LearnToLoveMe

The hope I have for myself is to make a positive difference in people's lives any way I can. Right now the only way I have is through my writing, that no one reads. All my ideas are, in some way or another, to help others or the environment. With that in mind...

Larger corporations need to take more responsibility for the environment because they out live us all and take advantage of that fact every way they can. Like, not paying people for their ideas when all they have to do is wait for that person to die. This is unacceptable and illegal. No one should be cut out of profiting from their idea simply because they won't live long enough. Is it right for these companies to profit from low income and/or uneducated people? In my opinion "NO"! It is not right because these are the very people that are on welfare or assistance of some kind that all of society pays for. The companies get to profit but not the communities that supported them. Once again humans decided that we are the keepers of not only our bothers but our past as well.

The real keeper of society's past and the decisions made to protect it is; water, the absolute and pure keeper of humanity and its evolution. Water, is a huge computer with only one algorithm; life. A record of our past so we can evolve to a better future. My ex-boyfriend, Blue, put it best when he told me that the planet is round(this I know) and all the water on it has always been here and will continue to be the same water that our ancestors drank and bathed in. Water is the most powerful substance on the planet, if you ask me. What it does is amazing and the fact that it can take on many forms moving easily from one to another if we apply a little chemistry.

Without water we would not exist, no life would exist. Let me put it a little differently, without pure water we would all die. Pure water is the greatest secret that lives and/or exists all around us, in bottles. Osmosis is a natural, magical event that separates water from salt. Salt; aka; the devil. Salt is all bad yet it is so delicious and makes other tasteless food edible. We may need to hold our breath when we eat some things that we absolutely need but can't stomach.

We need to stop taking nature so personally. The weather isn't occurring to piss us off. These are natural events that science has explained long ago. Yet, at this time I must point out how people have changed their position on certain facts since I have spoken out. Not to take away from anyone, all I hope to do is stir the pot. My only hope is to at least bring attention to kids aging out of the foster care system and how slim their chances are for success unless communities come together and give them the tools they will need to succeed. Maybe 'give' isn't the right word. They need to know how to create these tools for themselves, out of nothing. Maybe they have something to teach us.

Like our planet we do not take care of this resource, water, very well or any other for that matter. We are not very responsible people but we will be held accountable, that has finally begun. We have all these great little sayings, old wives tails, if you will but we do not heed their warnings. We remember the words but have forgotten their meaning so what is the point of record keeping? We have all played the whisper game where you pass a message around a circle of people only to have a totally different message by the time it reaches the end. That is why most of these old wives tails rhyme in order to maintain their message and structure. They are less prone to losing their meaning when being handed down from one generation to another. At least that is all I can come up with as to why they maintain while others break down in translation.

What still worries me is that we are going to lose a great deal of our past with the algorithm that goes back in time and changes any and all images to its new look and/or sound. Case in point; birds. The sound that all the birds on the planet made over rode all other noises on the planet until now. The birds are almost all gone and so is their constant chirping including from past movies and advertising. Their chirping is being eliminated from our lives, memory, computer servers, and history. Their images are still their, computer generated as they may be but their songs are slowly vanishing.

We may be living longer but at what cost? You would think that these extra years would allow us the ability to evolve conscientiously. We, like every thing else without natures help will not evolve? We can't because our conscientious can't handle the countless crimes we have committed against ourselves and this planet. Accountability will happen no matter what but knowing why may help prevent it from happening again.

Normally I wouldn't argue with anyone who is more educated and knowledgeable then I but DeGrasse is wrong. We still need philosophers to guide us and science in a direction that doesn't kill us all or morally strips us of our humanity, what little we have left. It is the separation of subjects that has lead us to the point we are at now. When we leave out or diminish the importance of one discipline over another this is what we get; nothing useful. All disciplines are equally important no matter how little or how much is needed of one or another all are necessary to achieve what we must. Scientist should all be philosophers as well as artists and athletes. They all should belong to a local militia and fire department, voluntarily.

Back to the reason for this paper; traffic and pollution. It is irresponsible for companies to schedule all their employees at the same time. This causes so much stress and pollution that isn't necessary. There is a time difference between the west and east coast that equals a huge loss for companies that isn't necessary either. Stagger your employees to come in and leave fifteen to thirty minute intervals. They can start coming in around six o'clock, leaving up until six in the evening. They can even rotate schedules if no one person want to volunteer to do it permanently. If people need a reason just think of all the time saved not having to sit in traffic or wait in line to eat because everyone else is too. If traffic is moving with less cars on the rode at the same time there will be less accidents and truckers will get loads to destination more timely using less gas. It is a win win win! What do you have to lose?

When traffic does get bad due to an accident or something you could allow truckers to use the HOV lanes to help with this problem. We should let them use it now and if we don't stagger our work force because they deserve their own lane when traffic gets bad. I get that car pooling is important but in my opinion truckers deserve the fast lane more. Besides if you ask a trucker any trucker what the number one reason for accidents they will tell you other drivers. That's why a lot of them like to travel late at night or early morning to avoid this hazard.

I have posted these suggestions on my Google blog but think they are worth repeating, not that anyone is reading. Even if they are who would listen to the likes of me? No one really. Maybe I should just let my boyfriend continue to steal my ideas, at least then they are heard. No one wants to listen to me because I'm a woman, I'm blonde, I'm an orphan, I'm cute, I cannot find my way out of a wet paper bag. I rub people the wrong way. The majority of my adult life has been spent in a drug induced coma. You have no idea how frustrating it is when no one will listen just because it is you talking. They look at you and dismiss you in the same glance, I've seen it more times then the back of my own eyelids. Okay, I'm exaggerating, but you get my meaning or you don't.
