Changing the world is like changing a baby's diaper: you really have no idea what mess you are in for. I mean, what has this baby been eating, anyway?! The slop of the economy, the constipating b.s. from politicians, the fast food of quick fixes, all part of this balanced breakfast. If we are going to change to world, perhaps we need to slap the hand that has been feeding it?

Let's see... where shall we begin?

Greed:
"It's mine! It's mine, I deserve it," said the spoiled brat.
In a world full of flashing lights, fancy electronics and department stores that seem to have everything that anyone would ever want, your pupils dilate from some king of endorphins in people's minds that could only be compared to that of our parents frolicking around in the 60's. The LSD of hamburgers and iphones, indeed.

However, in a really greedy world, we have people like Madoff that can help us invest our money without having the luxury of spending it, weaning millions of people off of excess.

Wars:
Children fight over things that they see other children having. "Give me, give me, I saw it first!"
"You saw the oil? Before we drilled?"
"Its mine!"
"... under our ground?"
"give me or im tellin!"

This baby is being fed only the finest products produced by the international conglomerate Peace-o-Shit Industries. It is all due to consumerism and the want, want, want nature that clearly displays the human race as being an infant. Maybe its time for a bit of maturity... at least then the only issue we would have would be the keen interest in sex.

Porn:
After everyone has gotten past this "gimmme" stage, this is the only logical next step. Clearly, great days are a-head, when we all will rise to our potential and become a potent force, thrusting ahead forcefully.........

How would I change the world? Like any other parent of a spoiled brat, I would first need to slap this baby across the face, ground it and take away its video games. Then, maybe I would begin to feed it with a healthy dose of my mind! All that I would really need to do is place a mirror in front of it! We think we have it made, we feel like we know what we are doing, but if you look us straight in the eyes, all we are are drug addicted junkies desperately wanted our next fix of Wal-mart or Apple Computers.

If what we are doing is not working, then maybe it is high time we stop trying to get different results with same equations and start using another equation, offering us an automatic different result.

God knows my face is hurting...
