Bio
I am neither a leader nor a follower, just a philosopher. I make a living as a scientist, but my other interests include politics, history, economy, literature, psychology, and so on... Most of the time though, I just like to wonder why people do the things they do.

If everyone was like me... or I can dream

Rate: 0 Flag

It's Sunday afternoon, and I find myself in a state of self reflection. Am I doing what I am supposed to be doing? Is there some other place I am supposed to be? Am I just hopelessly weird?

In my narcissistic self-analysis I have arrived at a conclusion that  if everyone was like me, this country as we know it, would probably collapse. Here are just a few things that would get messed up:

    • No one would sign up for military. No offense to anyone, but I don't get that one. You got one life, why spend it as a cannon fodder?
    • Sarah Palin would not sell a single copy of her book.  She wants money, but why would you give it to her? If I really was that interested in what she had to say, I'd read a few pages of it at a bookstore.
    • Bloggers would not make any money, since I never click on ads. Well, okay, once in a while my mouse slips. (I don't mind when someone clicks on mine, lol. Not everyone is like me, anyway.)
    • Cosmo and all other similar trash magazines would go out of business. I still don't get why people buy them.
    • Houses would be cheap, because no one would buy a house unless it was a good deal. Why be a debt slave?
    • McDonald's would go out of business. Why eat that crap?
    • Infomercials wouldn't make any money. Who watches that stuff, anyway?
    • Organized churches would disappear. Don't feel like explaining that one right now though.
    • Credit card companies wouldn't make money, cause no one would use them.
    • Urban sprawl would not exist because people would prefer living in towns and cities where they can walk everywhere.

       Oh and I can go on and on. But I know I am just weird, and this country is still here cause not everyone is like me.
