Pretty interestin' reading...

Everyone seems to be trying to find the panacea... Ain't none...

It's in our ***culture***... Our ***culture*** has been desensitized... That's why people think it's okay to do some of the dumbass stuff they do...

(But, Boberdz... What is our culture???)

Well, it's alot of things...

It's about the last century being the killing century... More people were killed in the 1900's in war than in all the centuries before it combined!!! That, my fellow Mudfolk, is shamefull but worse than being shamefull, it desensitzed the entire grobal tribe of homo sapiens to think that that stuff is just okee-dokee...

It ain't...

But our culture has accepted it... No, make that embraced it!!!

(What???)

Yeah, go to any movie... Watch the senseless killing as if it's like going to watch a baseball game???

(But we have to find ***THE CULPRIT***!!!)

Ain't gonna happen...

Yeah, it's about gun laws, it's about racism, it's about economy, it's about the deinstitutionalization of folks with sever mental problems in the 80s, it's about the breakup of families, it's about ad-men tellin' us how we have to live in order to be happy or to look as if we are happy, it's about time that we don't give each other, it's about the information explosion, it's about the way that people interact (like thru computers) or don't, it's about too many people feeling as it that are a rock, they are an island, it's about alot of stuff...

This culture seems to be the one with which we are hoplessly/hopefully stuck....

Can't asy it aqin't been one heck of a friggibn' ride...

But it's a real shame that the folks of my generation- you know, the 60s- couldn't have short circuited some of the bad effects that the ride brought with it...

(us' the thoughts of an ol' hippie...)
