That’s another human issue. Even voting has become nothing more than a platform for pretending (when is the last time our elected officials actually worked the will of the people). They make a big deal of it, but nobody actually trusts them. They’re as smarmy as used car salesmen. Pandora, with all due respect – and I MEAN that – I don’t know what your husband does. But I know YOU, and you are a decent human being. I can only assume that the marriage works out due to shared core values. So voting isn’t enough, either.
What will fix it, we will never have. We need a majority of human beings (let’s start small, and deal with only the US for a minute) working toward a common goal. In this instance, it would be for the purpose of bettering humanity, right? It would be easier to pull a loaded freight train down a gravel road with your teeth, than make that happen. The ONLY thing that makes a large group of people pull together is ANGER. Not love, not compassion, not any warm, fuzzy emotion. We will never emote all over the place with only love and compassion driving us, because that is not directly related to survival.
We can’t pull together long enough to even get healthcare reform to pass, but dammit, try repealing the 2nd amendment and see what happens!! A flurry of paperwork doens’t do shit to motivate a person. For heaven’s sake that’s why the Patriot Act didnt raise a fuss! It took away more rights than the last 80 years combined. But take a gun out of everyone’s hand and you’ve got yourself a nationwide riot.
