Where's the Telescope?

Assuming that people really aren't all that stupid in the math department [look at previous posting]...why in the world would we continue to practice a type of lifestyle...that will most certainly lead to an extinction of North American culture as we have known it for centuries?!...

Note...I did not say "that will most certainly lead to its extinction...period!"

We live in a culture that is ultra-individualistic...this means that for the most part...people draw a circle around themselves...and focus on life inside the circle...

Our advanced technology only encourages this individualism...people go home from work [8 hours spent in a little cubical], open their electric garage door and drive right into their garage, avoiding all eye contact with pesky neighbors [who just might want to do the unthinkable...you know...like talk to you face to face]...once they are safe inside their bubble...er...I mean house...then they spend the night watching other people pretend to live exciting lives...screening all calls via their "call display" or answering machine.

No one really pays attention to the bigger picture...no one really looks at ALL of the single child homes and says...hmmmm...what will things look like in the next generation?

And if the next generation...which will be drastically smaller then today's, follows the same...one child for two parent formula...then how dwindling will the population be?

We have swallowed the lie...we have heard the propaganda for so long...we actually believe it.

We are not over populated! We need to wake up! Children are not an inconvenience...they are the future!

Our culture needs a radical U-Turn...before it disappears as it wanders lost in the woods, in it's self centered, present focused, life styles...

I read this quote the other day...it is so true...

If you are one step ahead of the crowd...you are a leader...

If you are two steps ahead of the crowd...you are a pioneer...

If you are three steps ahead of the crowd...you are a martyr

We need people willing to lay down their comforts and luxeries...to ensure that we actually have a future...or all is lost...
