Woah, Hi! I will have to do that. I've been planning on using wine at some point I've just never gotten around to it.
Also Hi! How have you been? :)

Other people make the best impromptu drums...
I tend to hum or whistle, it drives Crista crazy because I'll do it for hours non-stop without realizing it, or tap out rhythms on whatever is nearby... my desk, the car door, her arm...

It is interesting, as well as important to consider these things. I considered them before posting, which is why I bothered posting this rant in the first place heh. I ended up going with my "common" sense and deciding that regardless of if people listened to me, I should say what I have to say. Making people listen isn't truly the point I think... it's putting it out there for people to hear.

"Worse"? Economic depression, completely collapse of social system/government as we know it without any safeguards in place to prevent both the local and world-wise scale anarchy that would follow? The complete disregard for personal liberty (as opposed to the subtle yet only partial disregard for it there is now) by the government and military?

That raises the problem of a lack of change though. Obviously neither of us can, or should force our opinion on others. But if apathy rules the nation, nothing will change that you or I along can't affect, and things will continue to worsen, yes?

Quiet you!

But do you disagree with me? That is the question.

I'm pretty sure I never said or implied that. :-P

Then you're actually doing what I was trying to say. Those who DO wait until others act are the issue I'm attempting to address. You're actually the example I'm attempting to support, act when you see that action is necessary, instead of waiting for someone else to instigate action (my V for Vendetta example). I don't see how advocating action is presumptuous or egotistical, simply a request that people stop waiting for approval to act, and act of their own will.

I promoted no cause, but simply the need for change, as it were. I didn't say what was right, simply that the rapid decline on our society, and world is obvious, and something must be done to remedy it, if that's possible. Would you say that the economy and political situation in the US is doing well right now?
I'm questioning the state of the world we're living in right now, the ineffectual attempts to change it, and looking for a change that might work, not declaring I know what to do. Is there a wrong and a right at all? Or is there simply change vs. a lack thereof? Will different change have any effect at all? Does there need to be an instigator, a scapegoat... a force of nature to affect change? And must change have a direction... a goal? Change for the sake of change might make things worse, but it might make them better. If I look for change we'll find it, it just might not be the change I'm looking for. But it almost might be better. I'm not sure that it's necessary to know what I should be doing, as long as I *am* doing.
And I defy you to find a real, solid reason not to listen.
