Just a Thought

         You know I have a lot to say, so I will start with this. I have noticed that people have become very complacent. I hear the phrase just show love, understanding, and everything will be just fine. I agree with all of them, but I do not walk around calling a duck a sheep and a sheep a duck. It is either one or the other it cannot be both. It scares the hell out of me at how uninformed people in this country have become.I hear if it sounds bad on the news we just tell ourselves in some way it is not. If you see a story about anything on the news or in paper or just on the net just stop for a second and ask yourself one question. Did I look into this to make sure this is true or not true. Take the annotative to just look it up before commenting. This country was founded on the search for something better, it was founded by people that said "well if the end of the world is over the horizon I guess we will find out". At one point in our history people thought the world was flat. But by our very nature we explored it, to find out that was wrong. What happen to that spirit? We need to somehow get this part of our selves back to what our instincts have been, in all of us. Just think, when you were a child you would explore your surroundings look for odd things ask strange questions. Now look at yourself. Now do you do any of these things. Or did you accept the every answer you hear and become a sheep among wolves. Just take time out to research your surroundings and what is going on in the world, and I promise you it will look somewhat different when you put some time into asking simple questions.


     I know this sounds like a rant but it is a plea for us in America to stop looking in one direction. Check out the world around you. "someday I fear our Technology will surpass our humanity" Albert Einstein. Well Albert was right. Next time you go out for a drive just look around you, people on the phone texting while driving. texting someone who is standing right next to you. Just Say-in.
