I know that's why I laugh at so many of the spoiled posts in this forum, much like I'd expect a mother to laugh at her kid throwing a tantrum over not getting a gaming system. Silly gooses! Clearly they've never driven through Krainz Woods or Brightmoor because had they done they would never complain about a single thing. Everyone here is so spoiled and so all about their own agenda. My household growing up never topped over $10,000 yearly and we weren't on handouts once, it would have been dishonorable to us. $10,000 a year was a lot of money to me growing up because there was so much SACRIFICE (capitalized to signify the fact that most American's have no idea what that actually means) on the part of my mom that I didn't realize we were poor until I got older.
But now I'm going off on a tangent a little .
And don't think I'm saying JUST settle, where YOU can improve things in your lives and in the lives of others...do it! But when it's forcefully at the expense or freedoms of others, your freedoms and needs shouldn't matter at that point. I don't think it's right the government does it, I'm not even condoning this whole thing with cell phones, I realize it's a scratch on the surface of something probably deeper. But my whole point with people being TOO paranoid is just that: there has to be a line somewhere. You can't be so paranoid that you don't walk outside. My grandma misses a bunch of plays and concerts in Detroit because she's afraid that second she steps over 8 Mile that twenty black people (she's old fashioned, so yeah she is lite-racist, she's like 80) are going to jump out from the bushes and shoot her dead at once. She thinks this because she watches the news. So she sits in her house now, she's always afraid to go certain places, and I understand that because she's a little older but she is TOO PARANOID.
Paranoia to the point where it hinders your life or forces you to change the way you think or operate is the TRUE enemy. Paranoia is the modern terrorist that we really have to keep our eyes on, and the nation sending in the paranoia-troops to take ourselves out is us.
