Challenge the System
Frank Anthony Ph.D.
The last time I interviewed John Kenneth Galbraith, one of the Great Americans (my opinion) gas was a dollar something a gallon and Americans, buzzing around in guzzlers, were wasting it. He hoped it would get up to $4 a gallon. Well, the Bush-Arabian dynasty is seeing more gas-guzzlers, no end in sight! Iraqis kill off a Marine a day at billions of dollars a month, no end in sight there either. Is it any wonder Americans suffer from a helpless syndrome, maybe feeding more cancers than ever before!
Death of the human spirit is reflected in more ways than political approval ratings. Staying home, around TV is one way to beat the system. Challenging the system itself is another, taking the bull by his horns! A local lady called recently asking me to come look at the dark grease the McDonalds next door spewed on her house. Calling headquarters was doing them no good! I went to the day manager and told her my analysis of the problem. She said she would refer it.
Today the lady called; her house was cleaned of the grease and the McDonald’s filters and stacks are to be fixed. In a world laden with negative energy, it is good to see corporate America take responsibility. In a few short weeks there shall be thirteen places, in which to eat, in our little town area. Less than 4,000 people, is this cause for alarm? Or thinking positively, we can take advantage of the diversity, take mom out and enjoy the situation.
