100th MONKEY THOUGHTS CONTINUED

I have never figured out whether the 100th monkey story was really true
or if it is just an urban legend. But, if you look at everything from
hula hoops to ipods, there has to be some meat and potatos to the story.

Right now, what are our brains getting filled with when we see the
movies that we do and when we watch the things on TV that we do. I
wonder how many Americans, myself included, would stop having the weight
problems that they do, if they wouldn't see all the advertisements on
TV. I wonder if there is a country in the world that has supermarkets
as big as we do (if you know please comment). I know in Japan they do
not, and, though they use MSG a lot, they eat a lot of fresh food. My
mind is now walking down the aisles and Rainbow Food, for example. What
percentage of what is there is food that we don't need and fast foods,
at least a third.

I think that all the things we see in the world have an effect on us
and add up, even if the 100th monkey story is urban level. If not,
let's throw out all the psychology books. I think the more we study
things like Quantum physics the more we come to an understanding that
Urban Legend or not the 100th Monkey story has some truth. That phrase
about a butterfly flapping its wings in China having an affect on the
weather here may be another urban myth, but it rings with some truth.

Truth Or Consequencies

I wrote this essay as a comment to articles on the following site: http://www.becker-posner-blog.com/archives/2007/02/ One might not think so, but there is a relationship, between trans fat, global warming and the drunk driving issue. Unfortunately, I think that the problem has to do with education. These days in school, we are so afraid to step on someone's toes, so we avoid teaching morals in school, and why should we? Are you shocked? Read further. It has always seemed quite interesting to me that no one can come up with a simple means to start teaching community, integrity, self responsibility and the like to young children from their very first textbooks. I don't see that the word God has to be in there or in order to do that. All great religions teach a core of values that cross borders. There are values that are there in the constitution and the creation of America . By the way, a constitution created by people (whether or not you want to call it a dem...

So My Thoughts and Questions Are These

How long are we willing to keep looking at the differences between each other for the sake of disagreement, power and being right, whether it is easy to admit that we are doing that or not? How long are we willing to pretend that things around us are not happening, when they are, because we don't want to admit our fears, vulnerability and recognize that we are not sure what to do about things, so that we can start to face what we need to face as a nation and in the world? How long are we willing to turn away from the interconnectedness between things? How long are we willing to fight the same battles over and over again from one place to the next, while the same money could feed the poor, educate the world and preserve the economy? How long are we willing to keep seeing the problem as something separate from us? How long are we willing to keep fighting battles that are centuries old? How is that we have our federal taxes go to war, the infrastructure, and all the other things that...
