Is there such a thing as a sustainable economy?
With people consuming so much, can we possibly provide a lifestyle for our children comparable to our own?
Will people strive for education and science instead of complacency and American Idol?
Can we give up a 5 day work week and give more of our time to help humanity?
Will our country potentially stop being a world power in military strength and start being a world leader in conservation of resources and diplomacy?
Is the next part of our cycle as Americans to go back to smaller sustainable communities with less economic ambition and more ambition for philanthropy and community involvement?
Will we ever learn from our mistakes?
Is it possible to employ every person in a 350 million person country?
Can small government really work?
Can big government really work?
Can anyone really trust anyone to look out for anyone other than themselves?
Are we eating too much meat?
Are we depending on too many farm raised forms of food?
Are paper mills going to go out of business because of the Kindle 2? Are loggers going to lose their jobs because of paper companies going out of business? Is the entire state of Washington going to have to work for Microsoft?
Will we go back to basics if it means prolonging our foreseeable future on this planet? Can we give up our toys? TVs, DVDs, and Cars?
Sometimes I feel cursed by having a brain with this many cells...
P.S. The Kite Runner wasn't a good movie choice tonight.....

ReplyDeleteI think the more important question here is: Do kittens like to wear mittens.. or rather, can mice throw dice? another topic you forgot to include was: Can you swallow your own tongue? I know these are questions no one wants to ask, but we cant hide from the issues here Josh.
