Its really subjective Spirit. An idea can be great however that doesn't mean they can really be implemented.
Even if certain ideas were more efficient or did improve things it doesn't mean people would be ready for them.
In this thread, for example, over a half dozen people posted "But people should still have the choice to be married" We clearly identified that you could still be married however people couldn't get past the title of the blog AND they haven't been conditioned by the media.... yet.
To create change you have to have a mass awareness of a problem first before people are ready to focus on creating real solutions. If public opinion is not seeing a need then people aren't conditioned.
If you really listen carefully you'll find our mass media conditions people for upcoming changes before companies or the gov't implements them.
First things get discussed on capital hill or in the board rooms and then the media (who is owned by some of the same corporations) start having things pop up on Dateline, 60 minutes and so on. Ever notice that all the media stations talk about the same things? Thats the power of mass thought and it is all started by some initiative. Then somebody will come on a blog and make a post and people have been preconditioned to seeing a problem or a need. Certainly a 50% plus divorce rate is a problem worth discussion but there isn't enough money it the problem for a corporation to then start spinning the wheels in the media and then move mass opinion.
But thanks for throwing in one last "thats your job" and another "snarky wink".
For someone who doesn't think a subject is worth attention you sure do follow this thread closely.
Hmmm. Something about this subject must have touched a nerve. That wasn't my intent.
