Right you are, Lendaddy. The decision to have a convenience store on every street corner is a deliberate one, but one that is very indirect. We have chosen a particular economic system that allows these stores, and we create a need for them. People are in a hurry because their lives are pinched. There is NOT enough time for family and community. Most of us spend 9 to maybe fifteen hours at work or commuting. That leaves time for sleep. There is a better way, but we somehow have bought into the notion that running around like chickens with our heads cut off is GOOD for society. So, we keep doing it. And convenience store clerks keep getting killed.
But the Iraq decision is different. It is not indirect, and it was not made as a group decision. The decision was made by Dubya, after significant exaggeration and propaganda, and that blood is on his hands.
Perspective indeed.
