“Life is something that happens while you’re making other plans.”

[Cyrano]

I think it was John Lennon who first said those words. Shakespeare couldn’t have said it better.

Most of us had dreams of what we would become. Yet, I don’t believe that we ever imagined that ignorance and indifference would allow our world and our way of life to be stolen from us.

At this very moment the “know-nothings” own America.

Far too many human beings are mere puppets with their strings being pulled by creatures like Rush Limbaugh, or Fox “News.” The funding of this ignorance comes from Murdoch, Clear Channel (which owns all the stations that broadcast Limbaugh), people like the Koch brothers, and many other walking, talking human cancers. The names may change over the decades, but the goal of "the haves and the have mores" remains constant. They want to own everything and everyone there is to own. And they also want to keep us as dumb as possible.

But here's the catch. The rest of us really are the majority. Yet, here we are. Screwed, unemployed, or worrying that we soon will be, and trying to “catch up” with the inflation that we’re told doesn’t exist. (Figure it out for yourself the next time you go to the super market.)

I guess I’m one of those fools who are still making plans while life goes by. How about you?

2. My life has certainly been a journey, not a destination. Literally.

My next attempt to settle down will be in the Caribbean.

4. I wish you luck! I hope your journey is a good one. nt

3. I am so depressed. I am trying to make plans with what little I have left

of living my dream. I'm tired. What's sad is that I really don't want or need a lot to be happy. I guess I'm a fool too...pressing ahead hoping I can achieve my humble goals.

5. I don't think the rest of us are in the majority.

Most of the real brainwashing in this country comes from music,television,movies,books,ect ect.Also a lot of propaganda comes from supposed neutral news media the right wing media is designed to make the rest of the media look reasonable.Sure the people being brainwashed directly by right wing propaganda are in the minority but that isn't our only problem.
