So very true. We have no one to blame but ourselves. People love to point the finger at the politicians, the CEOs - and yes they are corrupt. But people forget that they are a product of our society. It's like to old saying goes: garbage in, garbage out. Nothing is going to change unless society as a whole changes. Think about it, this economy is already in the crapper and spiraling further and further out of control each day. Yet, the new iPhone comes out and there are lines all the way out the store to purchase this $300 dollar plastic screen because "Oh, my old one which I just got less than a year ago isn't as cool as this one." Don't you think there's something terribly wrong here? People need to get back to basics in this country and slow the **** down, because we're loosing sight of the important things around us. The 50s were historically the most prosperous time for the US. Things were much more simpler and people held things important like family and community. Today that is all gone and everything is about numero uno, and you see it in the things we buy and everything we do:
iphone,
ipod,
myspace...it's ridiculous. It's sad to say it, but maybe this country needs a depression to wipe the slate clean and give people kick of reality. /rant
