Mad Visionary

We pride ourselves on our individuality, but have lost it. We have been tricked into thinking we are making our own choices by a system that does not value the free-thinker. It does not value an informed choice. It only values the illusion of these things.

We have allowed this system, that only cares about the bottom line, to infiltrate and corrupt everything in American culture. So much has been compromised in the name of progress. Our values; ethical, moral, ideological, political, social and even aesthetic, have been taught to us not through our parents and experiences, but through subversive, pervasive and potent advertising. Even the industries you wouldn’t think of. The things that cover your basic needs as living beings. Nourishment, shelter, clothing, medical care. All part of this system.

This system has made you an invalid. Robbed you of your ability to survive without it. It took away your independence several generations ago. You can no longer survive off your land. You don’t remember how to build a house or make your own clothing. And if it requires more than a band-aid you go to a trained specialist.

What, too extreme? You have neither a want or need for such things as living off the land.

Think of it on a smaller scale. Could you live without your microwave? Your washing machine? Your TV? Better yet, could you live without Target or Burger King?

Think of it on a larger scale. What do we make here in America for ourselves? We used to be producers of goods, now we are merely consumers of goods. America produces VERY little. We consume plenty and all of it coming from China, India, Pakistan, Indonesia, Taiwan… We have become so lazy and inefficient in the things we do produce those industries are failing. Our steel industry is failing. Our auto industry is failing.  Our farmers are failing. All of these things would have already failed except the government has not allowed it. So, much for being free.
