it seems so illogical
how can it be?.... they put braile on baby changing stations (could be messy to say the least), and drive-through ATMs. we park in driveways and drive in parkways. there are so many people in this world, yet the majority feels alone and abandoned. we have a constitution and a declaration of independence establishing our rights, yet we are not free from our own governments, set to protect us. a government of the people for the people and by the people, but hundreds of laws are passed every day without our knowledge by a select few. a person can blame God for the misery in thier life, yet say they do not believe in a god. ignorance of the law is considered no excuse, yet they do not teach us the laws. in fact, to learn the laws, one must be accepted into law school. we have an internet, available to virtually all of us, and still we have politicians make our choice of president. in the last how many years have we had a president elected from a write-in ballot? Ross Perot, (an oil tycoon), can run for president, on the promise to not even take pay, let alone allow lobbyists to bother him without success. yet two George Bushes, ( not commonly known, father and son oil tycoons,) can be ellected president. the internet is considered a tool, but is more commonly used for entertainment, harrasment, invasion of privacy, and destruction. we have freedom of the press, but the truth is only printed in underground newspapers and magazines and back pages in fine print. we have the right to free speech, yet can be thrown in jail for what we say. we can even be thrown in jail for victimless crimes. there are almost as many laws in this country as there are people. we are taught proper reading and writting in elementary, then taught shorthand in highschool. in schools they tell us that Columbus "discovered America", what of the nomads, vikings, eskimos, and Amerigo Vespucci ( not sure of the spelling)? we are supposed to have separation of church and state, can't pray in school, yet can get credits for attending a mormon church for one hour a day in high school. our government spends hundreds of billions of dollars on wars, and rebuilding the countries they destroy, while we have millions of people living below poverty level. we are offered Social Security that is not considered secure. we pay income tax, then sales tax, inheritance tax, road tax, sin tax, (that is correct, SIN tax), fuel tax, state tax, county tax, and even city taxes ( talk about taxation without representation!!!). the rich can keep getting richer, while the poor keep getting suppressed. if the 2000 richest people in the world, along with our governments, surrendered 60% of thier monies to the public, the middle and lower class people could join the upper class on vacations and owning thier own homes and cars, as well as eliminate all debts from the lower through upper classes , (life liberty and the pursuit of happiness). we go to war over oil, when all of our cars could run on our own waste. our governments start wars over pipelines, then claim we are at war with terrorists, (I have lots of info on this subject). how the hell can this be? it just seems so illogical to me!!! are we blind, or just docile, like cattle? well, you tell me. better yet tell a freind!!! oh yeah, let us not forget, we speak english in america, Hmmm!!!

i think there is something that can be done about it, before it is too late, but so many are shallow, or scared

Man, that was AWESOME! I stand up and applaud you. It's like you;ve been listening to my conversations lately with my husband. All we talk about it seems is how f'd up the world is and how it's only spiraling downhill. Nothing makes sense. That rant you laid out was filled with so much illogical BS it could kill Spock. And every bit of it true. How can we sit back and call ourselves the Greatest Nation on Earth with a clear conscience? I just hope more people figure out the truth before it's too late. You should be proud of yourself for not buying into the lies that surround you. Kudos.

Wow that is some statement.

THE HUMAN RACE is really lazy. They want someone just to take care of them........there is no reason to look for logic when you have so many cooks in the kitchen.....Why dont you take one subject matter and then go from there instead of putting everything you ever wished to discuss into this paragraph or whatever it is.

Hablas Ingles? Oh, I'm so very glad for you. Yes, it seems illogical if you start with a faulty premise but is logical if you have the correct premise.

Just repeat this over and over to yourself "We evolved from apes and it shows!"

i agree with you, but like you said there is nothing we can do about it. and i am afraid it's only going to get worse in the future. You seem to know quite a bit about your goings on now

Amazing! The question leaves me speechless. And very true. But I guess that's what life is about. ..
