Random thoughts for the suffocating mind

Feb 08, 2006 20:26

I think that what makes me the most frustrated, is how the masses hold all of the power, yet they give it all away. I can't afford to live on my own in California. I can if I want a one-bedroom apartment eating mac & cheese everyday, but I can't reasonably, comfortably live here. Why? Because some people are willing to squeeze ten people into a three-bedroom-home, so they can afford to live here. Why? Why are people so dumb? We have the power to change this. All we need to do is say "Hey! Thats too god-damn expensive! I'm moving to Arizona!" Done. Game over. People: 1 California prices: 0. Suddenly, housing prices start dropping, and homes are affordable. I can now afford a home at a reasonable price! Yay!
But no, we don't think like that. We would rather pile three families into a house, and pretend that we aren't going crazy. I guess I have the same problems as Walter Lee Younger. I just want to provide for my family, yet I don't have the means to. I could Probably learn a lesson from Walden though. I don't really need a house of my own. I know I don't need one in California, I don't even plan on having one. I think that maybe I should go somewhere that I can work and make just a decent amount. The more I think about it, the more I like the ideas behind Communism. I just wish it worked out practically. I think it would work out in small groups, but not the big ones.
But I digress... I wish I could live comfortably, without having to worry about people around me (other than my family) or what would happen if I did this or that. I feel like I am about to explode, and I wish there was something I could do about it.

Help...
