Is it just me or is NO one talking about ANY thing important these days. (The Gulch excluded, of course.) I'm starting to pay attention to those around me....really pay attention and what I'm seeing is ....well....nothing. I see nothing. No spark.

Today I brought up the situation in Cypress with a co worker and mid-sentence she whipped out her cell phone and showed me a picture of her new puppy. Occasionally I will get some "No kidding", or an "I know!" when I say some of the things I say (about current events/news etc), but even THEY never initiate a comment on their own. Why? Are they afraid their opinion will offend someone. Do they even HAVE an opinion?

I rarely forward emails to anyone anymore because even the most intriguing, thought provoking, articles get no response. I'm dumbfounded by this because I CANNOT get enough information...I need more hours in my day to read everything I want to gobble up. The lack of interest, the lack of hearing anyone speak of our country's situation is like a slap in the face.

It seems that everybody but myself is on a constant mission to fit-in, or impress others somehow, ...it's pathetically superficial in my view and holds zero value as a human. Seriously, if they don't value their country, their freedom, their futures, what DO they value? Their new car? The Mall? What?!!!

What say you....
