'sup folks? Well, gotta love crisp cool Saturday afternoons in October....one of life's simple joys. Couple things to opine on today. First, this fiasco out in San Fran.....the gay folks invading a Catholic service. Very, very offensive if you've caught some of the footage....which you probably haven't since our friendly neighborhood liberal mass media has buried the story. If some radical Catholics made of mockey of a Jewish or Muslim service it would be front page news, a national story and labeled as a hate crime. Couple questions: where are the Reverends Al and Jesse? Where's the ACLU? Where are the camera crews that were all over the Jena 6? Where are the liberal pundits who sacked Don Imus? No parades or rallies in support of Catholics? Humph....what can made of their absence? Does it tip a hand as to their agenda? Food for thought.
Second, we the hell are we in such a rush? Everyone in this society is in a huge hurry....quicker, faster, quicker, faster, more efficient, time is money, don't waste time, quickly, I can't wait in line........Look at the way people drive and people talk. Look at the yuppie who has to wear an ear piece cell phone into the store to buy bread and milk. Is he that important that he may need to be reached while paying the cashier before returning to his car within the next 90 seconds. Maybe he thinks he is. High speed this, faster that....don't waste time, be more effiencient. THANK YOU CORPORATE AMERICA, YOU'VE TRAINED US WELL.
My questions.....is anything sacrificed by this way of thinking and behaving? Perhaps patience and the ability to stop and smell the roses? Are personal relationships damaged? Do people feel less connected and more like a piece of retail commodity? Do conversations feel transactional? Seems like it's a huge badge of honor to always be on the run, always be busy.....don't have time to visit family, brothers and sisters, old friends, Mom and Dad, Grandma and Grandpa.....Well, how important can those things actually be? Let's just wait 6 more months until Christmas and miss out on the actual life that happens in between....let's just grow more distant....after all we can wait until there there is a crises, spend a few days understanding what's really imporant, pledge to change, and then get back to being busy, wearing our cell phone earpieces(that make us look like some cyborg creation out of Star Wars) and then let's get back to our 60 hours work works, endless company traveling, going global and learning how to be more politically correct since our fortune 500 company preaches diversity and inclusion.
Just some food for thought. Stay local, not global. Peace.
