What are you personally going to do, specifically.

And what, as a society, should we all do?

It's not enought to say we should complain, kick out the politicians, or riot.

Most people are aware of whats going on in our country. The question , to me anyway, is whether we will ACT, or merely REACT. Although as individuals we may not have an impact on the situation globally, we can do something about the piece of the globe we live on, our home. We can be more conservative. We can plant our own food. We can plan our shopping trips better. As individuals, there are many things we can do.We should all probably reprioritize. We ARE a fat and sassy country and we are spoiled.

Hi, Stranger! Good topic!!

I think I'd prefer to just "respond" rather than act or react, but those are just semantics. I'll respond by voting (although the choices are not good) & the "Do No Harm" philosophy.

I am unable to grow a garden (assuming I had a green thumb), and my life's priorities are God, country, family, job. Allowing God to make me the best "me" possible, following the Golden Rule, & loving & forgiving.

I don't believe in dissidence or Thoreau's civil disobedience, so that is out. I think globalization & world unity are evil concepts (now that will ruffle some feathers), but I believe in peace & not being wasteful, & practice such in my everyday 'real' life.

How's that?

While i dont think, a lot of you are taking this serious. While we see gas risen and have you been to the store lately. The stuff you use to buy is going up in price, while our country is given every body free access to what we grow. Now is the time to let the ones in congress know Iam not going to take it any more.
