Vested Interest and the corruption that invariably goes with it and wanting to keep the Status Quo!

I am getting very tired of hearing - 'well that's the way we've always done it'' or ''nobody else has complained'' or your the first person to say anything about this'' etc., etc.,

Why is having an original thought such a crime these days?

As far as I've witnessed, Nature doesn't do vested interest - almost everyday I see and/or hear how some animal or other has 'evolved' in someway i.e. - but humanity would rather put up with something that doesn't work very well than risk ridicule for trying something new which has a risk of faiture attached to it - why can't we as a species 'grow out' of this way of thinking and embrace new ideas?

You could turn round and say - you sound like the kind of person who just wants to have something to complain about - to which I would reply - well I'm certainly spoilt for choice if that is the case!

Which culture is more associated with harmony and balance that links human community with nature? I believe it would something like the ancient Japanese religion of Shinto and the Native-American cultures but I want to know if there are any others out there that I can take note of and learn about.

Do they still have to shave?

Why didn't they invent alcohol, and had little use of metal (not that it's a bad thing)

And why is their religion so zen-like and peaceful and one with the Earth, yet it glorified war and bravery, killing so much (before the white man came)?

Ok, I am graduating in May '08, as an Anthropolgy major, minor in Religious Studies. I have no idea where to look for a job in my field, I am not planning on going to graduate school right away, I need to start paying my student loans back ASAP! I have asked my professors but no one has given me a solid answer. My main study of interest include, Egypt, and religion practiced all over the world, both ancient and present. So where or how do I start my career?

im not talking about aiming VERY HIGH, im talking about goals.

we were always told to have a goal, have a dream, and in fact, aim high so when you fail to reach the moon, you at least reach the stars.

but consider the 2 scenarios.

1) a guy aims to "go for jogs once every week, for 1 month", and failed.
2) a guy does not aim at all, and went for a jog, then tell myself "man, you did well!". he ends up being more motivated and confident in himself.

which is better, to dream and aim high, or not to dream and have goals at all?

As an environmental science teacher, how would you respond to someone who tells you (a) that he or she does not believe in biological evolution because it is “just a theory”? How would you respond if another student states, (b) we should not worry about air pollution because through natural selection, the human species will develop lungs that can detoxify pollutants? In your responses, be sure to provide factual evidence from earth’s history
