AE# 4 The Living Dead

    Appalled at all that I see in this nation. From things so big as global warming and the treatment of others to the food we feed our people. Sustainable farming has always been my personal dream. When I ask my friends what they want to do: all of them would direct their lives in the form of MONEY. I would say that choosing a life in sustainable farming is not a field of dollar bills but my quality will be in life and health. 

    Our society has developed our country with our eyes set on money as power instead of a true or hopeful goal as the means of power. I love when I hear people say others are "sell outs," to me anyone shopping at Walmart is a "sell out." I myself feel like I have to shop at Walmart because it is closest to my house, and I only have to go to one place. This is the same feeling we all feel or else Walmart would be dead.

   It is sad that we as the people of America are just trying to live our lives and save money so we can pay our bills and pay for gas to get to work to have the money to pay for life. We set up our society on the dependence of a paper object. Yuck. What is even worse is we know this and we continue to dig deeper and deeper. We could be digging deeper into fertile soil and living the way nature intended us to live. 

    Nature supplies all of our needs. Have we ever thought of it that way? Nature supplies an organism to treat and cure every possible problem. We have created our own unnatural problems and rely on what to treat these problems? Nature, but how is nature supposed to treat a problem it didn't make? We wonder why our world is deteriorating but we fail to realize we created our damnation.

    I think there is a bigger picture and instead of accepting our faults and tearing down nuclear power plants and instead of relying on what nature has already given us: to lead a life of good air, good food, and good fellowship, we continue to ruin our future lives for the DOLLA DOLLA BILL!!!!

    This problem is hundreds of years old and we now have more technology than ever before and the capability of communicating across the world to fix our problems, but cannot decide on something to do? I know why Native Americans were so quick to die for the land they inhabited, because they knew that if WASPS took it over it was better to be dead, than live with the cancers and unhealthy air cycling through our bodies: making us the living dead.
