You vote with paper. I am a mother of 7 with a wide-ranging influence. I vote by influencing how others play the game of life. I grow things and teach my children to grow things that can feed more than just this family.
Part of being the solution is actually making healthy substitutions for fleeting and undesirable societal customs.
And limiting plastic use.... whatever we can. Our "footprint" is as small per person as a third-worlder. And we are promoting this lifestyle to first worlders in and through our children.
These things are all well and good, but our greatest problem at the moment in this country is the wholesale corruption of our government by a very small but very wealthy elite, that are using their corrupting influence to destroy the nation for their own fun and profit. It has gotten so bad that we can't trust our own government to stop a drug company from KILLING AND MAIMING OUR CHILDREN just to sell more of their expensive vaccines,and make even more money. Do you recognize how serious this is? These people are willing to KILL US to increase their profits. They are willing to take away our homes, our jobs, our healthcare, our health, our children's health, our access to an education, our retirement; anything. They are willing to cause us enormous suffering and even death just so they can make more money. And these are the people who are currently controlling our government: who are choosing our candidates for us, and paying for their campaigns. These are the people who are determining every decision our legislature and our presidents make (regardless of party); and they are destroying our lives and our nation as a result.
It's THAT serious.
I'm not a blamer, I'm an imaginal cell in what looks to be a dying creature. Our children are the future in a society that looks like it has no hope in its current condition.
The name of the game isn't to blame, it's to recognize that we are part of a living organism called humanity. God is making His children in the midst of this organism. So God is here. There are natural checks and balances to all things.
I very much agree, but keep in mind that not everyone recognize this fact of reality through the paradigm of a religion, or theology. This isn't a struggle between the god-believers and the atheists. It's a struggle between plutocracy and socialism. And right now the plutocrats are running the show, big time, and they have been for decades. And their greed and avarice know no limit.
This has to stop, before they kill us all.
I think it's more important to hold office-holders responsible and represent the voice and will of the people to them. I care not who is the president, for example. A good president can be killed or corrupted. A bad one can be held in check by his natural fear of the will of people.
Right now, they have us all turned against each other, so that no one is holding them accountable for anything. And they know it. So they can do as they please. And they are.
It would be easier to investigate and hold them accountable or put them in jail when they break the law. Apathy needs to be a thing of the past, I do agree on that.
But they write the laws, and appoint the judges, so they control the system that's supposed to be holding them accountable. Yet we can still vote, and our votes still do mean something,
en masse. But we can't vote
en masse when they have us all divided against each other. Which is why every single week we see and hear countless paid media blowhards and lunatic bloggers constantly spewing out hyperbole about the "evil liberals", and the "evil conservatives", and the "evil president", and the "evil congress", and the "evil blacks", and the "evil poor", and how everything is always those "other guy's" fault. Every election we're told the same thing: vote for our lousy, crooked candidate because their lousy, crooked candidate is even worse! And every election we fall for it! Over and over and over again! And the result is an endless succession of lousy, crooked politicians who continue to do whatever their corporate sponsors tell them to do, which is to sell out the general public for their fun and profit.
This whole vaccine issue is just another in a long line of trumped up "issues" designed to keep us all fighting with each other, so we won't wake up and start fighting the insidious plutocracy that's slowly and inexorably destroying us all.
What diseases do you think it worked on and what other factors are you willing to give credit to for disease prevention? Whatever advantages vaccination might have given it did so without coercion as a tool. So we should remember that.
I am nearly 60 years old, and have not had to worry about a whole host of diseases that my great grandparents had to fear because of government sponsored and enforcement of public health and safety policies, including childhood vaccinations. So I believe it's safe to assume that at least those that I received all those years ago, did not harm me, and did help prevent a number of diseases.
But some good people are shouldering different responsibilities. My good people just stopped forced vaccination this year.
Like I said, good people fool themselves, and get fooled, all the time. And good people have caused all manner of horrors in the past - with all the best of intentions. Because the biggest problem with "good people" is that they never seem to realize that they're not as good as they think they are. And they never seem to realize that they're really no better than anyone else. :think:
