Remember when gas was only 55 cents a litre? You could buy penny candy for a penny. It really wasn't that long ago. Seriously...I'm not that old.
I remember watching "Running Man". The scene where the two women are in the hallway buying a coke from the vending machine, and the price was $12.00. I thought "WOW! That'll never happen". But now that I really think about it, maybe it will.
Prices of everything keep going up and up and up. Minimum wage goes up, salaries increase to stay on the level with the rising cost of living. And for what?
I'm not going to pretend to understand all the intricacies of the global economy, but from a birds eye view...it all seems like a huge game that the world is trapped into playing. It kinda seems pointless. The more you make, the more they take.
I think we should just go back to the barter system. Raise chickens and trade them for dental services and toilet paper. You scratch my back, I'll scratch yours.
I suppose the only problem with that would be the horribly greedy, conniving, lying, murderous species that we are. I guess without government regulations controlling our economic ways, we'd all just go crazy and kill each other. It would spin out of control and all hell would break loose as wars begin and people become victimized by thieves and thugs.
....Wait.
Maybe it wouldn't be so different after all. The end result would be the same. The way we do it now is just slower.
I can't help but sit in moments of quiet reflection and think about Leah and what her world is going to be like. I feel for her. I'm not optimistic about the capabilities of humankind. We are physically capable, and there are some who are mentally capable as well, to change the destructive direction in which we are hurling ourselves. But individually, we are too weak to change anything. We are, collectively, not smart enough and not disciplined enough to stop this tidal wave upon which we are helplessly being swept. We are creatures of habit and those habits are not easily broken. Most would rather delude themselves right into the grave than face the possibility of having to park their car and use public transit to save the environment.
Well, it's obvious that I believe that there's a problem now, but the world is just too set in their ways to change it. At least my way, there would be more chickens. And in a world like ours, you can never have too many of those. :)

Oh feed my ego. FEED IT!!!
Leo
You're in fine form these days. The stars feed your fire with efficient fuels. You can't stop smiling. The people who are generally on the same page with you can't even keep up, try as they might. But you don't get any resentment around this, only best wishes. They love you no matter what you do. This is a lot like fame, but without the ever-present paparazzi and the gossip.
