Learn The ABC's

A,B,C,
You really need,
To think about you and Disney,
For I will never put you on my TV,

Just a little Rosiesque writing.

ABC/Disney is going down the road to failure. I can't think of any way to put all of this elegantly, so here it is:

Same Sex Couples and Fairy Tail Weddings
Here we have the acceptance/collectivist/PC crowds thought process at work. Read the article let it speak for itself.

Rosie's 2 Whole Paragraphs
Read the Rosie O'Donnell blog/rebuttal to her criticizers.

"If the very act of asking is so destabilizing for people, than I have to wonder whether the fabric of our democracy is indeed so raveled it is beyond salvage." -R. O'Donnell

First off republic not democracy. Second "asking"? If I tell you that global warming is fake I am not asking whether it is fake or not (which it is, just as her 9/11 view is) I would be telling you that it is a fake THEORY (as I just did) you can ask questions but if your going to ask them before you provide yourself with an answer.

Click Here for proof that her THEORY is fake.

The position from the left is that we just need to give them a chance to live their way and we can live our way peacefully. Didn't we try that in the 90's after we were attacked time and time again. And it finally took one big blow on 9/11 to make people see that it is not all puffy clouds and hearts down here on earth. Oh but wait she thinks it was fake so that argument does not hold water with her or any of the other nut cases.

I've said it before and I'll say it again. If a terrorist has and AK on each of our backs we would both die. Not just me she would too, and I really don't want that because I think she has some things she needs to work out with her and God before she dies.

She says "You can walk through life believing in the goodness of the world or walk through life afraid of anyone who thinks differently than you and try to convert them to your way of thinking." The world is not good the world is evil and deceptive, the world is bad and I do not want to become one with the world or believe in the world. The world is filled with imperfect people and good and evil exist whether you like it or not. Everyone is not some strange shade of good that we just don't understand correctly, evil exists.

Ahmadinejad wants Israel demolished. Its not that he is evil or anything its just that he sees things from a different perspective so we have to sit back and let it happen. That is what I gather from her statement. I just cannot imagine that this is what she is talking about when she says the "goodness of the world".

Split Up

Each party promises to make changes. Every party promises to do things that are going to make their voters happy. And every party is filled with politicians and they are pretty much liars. Politicians are as apt to stand up for what they said they would about as much as a television network is apt to stand up for a failing show. Yes I did just compare politicians to television executives. And the money that television executives crave is equivalent to the power politicians crave.

Even though it seems like we have predominantly two parties that assertion is false. If you are looking at republicans and democrats as an example of the two predominant parties you will see four parties present. You have conservative republicans and center/left leaning republicans and you have center/conservative democrats and far left democrats. This is the reason why nothing can get done because these parties that are in the actual parties themselves keep butting heads.

This will always cause division in the system that will keep us on the same path we are on now, nowhere! One might think the politicians from the right and the left that hang their hats on the middle of the rack could form an alliance, come together and get something done but it is impossible. They are all to nailed down to their party.

This is not supposed to be taken as a rant on the party system. I am angry at our politicians reluctance to do something. We didn't vote them in so that they could sit and argue all day, we want something out of our vote. For example the democrats are trying to bring the troops home. They know that the president is going to veto anything that they do. So compromise a little or at least try. Because for me (the average citizen) it looks like an argument between a couple of five year olds. If I was a democrat I would be angry because they are fighting a loosing battle because right now Democrats are not thinking about bringing the troops home for their well being nor are they thinking about the well being of the Iraqi people, they are thinking about the oval office. They want to be the knights in shining armor that rescue the troops. If they actually had something pass that would bring them home I am sure that would be their running platform. But its not going to happen the President said he would veto it, and he will. So the democrats are just making it known that they don't agree with the war, but we already know that.

Don't get me wrong, this issue will still be on the ballot. They will still try to sell the American people the lie that they are for the troops. And the republicans will push back with the clear fact that they are keeping us from funding the troops. And still nothing will get done.

This country would be a lot better if only everyone in congress could just forget about their party for five minutes and do something. It needs to be known that everyone that is in congress right now are politicians that care about nothing more than their party and winning the white house in 2008. That is why nothing can get done and they are so divided.

The Wars!

Many wars are being waged right now. The war on terror, the war on drugs, and the war on so on and so forth. If you ask almost anyone if war is good or bad they will say it is bad. War is not a good thing, people die and its horrible. I think that sometimes republicans have a crazy notion in their mind that if they hear another republican talking and he doesn't come off like the guy on that history channel show "Mail Call" they are not a real republican. That way of thinking is not smart. I should stipulate that hating war in general should be universal. I don't think that it is good if anyone likes war, actually that is a sick and twisted thing if you actually like war. But hating this war, hating this president, and hating the administration is not a productive road to head down and it only leads to what we have witnessed since the 2000 election, political divide.

You can disagree with the President and not like his policy, but downright hatred of him is idiotic. Personally I don't like war I hate anything where good men and women have to die. But I do think that we are justified in waging war on Iraq/Saddam and Afghanistan. Saddam broke the laws that he agreed to follow far to many times and Afghanistan was the home to the people that attacked us on 9/11. In Iraq things have gone wrong, I realize that. We had bad intelligence. We haven't utilized everything that we have militarily and we put to many restrictions on our troops. If you sent Rocky Marciano into the ring with one hand tied behind his back he wouldn't have a good fight. But after all of this I still think that our mission is good and of worth to achieve. Why? you ask.

I pulled into a parking lot today and I saw a car that had some bumper stickers that were anti-President Bush and anti republican. I to have some bumper stickers (far less idiotic than this persons) on my car, none the less mine don't share the same point of view. I would love it if the people in Iraq could have this. It brought me joy to see that this person has the right to say what she wants to say.

There is a war of irrational ideas going on in America right now and that war needs to stop. I have no problem with a rational pool of ideas that are thought upon and debated by the people and our government. But irrational thought and spontaneous emotional actions will only lead you into a dead end. It desperately needs to stop in Iraq as well as here at home. Granted the degree that we make our emotional decisions on is not as harsh as the people in Iraq, none the less emotion plays a huge part in what the terrorists in Iraq do and I don't want it to get that far in America. I am not saying that emotion should not be present in the decision making process I am just simply saying that people need to think before they spew their ideas.

Freedom is a great and significant cause in the world and worth fighting for. Just like we did in the Revolutionary War, the Civil War, and in WW2. In all of those wars freedom of some kind was at stake or in jeopardy. And in Iraq freedom was not only at stake it was abolished. Anyone that says that Iraq was better under the rule of the killer and dictator Saddam needs to really re-think their position and fill up their empty head with common sense. Freedom is universal and should be able to be felt by everyone on this earth. Fighting for it is not wrong. Whether we went into Iraq for weapons of mass destruction or not we went in on the basis that someones freedom was in jeopardy.

Everyone needs to know this , most of the time you will not change a persons opinion about any political issue, especially if you are trying to ram it down their throat like so many wacko activists do in this country. Be smart, thoughtful and remember to share a viable opinion with someone rather than fighting with a knife of activism.

Top 10 Puppets

It is time for everyone to cut the strings that bind them to their pride in their ideals and admit when you are wrong or have said something false. If you make the list it is not a good thing. It means that you are a cheerleader for a certain idea rather than an intellectual thought that is clear. I will admit that sometimes I might fall under that category of cheerleader or person for a certain ideal, but the very fact that I have come to terms with this and I can admit that it happens leads me to believe that I am exempt. The people that I am talking about are people that make a living or get unwarranted recognition from their stupidity and/or their ignorance.

10. Drivers

Everyone that drives in this country at one time or another will make a mistake whether they know it or not. The funny thing about people that drive is that they are some how attached to the idea that everything that they do good or bad is justifiable, but if someone does it to them they are the worst driver in the world. I fall under this category sometimes. How many times have you heard people say “nobody knows how to drive”. So in this case people are puppets to some strange thought process that they are the best drivers, when the truth is they are not.

9. Talk Radio Hosts

Talk radio is a great thing and it is a good place for the right to counter punch the left leaning media. But there is a problem in talk radio that needs to be explored. It is important that this is mentioned. Talk radio is entertainment, in other words it is news related items that entertain a certain position on any one subject, it is in no way shape or form journalism, it is one huge editorial. The problem starts when you get to people that tied down to their political party. Most of the time these people cater to republican ideals only. So in other words if a republican said that jumping off a bridge was the right thing to do they would support that opinion. I think that that is a very bad and dangerous road to go down, because you are only digging yourself a hole that you will eventually fall in. It is crucial to point out that there are Democrats (notice I am not using the term left or liberal because this specially refers to people agreeing with a party’s side) that do this too but there are more republicans.

8. The Music Industry

This industry is one that consists of many left leaning people even communists at some points in history. The sad thing is coming from a person like me who loves music from all people, the left puts out some of the best music. CCR, Springsteen, Young and many more. I am hesitant to put Bob Dylan in that list (see next item). The music industry like the news industry caters to the far left for a reason that is unknown. Probably because music is artistic and a lot of artistic thinkers tend to sway left but that is slightly erroneous and a blanket answer that generalizes to much. In the case of the music industry the artists are puppets to their own ideology that in a lot of cases most people do not want to hear anyway. Given the exact perfect timing and the exact perfect wording sometimes it may work, but not very often. For the very reason that I am against my blanket statement, it is the same reason that I am against what comes out of musicians, which is usually one-dimensional thoughts about war and peace that have no artistic value and are nothing more than people trying to force an idea down your throat.

7. Bob Dylan

This is the one time that I was talking about in the last item, he wrote and made his music at the exact perfect time. Bob Dylan is used and abused by so many people that it is ridiculous. In fact I am probably doing it here. There are websites out there that are only about Dylan stuff and for some odd reason they feel the need to post topics on these sites and in articles about artists that come from the left. It is not uncommon to see the Dixie Chicks and Bob Dylan in the same article or website. Just because the Dixie Chicks don’t like the President they are suddenly right up there with Dylan. For anyone that likes him that is Dylan blasphemy. Through out his career people have been trying to push him into corners claiming that he is something that he is not and time and time again he refutes them but they keep on coming like hungry rats. It really makes me sick and that is why I try not to make him out to be anything other than himself. When you go to read articles about the man the writers for some odd reason think they need to place words in some poetic or artistic form like they are trying to emulate his writing. This is sad because people have chained him down and tied the strings on to his arms and legs and he keeps cutting them off but he is not fast enough. He is a huge puppet that people use. They use him to talk about things pertaining to the right and the left. And that it is quite sad. Quoting him and using him as an example for something is fine but when you start grouping him with people that he doesn’t group himself with leave it alone.


6. Americas “World News”

World news in and of itself is a strange dichotomy because in news media there is a target audience and usually that target market is the country that you are broadcasting from, but for some reason it doesn’t work that way in America. For some odd reason in an attempt to get attention or ratings (which has proven itself useless) the news networks in America consistently provide news that denigrates the country. I have said it before and I will say it again, it comes from the Cronkite syndrome, a strange way of trying to appeal to people the same way Cronkite did during the Vietnam War. In this case the news companies are puppets to a strange marketing technique that try’s to appeal to the left and provides shock value, which doesn‘t surprise me because a liberal thought process (liberal is used literally) will almost all of the time give you some added shock value.

5. Movie and Television Industry

The emergence of a strange new movie and television industry that caters to the left, feminization and societal degradation is fairly sad. It constantly denigrates men, the family, decent human values and heroics. It is not even that they are pushing anti-hero’s it is down right dummying down of all of the aforementioned. Saying feminization is not a hit on women either, it is a hit on the writers that make men have no place in a family setting other than occupying a place on a script as a comedic whipping post. There are no more Cliff Huxtable’s, Alan Seaver’s, Rocky Balboa’s or John Wayne’s there are men that are clueless and sometimes even women that have no idea what is going on in their own lives and families. And people wonder why the role model is dead. There are some movies and shows out there that are good like “24” and the new “Rocky Balboa” but overwhelmingly they are not good and nothing new ever comes out of these people. They are puppets to societal pressure.

4. Religious Groups

I am referring to strange groups that claim to be Christian groups when they are nothing of the sort, they are “religious” and they do certain customs that are not lined out in the Bible at all. These are religions that are on the verge of being cults. I need not mention them we all know who they are. What I will do is coming from a Christian perspective I will tell you what they are not. They do not kill people they don’t agree with. They do not believe in any certain dress codes or weird things that you have to DO in order to get to heaven. They will not force you to DO anything and they will not insert their own worldly ideals into their teachings. These people are puppets to ideas that come out of thin air. There is a big difference between religion and faith in God. Religion seeks out to force you to do things to get somewhere, but faith says that (if you have any) doing what needs to be done will come naturally.

3. Educators

Educators are some of the worst people to talk to about governmental affairs. They will always say that education is the only way a person can get anywhere in life and that is totally and unequivocally false. In this day and age college is nothing more than a hot bed for sex and drunkenness and a place where teachers use their classrooms as pulpits instilling people with ideals and that is not conducive to a healthy learning experience. They are puppets to the idea that knowledge is the same as wisdom, and that with education you are unstoppable when that is totally false.

2. Government

The government is something that has to be restricted by its people. The government in America is slowly gaining power that it should not have. For example judges are making decisions for the people and that is not the foundation of freedom that America was based upon. The people know what is best for the people. The only thing the government should be a puppet to is the people, but they are puppets to power.

1. You and Me

We are all puppets to our own thoughts and ideas. I am a puppet to me and you are a puppet to you and that is the irony of it all, no one person can ever come from a totally unbiased position. They will always be dangling their ideas and conclusions in front of your face like a puppet. We are all puppeteers.

Take Your Headphones Out!

Why should people not be able to wear their iPod's. Democratic Senator Carl Kruger wants to stop people from wearing their iPod's while they are crossing the street. I don't understand who Kruger is protecting. The death of a woman who was wearing the headphones was cited in the senators defense. The problem with this is that if a woman or man wants to wear headphones and put their lives at risk than let them do it! The purpose of the government is not to create laws that protect people from themselves. If this is the norm than why not keep people from using matches you might get burned, keep people from walking with scissors you might get cut, and take all knives out of houses you might get stabbed, somebody might get hurt.

"If you're so involved in your electronic device that you can't see or hear a car coming, this is indicative of a larger problem that requires some sort of enforcement beyond the application of common sense" Said Kruger. People are not paying attention to what they are doing because they cannot hear? We have people that cannot see or hear walking around all of the time, just the other day I saw a visually impaired man walking down the street, his excuse for this law is not viable, common sense is something that people need to acquire and nothing more and nothing needs to be enforced by the government.

No iPod's, hand held video games or anything that can cause a distraction while crossing the street. Again if people want to risk their lives to listen to thirty seconds more of music than let them. I have an iPod and I listen while I ride my bike and I wouldn't want to take my headphones out every time I have to cross the street, I will just look around to see if there are any cars coming.

Our senators and members of our government have to be responsible for keeping us safe and preserving our freedom, not for taking it away.

NO MORE POLITICS

WARNING: IF YOU ARE NOT IN FAVOR OF THE STRAIGHT TRUTH ABOUT THE STATE OF OUR COUNTRY STOP READING RIGHT NOW.

I am tired of politics in America. People are hating people on the streets because of their ideals. Dirty fights breaking out and people hating other people because of politics. Ads from companies on both sides that are just plain evil. I might even just vote for the guy that doesn't play any bad ads, that is how annoying it is. Please stop this because when it comes down to it, if terrorists attack this county they're going to kill both of you. No terrorist cares what party you are in, no terrorist cares what race you are, and no terrorist cares how much money you have. That is what we have in common, it is the plain fact that we all want to be alive tomorrow. That is why I don't understand why we are attacking each other. Do you not see that this is what the enemies want!
Divide and conquer apply directly to the brain!
Divide and conquer apply directly to the brain!
Divide and conquer apply directly to the brain!
Do you get it now. Instead of screaming at me because I do not agree with you, accept it that it is America and I can have a different point of view. Not agreeing with someone and hating someone for what they believe is different. I don't agree with everyone but I won't hate you for it.

The Selfish Truth, With A Call To Unite

In America there are two different mind sets that determine how people think in regards to politics. The first one being simple every action that you commit has a consequence, this begs for the question, why do the action if the consequence is not beneficial? The other way of thinking goes as follows, do what you want and try your best to do away with what ever consequences may occur because you should be free to do what ever you want. It is the latter mind set that pushes abstinence out of schools when there are so many reasons why abstinence is a very beneficial action to take.

HIV testing is getting very popular among doctors and regular people. Now they are recommending that people as early as 13 start getting tested for HIV. This means a lot of things that we partially knew but maybe chose to ignore. It means that children at the age of 13 are having sex and/or experimenting with drugs and putting themselves at risk of getting the disease. This problem could be greatly helped by teaching our students in middle school in a different way. As far as drugs go schools have done a fairly good job of teaching children that drugs are not a good choice. On the other hand they teach them that they have a right to have sex and that makes teens think they are entitled to this as well as many other pleasures in life. I would be more in favor of teaching about pleasuring ones self before advocating sex with each other. Even though they are both most likely accepted in the schools sex education classes, at least that certain way they are not spreading disease everywhere. In no way do I think that it is an answer but as with most things having to do with politics and political issues you have to choose the lesser of the two evils , and I wish it were different!

This takes us on a very long journey into the minds of the liberal far left agenda. And it also reveals the selfishness of liberals. One underlying fact that nobody seems to take into account is that liberals are the most selfish people out there. Here is an example: Abortion , they never take the babies life into account they only take the pity on the mothers life and if it is going to make the life of the mother harder than they would say kill the baby. To combat that some would say that the baby would not get enough love or it would not have a good home and that is only justification for an abortion on the part of the mother and most likely an opinion skewed by an organization and or family member in favor of abortion. Some might say but the liberals only want to help people for example giving more money to the poor and raising taxes on the rich or providing universal health care. But that to stems from a selfish attitude, here are two reasons that they subconsciously convince themselves of their actions. We cannot put more money into the rich peoples pocket because they do not need it and therefore it is unfair to the poor people. And it is very important that everyone is equal and they get what everyone else has even if they do not deserve it. So how does that make them selfish? Because they pander to people that are in the lower class to get support from them and those people buy into it because they can get something from them. So all they want is support for their ideals and the power to push those ideals and these tactics have been used by governments for many years now. The latest example was the Venezuelan president pandering to lower class Americans so he can garner support from poor people and we all know that he wasn't going to give discounted gas to any middle class people that will need it just as much come winter.

Another example of the liberal selfish attitude is a new proposition in Arizona in regards to smoking. Prop. 206 bans smoking in public places and makes it a crime for a person to bring his/her child into a place where people smoke. So some might be asking how is this the same as tax cuts or universal health care? It is the same in regards to the fact that the liberals feel that if a small group of people are uncomfortable then everyone must be equally uncomfortable. So in other words if I work and I can afford health care then the people that don't work should get health care because I have it and that intern makes us equal.

But equality is not and was not supposed to be like that. Equality in America is not the same as equality in Venezuela or the old Soviet Union. Everyone is equal we all equally have the ability to get as far as we want in life. In other words I can get to be the owner of a major corporation and make tons of money in the same way that the person sitting next to me on the bus can. And I know that the people on the other side of this opinion will say that race, sex, size and religion hold people back and that is true in some situations and I pray every day that this problem will go away. But there are plenty of people that have broken through that because they did not dwell on the fact that they could be held back and fought their way up to the top because we live in America and they realized that.

I believe with my heart that if anybody works hard enough they can get anywhere they want. I also believe that I shouldn't hate anyone for any reason. But I do think that I can strongly dislike someone's ideas and not hate them personally. Sometimes I find myself thinking back to the day's after 9/11 and I remember how it felt for every American to be on a slightly even playing field. The people with money the people without, the people on the east coast the people on the west coast, and Democrats and Republicans. At the time I believe that brought about my first political revelation. I knew that it would not last long (as did many). I knew that with time we all would slowly break our bonds with our fellow man and become divided. Five years later I see that we are more divided than ever before. You might feel the need to blame people like me who have opinions about the other side that state opposition of them, but I don't think that is viable, our country is based on the idea that people should have their own opinion. You cannot place the blame on anyone specific, you have to blame everyone for it. People have started mixing up a persons ideals with the actual person. If we don't start getting along then something bad will happen. Getting along doesn't mean agreeing on everything but finding out what you do agree on and building on it because we need to unite as Americans. This is a statement to all of the people that I have called stupid or idiotic please don't make the mistake of it being aimed at you but aimed at your ideals.

The biggest mistake we could make would be to underestimate our enemy. In my mind the leftists and the democrats are not the enemy they are the competition, the true enemies are the guys that want to kill us. And don't think for a second that our enemies don't know what divide and conquer is.

How Much More of This Can We Take

I'll tell you right now that I love politics. Every time I vote my love for it grows. But right now at this very moment I am tired of it. There are a couple of things that we could do to make politics a little better. If we have learned anything from 9/11 and the War in Iraq it is that politics have not place in national security. The border and the war all have to do with national security and there is no room for politics there. That is the real reason why nothing gets done on the border because people on both sides are to afraid. That is the result of a divided nation, no body wants to do anything because if practically one percent of the voters change their minds then the party that made them mad is in the dumpster.

Is there a way that we can reunite again?
I honestly don't know, most likely its going to take something bad to happen, which is unfortunate. In other words once some idiot sneaks across the border and blows himself or something up then someone will do something about it. I am not saying that is what I want at all I just have a strange feeling for Washington to let go of its politics they either do it and save people now or they do nothing and people eventually get hurt. Honestly how hard do you think it would be for five or ten or twenty guys to get over the border. We have numbers greatly exceeding twenty everyday now. And 19 guys can do a lot evidence is obviously what they did on 9/11. We are just tying ourselves in a knot because we are not allowing our small law enforcement (police) to do anything about illegal immigration and the border patrol cannot be everywhere at once so as you can see we are doing it again (Definition it:. Selling our country out in the name of politics the same way that we did before 9/11). So to answer the real question can we unite again, yes but it is very possible that it will either be at the end of something bad or more unlikely but hopefully it will be at the end of the fear of something bad happening.

It is very funny yesterday was primary election day and I was very happy to know that the political ads were going to be cut in half and hopefully be off the air for a little bit. But last night and this morning after the election was already over I was watching T.V. and what did I see a political ad for the primary. And I will be the first to tell you that it was pretty annoying. Politics is everywhere but that is how our democracy works. Just keep in mind it could be worse, that's what keeps me moving.

Late Night, Sinatra, autumn, and Life

I'm up late, had a long day at work today, listening to Sinatra, got a lot on my mind, now I'm about fifteen minutes into the fifth anniversary of 9/11 and sure its kind of strange.

It's strange when you look back at different times in your life. I was 15 when 9/11 happened five years later (well five plus fifteen equals twenty) I'm twenty. "Wow", I've been saying it to myself all day. That means five year old kids are now 10 and 15 year old kids that were 10 and now they're right where I was and it is strange. This event changed my life. If I hadn't seen 9/11 I probably wouldn't be typing here and I wouldn't have as much interest in politics and world issues. I am not saying that it was good by ANY means but as a child it woke me up. I just remember walking out of my high school to use the bathroom and standing in a totally vacant hallway at about 10:30a.m. pacific time and I just had a glimmer of fear, that it might not end and the feeling that I could be next. It can happen after you watch something that insane all morning. I obviously can't say that I was there in New York but for sure I was feeling quite bad that day as did every American.

There are some things that I wish would just happen for one day.
1. For just today end all nasty campaign ads.
2. For just today treat your neighbor as yourself.
3. For just today remember all of the hero's that are fighting for you.
4. For just today say hello to one person form the other political party.
5. For just for today take time to stop and look around and enjoy life with each breath and every single heart beat.

Autumn is in the air now and it feels beautiful outside. Winter is just around the corner as well as life. I'm going to finish up this Sinatra album and go to bed.

"Make it one more for my baby and one more for the road"- Frank Sinatra


God Bless everyone on this day.
And just pray for and remember everyone that has died and all of the people that are fighting and dying for you.

There Is Something Wrong With Society!

I don't know why we do it. I do it, you do it, we all do it. Do you ever think about it? What is it? It is the fact that we all give our money to companies that are constantly ruining our society. A woman came into my work during my shift and was harshly saying how she won't shop from a certain store because they support pornography. I have heard this many times and I have even used the following reasoning as an analogy for other situations that people bring up as various reasons for not shopping to a store or restaurant. The one question that I asked her was, do you shop at your local gas station or for that matter purchase gas? My next comment to her was they sell pornography! When I said that she said "wow I never thought of that".

That example was a very pithy example that has no effect outside of the United States. You can use the gas stations as another example the easiest and most well known example is gas itself! Who do we buy our gas from? We buy our gas from the middle east, enough said. That's only two examples and right there you are already assisting in two industries that are not doing anything good for the country. That brings me back my original question, why do we do it? Why do we buy product from places that use the money that we give them to buy more products that are damaging to our society? The answer in short is because we do. If you were expecting some profound answer I cannot give you one. Right now you may be feeling like you just read this for nothing, maybe you were looking for some sort of answer, to tell you the truth I don't have it.

I can tell you this though take three things that you use every day, for me it would be my computer, my car, and house. Now that you have your three things see how using them will negatively and positively impact society. For me my computer time is spent on the internet my internet is the local cable company who gives the service of pornography (if you purchase it) and internet (which has pornography on it) to people that like that sort of thing so that negatively effects society. But they also provide some good children and educational programming and allow me to do this, so that is a plus. Next my car, I use my car for work and I buy gas just as anyone does so I am guilty of giving money to companies that buy gas from places that I don't approve of. Last my house that is very broad but I use my house as shelter from rain, I use it to stay out of the heat and I use it to keep my goods and to power my goods, such as my computer and TV and cable which all lead back to something that can have negative effects on society.

By now you must be thinking that we are all doomed, that there is no way out and no matter what I do I will be giving people money that don't deserve it. I used the three things to illustrate that in all actuality there is very little that you can do and there is very little that I can do. But we are not doomed! There is a little thing that I would call intent, what are your intentions when you use the internet? What do you use the cable for? And What do you shop at the gas station for?

I would hope that the answer is "what I need to get by", because there are very few places that we can trust anymore, they all do it and no matter what you do there is almost not escaping it unless people all turn into hermits. So my one recommendation is to attack it at a lower level for example that local business that paints pictures and hangs signs that condemn our troops, don't eat there. But when you try to take it to a higher level it is nearly impossible, because when you are dealing with corporate companies in some cases you have to accept that capitalism must take its course. At the same time don't give up the fight, keep trying to find new way's to keep your money going to the right places.
