Do you ever feel like a lab rat in a cage? Many years ago, experiments were done with lab rats whereby several rats with plentiful supplies of food and water would live peacefully, side by side. They then added more rats and diminished the supplies of food and water, causing societal disruption and fighting. This is where we are as a species, too many people competing for diminishing resources. Think about that! Our government is owned by corporations, competing with each other for the most dollars, not caring what the consequences are for the average person. We have now privatized our prison system, where there are contracts with government incentives to keep them full. Our pharmaceutical industry is owned by maybe 5 giant corporations, with the incentive to stifle competition and maximize profit, not caring that we have created an epidemic of drug overdoses and death searching for that elusive last dollar! Bayer now controls our food chain! Sinclair is trying to take over our media! Nestle controls a huge percentage of our diminishing water supply! Banks like Goldman Sachs control our monetary system. Fossil fuels companies dominate our energy sector. Our health insurance system is incentivized to deny as many claims as they can to maximize profit. when overall we could provide care for everyone at a lesser cost to society by covering everyone! Our police departments, not all but many, have turned away from community policing to military style policing, where too many are dying from preventable homicides simply because of circumstances or color of their skin. Our cities are falling apart because of lack of funds for major upkeep, so we can give tax breaks to people who don't need them, but demand them. We are entering the age of the lab rats, where you hate your neighbor because YOU did not invite them to join your pack. Where you don't want them taking up your air! We have overpopulated our planet, and we fighting over a finite amount of resources. It must stop before it's too late, if not already. Love to all, may peace be with you! dennismoconnor.com Comments are closed.
