What will it take?

From the Bovine

CFIA agents came to Montana Jones farm Saturday to take four lambs to be killed.
The CFIA’s seemingly on again, off again plan to kill lambs from Montana Jones’ farm was on again Saturday, as agents came to the farm and reportedly took  four lambs away, presumably to be killed and tested. The video below documents an exchange between Montana Jones and the CFIA last Thursday. We’re expecting another video to be released tomorrow.

What does it take to get people involved in life? What has to happen before the two legged sheep realize the truth? What liberties does the average joe have to lose before interest is shown in reality?

There are two things on this planet that every living thing needs to live--food and water--but so many think that money is the third (or first if you are a part of the BigBusiness machine). I think we could all name things that are secondary to food and water -- money would be far down on the list. To really 'live' a body also needs family, friends, a good nights sleep, interesting conversations, and the list goes on.

History and writers say that we killed God in the sixties and we replaced belief in one thing with a belief in lies, gov't and money. All three are intwined like a breeding snake knot and has poisoned our thinking to the point where instead of caring and supportive citizens, we have a colony of shruggers. "I can't do anything about it". Shrug. "It can't be that bad". Shrug. "All politicians are crooks, what are you going to do?" Shrug. "I have to shop at BigBusiness, my money is tight". Shrug.

We stroll along safe in the belief that our personal lives are what is important and everything else be damned. We stomp along with the firm belief that this system of rewarding the big and destroying the small is the only game in town. We congratulate ourselves in being good parents; good citizens; good daughters and sons and completely forget that that is also the relationship we have with the earth, the non human creatures, and the future. We ignore that which we cannot bear to see; we use contempt as a weapon against those who can see and don't like what their vision is showing.

In these days of so-called social media and the mistaken belief that we are a global village in an age where we can communicate with others in an inclusive environment (I can personally attest to the fallacy in that!), more people actually care less than we did in the past. We know our neighbours less, we help out local people less, we have more derision and hate for people we don't know and we are communicating effectively less. We are an insular people gradually shrinking our bubble of knowledge and interaction to only include that which is 'easy', 'convenient' and 'safe'.

We have been trained like monkeys in a lab or rats in a maze to live the way BigBusiness and their puppets, government, have told us to live. We buy what the propagandizers have pushed a la commercials, ads and what 'critics' have sold us. We spend, spend, spend in the frenzy of commercialism in order to placate our growing dissatisfaction--to make us happy. Are we happy? Or just in debt? We listen to biased media, parrot the lies of others because we can't be bothered with digging in the dirt for the nugget of truth. Best to live on the surface only, right?

We are nothing but a grand experiment to see just how stupid we can be--and it isn't aliens who are doing the experiments, armed with probes and space ships. We are doing it to ourselves.

From our school systems to our food systems we are being fooled and lied to on a daily basis. We are raising our kids in a system that rewards the goose-stepping mob mentality and penalizes the individual who has the temerity to see a better way. This is life? This is the modern world?

Only if WE decide it is. Break the stranglehold and think. Break out of your prison and see the view from this side. It's a pretty one.
