Don't know if ppl still read this. Thought I might randomly post some ideas and after watching an unbelievably good doco about Waco (The rules of Engagement by William Gazecki) I felt inspired to share something.
Injustice, corrupt governments, inequality, big business. issues that i admit don't cross my headspace that often, (and when they do, no clue about what it means to me, or what i could do about them) but it just really cheeses me off.
Enron, Waco, Big oil companies, global warming and don't get me started on 9/11 conspiracy theories. Goldman Sachs having to pay $550 million something the other day to settle a civil case in the US. Iraq, Afghanistan, Darfur.
Do these things bother other people, or is everyone just busy heads down bums up trying to make a go of life, and willing to forget these things as the new news about Twilight or Lady Gaga or LBJ becomes the next big thing?
maybe i'll post again soon.

poor old mushie has to listen to all the conspiracy theories at home :)
it would probably bother me if i watched them too, but maybe that's why I don't and prefer to talk about Team Jacob instead.
twi-hard!
There is a difference between dwelling on conspiracy theories and thinking about how to right the inequalities in life.
What is insightful to me is that even though I've had all these thoughts of "doing something charitable" my actions (ie none) speak way louder than words.
So my question to you is, what are you going to do about it?
agree about the whole actions not words/thoughts - but thoughts and pondering by itself can be good i think. esp when actions aren't so easy ...
though re: actions
- Big corporations and corruption: don't invest in stock market?
- Corrupt governments: don't trust the media, informed voting?
- Global warming: recycle, save water
- Wars around the world: avoid career in the army.
