| This is a real warning label! |
DUMBING DOWN AMERICA...
I can't even begin to express my frustration with this! I really don't know why it bothers me so, but it does! I wish I could just let stuff like this go but I just can't wrap my mind around this. I wonder if no one else notices or cares that our country is being dumbed down faster than going through the drive through at McD's. I'm a little bit of a conspiracy theory person, ok ok maybe a big conspiracy theory person. I wish sometimes I could live in what I like to call "the bubble" but once you know something you can't un-know it. My dad used to say that thinking was hard, I didn't really understand exactly what he meant but it's becoming more and more clear.
Did you ever stop to think that the marketing people are doing a great job at keeping us so focused on buying or getting more stuff that we stop thinking for ourselves? It's all about whatever sells...basically it's all about the money! Yes that's right, it's all about the money! So we've become so worried about making the buck that we can no longer think for ourselves? We are too busy working at a job that we probably don't really like to make the buck to buy the crap that we really don't need and it's a vicious cycle. We have become the hamster on the wheel going round and round. Why? Why have we allowed this to happen and why do we allow it to keep happening?
So this little card, that someone had to write and proof and print, is job justification for someone. We have become a society that has to have warning labels on everything! Why? Because we might get hurt? Because we might get sued? Or because we might have to actually think! Oh my, thinking for yourself...now that's a novel concept! This is just the beginning of Dumbing Down America and I'm afraid that it's going at warp speed. Warning labels...really? I'll stop there because I can go on and on and on...this is where you should feel sorry for my hubby for having to listen to me go on and on and on!
