anarchy is dumb.

Been reading/learning a lot about society/politics/social theories and sciences, etc. I think most of it is crazy nonsense. I watched a video for the Philosophy class i took at El centro. it was talking about how in some countries children are the only ones in their families able to work, physically able. and so,there you have that situation but, if you say 'child labor', child labor! people in the west believe it is wrong. no one remembers that situation, if the child is the only person in a family able to work, and the child works, he is providing for his family. he is ensuring the survival of his family. and in that case, who am i to say that it is wrong. I have never been in that situation, but if I were 7 and my mother was ill, I would want to work to help her feed our family. if i were not allowed because of a law or something and we had no money for anything, that would be a much worse situation. So anyway - that's child labor, just an example. some things are easy to agree with on the surface, but if you look a little deeper sometimes you are surprised how little you understand about what it is you are agreeing with. I believe it's in my best interest to constantly be challenging ideas, and especially my own. so i also just went to half price and got a bunch of books. one of them is about "slowness". i am going to read it now.
