So it's been awhile since my last post, college has sucked up every free moment i've had outside of work. but still here I am. Well I've been in the lovely State of Arizona this past week, and the week before that I was out in California. During all this time I've had plenty of time to think, and let things eat away at my mind. First, as college and overachieving college students that I must interact with are a large part of my current time table i feel compelled to talk about it. First of all, these college books, someone was paid to sit and think, and then write down in a manner so eloquent, that it makes you feel inferior for not knowing the words they made up. Then there are the students that wish to join these thinkers, who post long drawn out circular reasoning to somehow ask a question. Why? does all this metaphysic/anti-foundationilist(look that one up on spell check cause it don't exist)/epogramic(I made that one up) conjecturing(another college word) get anybody anywhere? Yes! It makes jobs for those white collar workers that have nothing better to do than make money for thinking. Let me put it this way:
we are now in the 1970's and all the leading scientists are ranting about the coming ice age that will freeze over the earth, and all the thinkers are thinking, they think we should get more scientists to research this terrible occurence... so the masses call for the addition of new scientists to study this horrible impending future. All these scientists discover that no actual dramatic cooling exsits. so what do we do now? We have all these thinkers and no job for them. Here comes Global Warming! Sure Everyone believed we'd all freeze why not switch it up and go the opposite direction with it? Does it work? O I dunno probably not, it Just incorporates billion dollars of go Green mercahndise and advancement, as well as affecting the political realm with it's own legislation. I'd say those thinkers done well for themselves.
Now it's the year 2009 and the thinkers are still...thinking. Now I'm not condeming technological advancement or science in any way. I just see a problem with thinkers thinking for our country and our future politicians spending their time writing aimlessly to impress the thinkers. Sometimes you gotta do and let the thinking come later. Anyone who has done anything daring knows, the more you think the harder it is to do. Do you jump off that bridge with only a big rubberband around your ankles? of course! Do you ride that bull? You betcha. Why do people get bolder the more beer they drink? Cause the more you drink the less you think.
Now thinking has its place, and doing has its, so think clearly and do boldly and that ain't overthinking a thing.
Well that looks to be all I got for now, God Bless America, Keep it Simple, and if you voted for Obama think about regreting it.

well, that about sums it up doesn't it? I enjoy your posts and will continue to read them until my mission, on oct. 28. KISS (keep it simple stupid) i liked that. Thinkers are necessary, but as we know, us conservative types, these "thinkers can get carried away. Then ideas such as socialized medicine, and government healthcare shower our living standards with a broken document signed by obama, not thaomas jefferson. Amen brother...Amen.
