world view

be certain that if you are sensitive to foreign substances entering your body, you will be awake at a quarter to four if you drink coffee at 11 pm and continue doing so....

my head is full of thoughts. I long to communicate with the world at large. I want my world view to be challenged - in a friendly way. I am not looking for an argument, rather an expanded view on the world.

like, what do people in india think about labor being outsourced to their country because it is cheaper to pay for labor in india than it is in most parts of the world. or what do the chinese feel about living in the most populated part of the world and being viewed as a “potential threat” should the “world” go to war?

all I can do is speak for myself as an american. what is my voice worth anyway? what does the world really think of americans? do most people think the people who live in america agree with what its government is doing? do most people think that the government acts on its own accord? what does the “democracy” of america mean to the rest of the world?

I am starting to feel, in a general sense, that people (as nations, cities and communities) are being widdled down to individuals. that we are beginning to realize our part or place in the whole of things.... how cool is that?

hmmm .... would be even cooler if I knew if that was true. lol
