Here I go ranting about things I cannot change. The only resistence I have is to not participate in the Walmart generation.
I've never been very political but after I found out they don't have a Union, I knew I'd never end up inside one. I still question what good the industrial revolution really does this planet and all of its creatures. People fought so hard for workers rights but now there's just as many willing to slowly go back to the way things were.
My road dog toasted the effort and I'm trying to utulize it... But we're still overpopulated with the wrong genetics.
It really is soooo true that we're all hypocrits. Because I know I'd like to ride a bike 10, 15 miles to work every day just as much as my man would like to hand make his own tent. I know I will end up with a car, and not an environment-safe one either.
Convience. Everything is about convience. You can get people to buy things they don't even need if it seems convient enough. If you sell 6 of em for 50 cents and it looks like it took more than 50 cents in plastic to make them all, you don't have to be a con artist. Everyone loves a bargain.
No one likes looking for what's free. Many say nothing IS for free. And even the people who don't like money secretly wish they had it for the sake of convience.
Look in the walmart parking lot. How many people are standing besides cars, sitting in them? Just waiting for the others to come back so they can leave. How many are resisting? Look on the streets how many are riding bikes? How many bikes do you see during rush hour? How many are resisting?
Every one believes in what they won't fight for. I guess it's easier to believe it than live it even though more die working than fighting.
Who made your sewing machine girl? THEY did, didn't they? You don't know enough chemistry yet to make plastic or seperate metal. You don't know enough about electronics or engineering to put the parts together. It'll take you forever to learn how to spin your own thread without looking up instructions on the internet. Where do YOU think you're gonne generate the power to run it? And WHO THE FUCK DO YOU THINK MAKES THE FOOD YOU EAT OUTTA THE DUMPSTER BITCH?!?!???
We FUCKED UP when we created laymans terms.
We can't change it, we can only improve it if we try. We can only improve the way we live. Go ask the hippies in the woods how many have had surgery. Have benefited from 'babylon'.
We're all full of shit. (But you don't need a lighter to light a cigarette!)
But that's only in the day. If you can't start a fire out of a stick and a piece of flint than it'd be much more convienant to just buy a lighter from the store.
Besides I doubt you remember how to make a magnifying glass any more.
Don't take my suggestion,I'm just as full of shit as the rest of us.
Every man or woman to their own. I say every one should be their own god because that's how I learned independence. And if we can't have freedom and rather not die for it than that's what's left. And without it we are sheep.
One thing I do know is that I want to continue learning. I want to know things and rely on myself as much as possible. I don't want to have to read things written for the layman.
