The dumbing and numbing of America. Selling products and quelling dissent. Make it short or make it sexy. Lie and buy. Pundits and Bandits. This is today’s mainstream media. A body count is just another set of numbers. If it doesnt make somebody a buck, it doesnt count.

If we fail….to bring global warming, peak oil, freedom, etc, to a common sense or logical solution, then that’s it. No bright tomorrow.

hey, think positive!

the sun has about another 5 billion years to go, so Mother Earth has enough time to try it again and again and again…

maybe the next missing link to true intelligence will succeed to survive the chimp-phase of warmongering alpha-males and will be intelligent enough to care for the future despite the fact that a member of an intelligent species sometimes might have to “sacrifice” some luxury and might have to accept that decency is NOT stupidity, but just a command of survival for a species based on high intelligent individuals…

decency NOT stupdity? that’s something much too hard to understand for our cultures - cultures much better understandable after having read Konrad Lorenz than when you would dare to consider warmongering, greed and the betrayal of the future as “intelligent behavior”

btw: so much about “intelligent design” - please, believers of the faith of the intelligent designer, first explain me, where you are able see intelligence in 100 wasted lives per month? Do you really believe, that the risks of a 9 month pregnancy with the result of an always “premature” offspring needing intensive care for years (therefore one of the basic foundations of each human culture) makes any, truly any sense just to produce cannon-fodder? Wouldn’t you think that an “intelligent designer” would use “less expensive” production strategies to be killed “just for fun”?

It has been said, and I believe it, that this is the most important generation that has ever existed. If we fail….to bring global warming, peak oil, freedom, etc, to a common sense or logical solution, then that’s it. No bright tomorrow. A life that is progressively worse and not better. The next generation doing much more poorly than the generation before it. America must vote and act like it hasn’t done in ages. America needs a turnout of 80-90% to change the congress in a way which the “powers-that-be” don’t expect. If Americans are engaged in the process, the corporations and special interest groups won’t be able to pull the wool over everyone’s eyes.
Iraq, and the senseless death associated with it is being used to cast fear in the hearts of everyone.
Numbers do become numb, but numbers can save the U.S. elections. If everyone turns out, the numbers can’t be screwed with as much.

Bless,

100 dead this month, so what,
as long as the dead aren’t from the “party of death” big f-ing deal.. A few more deaths one way or another mean that many mouths to feed.
We are going to “stay the course” or what ever the new line of bull shit they are spewing out now!!
