Genetics cannot be influenced by your breakfast cereal

There are two types of people. I could give you examples of this type versus that type such as fry people versus baked potato people but that's been way overdone. Actually it boils down to common sense. For years now, scientists have been proving this theory by contacting the federal and state agencies requesting grants for this or that research and there are those who lack enough common sense who give these scientists the money while the scientists kick back in their laboratories and watch the Jerry Springer show. As far as they are concerned their research is validated without lifting a vile or a beaker. And, thus, is the pudding with the proof. Common sense is the one attribute of the human experience that cannot be bought, taught, sold, borrowed, manipulated, or copied. It cannot be surgically enhanced or increased with medication. It is the rarest possession a person can own and cannot be stolen. The only thing that can influence a person's measured abundance is the other human commodity we call feelings. You're angry - you kill. Common sense would tell you that it's not worth it to go to jail. You fall in love with that looney woman that walks and looks like an angel but has an i.q. of 85 and lacks the ability to understand the universe outside of her 5 ft. radius. Common sense is important and valuable but we give way to the heart and hormones. And political rhetoric. We oooh and aaaah over pretty words and what we want to hear and somewhere within are cerebral cortex something misfires and we hush our brains and that voice from within that tells us this man/woman is lying to us. We just can't seem to find the high ground upon which we were meant to stand. The slop bucket tastes good when you're hungry. Like hungry for hope and change. When the world doesn't make sense and those words seem to be correct but there's no common sense to them. Then there are those who listen to the common sense and appear to be callous and cold to the influence of those silver tongued snakes in the grass. For years I sensed (common sense gives you that sixth dimension where there's no actual smell but you know the rhetoric stinks) that that charismatic man was gonna lead our country down a dark path that may be impossible to back track from. I verbally warned people. I rolled my eyes whenever I saw his face on a magazine cover or the latest droolings from some "news" outlet on tv. Where was people's common sense I wondered? How did we go down the rabbit hole and get past Alice? Why is gasoline at such a high price when we could produce it so cheaply from our own vast resources? Where is the common sense? Now genetically we have changed as a species. You can't add all those chemicals and introduce emf fields from all the electricity wired throughout our country without modifying the genetic structure of its inhabitants. Give a little thought to the glass of water you just drank. It's filtered poop. Or the cob of corn you ate at that cookout last Saturday? But that's fresh from the farmer's market you say. Well, unless it was organically grown in the purest soil without influence from the polluted air or treated water it was given to grow, you ate a product that was treated with herbicides, insecticides, ammonia, and probably a hundred man-made chemicals that has changed it's genetic structure. You chose (common sense is overridden by the body's need to replenish it's energy source) to eat that. You even added butter/margarine which came from a cow or taken out of some vegetable or plant the margarine was made from. Now consider that cow and what it was fed. Pretty unpure stuff I imagine. So goes our food chain and water we depend upon. And we've altered nature in the name of science and society. It is in our need to prove ourselves with scientific research and bettering our society that common sense left the house so long ago. So, as I said, it really does boil down to two types of people. Those born with common sense and those who are lacking of it. And the problem, at it's very core, is the inability of those with common sense to override these choices made out of pride that effect the general population and those who fundamentally already lack common sense and genetically produce more offspring who contain even less common sense. The term "good head on his/her shoulders" has lost its relevance. We may have the good head but our hearts and pride get in the way of what that head should be telling us. And we continue to prove our superiority over all the other species to the point we are killing ourselves off through genetic modification. Our hearty and rational selves are going away in the name of science and progress. When will it end? What will bring about our demise? Well, a few key scientists, using "free" grant money which came out of some very wealthy, charitable redistributors in Washington, are working on that as we speak. They've given up on finding a solution. They're just trying to figure out the date and time of our demise. My name is Rueuhy and I approve this blog.
