 The event JHK describes is very much what used to be considered a community gathering. The comparison he draws with today’s venues for such events is spot on. Not that many years ago people gathered for conversation and celebration in venues that were warm and welcoming. People spent many hours dressing up these halls and preparing meals, they did it because they enjoyed the company of their neighbors. You obviously can’t stand such close personal interaction. This is your personal problem, not that of everyone else on the planet.
You seem to have a love for the cold and technical world we live in today. You would rather not meet in person and if forced to do so would prefer the cold cookie cutter room, and it better have overhead sprinklers and carpets made of toxic fibers. Since the 50’s and 60’s we’ve made many advances in science and medicine but are we really any better off? Science has given us GMO garbage for food and we’re living shorter lives than our grandparents did without the benefit of our advanced medicines. We have all the electronic gizmo’s any one can desire and all the stress that comes with this technology. Science has given us government departments that are telling us that the food we grow in our gardens isn’t fit to eat. Advancements in medicine has given us a whole generation of zombie kids loaded up with Ritalin and hooked on video games. Their ability to use their imagination has vanished, playing outside with other kids is too scary. Parents are zoned out on Prozac walking around with stupid grins on their face while not being able to function at an adult level. Today’s parents seek help from ‘professionals’ for everything from child parenting to how they handle stress because they’ll have to use credit, money they don’t have, to buy that pair of red open toed shoes. In the old days parents turned to other parents if they needed advice on kids, if you couldn’t afford the new shoe’s you didn’t buy them. In the old days when kids did something they were told not to they got a swat on the back side, today liberal morons tell us that it’s better to not use corporal punishment and let the kids grow up to be drug addicts and criminals. New medications have proved to be counterproductive as we now have super bugs that all these wonderful new drugs can’t touch, yet we never suffered from these super bugs in the old days. Today we have communities of people that don’t know even their neighbors name. Kids’ spend hours socializing on Facebook and chat rooms, technology has given us free porn for everyone, no matter the persons age.
In the ‘good old days’ people took responsibility for themselves and their actions, today we have a legal system that thrives on personal law suits. Businesses can’t afford to pay the insurance premiums needed to cover the ignorance of the people they expect to serve. The cost of all this litigation to new advanced medicine and our whole health care system is through the roof because of law suits, people can’t be bothered to read the label on the medication they take so it has to be someone else’s fault.
But wait, there is one thing that can save us from all of these bad advancements, it’s the government. Surely they will set up regulations telling us that we must be more social in person, take responsibility for ourselves, and teach our kids how to behave by ourselves. This is the world of Jim C. Big government dictating our every move, what we eat, who we talk to, what we watch, how we play and using technology to ensure we comply. If we don’t, well that’s that Fusion centers are for.
As usual Jim, your comment on reeks of the hatred you possess for JHK. You are also, as usual completely wrong. This is one of the least offensive articles he’s authored. He was almost upbeat throughout. This just goes one step further to show that you post with no real purpose other than to slander.
If you grew up not liking the way things were when you were a kid then tough noogies. It was a better, cleaner, safer, healthier life so don’t begrudge anyone that want’s to share with others why the good old days were good, even without overhead sprinklers.
