We all want a nice, simply home, with maybe a grass field to play in. We want a lot of space between neighbors. We want fresh air, and clean water. Home cooked bread, and fresh baked cookies. We can all have a greater chance to have these things... but something must be used to slow down the pace of the current wave... neighbors are too close.... their is no grass fields to play in unless its a public park filled with dog sit from irresponsible people... i have a solution...we must spread the solution.... it is... TAH DAH DING DING DING
Fuck this "slow down" shit. Speed it up, let us get to the endpoint which is the only way we might realize the way we are living is a bad idea. That realization isn't going to happen by ruminating in essays, blog posts and books. Humans only react to terror, not words.
I live in an apartment right now. It's convenient. I own about 17 acres of land though and when I'm old and cranky I'll retire there.
I used to hate the idea of living in the country... now, if I had the money, I'd move out into the middle of nowhere. lol
