulfing and transmuting chemtrail toxins into non-toxic substances.
If you're just finding out about chemtrails, you should read the earlier articles to understand the full extent and gravity of the chemtrail undertaking, but bear in mind that we have turned a corner on combating chemtrails and have now thrown a huge spanner wrench into the Dark Side's finely oiled Genocide Machine-from which they will NOT recover. If you want to hasten the demise of the chemtrail spraying program, please take the time to read about orgone generators, chembusters, and the use of your mind-with focused intent- to rid the sky of these poisons.
Just Google Chemtrials and see for yourself.

The Meaning of Life
Yes I am actually going to tell you the meaning of life, believe it or not. This topic has many views and many opinions, but I am sure that once you have read what I have learned that soon you too will see what I am talking about as far as the meaning of life is concerned.
When I sat down at the edge of the bed that my father lay in at the Surrey Memorial Hospital In British Columbia. My father was terminally diagnosed with a brian tumor, he fought this battle for six months and lost to this deadly illness we call cancer. As I sat at his bedside I could see and hear my fathers final disposition.
It was not about the acolades on the wall, or the cars in the driveway, or the house, the mortgage or any possession he owned. It was about memories, it was about the lives he had touched & the people that have touched his life.
Funny thing is, like I mentioned in an article about suicide and the ride. Once the ride is done you want to go back and do it again. My father said these words " I want to start over again".
Whatever it is that make us get up every morning and carry on with our lives, some of us give up and don't want to play anymore. My words to these type of people are: Um yeah, don't be lazy just do it, try and then try again, then try again, have fun doing it, make fun out of nothing that's what I do.
I could quit too, but I'm here out of respect for my father. I'm sure there is someone you want to make proud. If you feel you have let someone down then hey you still have the rest of your life to offer something.
The meaning of life:
It's about creating memories, living out your journey of adventures, living your life to the fullest, giving everything you have and then a little bit more. My father gave everything he had and in the end he left with nothing materialistic, but took with him an enormous amount of memories. He touched so many lives. He was a very generous man always giving of his time and help for so many people over the years.
Ny father was a city administrator, a member of the masonic lodge and a father to five kids whom he provided for with above average effort. There are not enough words I could type to praise him. The only thing I can really say to sum it up is that I can only try to become half the man he is.
The meaning of life is about creating memories and living out your adventures on your journey through life, so that when your lying on your death bed you will have many good and bad memories to take with you.
So if the meaning of life is to create good memories and touch lives then why are we all treating each other like the kid in the sandbox that won't let you play with one of his toys. This is our country that one is yours this is our oil that is your lumber this is our fresh water. Guess what it is all a gift to all of us, we need to learn to share more and deal with our problems better. Africa and other parts of the world are starving and ill from disease, but we can't just give them our resources or we'll lose our power? what is wrong with our society today, everyone is out for themselves and not caring about their neighbours.
We are all family here on this little planet and we all share in it's resources.
Start creating some good memories NOW and most importantly start to share more, like the planet does with us.

Are you suicidal?
SUICIDE is a permanent solution to any problem. First of all lets take a look at the big picture. You were one out of literally billions of sperm that made it to that egg and you made it to this world and you have grown into some hard times. Hard times come and go, as well as good times.
While you are here in this world you will be pushed to your limits and tested by all sources of good and evil. God gave you free will to choose for yourself and you know what is wrong and what is right, usually through your own conscience.
In the bible it say "Thou shall not kill", not only that but that your body is the temple of god, to take what god gave you and destroy it would be like someone taking a gift you bought them and destroying it right in front of you.
Admitting that your not worthy of staying here on earth is only proof that you have a lot to improve in your life, which in turn says that you have a purpose all in it's own. To become a better person, not for yourself, but for the sake of humanity.
My father passed away six years ago from cancer of the brian and for a few years after his death I spent time, daily, thinking about my purpose here on earth and why my father lost his battle to cancer at the age of 71 years old when there were people older than my father beating cancer. WHY? Is that fair? Should I take it personal? NO it is not my place to judge my own fathers existence, but it is my responsibility our of respect to my father to become the best person that I can in his absence.
For a time I thought about suicide, I'm sure we all do from one time to another. I just have too much will to live to find myself attempting such a silly act. Giving up only admits defeat and I will not give up and let anyone or any ERA control how I feel about my own life, because I know that todays really cool slang saying or song or attitude is only here for awhile until the next greatest fad. Why should I get hung up on something that is ONLY Temporary in my life. Suicide is not the answer.

POST SCRIPT Take a moment out of your life and stand at the edge of some water and watch the sun rise, it's the most inspiring thing you will ever see, all the while remembering that life isn't a destination, but a journey. There are scary parts and fun parts like any ride at an amusement park, you don't jump off the ride, you take it for all it's worth right to the end, for good or bad.
In most cases when the ride is done you want to go back and try it again. Life is that ride you can never really predict the end of, so hang on and enjoy all the bumps and turns, the ups and the downs, when it's done, you can't go back and do it again.

WE ALL HAVE CHOICES
I watched the Sunday Morning CBC News with excitement to see a segment called: "Healing The Planet, One Step At A Time." What does it take for a busy urban doctor to reduce his carbon-emissions footprint to nearly zero? As the government defends its controversial new green plan, we meet a man who's taking matters into his own hands.
Words from editor Jonathon Psycho: I haven't had a drivers license for over two years now. I have lost almost 100 lbs, I'm healthier, I ride a bike or take the bus, or rent a cab or a limo for special events. Either way you slice it I have more money to live because I don't have to pay for automotive insurance, maintenance, gas which seems to keep the automotive owner on the edge of their seats with the roller coaster ride of prices, not to mention a finance or lease payment every month.
Every year most people find it very difficult to contribute to their own RRSP, yet they have no problem spending handfuls of cash on their need to remain lazy to the convenience of a vehicle. Consumers do not realize that the automotive industry is a big machine that keeps pumping out vehicles of all shapes and sizes for every persons possible need, just to sell more products.
These products are contributing to the problems that we all face on a daily basis. Just look at what everyone is saying: http://www.willyoujoinus.com/?source=paidsearch
Realize that in this day and age with the government forcing us to be double income families, the need to save for our future doesn't just mean saving with your RRSP but saving our natural resources or at least using them in a way that promotes healthier lifestyles.

(Holly Woods - Toronto): I remember working with Barney on ASSAULT & FLATTERY. We were having a spaghetti supper on his boat talking about my career as a solo artist. We'd just finished writing one of the tracks. He co-wrote, produced, played guitar - did practically everything on alot of that record. He sat in the control room while Darby and I sang "Cats & Dogs" and we just laughed the whole time. He was definitely one of a kind.

He sat in the control room while Darby and I sang "Cats & Dogs" and we just laughed the whole time. He was definitely one of a kind.
It was one of the worst days of my life, like the day the music died. I went to Brians funeral on Thursday April the 30th of 1992, at the Redeemer Lutheran Church. It was a hot afternoon and Bill Henderson played "Four Men" on his guitar and sang on the stage beside Brians coufin and beside that was a large photo of Brian Too Loud Maclead.
There were a lot of people there that day and as the bag pipes played following Brian to the Hertz that awaited outside, people followed.
The Interment was conducted at the Ocean View Burial Park, overlooking the Pacific Ocean. He was placed beside a beautiful tree.
I periodically would visit Brian and as I sat there in the peace of god I could hear the children play at a close nearby school. Every time I would visit Brian I would notice that his flower pot was empty and no flowers had been placed, so I would place some and think about the fun days when Brian was here with all of us, sharing his talent to bring us all closer together. I miss that the most.

There is a lesson here somewhere I am sure.
I see kids delaying their responsibillities and hiding from their chores, I see a lot of people delaying their dreams because they have to stay on the roller coaster ride that only allows them so much time to do the things they really love.
Brian went for what he wanted and the only thing that stopped him was Cancer, actually it was pneumonia that got him in the end, but nevertheless he was a fighter and we went for it all the way. Never put off today what you could have done yesterday and you will find yourself further then every before.
With enormous amounts of love and respect to all who knew Brian, BARNEY, Too Loud, Macleod, his family, friends & fans.
You will never be forgotten Brian, we love you and miss you, the world is truely at a loss without your touch of magic.

Parents Just Don't Understand!!!
Kids are always saying that adults don't understand, or that parents just don't understand!
Funny thing is Parents & Adults alike are all feeling somewhat the same way about the kids these days too. "What is wrong with that child?"
Simply put there is no reasoning with children as their brains are not developed enough to handle simple math yet, let alone any complexities we adults deal with on a daily basis.
Firstly children have a lot of time on their hands, or they used too, before video games & the internet started to become a life force to be reckoned with. Nevertheless children have more time in a day to daydream or stall their responsibillities then your average adult. There are far too many distractions these days then when I was a child. My god I can only imagine how hard it would be for me to study or do homework with all these bells and whistles going off (MSN, Cell Phones, Blackberrys, blueberry's, video chats and game sites, chat rooms, blah blah blah) the list goes on and on.
I can remember my folks telling me to turn on the radio or the television so I could concentrate better, I would think, OMG, your kidding me I can study with music on or the TV!
Today Children are doing their homework on their computers with printers and built in calculators with MSN running with four hundred people talking back and forth playing ring tones and sending mini's back and forth with files of music or video's or whatever, blah blah blah, once again the list goes on and on.
All I am trying to get at is that there is a lot of distractions kids face these days as a result of finding means to keep our children busy so that we can continue being double income families.
sounds like I just took one for the kids but facts are facts.
If we want to start cleaning up the mess that WE MADE, we first have to start realizing that it is OUR MESS. Then we need to start developing better communication skills with our children.
Would it actually hurt to sit down and create some type of schedule that involves everyone's wants and needs, hey! what a concept. Of course taking priorities into consideration.
Kids need to be taught to understand certain family values that have been passed down from generation to generation. What happend to the last two generations of our social civilization? Would it be the wars we've endured? The coming of Equal Rights? What was it? How have we evolved to the point we are at now and what can we learn from that study? How can we correct our path for the sake of humanity and our future as a planet?
With proper time management you can accomplish anything... ANYTHING!!! yes you heard me right. Time is money, you've heard that before I'm sure of that. Well there is nothing better than time. IF you were a rich dying person you would buy more time if you could, but you can not. That is why time is NOT money, it is far more precise then money.
Children have lots of this commodity, this untangable entity we all strive to have more of called time. The older we get the less time we seem to have to enjoy any of the things we work so hard for. What kind of initiative is that for our children to look at and see? While we continue to be double income families, thinking that we have it covered by throwing all those gagets at our kids to keep them busy, meanwhile they see you running around like a chicken with it's head cut off thinking hey man I'm staying right here in yougsville where there is NO responsibillities.
Last but not least, children, teenagers and the like, need to understand what it means to RESPECT YOUR ELDERS!!! it means to understand that they have already dealt with handfuls of idiots in their life time, worked many hard hours and had things taken from them and they've already been deprived of things when they were kids from they're own parents.
Bending rules every once in awhile is for those who deserve the rules bent. If your parent does not bend rules for you then maybe it's because your not meeting your parents half way in the first place, smarten up and start pulling your own weight. Nothing is free in this world. I used to be one of those kids that would yell out " I didn't ask to be born" Well I think that I found the answer to that stupidity or comment that a lot of kids seem to say now or think that they didn't ask to be born and that the world owes them something on a silver platter.
You may not have been asked to be born, just as your parents didn't prey to god to have a lazy child that didn't want to amount to anything either!!! They did their part by giving you a shot at an opportunity of a lifetime!!! literally. The rest is up to YOU!!!
You have 18 years from birth to take advantage of the free education, room and board, food, clothing, dental, medical, PLUS daily lessons in love, happiness, anger, pain & loss through the nurturing knowledge of a parental form. After 18 everyone expects you to have your shit together, and they won't bother to hold your hand after that, plus if you need more education it's not free anymore that's gonna cost ya too!!! So if you want to sit around and play all the way up to 18 and beyond then don't expect everyone to still be there handing out care packages and holding your hand.
My father told me when I was a kid, when you go to bed at night, ask yourself two things.
1) Ask yourself what you did today that made you a step closer to your goals?
2) Ask yourself what you can do tomorrow that will help you get closer to your goals?
Never prepare FOR a worst case scenerio, ALWAYS prepare FROM the worst case scenerio, work from the inside out, not from the outside in. Keep it simple.
Time Management, Proper schedules, Communication skills, family meetings, any other idea's folks, I am open for comments on this one, as you can see there is so much to discuss.

Seung-Hui Cho, 23-Years Old - Virginia TECH Shootings
This is a perfect example of what I am talking about!
People are so quick to say why? WHY does GOD allow bad things to happen.
HE DOES NOT, WE DO, our society DOES, we are all too busy with OURSELVES, and our selfishness chasing that pot of gold at the end of that rainbow somewhere.
I'm serious people we really need to re-look & re-think our social ethics and our social make up within our own family values and what really matters. Can we really afford to leave OUR children ALONE in the hands of computers, the internet, video games and the entertainment industry via movies & music? Just what are we exposing to our children as acceptable in our society.
Seung Hui Cho is a good example of a person that probably needed a lot more profesional treatment then he got, or should have recieved, so is he to blame? is god to blame? NO! We are, his family is to some extent, I realize they are suffering enough at this time, but for the sake of arguement I think they too would agree, it's not the lack of love to want to do it, but sometimes it's the time and or money to do it.
Thus the government forcing us to be double income families to support all of our endevours that we have been brainwashed through the masses of media saying what job is popular or what job pays the best, go figure? What jobs are these, are they making the rules as they go along to fit the needs, forcing us to work certain jobs, male and female alike as far as the so called equality women fought for years ago, NOW where are we?
Someone has to stand up and start saying something about this. It's not just GUN LAWS or DRUGS, it's TIME and what can we afford to spend TIMEWISE. What the government allows us to have timewise with OUR families. What keeps us apart? what draws a family apart?
Every man or women for themselves is pretty much the times we live in along with the disposable mantality of easily replacing whatever you need from jobs to relationships to everything down to a bic razor.
We spend far too much time chasing materialism than we do chasing spiritual knowledge and hightening ourselves to a better level of conscience. Become more aware of the economic & social dimise we are following.
It's moments like these that make me feel ashamed to be human.
Would love to hear some input on this.

Why Can't We All Get Along?
Why can't we all just get along?
We all breathe the same air and need clean air to breathe.
We all have the same organs.
We all have the same color blood.
We all have the same emotions.
We also ALL have the same basic needs.
Wow, We all ALSO live on the same planet.
What separates US from keeping it all together as a planet?
MONEY?
GREED?
SELFISHNESS?
Open for comments on this one, please feel free to honestly say your peice on this!!!

The Evolving World We Live In
In every environment there cannot exist one species without the other, from insects (with the exception of A sexual) to animals to humans, from air, sea to land, you will see both species in each environment.
In each environment there are certain laws that exist through the laws of nature, such as: only the strong survive. etc.
Having said that, there are obviously rules; some rules have been recorded in biblical times to be written in stone, such as the Ten Commandments. Man has made some laws over the centuries passed down through time. These laws have been made to protect us all from evil.
We are all here for a short time only, it would first seem like a lot at first but as you get older you realize that it goes really fast. So it doesn’t make sense to become possessive of anything materialistic because you can’t take it with you. You can only leave it behind like some type of legacy. Makes sense to have a strong estate planned. What is an Estate?
An Estate is all of your worldly possessions in one big pile, tangibles & non-tangibles added up in total worth, less your liabilities, that then becomes your total net worth. This is to be left behind in the trust of someone that you trust, like a beneficiary.
If while your living and creating your fortune or fame and your hording away all of your worldly possessions, where do you think they’re all going to end up when your gone? If your greedy and not the sharing type then think about the end of your time, who is going to get your stuff then? Wouldn’t it make sense to have someone you can trust?
Sure you can hire a lawyer or elect someone to become your executor. But when it comes right down to your blood, your tears, sweat and pain from all those years of hard work, to know that you did it all for a reason.
Back to the species of male and female
Lets look at animals for a moment, because for only ten thousand years or so, man has been evolving to present sophistication. Billions of years before man, there evolved a lot of species, both male and female. A species cannot avoid extinction without procreation with the opposite sex without this there own species would become extinct. (excluding A sexual species)
The laws of nature
Man? A funny contradicting species, always looking for approval no matter what form it takes, either from idiot friends, parents or spouses, one way or another man is persistent on achieving goals or solving problems.
Woman? A constant work of art always in motion, with all senses at 100 and capable of more, confused in this world to take the ring or share some passion with the other species that seems to have lost their game book of rules or the program booklet to explain what’s going on.
I guess what I am saying is that for a long long long long time things were going a certain way and now for only 50 or 60 years, were going to let our whole society collapse around us because were going to let the dollar bill run our lives as a human race.
What does our future bring us?
Lazy fat kids, that know how to push buttons and click mouse’s and order fast food or play video games. Have you had a look out there, do you see what we have let happen.
Were all guilty of it, we all got caught up in the OH I have to have that syndrome. Hey women, don’t let the man hold you down, you can be your own boss you can hold your own business you don’t need man.
Guess what, hook line and sinker you all fell for it and for some time now the only one’s reaping the rewards from this is the GOVERNMENT, hey double income families? Who would have thought, yes you can have equal rights, you can vote, like that’s going to change the verdict anyways, yeah you can get paid the same as a man no problem, just means twice the tax we get each year HA HA HA.
So in the meanwhile we have to deal with all these little problems that will stop those parents from deciding to both work, oh wait I know we’ll allow all inventors to submit ideas for toys to keep kids really busy, addictive games, internet, buttons easy stuff you know, then the kids will be really busy playing games, mommy and daddy can both work and come home to a bunch of fat stumps sitting in front of screens pushing buttons. Yeah that should do it.
And many years later we are still all doing it, working for it but not having any time to enjoy it and all we're doing is building and investing in a dysfunctional society for the future.
All were doing is teaching the future to be more focused on the convenience of a disposable society, in relationships, in jobs, in everything.
