Normal is Broken - Jeff Jones - Bog

I remember looking up the definition one day of "SNAFU". I had no idea it was an acrostic. As stated, "situation normal all fouled up"! This is a global movement of epidemic crisis. Normal is broken! Is it too outrageous a thought, that because I have a passion for the truth (what I like to call "the real"), a sincere appetite for accountability, that a word spoken at the right time, in the right place, could set off a wave of reaction that would actually make humanity think? That there exists truth in such a transferable form that we could make conscious choices that defines out of the grey a black and white clarity that brings resolve and not more cover up. Why is it that although we have had partisan regime changes that the issues do not get resolved they just keep reshuffling the same deck? Accusations get made, and no follow through gets performed. I enjoy intelligent communication and a good talk show host, but why is it always the same story? Rouse up listeners on a particular issue, get them down right angry, proving or suggesting content, that then goes only as far as the ratings. This is political "mambo-jumbo"! Working up the writhe of a good fire dance, but then send everyone home after the show with just a few snapshots for the fridge, has become par! I was thinking I am not the only one frustrated with the word, "CHANGE", but be clueless on its current definition? Normal is broken in the worse way, from education to ethics, benefits to business, and consciousness to creativity. The ABC's are becoming an ancient nursery rhyme and Ritalin, Vicodin, and Wellbutrin nursery room dispensaries, Wake up World! There is a greater truth here revealing itself. Who declares the testing, standardization, and expectations of 28 students in a classroom from southern California is "NORMAL"? We hear screaming for individual rights while individuality is squelched! How about business, banking, and insurance? How about the NSA, IRS, FDA, AMA, & FEMA? Is there more purpose behind the G8, UN, and TLC? What about veterans that cannot find gainful employment or benefits that have value, or psychological detoxification of combat and culture? Do we really want to talk about the lottery, fuel prices, stock exchange, healthcare and retirement plans? I am telling you normal is broken, this coalition and collection of words is a start on getting it fixed!
