    One major reason things don't go over so well these days with the public as far as music to get them motivated is that so many more people are locked into jobs they can't feel good about, and they drink too much alcohol. Then, they only want to listen to and buy music that's easy on them and doesn't make them think too hard. After that even, they don't have time, energy or the necessary resources to help so they simply say it's what is and it's the american way, and I don't have a choice, and you're never gonna get it to change, and they go along on in their pessimism. In the 60's and 70's, there was hope for change alot because it wasn't as bad then as it is now. Mostly the peace movements back then were for ending the war, the other things like conservation and corporate greed were in the workings, but were'nt pushed real hard because they weren't such large problems as they are today. I recentely went to a free movie put on by the local alliance for animals which shocked me into tears, the way agricultural animals are (half) killed before slaughter and the living conditions for when they are alive. This is one example of corporate greed at work. It starts with a farmer with an idea to make alot of money with comparitively little. Then, he's locked into it, even after he sees the modern money saving techniques at work torturing his animals, even though he didn't know that, although the processes appear painless or relatively low when he buys them, the manner in which they are applied has more to do with it, and, done sloppily, the animals suffer, but the farmer has no choice but to continue, or he'll starve himself and his family. And everyone else along the way from his stock pile to your table, has a job, and who can quit their job because they don't like it? This is a shocking and rude example, but the fact is it's how it occurs. It's the same with inorganic farming of vegetation, plastics companies, etc. Just about every person that has a job is destroying the perfect idea of an economy and the environment, because it all ties together, in an omnivour's world of stupid, disgracefull succumption to inferiority.


    In the perfect idea of an economy, we all know that supply and demand is what makes an economy work (whether it is in the best interest of the live beings on this planet or not), and thus a perfect one would be BY LAW buying only what is necessary and good for the planet and ALL the inhabitants thereof. For example, an alcohol-based gasoline for your car, instead of petro--a plant-based oil product instead of oil drilled from deep within the earth's surface. This planet is shrinking, and, just like a hard boiled egg won't spin, this planet will eventually stop turning if changes aren't MADE INTO LAW soon. And it's not that it CAN'T happen, it's that change so vast either frightens most people into thinking their going to staarve or lose their house, or, it is simpply too large of a change for them to fathom, but it is what is necessary, and, we do live in cities, nobody's going to starve. The answer is alot easier than it appears, save trucking for the absolutely necessities--bringing supplies to feed, house, clothe and keep clean all persons, belongings (clothes), and places. Even living indoors is not an absolute necessity, except for safety reasons. I lived in my car for close to a year, and I learned most of my most basic survival skills then.

    So it is not so difficult to see why so many young people say "I wish it were the 70's again". It was not so hard a world to live in then, and the need for change and public awareness was not so drastically immediate.
