My attempt at philosophy drew little attention from the gallery.
I thought about that mid-life crisis thingy…still thinking about that.
I didn’t mean “change” like, from one season to the next kinda “change”. It seems to me,…
…a “fall of the Roman Empire” kind of change. A change of ideals and ideology….on a global scale
…but maybe the sky is just blue and maybe it always will be.?
Never mind…carry on

March 26, 2010 at 11:21 AM #531620Allan from FallbrookParticipantTexasLine: Actually, I do think you’re onto something here.
For the last generation or two, we’ve grown accustomed to cheap food, fuel and money and have built an unsustainable societal and business model around it.
We’ve gotten used to a unipolar world in the last twenty years and, like Rome and Great Britain, have grown complacent, lazy and morally weak.
As a country we’ve come to abhor hard choices and are unwilling to recognize that the cost of our lifestyle has grown exponentially more expensive, in terms of health care (due to poor lifestyle choices like all that cheap, commodified McDonalds food), resource extraction (fiscally ruinous wars in Iraq and Afghanistan), and business/finance (attempting to sustain wealth generation with a depleted manufacturing base and acting as though pushing pieces of paper around or selling each other overpriced houses is somehow actual work).
Nope, I think you’re right. There is a seismic change taking place and, even if you can’t see it, you can feel it coming.
