How do you choose what's right and what to focus on in a wolrd of so much noise? It's no wonder there is such anxiety in the world and such confusion when voting. What's your approach?

meditatition.

[InfiniteNow]

Thanks Tarantism... that is a very good approach indeed. I used to meditate all the time, but have fallen out of the habit as of late...


Anyone else? Is it important to be aware of the above type issues, or is it silly to disregard them? Is it silly to be aware of them and important to disregard them?

Just feeling like our 24 hour news cycle is preventing appropriate reflection on the current events for many... but don't know it that's accurate.

Nothing simplifies life as well as the "Hokey Pokey". After all, that's what its all about.

So basically you're saying that sex is how you take your mind off the ails of the world? That's a good plan...

WOW!! That would be cool too. I was thinking of the dance...

You put your left foot in
You put your left foot out
You put your left foot in
and you shake it all about
You do the Hokey Pokey
and you turn yourself about
That's what its all about!

Right foot!

You put your....

Shannon never lets me mix that song with actual Hokey Pokeying

i dont trust the news one bit. all propaganda. left wing, right wing, its just two sides to the same coin. all working for the same power. i say we need a revolution, but hey, you may not agree.

we should work as a race not as countries.

[InfiniteNow]

Revolution is always occuring... it just may not be the kind that we want personally.

We should work as one planet... one solar system... one galaxy... one supercluster... one universe...

... as ONE.

But yeah, not as countries too.

[TheBigDog]

Hang on now! What is wrong with countries? What is wrong with recognition of small groups? Or association with others by geographic or other means? From a government perspective you cannot have a single central world entity, which means you have localized governments at multiple levels in any system to address local issues and allow diversity in how people choose to be governed. Just saying you want to do away with countries fails to take into account what those countries provide.
