alot of people think like sam and frankly its frightening. thats just how "they" want you to think so you can work hard and pay taxes and fill that missing piece with cell phones and $25,000 trucks. which just perpetuates the cycle.

has anyone noticed how kids growing up have this insaitiable need and demand for cell phones and similar products. ive seen a two year old scream his head off until he was crying bloody murder just because he wanted to hold a cell phone and play with it. marketing? or human characteristic? i think its marketing that plays off of a human characteristic. little kids see people on TV and on the streets with cell phones and so they want them because they want to be like those people they see. only they dont know what its like to be those kinds of people so they end up spending their life trying to be something but they dont know whats its like and by the time they do they have accepted that its the only way and give up on what else could be.
i understand what you mean, and agree completly. unfortunately most of people lives so immersed into this way of life to realize what youre saying. most of them will regard you as a dreamer, visionary, or just stoner, instead to realize you are right.
there is a proverb which says "in a land of blindmen who have one eye is king", but i prefer state it as "in a land of blindman who have one eye is crazy, because 'see things'... "
sad but true...

PS. For all the calculators, i dont know if its the answer to the universe, but i can assure 4.20 is the number of the enlightenment, wisdom and knowledge. :rastasmoke:
