social change

For those who are not familiar with Ashland Wisconsin, it is the most north you can travel without driving into Lake Superior. The word "small town" some how doesn't begin to explain it.

I am from California, specifically the SF Bay Area. I moved to Wisconsin October of 2008, because I needed to get out of the material rat race. The majority of Californians live a life that is unsustainable. It has become a state that is unfriendly to raising a family, unless you happen to be wealthy; or you want to spend your life in a car in bumper to bumper traffic, to sit at a desk and work like a robot, and then drive home in bumper to bumper traffic.

Things here in Ashland are simple and difficult at the same time. While Ashland is far from ideal, it's a hell of a lot better than continuously going into debt buying food, crossing my fingers I don't get sick, or hit by a car because I'm uninsured, and in debt up to my eyeballs from buying food, gas and medicine.

For MOST of us, our society is broken and we feel the affects everyday. Our government is nothing but ridiculous puppets with the hands of big corporations up their you-know-what. But what is worst, is that people just don't F***ing care. They sit around with their mountain dews, rotting their teeth out, texting on their blackberry-droid-pod, and say, "uh I don know."

Global warming is just something that is a "theory," just like evolution, right? If you believe in the right god, in the end, it doesn't mater. So... go ahead stock up at Wal-mart. Pile your useless crap up outside for the garbage man to take away to some invisible place you've never seen. Out of sight out of mind. Keep telling yourself that you have no other choices. You have to make a living too, right? No one else is going to take care of you. Especially with all those entitlement hungry slouches, flooding the system.

Well, it will all catch up to us sooner or later. Social change may come too late.

Sorry, I'm grouchy.
