You're right. What we should do is succeed at the very same thing that humans have failed at until we are extinct from all our best efforts failing us finally, because we wait until the next family does it first, because why should we sacrifice our comfort for the sake of the next generations, because we'll be dead any way, and if it means fighting for what is right, that's a thing of the past, because our government isn't really an evil superpower, and I know if I think about happy things hard enough, all the ugly monsters will just go away.
Well, you would be in the 80 percentile that don't stand up and fight. That's fairly obvious.
I would gladly die fighting for a cause that would reset the fundementals that our founding fathers were wise enough to lay out for us in black and white, so that this nation would be free from tyranny. For the next generation, I would do this, not just for my own child either. Something to ask yourself, when you sit down and think of the worst case scenario for this nation, given the history of us failing at every man made system that we have ever had.
Your mindset is one that propels this nation into oblivion. You want to keep your job and your house, yetthe American dream is on the rocks, my friend. Many folks see me as extreme to a fault, but when there are people killing each other for food when the trucks quit trucking down the interstates, I will be just fine. So will my kid. Because I have the ability to see the gleaming truth about humans, and history.
Oh, and none of this global situation is complex at all. It's about man's greed, and a bunch of good old boys doing what was good for them instead of for our nation. What is so complicated about that? I think you think that the solution is complicated, but that isn't either. Things are way too far gone to turn around by making sure our kids aren't deadbeats. Things are not going to get better. Not in 20 years, not in 50 years. We are headed straight for the next world conflict, and if you don't see that, and believe it, you will probably never worry about things the way people like me do, so you are better off. Ignorant as hell, but much better off while you exist here on this planet.
Why do you think the real reason is, that people fight nowadays?
Why did people fight a couple generations ago when things were as bad as they could be?
Third and final question: Do you think it's quite possible that we Americans flourished like we did because folks with pitchforks got tired of being oppressed and controlled by corrupt men with money and power?
Right, average folks stood up and fought for what was right. No stupid puppet president will ever change what is happening and has been in the works for how many years now?! It starts with you. What are you personally going to do when nothing gets better?
Where does the axe fall first? Social services, schools, public emergency services, hospitals. I doubt it....the current agenda in America is to borrow our way out of debt. Oxymoron if ever one existed. Tighten the belt or die...that is what we have going on and your typical American is way too plush (or just STUPID) to do that.
