Shit, I can legally have weed delivered to my house. I fucking love America.
not everyone has that luxury legally. i tend to look at things from the bigger picture. and frankly my generation doesnt give a shit about anything other then themselves. (yes its not true for everyone but the majority). im 21, i see the people around me. and the majority of them are clueless about the government.
i guess i see things differantly then alot of people. i see the stuff happening around me, i see how people interact around me. most are oblivious to what goes on. maybe its just from growing up in a small town, but i hate the way people interact in a city. people have lost something over the years. it is a step back when you come out to this part of the country, we arent as fast moving as other places. but one thing we do have here, is a larger sence of community.
little social experiment for you to show you how self centered people can be. go out to a public place, and say hello to the people you come in contact with. the majority will walk away from you without even glancing at you. others may say hello back. even this simple gesture of kindness, most wont even have the decency to say hello back to you.
this is where i draw my opinion on our country. my little corner of the country the community is the major goal. if someone needs help they get it wheather they asked for it or not. people are willing to help out. other places this doesnt happen near as much as it should. for instance someone with a flattire along side the highway. here people stop to lend a helping hand. elsewhere people go by and dont even notice because they have their own problems to take care of first.
as ive said time and time again, not EVERYONE is like this, but the majority is. the majority takes CNN news as truth. if they didnt, cnn would either change what it shows and how they show it, or else would be shut down. the majority of americans are not active in their local government. the majority of americans are distracted from the real picture by these media giants manipulating their storys to conform to a centeralized idea.
if these people involved with this whole scandel have nothing to hide. then they should have all of their data released to the public for review. if climate change is as big of a deal as they say it is, i want to be able to have access to all of their data. to many people are making to much money off of this, something in the system needs to change.
first and formost i feel that our government needs to rethink its place in the world. our civilization isnt ready for one world government there is to much corruption with the government we already have. this will only make things worse.
i can go on all day about the problems in our country. we have more of them then people choose to believe. right now theres thousands of people that are starving to death in our own country. we need to fix out own social problems before we try fixing the worlds problems.
now i do agree we do need to look at how we use our energy. we need to develope a plan to concerve as much energy as possible. the way they are trying to do this now isnt the right corse of action. the action right now is for a political agenda it has nothing to do with our enviroment.
how long are we going to let these transperant agancies run our country? i feel that positions in government should be on a vollenteer basis. no money should be made. money corrupts people. there is a better way to go about things then we are right now. and i predict within the next 50 years, there will be mass civil unrest in our country. now how important will your ipod be then?
see my point im making?
you don't make "very good Italian friends" without doing so. 
when I made the post about it being for the environment, I think my point was to say, "I wish it were for the environment" or something along those lines.
