I'm with you Mr. AL. the apathy is saddening.
when i try to talk about this stuff 4 times out of 5 people say
"i'm not interested"
"i don't like politics"
etc.
people get angry when i say thing like
"your lack of interest is going to ruin your children's lives"
or
"your apathy makes you part of the problem"
both true but some people would rather cuss me out than take 2 hours away from the boob tube and take an honest look.
i think it's kind of like sushi in the way that you either love it or you hate it.
some people look at the raw fish go "eeew" and turn up their noses.
well anyways, keep fighting the good fight, I'm with you bro. our numbers are growing (despite what zappa thinks.)

People, even very smart people, are just not prepared for the paradigm shift that is coming. They won't change their minds until circumstances force them to. They have grown up with the present system and we seem to have gotten along well until now with it- that is until you dig a little deeper into the news.
If you only read the mainstream financial press or watch CNBC, which is basically a cheerleader for the markets..one which utterly failed to warn investors of the present crisis btw, you won't get it. These outlets have helped create a "group think" mentality amongst the public. They have a huge blind spot in their collective vision and only a major crisis, and I'm talking bigger than what we've seen so far, will dissuade them from it.
The present economic and monetary system is dead. It's not coming back, now now..not ever. It simply does not mesh with the reality of an overpopulated world with rapidly depleting resources. The harder we try to hang onto the present system the more catastrophic will be its final collapse.
