Ramblings of a Wandering Luney

Anyone else notice the American drift toward trying to find a cause to their problems instead of trying to fix them? Like obesity, they say its genetic ot due to lack of stomach pressure or due to a lack of nurture as a young child or due to oral fixation or due to depression, whatever. It's crazy. I mean, I understand trying to figure out what's wrong if the person has a problem like that disease where they will even eat cardboard if food is not around. But people should not waste the time and energy needed for fixing what is wrong on finding out why. I am not saying this for all cases, but I was just reading an article today on new breakthrough on obesity. Great, another new excuse added to the already massive excuse list. Joy. Than, after trying to excuse away the problem, they look for a "quick fix". Instead of taking the method that has been proven through time and common sense, people think that a pill can fix anything. I love that ill will press cartoon where Foamy is talking to the British squirrel and the American squirrel at the coffee shop and the American squirrel is talking about all his pills. I mean, he's got a pill for everything!! Instead of just trying to control the impulse or whatever, people take a pill, than take more pills to counteract the side effects of the first pill. Than they sue when it doesn't work out. We have become a society that is throughing responsibility in the trash. ...Wow...I just lost my train of thought. Oh well, I think I have ranted long enough anyway (that's what happens when I try to post with ten people in the same room).
