I will not defend them

You see them at the supermarket aggressively pushing their shopping carts around, and you get this feeling that if you do not move fast enough they might just run into you. You detect an undercurrent of suppressed
rage, hostility, and detachment as if they are on some other planet.

You feel the same thing when you are driving down the road, and you see them driving with one hand on the wheel, the other hand holding up a cell phone to their ear, wheeling their SUVs around just as aggressively and at the         
same time detached, like those people in the supermarket pushing their shopping carts around.

No-one smiles any more. No-one wants to talk about things that matter. If you want to discuss anything other than sports, sex, or Dancing with the Stars, no-one seems interested.

What is happening? Is it something in the water, or is Invasion of the Body Snatchers actually happening for real?

I do not remember people being like this. They are hostile, impatient, full of suppressed anger, abrupt, suspicious, and some even threatening.

Not so many years ago, you couldn't walk down the street without running into your friends and neighbors wanting to talk about anything and everything, and have a good laugh. People, I remember, used to communicate -- now they just glare at you, or completely ignore you.

No-one wants to complain about anything. No-one seems to be bothered by high taxes or inflation. They just look at you and roll their eyes like you are crazy if you dare to express your dissatisfaction with the status quo. And God forbid, do not mention the wars, that topic really gets people uncomfortable. It is as if you are asking some personal question.

Have our fellow human beings, our friends and neighbors, become overwhelmed by the course of events these last six years, so they're burying their heads in the sand? Or have they become closet fascists, who privately support the dictatorship in Washington? Are they over-medicated with prescription drugs, or are they getting off on the horrors which the "Decider" and his handlers are inflicting on humanity?

Are these the same people whose answer to every problem, real or imagined, is "Bomb Them!? No wonder the Bush Cabal and the rubber stamp Congress have no problem disposing of the Constitution and Bill of Rights. I will not defend them. I will not try to enlighten them any more.

All these vegetables think about is their new shiny cars, the ridiculous clothing they buy, the garbage that passes as entertainment, and the anti-depressant drugs which helps them avoid reality. They do not want to admit to themselves that America is in trouble ... After all, that's not supposed to happen here, we are told.

Well, folks, like the Germans and their victims deciding to ignore things, who had to learn the hard way some sixty years ago, it ain't going to be any different this time around.

I mentioned last week in another thread, that there is no sense of community anymore.  Everyone walks around with tunnel vision, focused on their own wants and needs, brainwashed by the media and by Madison Avenue to care more about the latest reality show or the new Nike sneakers or what fashionable car they should be driving, rather than caring about what is going on in this country and in the world.

That certainly sounds possible. To see if that is the case someone should research wether or not this type of behavior always goes hand in hand with rising world problems.

When times get tough our inner natures come right on up to the surface.  Some are compassionate and caring and others are very dark and selfish some are a mixture.
However we all have the ability to keep what we like and discard what we dislike about our inner self and we have the ability to enhance those attributes [both positive and negative] exponentially.

Its all about awareness, choice and consequence.

Hello all, I believe the reason why people are acting alot more like this now, has alot to do with the media. I think that they really are not aware of the real news and real information about what is going on in our country and in our world. They do not hear it on the t.v. , or in the newspapers. alot of people are not aware and do not know the truth. They have to find this out probably, mostly through the internet. They cannot fathom , or believe what is really the truth. They know something is going on , something is wrong, but cannot put thier finger on it. They know something is not right but, do not know the truth. The NWO is the cause of all of the unrest , uncertaintanty, and doubt. The wars are the result of the NWO, the high gas prices, are the NWO, the political problems are the NWO. Obviously everything wrong is the NWO.

Thanks for posting that Mr Grinch. It's very recognisable to me, and it's happening everywhere. The best example is still all those people stepping over a lady in some store bleeding to death. Imagine someone catching you while caring about another human being, it'd be so embarrassing!

I've seen this attitude and have different ideas of what is the cause (since I am first a Christian). 

What's interesting in my own life is that I am "holing" myself up.  I find it extremely hard to have friends as most people are too shallow to think and, like the article says, they do not care about what really matters.  Or, I do not feel comfortable expressing myself to others because of the "kook" factor.   I'm becoming more paranoid, I guess.  I'm just glad that my DH and a couple of good friends can see what I do so I am not totally alone IRL.  Either way, relationships are just too hard to maintain if you cannot be yourself.
