Hey all,
I haven’t written recently and I’m generally in and out.  But you probably would agree with me that you don’t weekly come up with new things that you’re passionate about, or are important to you.  Well this is one (And i just thought of another that has been on my mind lately, slowly and longer)  We’ll start here. 

I’m a girl… and I’m not a big fan of lots of medicine anyway, but I do believe in taking care of our bodies and doing what’s necessary to keep us healthy.  That being said, America has become a very symptom soothing oriented society.  “You’re depressed?  Here’s some medicine.”  “You’re having issues with your kid?  Let’s throw drugs at her and see how that affects her.  She’s only 10 years old?  No problem!”  and then there’s birth control and menopause and how that is being taken care of.  Let me state for the record that I am pro-birth control.  I think it’s a helpful thing.  I think there are medical side-effects to synthetic estrogen that these women taking it have already experienced.  Don’t quote me on this, but cancers and other issues I think have been linked (not directly connected) to the synthetic hormones. 

But then there’s the indirect consequences of how our bodies don’t fully process some of these drugs and they pass through and get into the water.  We do enough chemical stuff to our water to clean out the bacteria and other gross stuff , but the drugs aren’t fully erradicated.  And they get back into nature, your ponds, your crops, forests, and meat.

Life is sustained by water – everything (besides rocks) needs it to survive.  And yet we’re not doing anything about it.  We’re not trying to figure out why you’re depressed (some people are genetically predisposed, I understand simple therapy isn’t affective all the time)  We don’t try to cure why our kids are ADD, depressed, apathetic, angry, destructive, etc.  We just put them on drugs!  If the parents got therapy, and then had kids maybe the kids would turn out a little better.  And they could get therapy before they raise children to clean out the “system” of their parents crap before perpetuating the cycle.  Everyone has issues, I know that.  Not everyone can be saved, I’ll accept that.  But that doesn’t mean we should numb the entire nation.  Each generation is going to get more angry.

I know I’m covering a lot of things.  And I don’t have the scientific stats or the correct solutions, but something has to change.  We’re raising disgusting meat filled with synthetic hormones, raised on an unnatural diet that we’re feeding to our children, plus the vegetables that are covered in pesticides, fertilizers and are genetically modified so they have less nutrients at the expense that they’ll survive a trip across the world to where they’ll be eaten and not rot in 2 days.  If our children are eating all of this, and then drinking the water that also has anti-depressants and estrogen in it… what is that doing to our children’s bodies?  What about their fertility and development.  Not to mention the societal pressure for the girls to be skinny and sexy – but I won’t get into that now. 

I just think we need to figure out a different way to do birth control and psychological medication.  We need to re-think how we’re raising our foods, and what we’re willing to accept as okay.  If you sent in your tax return with coffee stains on them and are all wrinkled, that’s not a good quality of service.  If we bought clothes that were actually dirty (not just looking way too worn as is the style), prom dresses and wedding dresses that were all wrinkled and sitting in a ball, that wouldn’t be acceptable.  Our level of quality is decreasing significantly (another point I’m not going to get into right now)  but what I’m trying to say, is if we’re not going to accept these products that are partially trashed, if we won’t accpet that level of service and quality, why then should we close our eyes and say, “the water’s clear, it’s gotta be clean”,  “the foods in abundance at the supermarket, I don’t care how it’s been grown”.  Why are we trusting these big huge companies that are making money by cutting corners, making things cheap and mass produced/diagnosised?  Do you think they have your best intrest in mind?  They don’t know about you.  They only care about your money!  And that goes for pharmacutical companies too.   They just want to give you their pills.  They don’t want you to get better, they don’t want you to be cured. 

Watch your water and your vegetables.  natural life around us is dying because of the water.  Frogs and fish are all be coming female, or both sexed.  Which means species and life systems are in danger of mutations.  We’re not on this earth to be douted on.  We’re on this earth to live within the Huge, vastly complexe natural ecosystem around us.  We need to wake up and realize that “oh, the earth wasn’t made correctly, let’s move vast amounts of water to a desert and ruin rivers and ecosystems that depend on them”  That’s not the truth!  deserts are supposed to be deserts.  If you want your green lawn and your picket fence, move.  (again, another topic I’ll stop right now)

Be careful of your drinking water, take care with your body and your children and your children’s bodies.  Mutations are bound to show up in humans too.
