agriculture, slavery and plastic bottles??????

As I watched the video on agriculture it reminded me on how lazy we can be. When I was young we had there was a lot of physical activity. From sports to fishing diving swimming hunting, yard work and any household chores. As a kid I was very active, the only time I wasn't it was because I got grounded. I preferred going outside and playing with my friends then playing video games in fact I only played games when there was nothing to do. or wasn't allowed to go outside till my parents got home.

Everything is automated, everything is with in hands reach. Starbucks, Jamba juice, mcdonalds, Jack in the box, there is even a drive thru Panda express now. everything in our daily lives that required work is becoming less and less physical. everything can either be done thru the internet or with a simple phone call. Obesity has spiked extremely high from the past ten years. Not because of fast food as everybody likes to think its because with every new generation laziness becomes more and more common.

With this laziness, comes a limited imagination. With no imagination one can not learn. Thru the years I had noticed that with each new generation I noticed how slow they are getting in there mental skills. They are in there own little world and will stay in there own little world. With this lack of education people lower their standards. A good example would be music, I can not believe what passes as music today its terrible. Or what is on TV is even more disturbing. With all this reality shows we get caught up in, we rush home just to watch it. We forget other matters at hand. We forget about things that happen around us but more importantly we forget how to spend quality time with each other and our family.

With that in mind who are we to blame the outcome of our agriculture. Who are we to say that they are corrupt and unethical. For we are the ones who feed into for them. We like to buy and take but we don't ask on how it got here in the first place. Are the slave holders in the tomato farms in Florida really to blame or the neighboring people around the farm or dare I OSHA or their local police. You can even say some of the fault can go to the local union. In regards to the the plastic floating bottle in the pacific ocean there is only one thing I can say. Every little bit adds up.

There is a a story with the Titanic and its sister ship. When they were both in the ship yard they had the exact same lay out and the same exact length. Both of them did not come the length of the blueprint what was worse is one of the ships was longer by almost nine feet. This is actually quite common in the field of construction. It is the called the "Build up of Tolerances". This is the same effect of our trash. we drop a receipt, we say to ourselves "its just a small piece of paper" or if a plastic bag flies away from our car. All this adds up. The more we lower our standards on arts and education the less we become aware of our surroundings. In this time and age can we really afford to be lazy or much less lower our standards of education. If we lower our standards we also lower our morals. If we lose our morals we are no better that the monopoly in agriculture and the slave holders in Florida. Now I ask you again, Who are we to blame the current situation we live in.
