4. Good ole Nation building eh!!
I am sorry...and I know those words have no meaning anymore.

It is too much for almost all to handle....can't give up something to help out another (for the most part)...look whats happening with the planet....people who really do care are ridiculed/made to feel they are insane and alone...
It's the average human psyche..too afraid to make the important stand....too afraid of what it would mean...TOO AFRAID....and until you are infringing upon their materialistic lives..they couldn't give a hoot really. Pretty sad to say the least.

Fat and lazy for far too long....This I feel is a western thing.....

Those who really want to make a change are gathered up and put away- think Burma for one...this is really too much for the average Joe to handle let alone think about...its easier that way...go back to watching American Idol and drinkin that beer...now that they can handle...

For me...I sit every day..wondering if this will be the day I stand up....and say NO...This can't go on...Will someone join me...will I be alone..? And I am ashamed to say..I still sit waiting...too afraid to make the leap of faith needed to start down that path...but wanting to within my heart..will the day come when my heart takes the stage and leads me where I know I will make a difference...where I know..in the end..I did what I could for you and me?

Deep thoughts.....too deep for some...to deep for even me.
