It seems to me that American society in general is destroying the planet they live on and don't even give a shit as long as duck dynasty, survivor,American idol is on, The country's gone to facisim ( corporate / government collusion) society is worried about the latest IPhone, big sale at Wally world , or big buy, I feel that these things are insane , So does that make me crazy? Has the cheese slid off my cracker? Or will society awaken at some point? From what I've read and seen it's getting way too late.

(13,091 posts)I don't think all the fault can be laid at the feet of the American Society.
I think the politicians are responsible for legislation that enables and
allows corporations to destroy the planet.
Every time the American Society rises up against the government and
the corporations, the 'police' and Homeland Security are sent in to quash
the dissenters.
Bush squandered our tax dollars with his warmongering and illegal invasions.
Nancy Pelosi is the one who allowed the Bush administration to escape
prosecution for war crimes.
President Obama is the one enabling Shell to drill in the Arctic.
President Obama and Eric Holder are the ones who allowed Wall Street
to steal the 'wealth' of the American workers.
I have conserved energy and respected the planet before it was in fashion.
Many of us are too poor to have IPhones.
I don't shop at Wally World.
I have never watched Duck Dynasty, Survivor, or American Idol.
Everything that is wrong with this country can be squarely placed at the
feet of D.C. politicians.
The Military Industrial Complex needs oil to conquer the globe.

OWS woke up everybody who is capable of waking up. This is a good thing.
Whether it's enough remains to be seen.
In the meantime, you're not crazy. The country itself just might be.

(4,205 posts)Has been running through my mind pretty often of late... I am pretty glad I probably won't be around to see the end of this .... Mankind is trashing their home and seems to be totally oblivious to that fact...The planet will survive and so will most animals, humans may somehow get past a lot of it but only in small self supporting groups...
