Is there anything we can all agree on?

I've been checking out bcvoice for about a month now. What a great tool. I am especially drawn to the threads regarding our local communities - what's wrong and what's right. Its amazing the range of opinions and the conviction behind them.

So I thought I would start a thread about anything we can agree on. Ok, I'll go first,

 

The new millenium is off to a rocky start. It looks like our country, and consequently the world is about to slip into a pretty nasty recession. We're all pretty pissed off, cause we've been trying to live the "American dream" and its not working out the way we hoped it would. We have all these great inventions that are suppossed to save tons of time and labor, but we work longer hours now, and most families have to have both spouses working to either make ends meet or for the more fortunate, live the life style we believe is our station. We believe our government isn't working for us, we work for them. And what really gets to us all, is we feel pretty powerless to do much about the current state of affairs.

Who's next?

Food prices are too high also. The price of movie tickets and refreshments are way too high. There is something we can agree on.

I have not been to a movie in years ! how much does it cost now a days ? soda popcorn how much is that? just wondering.

We don't get to go hardly at all either. Would love to go more. Last time we went to the movies at Town Square Mall, I think the tickets were like around $8.00 each and the popcorn and sodas cost us around $10.00 for a bag of popcorn and 2 sodas. It is outrageous. There are so many good movies out and a family can't even afford to go even once in awhile.

Everybody loves the Firebird Trans Ams ;)

Yes, everyone loves the Firebird Trans Ams. I miss my 1980 San Francisco Red Firebird I had way back when I was about 20. Those were the days.

One of the problems is that we now work more to make more $ so we can afford all the technology that's supposed to save us time.

 

Remember back when they told us that personal computers would make us a "paperless society"??

If you have a desktop computer at work, you know what I'm talking about. Desktops in the workplace have doubled the amount of paperwork

generated than we had before PCs'. They didn't realize that most desktops would also have PRINTERS attached to them.

 

The technology creates more things that demand more of our attention than it alleviates.

 

Kids now get hundreds of dollars worth of electronics before they are 12 years old. When I grew up, that wasn't the case.
