NPR Food for Thought Part 1

I listen to NPR podcasts everyday. I thought I would write this blog on a few things that I have found interesting and maybe give people a little Food For Thought. If you want to give me your feedback (good or bad) to my questions or just say hello feel free to leave me a comment in the comments section at the bottom. I would like to thank NPR for giving me this information and some of the questions.

Time: They talked about the evolution of time and how people have evolved from living in a world with just hours to then having minuets to then dealing with seconds to now having milliseconds. Now people use time to tell them when to eat, people rely on time to get places like taking a bus and some people even see time as something that gets in their way. I guess in the end the only thing everyone has in common is the fact that time affects us. How does time affect you? Do you think you could go a whole day without being affected by time?

Less Government: Our country has taken many different turns in the past few years. We are facing challenges that have never been faced before. I believe that we are not only a country that is divided but we are a county who doesn’t really know what we want. I talked to small business owner who was very adamant about wanting less government but then also talked about needing more police by his store and wanting a faster permit process. Does that make sense? Who represents “good government” and “bad government”? Do people only like government when it affects them for the better?

Morally Bankrupt: Our country is bankrupt but have we become morally bankrupt? There is a fine line between achieving goals and stepping on people to get there. The lack emphasis on what is better for the whole has somewhat left our society. Some people hold the mind set that stepping on people as long as they succeed is okay. In the podcast someone said well “that’s capitalism?” Is it? Is ths the new America?

This blog has become a little longer than expected. I post another blog tonight and add onto that blog my MOVIE portion.

Happy Birthday Jo!
