That kind of attitude will be how the people of the 21st century will be remembered.<br />It's a tragedy - we have so much to offer as a civilisation yet we waste our time playing with our iPhones or chatting about celebrities on various social media sites.

We are so inept as a society--possessing all the power in our hands and refusing to use it--the leaders can do nothing--have no power whatsoever if the people do not follow and agree to what they're doing..but we've become so apathetic that we just allow whatever happens to happen.Timoteohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08351410966396854582noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8052731808587837031.post-58445430287828119302010-06-12T13:37:59.786-07:002010-06-12T13:37:59.786-07:00I could go into this so deeply... .

But as far a content goes, I always try to call it as I see it. :)<br /><br />LORRAINE,<br />Well, it's all about the greed of the oil companies, and how they kept the electric car off the market for so long. Let's face it, if greed wasn't something so inherent in the human condition, we wouldn't be seeing this debacle unfolding right now! <br /><br />LINDA,<br />Those are all good artists to express this sentiment, but I think I would choose Peter, Paul, and Mary--except that Mary recently passed on. <br />There isn't really anybody I can think of in today's YOUNGER generation that knows enough about questioning authority (you needed to live through the sixties for that) to be an effective spokesperson. <br />The Lady Ga Ga types are only about attracting attention to THEMSELVES with bizarre costumes and behavior--think what a platform they would have if they actually cared enough to speak out. Tiger Woods was a prime example of that. Everybody would have listened to him, (whether he knew what he was talking about or not) but he never uttered a peep about changing the world--didn't want to alienate his sponsors. (He found a way to do it, anyway!)<br />There are so many famous people who could be in the forefront of movements for change, and who could help galvanize others, but it looks like only a grassroots movement is going to accomplish anything. Guess I'll stop because maybe I should turn these ideas into a post!<br /><br />By the way, "societal" IS a word. Just means of or having to do with society. So you're cool, baby...you're cool...Timoteohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08351410966396854582noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8052731808587837031.post-75623335657305015782010-06-12T07:41:02.998-07:002010-06-12T07:41:02.998-07:00Oh, and just so you know, I know there's no su...Oh, and just so you know, I know there's no such word as societal!
