But sometimes we can also weed through the BS and just grab the good. When my appendixes bust this past summer, I was sure glad when I got to the Hospital, that they had that wonder drug called Morphine. I would have hated to go through the trouble to find and smoke some opium or Crack to get rid of the pain. I just had a thought maybe Heroin was what I should have been looking for. Excuse me for taking the Morphine! I think Ode is saying if we don't like something, get off our ass and do something about it. Action is where's it's at and words (crying) is NOT ACTION it is talk and talk is cheap. I find many can talk a good game but fall far short when it comes to action. Words have little meaning to me if there is no ACTION and far to many people like to use words without action. Someone else said the FDA banned raw milk. FDA sucks, but stop the crying for a few minutes and go to a Diray framer and go get some. If you want milk you can get milk, get in your car drive to a farm and get some. That is taking ACTION and that is being resonable for one own actions! Does it suck that we have to go to them lenghts, it sure does. But until you've done it, your just farting into the wind sort of speak. Is the farm to far (sob,sob poor me) well form a pool or a co-op, get a few people together and take turns going to get it. If you want it, you can get it!! How bad do you want it!! If you won't go the distance to get it, then you lose the right to cry about it (in my book). But if you go to the lenghts to get it, then you have earned the right to cry about it and can yell to the highest office (good luck). Most I find like to cry but won't go the lenghts to get something done. Just because we want the milk from the cow doesn't mean we have to be lead like cattle. Many here have chossen a different path then the norm, but the path at times leads uphill. I believe in looking for the good in most things and I sure as hell would hate to see things if there was not some sort of control, as corrupt as they can be. If they weren't there, every crack pot would be selling their snake oil miracule cure on every conner. Ever wonder why our life expetdentcy is alot more now than it was a 100 years ago. Think about that for a minute. For me it's about finding Balance. Do I like Big Parma or the FDA, NO!! But I will steal some of the good they have done and I will also serach out in all other areas and take what I believe to be useful and dispose of the rest or leave it for another look some other day. My key is to find a Balance out there. There are many Truths out there but no one Truth.
