Is it just me or has anyone else noticed that most go too far one way or the other? Strange ain't it. When I was young we were constantly being told things like "Too much of a good thing ain't good no more", or "Don't throw away the baby with the bathwater", "Pigs get fat, hogs get slaughtered". We used terms like "Common Sense", "Horse Sense", "Level headed", and were told to watch with a "discerning eye". Terms like "Haste makes waste", "If it ain't broke don't fix it". We watched out for "gluttony", "excessive", "lop sided ". I remember teachers saying stuff like that. As I look around I often wonder where are the majority of the people like that, and I myself have to relearn from time to time.
On the web just about anyone can be a philosopher these days and almost any crazy stuff can be sold, and it ain't just the web either. I've pretty much gotten to the point I hate TV news, other than local and I wonder about a lot of that. The news channels, oh give me a break, talk about piling it high. Somehow though we seem to have gotten dumber, but what makes us that way? Lack of truth and rational reasoning. We watched the Lorax movie and Dr Seuss these days is considered by some part of the NWO, while others say it is leftist attempts to foil free trade, and yet others say it is occult because the Lorax likes trees. It is a kid's book. It shows a reverence for nature and trees, not a worship. It teaches control of desires and the use of limited resources. It never addresses the lack of free trade but does address responsible use and free domain of certain things, like air. Mostly it is a child's story though that says be responsible, act responsible, and control your greed. This story could be told anywhere and using any analogy, myth, fairy tale, fable, topic... well, you get the point.
I read where in some places where they argue over the Sabbath. Saturday, Sunday, or ever other Wednesday. Nobody bothers to state that if you worship or give praise or thanks one day out of seven that it's probably not going to work too well for you. Then I hear the name of God argued over. A cross or a stake? Jesus, Yeshu, Yeshua, and on and on and on. Some sell a get out of Hell free card while others sell the gotta do this long list of things mentioned throughout the Bible thing. It often sounds like people are lost in the forest instead of backing up and seeing the beauty of the trees.
I see grown people watching MTV and flaking out or totally amazed. Grown people playing games and collecting actual toys rather than getting out there and doing something. Whats better than an Author that has absolutely no practical knowledge of what they're writing about? The person who reads it and is suddenly a master at something without actually doing it. Though reading does at least exercise the mind. Unfortunately for some, it over exerts it as well. True story. We had a lady that told us how to plant a certain plant and how to harvest it, even preserve it. About a year later we ran into her and one of her older kids looking at Peach Trees, they were short and wanted a short tree. All the trees were Alberta Peach Trees! The sorter ones were younger and the older ones were taller. Did we explain? No. So I asked what all they had planted since her advice the previous year was expansive. Nothing, they were still reading on what and how to grow it. Guess what. I can write a book about how to grow what here, and if the climate and ground are different where you are it is all null and void for the most part.
It has become so that we watch people doing sports and say "we did it"!!! No, they did it, you watched. They built or created something on TV, you watched. That by no way means you or I can. I use to love to watch some of the shows where they say they will teach you to build something hard. You might be able to if you had an endless supply of money for tools and material, and all the time and trails to get it done. You actually can hear stars from time to time people saying they don't watch TV or movies. Why, because they are busy doing it. They have a life. Some of these "designer shows", we got laughed at making stuff like that when we were young. I loved the show once that showed planting a small tree beside the house. That same house or one that copied it a few years later, repairing the foundation from root damage caused by a tree that was planted too close.
We have went from a nation and world who had dreams to creating nightmares, or having insomnia as a second choice. Come election time people get stupid (er). I've seen all parties claim Jesus and some reject Him. To me one is as bad as the other. Some idolize Regan, who continued Carter's screw ups, only succeeded by a pair of Bushes and a Clinton in between, and now Obama. Don't believe me, add "policies sucked" in a search and pick one. Who owns your opinion? For most of the world it isn't the individual.
I just watched a promo of a new product that looked like the robot in RoboCop. It's cool but is it needed? JFK warned of the Military Industrial Complex, but he missed the Pharmaceutical rise to power with them. Meanwhile people suffer, and I think with the advent of the Agribusiness. Now the funny thing I find is the person who says they promote tax breaks to the top tier, when they ain't in that tier. They promote freed trade, yet their business is slowly going under with competition from big box stores and web sales. Just once I'd like to see people say Hell No, not until you listen before buying or voting.
So lets try a practice. Demand that products be made here. If foreign countries can move here, hire American Workers, and be profitable, then so can American companies. Demand quality built. Demand that you know what is in your food and if has been genetically altered in any way... in Layman's terms! Demand that workers get paid wages they can live on, while cutting by the wages at the top. Demand that your produce be from local sources. If not, the vote with your dollar, don't buy it. Don't vote in the election for president unless they tell you your vote, and not the electoral vote, counts. Decide this day that you will have your voice heard. Stop rushing about like the waters on the ocean, being blow from here to there. Make this and ever day until your last count. Look before you leap onto a cause or support for something. Yoiu should be making decisions, if your old like me, that will make your kids and grandkids pleased.
So I guess the main theme of the rant is moderation rather than excess.
