Well...le's see...I don't know anyone who leads a just and moral life. If you drive a car, and import your food and other goods, like tools and clothes and furniture from halfway around the world you're not living justly. In fact, if that is the case, then you are stealing the worlds health and robbing future generations of their chance to lead a good and healthy life. I have a good friend who once told me, "Justice is not using anybody for anything, ever, period ". In other words, justice has no ego. The moral and the just are mostly invisible people, few and far between. I don't know a whole lot about the Amish, though I nearly finished a book about their history once. It seems to me though, that they do a pretty good job of living sustainably on the Earth. They don't use electricity and they don't drive cars(although they take rides) and they grow most of their own food. I know that they have some participation in the economy but I think it's minimal and I suggest that an Amish way of life or something akin to it, is the answer, sans religion.
What we have now is corporate feudalism. The schools main purposes are not true education, but social conditioning. Students learn the skills that will enable them to become part of the corporate power structure, instead of how to truly support themselves. They learn dependence not independence. Where are the schools that teach gardening and farming, leather work, metal smithing, hunting and fishing, and tailoring and carpentry, in addition to the 3 "R"s. The schools homogenize the population and make the people dependent on the economy and therefore submissive and easy to control.
I didn't mean to give the impression that I was proud of my hypocrisy, In fact I'm ashamed, but my shame doesn't prevent my honesty or my search for answers. I think that most Americans, if they're honest with themselves, will realize that they frequently trade justice for convenience.
I think the idea that one has to be free of hypocrisy in order to point out an injustice is just silly and immature and frankly egotistical.
I am not sure why I am being accused of assuming all the liberties of immorality, hypocrisy and injustice. You think I'm some kind of a nihilist or something ?? Far from it. My life is a work in progress and I do my best to live a conscientious life or as you put it, Samara, to live fair and just regardless of the matrix.
