DVD

i just bought one

a DVD that is

War Made Easy

and joined
in a screening

but this whole
DVD thing
got me thinking
about the amount of
money wasted
(my opinion only)
on
the purchase
of DVD seasons
of TV shows

not only do they have
the American
populous
watching new shows
with new seasons
and new cliff hangers

but people also pay,
sometimes
hundreds of dollars,
for 'old' TV shows

just to have them
and maybe one
day watch
them
when they have time
and aren't watching
the new stuff
???

is this
an Alzheimer's
generation
of people
???

you mean
you
can't remember
how that season
of
(pick a tv show)
ended
??

and bottom line for
me

was it really
that
important
to give
your hard earned cash
out to some media executive
so they can go to Maui??

geeze, if it were
me
I'd rather save
all them dollars
and go to Maui myself!!

solutions

ok

i know
i've said on
numerous
occasions

that

people are draining their
brains
watching tv
and it
is
what i think
is
the number one
reason
for apathy
in America

ok
here's a solution
(besides
blowing up
all those
stations)

a bit of history first

at lunch
i sit
by myself
and watch people

and one thing
that zonked me
on the head
today

was
the
lack of touching
of intimacy
between Americans

even people who walked together
were not holding
hands
or even looking at each other

and i got to thinking
our media portrays
sex
all over the place

but nothing about intimacy

we have a generation
or two
of people
growing up
in front
of the boob-tube
that
know nothing
about intimacy
the coming together
as people
the
finding of commonality

touching skin to skin
means sex
in this America

~so the solution?~

to touch

to touch everyone
we meet

and say hi
look in their eyes
smile
and touch their arm

make that connection
talk
laugh
cry
interact

so people
won' t have a
need to go home
and turn on their
tv

for intimacy

peace people

local law enforcement

well last
weekend

i got a notice from
my local law enforcement

asking me to log onto
their web site
and sign up
for

email alerts

humm

now i'm not
normally a
suspicious
person

but the notice
got me thinking

so i re-read it

and three times in bold
it asked me to
go
now
and
sign up!

i asked myself
why?

why the pressure?

why would i need
their services
in email
none the less??

and then it
dawned on me

there is no way
now
to connect
email addresses to
physical addresses

but if we all signed up
for these
much
needed
free
absolutely
have to have
notifications

the powers
to be
would have
that connection

peace people!!
