How Many?

This thread reminds me of a book I've been meaning to read: The Twilight of the American Culture. Thanks gaijin. Anyone read it yet?

How many of you own guns? How many of you think that the right to have a gun loaded is a just one? How many of you feel that the environment is something that isn't important? How many of you shop at Wall-Mart with the low wages it pays it's employees? How many? How come things regarding Western society seem so clear to me yet so many people turn the other way? How many?

Me. Me. No, I hold the environment in higher regard than I hold myself, I am one life, it is millions of lives, and the source of life itself, therefore it is much more important than any of us. I buy clothes at Walmart once a year or so, just because its cheap there.

I do feel the same way you do regarding most of these things, but unfortunately it's how things are, and it will be near impossible to change, unless one of us gets elected president . I always found it hard to turn the other way in the midst of this, but you know, theres not a hell of a lot someone my age can do about it, so I try not to worry about it until I can actually change something.
