Tiger Woods + playing Golf

Is a golf star more important than a plumber, a mechanic who can fix your car, or a nurse who changes your bedpan every 3 hours? Are media stars more important than engineers or teachers, auto-workers or sanitation workers who haul off your daily garbage? Do we ALL want become RICH AND FAMOUS? And why? For what purpose? 2/3 of the world's population is barely surviving...

You were right Ella.

Unfortunately!

Laura:  yeah...I wish, I wasn't :(

[LouieArrighi]

we still only have and had 2 choices, D or R.

[55ella2007k]

Louie: true, but then this so-called two-party system (which is basically pro-corporate at both ends) needs to be challenged: a) through true grass roots movements from without or b) through the formation of third and VIABLE party or a combination of both. Buidling a viable third party will take 20 years or so, grassroots movements take less time. Anyway, it is my belief, for whatever it's worth, that the 'system' can no longer be 'reformed' from within.

Misleading title. Why?

[55ella2007k]

principles101: because it doesn't do any good to keep preaching to the same choir. Because big media and sensationalist bullshit is what people are paying attention to these days - whether we like it or not. Sometimes, certain tactical choices do NOT imply given up one's prinicples. Anyway, it was a valid question - thanks !

I'm writing my reps almost every day expressing my outrage with what's going on. I'm not going down without exercising my rights. I'm educating my family and friends to the point of annoyance, but I'm competing with the robotics of MSM, Tiger Woods, Paris Hilton and Britney Spears. I'm hopeful that at some point we will reach critical mass and the world will be ready to wake up en masse and the work that we are doing will lay the groundwork for a new dawn of civilization. Crazy? Perhaps.

End the war or get serious about solving todays problems I say.

[AlphaHorizon]

Ofcourse if this was actually about the greater good. We would systematically target religion. America could glass the whole fucking middle east and over a hundred years colonize jews and Christians and we will be right back where we are now. Cuz its not about the Taliban.

In our society your told how to do everything "proper" from walk to how to smell. But when it comes to the psychotic thoughts in your head, well, those are off limits...There's the first step to winning the war on terror.

[AlphaHorizon]

This isn't a war on the Taliban it is a war on terrorism. But it isn't, because the war on terror was officially ended last month. The surge in Afghanistan with allied troops pushing against a hardened Pakistan boarder is a tactic to defeat a militia. Not the problem at hand.

America can't win the war on Terror but Obama can win the war on the Taliban, with your money and your lives for his political gain. No doubt for the "greater good".

[55ella2007k]

Heartbreakin: yes, as a matter of fact, Obama is the neo-con's new darling - even Bill Kristol (neo-con in chief) is practically salivating over the troop surge. Read his absolutely decrepit op-ed piece in the New York Times.

[55ella2007k]

TheDystopiaInside: yes, I agree, and I'm as frustrated as you are, but that's all the more reason to pay attention to politics, because this is PRECISELY what the elites want us to do: to stop paying attention. This is why we are constantly being bombarded with crap, like the Tiger Woods shit, which does not matter in the least - because it has absolutely no impact on people's lives. Thanks for taking the time to comment ! :)
