Armageddon

Is this the beginning of the end of times? "The oceans ran red..." A war in the middle east. It may not be a sign of the end of times, but it could, and probably will be a time of unprecedented disaster for mankind.

The world will not end for a long time, but it may continue without the presence of human life. The human race is committing slow suicide. The food that we rely on has been turned into processed meals that are not healthy for us. More and more food is being contaminated and recalled. Life expectancy will fall because of diseases that were once thought to be extinct.

Man has done it's self no favors over the past 100 years. We have changed the climate and released poison's into our water. We have poisoned the land with fertilizers that are only now beginning to show their effects. We accept Mercury levels in fish and water.

Few people pay attention to government standards and guidelines, but they should. In the case of food, water, and the majority of thing that people come into contact with, the government has basically set the amounts of poisonous substances a element can contain. These standards exist in all of the developed countries, but vary by Government.

I find it very amusing that people who are attached to a cell phone which exposes them to low levels of radiation worry whether cigarette smoke is within twenty yards of them. It is simply amazing that they can be so ignorant as to place a miniature microwave oven against their ear and worry about second hand smoke outside. I also find it sad that people who are ten seconds away from a stroke because of their weight and stress levels worry about who is wearing a seat belt (I Wear Mine Religiously). The fact is that, though seat belts and air bags reduce injuries, a seat belt and air bag is not going to save you if you get into an accident on a snow covered road in an SUV going seventy. It's not going to prevent you from keeling over dead from blocked arteries either.

Millions of people have Google. I suggest you google the top ten causes of death. You will get an eye opener.

The end of the world? A meteorite doesn't have to hit to end life for humans, we are doing a great job of ending it ourselves.

Final Quiz: If people begin to die at age 21 due to lack of medical care; How long will it take for humans to go extinct?

Land of The Heartless

Looking south from Top of the Rock, New York CityImage via Wikipedia

America has never cared.
Americans have a distorted view of themselves. They think that they are good and caring people. It isn't their fault. The press has brainwashed them in to their beliefs.
If you would donate a dollar to a dog before a person, you are a sad excuse for a human being. It is disgusting that an animal actually has more rights than a person. It is immoral that the law favors an animals living conditions than a humans. I love animals and I don't support cruelty or mistreatment. I had cats my whole life and they were like family. My aunt had a dog she took everywhere and we all loved him. The fact is though that when a person can kill another person and get a lower sentence than someone who kills an animal, there is something very wrong in America. When people watch the news and see reports of murders and are not moved, but are moved by the death of an animal we have hit an all time low. If the words he got what he deserved or he made a bad choice pass your lips to explain the death of a person, there is something very wrong. Do pets make bad choices. I don't think I've heard anyone say that.
We have mistreated each other since this country was founded. African Americans were slaves, but many immigrants came here as indentured servants also. Every new group of immigrants have been the subject of some kind of prejudice. Americans feel that people who come here from abroad should have been born speaking English. If we were treated the same way we treated people from other countries there would be an International incident. These are facts, but America has hit a new low in it's hard heartiness.
I have heard the statement; It doesn't effect me so many times that i am ashamed. This statement is used to dismiss the mistreatment of millions of Americans ever day. I heard it about the uninsured. I hear it about people who are wrongly convicted. I hear it about the disabled. These words simply dismiss the fact that a fellow human being is suffering. I find it revolting to hear that another person has no value.
This attitude has led to an America where kids can't read when they graduate from high school, where people can step over a dead person on the sidewalk (New York City), where drugs can be sold on the corners, where children's parents die because they have no health care, and where tragedies are simply less interesting than what is going on in Hollywood.
If you don't think this is sick you are bordering on being a sociopath. It wouldn't surprise me though, because sociopaths are becoming the norm.
