Starting A New Year

Many people think that 2012 will be the end of mankind...
Ok, so that's not so bad for Earth tho is it?
I mean... no smog, no thousands of tons of human waste being pumped in, buried, burned, or just tossed out.
No humanity means what... homeostasis?
Thats pretty fukked up that we are the cause of the decline in healthy living. We can only blame ourselves.
Its easy to point fingers at others but I mean, if we don't stop them from doing these wasteful things, aren't we as much at fault?

There are so many problems but there are too many people saying "well, we're gonna have problems". That's just not true.
We don't have to accept people ruining our environment.
We don't have to accept people forcing us into minimum wage jobs when in fact we are worth far more.
We don't accept people killing people (even when it's an eye for an eye) <= that's not the law of nature.
We don't accept people driving under the influence of alcohol... DUI's will ruin their whole life.

It's the things that we do accept.

We accept people having the freedom of speech, even if the speech is damaging to the other party.
We accept people using people to staff their companies and after months, even years, of hard work let them deny them unemployment benefits after they are fired "at will".
We accept a drug dealer getting 60 yrs and a child molester getting 4.
We accept people placing judgement on people because of their choice in clothes, the color of their skin, their sexuality, and other things that we don't even have a right to judge.
We allow religions to take over and each religion is firmly against the worship of... RELIGIONS!
We allow ourselves to actually "believe the hype"... life is real. How can you just know you're being fake and they are being fake!

The only thing we can do with sound mind is to realize we must merely GET REAL. I mean there is no way around it... being ourselves is the 1st step to understanding and overcoming.
