I'm sure others read the post, but they seem to
be busy with other lines of thinking at the moment.

Now-a-days, there are many - MANY, brujos knocked
unconscious by pop culture, each brujo, outsider,
drop-out waiting with stirring thoughts that build to
anger due to which way society is going. It is the
ignoring of personal ways, the creative juices that
flow uniquely that these individuals find little
support for what they think in hiding. Sometimes they
find a crowd to join, as they walk with pink hair,
nose rings, take drugs, drink at such young ages until
they pass out every weekend. Pop culture says if you
don't think this way, then your a failure and the sign
at the Inn says no vacancy. So, some find themselves
under a bridge, hopping on trains, backpacking
highways, getting with friends and leaving town for
over a month to travel the country, sleeping in the
woods, goin' to the Yukon Territory in Canada, living
from job to job with no lasting career due to loss of
dynamism, the loner in the trench coat in high school,
the drug dealer that is trying to finish out high
school who got slapped yesterday by another male, so,
he body slammed him, they fought, and we had to break
them up, and then he told us he's going to beat that
kid up when he sees him again for his reputation was
hurt, that's all he's got now, reputation, pride, but
that's only in his world of soon to be prison
journeys, and he said he's dropping out, he's had
enough, he can't take school anymore - How do we reach
these people that clearly see that society has no
niche for them!!! How many people vote, and why? I
think I know why, at least why I don't vote.
I want to live in the mountains.

Yes, this culture needs a new mindset.
