GREED: Power and Control

 

Over the past several years and only if you have consistently read my opinion postings, you will see that I have been rather negative of the US of A...  My negativity is predicated upon the FACT that I LOVE MY COUNTRY and have a personal and vested interest along with a steadfast desire to see it REMAIN GREAT.

BY FAR and under any form of measurement, the US of A is the best frigging country in the world.  We have more natural resources that any other country, more intellectual people, more entrepreneurs, more patents and creative leaders, more colleges and universities, the best military in the world, and FREEDOMS that the rest of the world WILL NEVER ENJOY...

My main concern with the US of A is that we have created a society, a culture, and an incredible mentality that revolves around GREED.  Subordinate to GREED is the desire for POWER AND CONTROL.

GREED - POWER - CONTROL

This is the new religious trilogy of our country and the sad thing that is going on here is that all of our marketing and advertising commercials revolve around and push a mentality of this trilogy.

It is my opinion that if we continue on this trajectory that the US of A will once and for all lose sight of those values that made it great in the first place.

There is nothing wrong with making a profit and wanting a better life for your family and children but we want MORE THAN JUST BETTER...  

For most Americans life is nothing more than a BUFFET...  birth is the price you have to pay in order to eat at this buffet...  and most people are gluttonous when eating at this buffet.  Consequently, we have an OBESITY problem in this country which will lead to health issues and a premature death.

THINK ABOUT IT...
