I have a hard time with this terrorist shtuff.was it a process of our
country loosing it's respect ?respect and fear are two closely related
emotion's. but our country gained a measure of respect during
desert storm,? didn't it?..well, yes,.. it did ,but, it also gained a few
enemies. I don't want to talk about the enemies, I want to talk about us.

  Our country, our spoilt little natures, maybe talk about the process that
lead's way to this disrespect..

  Several year's ago a study was conducted on a hog farm. One set
of pig's was allowed to wallow in the shit the other's weren't.Farmer's
wanted to find out if it made any difference weather the pig's liked the
crap or not.Intially there was no difference .but as the tests wore on
several factor's were revealed
#1. Hog's kept in the clean pen's had better average weight.
#2 In a variation of the test Hog's that were returned to the crap lost
weight,became aggressive ,then adapted to the normal order.
#3 In another variation of the test, hog's that were kept in the crap were 
released in the clean pen's only to find no substantial difference in
average weight,or behavior.

what does this test tell you?it tell's you to keep a clean pen if
your a pig farmer, but I look at it in light of the scientific fact that pig's
and human's are closely related [I've known several more closely -
-related than I'd care to guess]..what I see is an example of our own
natures ,relating the crap to "dirty object's of society" you can fill your
own blank in here.weather vice, drug's, crime you name it.
if you throw "evil" at another person they'll protest "evil=crap"
if your living in it, you'll protest for awhile, but sooner or later it will
become the norm and you'll tolerate it.. this is as averages go.
pig's are average, people are, [on the other hand] not. but, as the
quote goes.    ;
“Insanity in individuals is something rare – but in groups, parties,
  nations and epochs, it is the rule.” – Friedrich Nietzsche

  Now to the jist, we as American's, in my opinion, have in many way's
"lived in the crap" too long.Oh, were used to it, comfortable with it, hardly
know it's there.....but I tell you it is there on each of us. singularly & collectively
as a nation, we have covered ourselves in evil. Now, as to the definition
of this "evil", I can only say that each person knows him/herself 's own
idea of it personally. Collectively, I'd say beware when you start to call
good evil and evil good. Our society does this in way's none of us can
totally comprehend ,but, the spiritual side that 'little' voice inside each of us
affirms that fact that there's something about our society today collectively
that's just throwing it right off into the dumpster. I shall label this with my
personal stigma "lack o' respect"....I herd Rush Limbaugh talk about it ,
oh of course with his firmly estauched conservative slant he spoke of it.
what I call it, and I've never herd this term before,  is "social entropy"
I'm not relating this to anarchy yet that would be the end scenario.
What I refer to here is the noncomonality of peoples, there inability to be a
sociable person without insult. Let me give an example.
  Last week I'd been spending some time in yahoo voice chat just checking
it out, I hardly said a word because of some of the weird peep's in the
room whom obviously thought I was a weirdo to,yet during one of the
discourses[voice] I accidentally stepped on a sound bite of a bong hit
[what I'm finding out is a cardinal sin]...no sooner do I apologize than I'm
booted from the server and when I do renter the chat, I'm de-opt voice.
needless to say I wont be back there, not only for that particular instance
but, also for the fact that it was a very difficult room for me to tolerate
personally, the reason simply being every other word out of the type and
the speaker's was F-CK or shut the F--- up Be-och, cuss cuss cuss add infinium..
I use fowl language here as the analogy to "crap"   if you ever get over to
@@WEEDSMOKER'SLOUNGE@@  on yahoo, be sure you tell them
there "swimming in da caca" for me ..a very small example of the very
large problem this country faces like I said ;
What I refer to here is the noncomonality of peoples, there inability to be a
sociable person without insult. overtly defensive. distastefully rude.
profuse vulgarity through copious use of profanity.  sometimes I think it's
hog shit  but then I also think I'm getting used to it.. No, No, no damit.
I refuse to. I'm not a pig.
