Why do pharmaceutical companies put products on the market that kill people? How do food manufacturers sell food that is harmful to us? How do they get away with all of this? I don't understand how someone could be so evil that they knowingly produce something that will inevitably kill of thousands, maybe millions of people? Why isn't everything grown organically? It doesn't make sense. Why, if organic is the best and isn't full of harmful chemicals, isn't that the only standard? How can people manufacture food they know is full of toxic substances?
Why do we abuse drugs so much? I'm not talking about illegal drugs either. I'm talking about the stuff available at your own local pharmacy. Our world has become so obsessed with antibacterial this and antibiotic that, that we have huge pandemics. That bacteria has learned how to mutate and resist the penicillin we insist on taking every time we get a scratchy throat. It makes me so sad because we've done this to ourselves. We have no one else to blame. We can't blame the bacteria because we gave it a small dose of antibiotics, not enough to kill it, and it learned how to fight it. Much like our immune systems are supposed to do. Get a little virus, make antibodies to fight it and become immune. Thats how are body is supposed to work. Instead we bombard it with unnecessary chemicals and prevent it from doing its job. Guess what people? Bacteria wins. It will take over eventually because we don't listen. We don't take care of ourselves because we've become so dependent on drugs to do it for us. Its pathetic. I'm ashamed of all of us. Who let this happen? Why? Who controls all of this?
The government. Lets face it people, our government is corrupt. And I'm not talking about Obama for all of you liberals out there getting ready to get your panties in a twist. I mean, seriously, he's merely a puppet for the bigger players. The people that no one hears about. Our president is simply a mouthpiece, sent out to be the scapegoat for the real dictators. Same as Bush was. The only difference is that Obama speaks well. So did Hitler. Its not their fault. Republican, Democrat. Who cares. It doesn't matter. The real question is, when will it all stop? I was driving in the car today, thinking about all of this and a song came on the radio. It was John Mayer "Waiting on the World to Change." Right at that very moment. It was almost like God was saying, "I hear you and I'm sad too." So I started to really listen to the lyrics and one part stood out to me. "We trust the television, what we get is what we got. But when they own the information, they can bend it all they want." That couldn't be more true. Don't believe the hype you hear on tv people. Its very biased and we only hear what "they" want us to hear. And they deceive us all. I never used to care about any of this. But I'm a mother now. I see the future in my daughter's eyes. What kind of world are we creating for her and all of the other children? We live in a world where we hate, lie, steal, cheat and kill. Yes, there are many wonderful things in life too. But turn on the tv and you tell me what you hear. The good, or the bad. When will it all stop? When will I get the chance to tell my daughter that this world we live in isn't corrupt? Sadly, the answer is never. My husband has been trying to get me to see all of this for a long time. And it used to annoy me. Not because I thought he was crazy or a conspiracy theorist or just someone who believed what anybody would tell him. It was because, deep down, I didn't want to believe it. I wanted to live in my ignorant bubble of bliss and pretend that the world was good, and our food wasn't poisoned and our government wanted the best for all of us and that medicine was to help us feel better. I owe you an apology, honey. You've been right all along. I just didn't want to see it. It scares me to raise kids in this world. But I know that what we teach them will be the truth. And I know that our faith in God will help shield us from the evil. For anyone who reads this who has kids, will have kids, or has kids that they love in their life, think about what kind of world we are leaving behind for them. And lets all do our part to make it better. God Bless.
