I don't usually answer a question with a question, but are you going to be intelligent?
I can't let it go...I find you fascinating, EMPIRE.
With an outlook like that, how do you live each day? When you get together with friends, what do you talk about? When you smell a good ol' greasy pepperoni pizza..do you get excited or just say"What's the point?"
Like I said earlier, there's always gonna be a bigger fish in the pond...but man, how do you wake and get up each day with an outlook like yours?
Not only is your glass half empty, its chipped and full of mud. I hope I'm wrong...tell me I'm wrong.
Man, there is always tommorrow.... have ye so little hope?
All sarcasm and wit aside... do you enjoy birds singing, a sunset, the smell of BBq cooking, maybe a nice ice cold Coke in the little green bottles? How about bacon on a cheeseburger... or some good Wagner or Aaron Copeland to wake to. Ever seen a giant herd of 3000 buffaloe? What do you live for, EMPIRE?

Usually, I am as intelligent as the company I keep...so, do you eat crab with avocados?

Oh, I agree that America, and possibly most of the rest of the world, is, in effect, enslaved. No doubt about that. Are you just now coming to this realization? WELL then, kinda sucks, don't it?
But nothing will change with people like you running around, saying, envisioning, creating, focusing on, brooding, putting forth into the Universal Consciousness- this "we're done for" mentality.
A lot of good real good takes place in this world everyday, my friend. Most of these deeds go unpublished, and unsung heroes continue to sing their songs. It's a thankless job. They are thankless deeds. But they are good deeds. There is still love left in this world, shown only to those that matter.
The elite don't matter to love, and neither do riches. Death doesn't matter to love, and neither does life. If you are enslaved, you are only enslaved to your own thoughts. Through your own perception of self-enslavement, you only tighten further the shackles that chain you to your perceptions.
This is why meditation is so crucial. For once you release these perceptions in favor of a mind empty of words, there is only one thing left. Just don't be a fool and try to describe it with another word.
