i'm not anti-american
i'm anti-stupid
do you see any conflict with what is asked of american citizenry and what is possible??
i think i offered a few notable conflicts between conformity with what is expected and conformity with what is possible.
and italy looks like a boot?
what does the americas' east coast resemble ...
the north east part of africa looks like one of egypt's gods with an outstretched hand ... perhaps the jackal headed one ...
just some thoughts...
thanks for sharing guys.
point of the thread is what is being expected of newborns in order to conform with societies' expectations is far from what i would think of
"freedom" as being.
i think it could be easily argued that such a society's construct has no foundation, where no foundation exisits... and that such society is
dependant upon what keeps it from knowing the truth of it ... maybe due to self preservation ..
is what america is offering "freedom"?
freedom is a funny thing if it means a newborn who is in over it's head in debt the moment it's life begins, and you'll never earn enough money to
pay for learning all the laws, all the rules, and all the ordinances, etc ...
if anyone could do it, the law makers could, but i really don't think they could remember from their collective memory all expected standards for
conformity in their own culture.
and how logical is it for law makers to expect from anyone that which they themselves don't know?
here, play a game called life and play by al the rules, and pay heavy in tuition if you want to know all the rules, and be further in debt due to
school costs, and never really learn all the rules. in between live, and die.
