Mentally Lazy America

I love old cars and the mentality of the old days because people thought about actions and consequences.  People understood how a gasoline engine worked and how to make it go faster.  They knew that electricity doesn’t just appear out of an outlet mounted on the wall and water doesn’t just appear out of a faucet.  Understanding basic physics led to constant industrialization in America.  Men and women understood how to make things work.  If you bought a Model T Ford, then you better know how to fix it.  If you needed a new outfit, you needed to know how to sew.  People understood how to apply rational scientific thinking in every aspect from the kitchen to the Space Shuttle.

Modern technology has made people’s mentality very lazy.  It appears that there is no reason for people to understand how or why things work like they do.  This is not correct, yet, it would be a real project to ask college students today how to change the oil in their car or what to do when a tire goes flat; besides calling a tow truck or maybe even the police.  At some point, doing math calculations or learning to spell will become obsolete with the use of computers and other electronic devices in every aspect of their lives. 

With this mentality regarding the normal every day items we use, it is no wonder that the youngest generation and future of America is so ignorant.  They apply this “no cause and effect” ignorant thinking to their lives in every possible way.  This includes their education, job, economic views, and even their political affiliation. 

If America is going to survive as the global leader, we need Americans to understand why things work like they do.  Left leaning liberal do-gooder mentality is not socially responsible.  This has been tried and tested throughout history and yet, these ignorant kids and young adults of today do not want to learn.  Socialism is for psychopaths to gain control over the masses.  When will America wake up?  Will it take economic collapse?  Will it be when someone uses WMDs against us putting us in the Stone Age?   Will it take losing America to wake up the minds of its citizens?

People have become mentally lazy.  We witness and tolerate this every day.  All the leftist liberals had to do to gain power and control is figure out how to brainwash the children through educational system.  Make everything in people’s lives disposable: their cars, electronics, clothing, even their lives . . .  and so the sheep will follow down the repeated paths of history.
