In an interview I read in another thread, this caught my attention...Don commented what his Eden would be..I thought WoW! He's got a more than a few peeves...here's his response for those who didn't see this...
Eden ... for me would be a place where there is no news or entertainment media -- no more bad news, no more windbag political pundits, no self-righteous, know-it-all sportscasters, no charlatan televangelists, no celebrity news, no movie or music critics and no interviews. It would also be great if there were no Facebook, no MySpace and no Twitter. And a world with no video games would be brilliant. ... But for better or worse, this is what has become of our culture -- a gazillion ways to be distracted, to waste time, to be spoon-fed a constant diet of the trivial and the tragic. But there's nowhere left to run. This is the world that men like Rupert Murdoch have made, and we all have to live in it. Fortunately, they haven't done away with books or radio.
So, my question - what would YOUR eden be??
Of course, I think we'd all agree with...no war - no crime - children would be loved and appreciated as they should be, not hurt or hated. People would treat others as they themselves wish to be treated.
here's what I think mine would be...
First, All rudness would vanish! (I detest rudness!).
Swimming in a creek at least once would be manditory.
(I agree with him here) - NO MORE VIDEO GAMES - get outside and play!
No more concert ticket venders who jack up the prices to ungodly amounts!
Bye-bye biased news media (on the left and the right)...just give us the news
like the red sea, cars and trucks would part and get outta my way :)
Store clearks would stop texting long enough to complete my transaction.
Bank drive throughs would literally BE bank Drive Throughs - not bank stop and waits.
People would not always voice their opinions just because they can - sometimes its more wisdom to be silent.
OH! And Eagles music would blast from every radio and CD player wherever I go - instead of the "crap" (mho) that I hear in stores today...
