General Discussion

I have been shaking and otherwise having a major panic attack from the fact that we may have been scammed over a place to live. I am still trying not to pay much attention to the pain in my stomach (probably an ulcer) nor the pain in my chest (there is no 'probably' about that one). Mainly since I can't do much about either of them anyway. Just life in these United States.

Firstly, I wish to correct what I feel is a misunderstanding. When I said that those who will suffer will do so because they are involved with the system that causes the suffering, I am saying that the suffering comes from the system and therefore that system needs to be removed. We will all suffer, because we cannot remove ourselves from that system because the is no other system to move to. That level of dependency is what creates the suffering because we cannot live without 'playing the game', so to speak. If one is not prone to doing well in the game, one has no other options. That needs to change. I was not saying that those who participate in the system are to blame for causing the suffering. (Although there are some who do fit that description.)

I am afraid I don't see much preaching', other than saying that this system is too far gone, that it is the main cause of the suffering we see on a daily basis, and needs to be replaced. I will say that until the day I die or things change. As far as the rest, well I am afraid I don't see your implications without more specific references.

I will close with this. If you are aware of someone who lives in the US, is capable of not only surviving but managing a decent life here, and does not play the capitalist game. I would sure like to hear about that person. Because our system does not allow anything else.

Which is my first problem with it.

It still boils down to what you hold more dear in your heart... human beings or material wealth. You may not have seen what I have seen and you may not have had the same experiences in life that I have, but based on my observations, it looks like the current society has made its choice in regards to that dilemma. Otherwise, we would no have a single person suffering in this country, nor a single homeless one, nor one who does not have a reason to live other than supporting someone else's good life.
