They just want to eat, drink and be merry and live in blissful ignorance."<BR/> <BR/>So true, Dave. <BR/><BR/>I'm a stranger in a strange land -an atheist in Salt Lake City, which means I can't express myself in any way, but I do listen to the people/co-workers around me. Their talk in the lunch room is of all things Mormon, Angelina Jollie, Idol, Survivor, NASCAR BFT's/SUV's, children, grandchildren, co-worker gossip, etc. There is no war. There is no election. There is no depression nor recession. They have absolutely no idea what's going on in the world and they stay clear of anything that will pull them away from their superficial lives. Geez, I just want to hurl -on them! But it was the same when I was living in Spartanburg, SC -i.e. Buckle of the Bible Belt. The big difference was that in SC, they're heavily armed and probably wouldn't think twice about blasting an atheist -to hell. Here it's more like "The Stepford Wives" -all of who want to have MORE children. Geez, as if we don't have enough sheeple on the planet earth. <BR/><BR/>Soilent Green? Shit, I bet those 99 cent Wendy's artery-clogging, death burgers ARE people. I mean, how do they get away with surving ground beef at such prices? It's gotta be people! <BR/><BR/>But hey, some good news today: stocks are down below 8000. Wooohooo!

I toured the Ford Motor Rouge Plant many, many years ago and have never gotten out of my mind the utterly inhumane setting. Henry Ford was right about paying living wages, but very wrong about assembly lines and what they do to people. <BR/><BR/>But, that is not the only inhumane workplace, is it.

The truth is that 90% of humans are not inquisitive, thoughtful or forward-looking. They just want to eat, drink and be merry and live in blissful ignorance.<BR/><BR/>Sad to say, but in an apocalyptic scenario they will likely be toast. The enlightened ones might have a better chance, owing to their better preparedness. Their biggest challenge will be getting the unenlightened ones to behave in a civilized manner, a difficult challenge in a dire situation.<BR/><BR/>Those of us who have looked ahead and made preparations and wisely adjusted our lifestyles to conform to the new reality, or coming reality, deserve to enjoy the fruits of our prescience and effort. Unfortunately, our "rulers" and the unenlightened masses won't see it that way. We will be seen as selfish, hoarders, uncooperative, uncaring. We won't be seen as wise elders with guidance to offer, at least not for a few centuries.<BR/><BR/>It's a pretty grim thought, so I don't dwell on it. I go about my day to day affairs and enjoy life as much as possible. Whenever I eat a nice meal I imagine that someday in the future I'll reminisce about the good old days when I could eat such fine food. The movie <I>Soylent Green</I> often comes to mind at such times, as I recall how in the movie a mere spoonful of strawberry jam was a savored delicacy. When that day comes, at least I'll have memories of good food! <I>"I remember when I was young, and you could walk into any grocery store and buy a steak for ..."</I><BR/><BR/>I wonder what it's like for young people today, people born less than 20 years ago. My childhood was idyllic compared to today. I occasionally catch a glimpse of old TV shows like <I>The Andy Griffith Show</I>, and honest to god, my childhood was closer to that show than it is to today. Today's youngsters have grown up in tumultuous times that are getting worse. They don't know anything else. I feel sorry for them. I feel grateful that I got to live during humanity's heyday.<BR/><BR/>I don't want to sound too dark here. There will be a future and if we work at it, the future can steadily improve. I don't know how long it might take us as a species to achieve utopia - maybe centuries, which won't do me any good. Unfortunately, the next couple of decades are going to be pretty rough.<BR/><BR/>Dave<BR/>http://daveeriqat.wordpress.com/Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-900671458188709604.post-50166286264828446502008-11-17T06:21:00.000-08:002008-11-17T06:21:00.000-08:00It struck me recently that all of the things we ar...It struck me recently that all of the things we are doing, all of the changes we are making and so forth, are really just laying the groundwork for those who will come after us. The changes we are experiencing are going to take generations, and all we can really do is give them a chance and lay the foundations for a better future on the other side of this mess.
