We always wonder why our country is so messed up; why we have serial killers here, and wars in Iraq, why our country behaves so much like the sociopaths that we try to put behind bars.
Its not too difficult to see what the causes of some of the problems are.
-we completely lack an imagination (more on that later)
-we use spirituality to make ourselves look good and not for the benefit of others
-we ignored the true spirit of the American Revolution
-simultaneously, we are fain to live in positive community with each other
-we look at Anarchy as a bad thing rather than a perfect ideal
-nationalism is the driving force behind our government's actions
-Don't even get me started on capitalism.
Am I a communist? No.
Am I a liberal socialist? Maybe
A libertarian? Maybe
But what I do know is that our lives are micromanaged by the authorites in our life, whether it is business telling us how to support their interests by buying worthless crap that we will use maybe once, or it is the government telling us what we can or can't do with our property.
We need to own our selves again. Its not enough to lurch forwards through life blindfolded, trying to hit the pinata of happiness. Rather, we ought to look around at the things that make us human and seek them out. The search for practically attainable happiness is what this blog is all about.
Remember, the only freedom that we can have is freedom that we can take for ourselves. If only for a minute, lets take hold of that freedom and have a keen flow of ideas.
