The fundamental issue is that people today believe they are entitled to nice things. I am not sure exactly what or what caused this structural shift in materialism. I was thinking about it when I was mowing the lawn....about how can I avoid this materialistic shift. I could, then amass a large amount of money....but to do what? Just to save...that seems pointless because the whole purpose of saving is to buy things later. I just do not wish to buy things.
This led to thoughts on religion. There needs to be a religion, or civic group where people work together to do the right thing. Not this, if you don't do x, y, and z you are going to hell kind of religion...but a kind where people don't focus on certain acts to get to heaven.....me, personally, am not really concerned about heaven or hell, but would rather focus my efforts on improving the welfare around me. If I can find a group that collectively delay low value consumption (like that TV I mentioned) and willingly transfer those funds to high value consumption (such as after school programming, night school, job training, etc.) then things will be better off. I finished mowing the yard before I found a good solution...
if you would like to discuss religion, christianity in particular, i would be happy to share my thoughts on it via pm.

yeah I'm sure you've seen more then I have. good info for sure.
well it's just hard not to blame yourself. I mean something goes wrong you just assume that your to blame or you at least had a hand in act.

well I've already arranged a meeting with the folks in Ohio here next weekend. Dallas is much closer, perhaps I could hang out with you and Jntar sometime in the near future. Maybe just stay a night or something.

Tulsa is MUCH closer, it's like an hour and a half away. Sadly, I'm through a transitional state right now and haven't drank anything in two weeks, coming up on three. but you can have a beer and tell me the stories //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/laugh.gif.48439b2acf2cfca21620f01e7f77d1e4.gif

anyways, I guess I'm gonna try and do some sh1t, I'm tired of sitting around mopping about. Thanks for all the support guys, it means a lot to me.
i agree, its hard not to blame yourself, expecially when everything is still fresh. how about you come to tulsa and i'll buy you a dr pepper. mabe you could help me hook up the system in the new car. anyways, let me know.

Indeed.
Not having cable isn't so bad really. I stay out until dark anyway...and spend about 30 minutes a day. Instead of something interesting, I am watching Andy Griffen. If I buy a new TV for the bedroom, I will get a new antenna. Mine can't pick up that many channels....I can't watch the news.
i dont have cable, i occasionally watch the news to find out about the weather, thats about it. so long as i have internet, i dont need anything else. I can d/l one of the 2 or 3 shows i enjoy watching if they are not on local channels.
