Who is responsible?Have you noticed that society is becoming more infantile though technology seems to be growing at an unprecedented rate. Well the answer seems to be laziness, lack of will power, and thereof. I mean let’s take a look at some examples of evidence to procure my argument.
12 twelve step programs: these are programs that simply focus on the weaker of society, and tell the participants that they are powerless and that this awful disease is just too powerful for them to control. They say that the only way that you can even hope to overcome your addiction is to first come out of denial and admit that you have a problem. Then submit and tell yourself that you are powerless against this disease.
Now, while it is true that in order to overcome any problem in life one must first admit to themselves that a problem exist. We all know that we, as human beings, are in direct control over our lives. We also know that we are not powerless, but instead, we are very powerful. After all aren't it that very fact that differentiates us from all the other creatures that inhabit the earth.
What I have noticed during my 44 years on this planet, is that there has been a monumental intelligence shift throughout humanity, mainly here in the United States. I have noticed that people are very irresponsible, and that they do not want to take any responsibility for there actions.
Everyone is acting very surprised to see the economy downspiral the way it is, when all they had to do is be honest with themselves years ago. Examples: ask yourself do you own your car, or are you making payments. when you go food shoping are you paying for your food, or are you swiping a credit card of some sort. When you shop at the mall, are you paying cash or again, swiping a credit. When you got married did you pay up front for the wedding or did you take out a loan. This list can go on and on, but the harsh reality is that you, yourself want to live in a dream world where there are minimum sacifices made by you, yourself.
What happened to the world where your true status was exemplified by the income that you earned. Back in the sixties and seventies there might have been one or two brand new cars in an entire neighborhood, and everyone enjoyed the comforts of a used car with the old occassional breakdown in the middle of the road. While this may seem like everyone must have been very inconvienced during that time period, guest what, that is where your mechanics, electricians, and a whole host of other professionals came from. In other words productive citizens were created from knowhow. The mother of the household knew how to put together scraps that now today the public pays for. She had to learn this because there were virtually no fast food restaurants, and they had to survive on true income, not one that was dreamt up through a piece of plastic. Everyone in the household contributed, and that is what gave each and every family member a sense of pride. Now, what do you have? You have a bunch of lazy people who basically want everything, but are willing to give nothing. Hey! don’t sweat it, when too many debtors start calling me I’ll just file bankruptcy to get them off my back, then they’ll start giving me credit all over again just for the sake of boosting their quarterly earnings, let alone the fact that I am a terrible credit risk. The debtor will simply file an insurance claim with the government as lost income. Then the government will pay the debtors back with what they will call disposable income, which is really your tax dollars.
Here’s an example of how you can tell lazy folk anything and they’ll go for it because as long as their own greed is being fulfilled they simply do not care. Can you believe this guy became the president even once!
Let's not forget the fact that during the bush administration we suffered the highest gas surge shortly berfore he began campaigning for his second term, then as his campaign actually began campaigning, the prices of gas dropped dramatically. Right after he aquired the questionable second term presidency, the gas prices fell. Coincidentally, Exxon made record profits during the rise. This is what I mean by a dummied down society. "Common sense" says that if you pay a given price for any product, and you sell that product for double so that you can make a profit, that's business. If you pay a given price for any given product, in order for you to make record profits one or two things has to occur. Either your selling that product for three or four times its maket value, or there is an overwhelming amount of consumers purchasing lots and lots of that product.
For those of you that have issues with words, here is the MATH:
I buy product for 1.00 Exxon buys product for 1.00
I sell product for 2.00 Exxon sells product for 4.00
profit made 1.00 record profits made 3.00
Now, convert these values into trillions of dollars, and remember Bush, Cheney, and a host of others in the bush cabinet has oil businesses.
Ask yourselves another question how come when Bush's term was coming to an end, what new world event happened that caused gas prices to go DOWN and STAY DOWN.
post comments folks. lets show that we're not dummied down.
