I grew up in NYC in the 60s. The hot button topics, and what we lived our lives around, and what we were trying to change (I was from an activist family) were the Civil Rights movement, ecology/pollution issues, and the Viet Nam War. Our topics today are racial discrimination, global warming/ecological issues and the Iraq War (and Afghanistan "conflict"). Why aren't we changing? I do feel Walmart and shopping and pop culture have become our "opiate of the masses," as I've stated in comments here and in postings on my blog.<BR/><BR/>But you're exactly right. We ALL need to change OUR behavior. And we need to find ways to work for racial, ecological and economic justice.Jen of A2eatwritehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02362687820368214420noreply@blogger.com
