But this, I think, is a mark that we have evolved as a nation and a people. When our lives are so simple that we can afford to actually be engrossed by Brittany and read such blathering sites like perez-hilton....yes, we have indeed come a long way baby.<BR/><BR/>Yes, we will be disconnected from the poverty and struggles of the world but this is really a good thing. Those people are really old societies - unlike our new america. We made it what it is, even the welfare state is a commodity that other societies simply cannot achieve. Think of it like we are the europeans to the native americans. They were in place for thousands of years yet evolved their own way.<BR/><BR/>Only this time, even our 'poverty' is an improvement on the norms of other places...they chose their path, they now have the ability of instant communication (thanks to USA) and they're jealous of how easy our lives can become.<BR/><BR/>I do not pity the strife areas of the world. I do not pity the Philippines and African nations with horrid 3rd world conditions and unemployment. They lasted in place for thousands of years but chose to not evolve. Now, they simply wont stop breeding. They cannot feed themselves at a level they never had historically. They blame other for interrupting their evolution (which wasnt happening) they embrace our technologies (that they did not develop), they have communications and see how the other side lives...and are jealous.<BR/><BR/>Screw em.<BR/><BR/>I like my 99 cent microwave macaroni from walmart. We did not breed them into poverty, they did that themselves. They want 'our' trappings of life but cant be bothered to mature as societies. We grew up and developed with cellphones over the course of 20 years. They woke up one day and decided it was a good thing to buy off the shelf....having no clue about it other than as a toy.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
