Play Station THREE! What's Wrong With America??? [View All]

[ChiciB1]

We've seen this mania now for quite some time now, but yesterday morning I had to get up early and go buy some milk because we had run out. I was struck by the hysteria of talk on the radio about this game! They had requested people to call-in to tell their stories about how they were going to purchase one of them. There were quite a few calls for various places and talk about lines and how long they were waiting and the buzz about "insiders" who has knowledge etc. and I felt strange.

At the time I didn't know exactly what made me feel that way, but today I turned on my TV and because I couldn't stand that creep Tyrell on C-Span I switched channels! It's ALL about THAT game! Is this what we have become? For many many years I have talked about America's need for material things and the negative vibes I have felt about it, but it really hit me VERY VERY hard today!

Thousands and thousands and thousands of people are dying around the world, and in America today so many are falling through the cracks, people can't feed their families or pay the rent! In America!! And yet, the "need" to "have" more "things" still rises to the top!! And what is even more sickening, is that in a year or two you may be able to go to a garage sale and buy the thing for 1/10th of what they paid for it!

Does this bother anyone else as much as it does me?? Call me old fashioned, I AM a Boomer and maybe I just remember playing jacks and hop-scotch and how much fun I had back then. Making a swing out of an old tire or playing on monkey bars. As a nation, IMO we need to reflect a little about this thing, it has bothered me for a very long time, but I feel it's only getting worse as time goes by.
