As if anybody would take the time to do something "hard" like that. It's so much easier to post flames on liberal/conservative message boards, follow the every move of celebrities, tweet, socially-network, play video games, text message, on and on and on. (Look at me, doing the same thing. lol)

With all that junk, who has the time to seek knowledge out for themselves? The only reason people get an "education" anymore is to get a job that pays a living wage (good luck with that!) If people were to step back for about 23 seconds, they might be able to question why there are so many distractions and why are we so attracted to them. I keep getting the gnawing feeling that something big is on the way and we don't want to see it.

I used to actually talk about philosophy with people who now tweet about their brats and their stupid jobs and whatever technological nonsense they desire to weigh themselves down with. And these are "intelligent", "educated" people. What do stupid people talk about? (If that wasn't a flame invitation then I don't know what constitutes one.)

Hold on tightly to avoid being thrown to the wolves.
