Problem?
Picture yourself young and playful, praticing karate or playing with a basketball in the house, maybe even tracking in mud on the clean white carpet. So you break a vase, it's one of your mom's favorite, a priceless hierloom. You try your best to hide it but she still finds out, so what's the first thing she says? WHO broke my vase? Not what happened, not if anyone was hurt, not can someone get me a dustpan, oh no, she wants to know who broke her vase. That's where it sets in.
This September will mark three years since the terroist bombings of the World Trade Center. What's on the front page of the newspaper today in South Florida? "Panel can't link Iraq, Al-Qaeda" Three years down the road we are still trying to figure out who we should blame. There are terroist living in the United States, and the media is focused in on political bullshit trying to ruin Bush's campain. They went through grueling hours of listning to recordings of people trying to sort out the hijacking. Stations replayed countless phonecalls of confusion and begin to blame the lack of organization and a whole bunch of other ill fated attemps to gain control/confidence in decision making. People make mistakes. No one fucking cares about the problem, just give them someone to blame.
Countless examples exist but I really don't think it's worth my time to spell it out. The only book by Michael Crichton I ever enjoyed was Rising Sun. It underlines the difference between Japanese/American cultures and economics. In short hand, Americans look for the easy way out while the Japanese put in for the long haul. Americans are non-dedicated, have shit for work ethics, and could pretty much care less what happens to their country.
No? Ask yourself why any honda accord or toyota camry will beat the shit out of any ford or chevy made car. Ask yourself why only one American television company remains while sony, hitatchi, and sumsung control the buisness. Americans see 'made in china' and bitch that they are having jobs taken away, but if the product was made in America they would bitch about the high cost due to minimum wage laws. America is depleting it's natural resources, chasing out independent farmers, scamming blue collars with insider trading, finding new ways to rob hard working people and in any way possible trying to find a way to make a quick buck. But that's not the point.
People are dieing because they are handed a product that will kill you slowly. It's marketed as cool hip and fresh, and I don't care what you say, peer pressure is fucking hard work. Whether it's tobacco or alcohol or processed meat, you are marketed to the day you are born. Out of ten first graders 1 new who George Washington was, 2 knew who George Bush is, and none could recognize a picture of Jesus Christ. All ten of them could tell you who Ronald Mcdonald is.
So there is a problem, people are fat, people are smoking, people are driving drunk. They are there on the table with daily reminders. Yet here we are, trying to figure out who to blame, whether it's the tobacco company, McDonalds, or your own personal lame ass atempt to make decisions for yourself. Nicotene has a 90% addiction rate, meaning that 9 out of 10 people are going to try one cigarette and have a NEED to continuously buy them to relieve the craving. Mom comes home from work and the kids are screming hungry. 2 hours of cartoons riddled with fast food advertisments...not the food, the toys have been screaming at the children. Fast food is cheap, easy, and quick. It's bad for you and everyone is aware of this, but is to damn lazy to find an alternative.
I don't care if it's the companys fault or your own, there is a problem and regardless it should be fixed. Stop trying to figure out whos wrong or right. The people that have the power to fix it won't, why mess with billions of dollars? Why should you save someone that fell into the well? I mean fuck, it was their fault they slipped....let em' die.
