Scandalous

I just could not post this thought to my actual facebook page because of the nature of what I'm going to say, they are my words, and represent my thoughts, but they do not paint an adequate or useful picture of who I am. Like facebook statuses usually do? But, I could be less restrained. I was noticing how people acted differently on a game show after it was publically noted that they would be sort of immortalized this way.... anyway...

It is my opinion that the consumers are the ones holding the leadership positions. I said a whole lot more but lost it, so I'll just abridge it. I have always abhored how cultures spent money on things that are meant to be accessories, but they do not have the essentials. And because of this, I have been called racist. It is alot like callingsomeone who doesn't like terrorists a racist. Yes, there is a greater chance that the person is a terrorist if they are Arab just as there is a greater chance if you are black that you are a gang member, but I have never limited my ability to be offended because of skin color.

A more dangerous terrorist would be the unexpected recently converted all-American boy. likewise I noted that it was not ever noticed or expected that my husband would share that same prioritty or mind set that i consider lazy and just wrong, but since he has lost his job again, I get to see what he really values, and it really suprises me.

Now to tie that back in with pop culture and government. I feel like a complete outsider, because the only people spending money on frivilous things are the ones who are turning to the government to "rescue" them because they don't have money for their basic needs. once, at a picnicat my in-laws someone commented on the imigration problem as it being like birds or ther pets, Feed them, and they will never leave. And it attracts them.

All of these government programs are well meaning, but for every good use, there are a million and one bad uses. I recall people commenting on a goverment grant program for musicians, and a concern was that it would be cut, but it was argued that what had it really produced anyway. reality demonstrates many similar occurances whe it comes to government aide.

A friend just explained tome how things could be another way. I liked his thoughts, but my humor crept in, and the thought blared out, "Really? I though you were either a communist and saved the world or a fascist and tried to rule it." Really, I think that all of the government programs are just satan's way to creep in and steal our agency. Calling it openly "communisim" didn't work. Even though it actually is based on a lot of good principles and such. No one would be fooled by obvious evil, that is the conclusion. But, slowly, the economic shift is driving our government to a change alright, but it just feels wrong.

Have you noticed how even the radio (which pours out sugary goodness addicting listeners) plays mostly Urban music now, it is what sells. My mom said that our world was becoming less and less civilized. I think she was right,but don't know what to do about it.
