WHAT HAS BECOME OF THE "AMERICAN DREAM?" - A RANDOM RAMBLE FROM PAPA-PEPPER

in #freedom7 years ago

Personally, I think it has been a bait and switch.


As time progresses, many things change. Ideas become distorted and intents get skewed. This is just a vlog of my sharing my views and my thoughts. It is in no way an attack on any lifestyle or choices that others are free to make. It is just me sharing some of the reasons why I choose to live the way that I do, some of our goals and dreams, and some of the reasons why I moved out of the city. For what it's worth, I hope that you enjoy it or at least get something out of it.

It’s getting to the point, where if you want to eat good-for-you foods, that you will have to grow them yourself. I just read an article in the local paper saying the state is making it illegal for home cooks and farmers to sell certain canned goods without a license or inspection. Things are getting ridiculous.

I am not surprised to hear this at all!

It also said it’s one of the nation’s most lenient. I’d hate to see what the other states look like. My husband said it’ll just create a black market. I can picture the headlines now: Man arrested for selling canned green beans!

Sad but that will happen sooner than we think!

Good thoughts...

It's called the "american dream" because you have got to be asleep to believe it!🤔

living in the countryside is very peaceful, but I do not understand why you @papa-pepper moved from the city.
I always see your vidio, but I do not understand what you are saying.
because i do not understand english, i can only translate words from google translator.

Here, in the city, you often cannot have a big garden or raise animals like chickens, goats, sheep, etc. For us, if we were going to live on some land, we wanted to be able to use it as we wanted to, rather than as someone else wanted us to. Too many laws and too many rules in some cities and towns.

Yes,That is very clear, we in the village also do something like that, gardening and breeding as well.

Well done PA pepper

Well said papa everybody have choices to dedictate his or her own life thaks for the infor

Thank you for checking it out.

good thingking papa-papper......

Change is constant. Your ideology and phylosophy of life has made you optnin for a change.
Provided it is for the betterment of our generally well beign.
why not give it a try (change)

This is really good!!!! Great thoughts!!
-cheers-

nice one sir..i got to learn many new ideas because of this :)

Life has change in great magnitude. It affects the way we live and interact. But we all live the way we view life and sometimes we live the way life leads us.

It is all perspective @papa-pepper but I agree cities are big traps. They are also a simmering pot for hate and dislike as well as indifference and apathy.

Most city people even though they are surrounded by people have limited interaction outside of the home unless purchasing something or working. Cities make people live on top of each other and stay indoors too much. Seasonal disorder is high due to lack of sunlight and people are truly antisocial in the cities from what I have seen from the outside looking in.

The traps that are cities expand to engulf us all. The countryside will be no hiding place from an efficient machine.

America is my birthplace, i love Amareca

Hola, gracias por la informacion.

So true. Agree 100% Life is far more restrictive than it was 30 years ago. With further restrictions on life, comes a stagnation of growth as individuals and society as well. Our American dream is restricted. How many times over has free energy been invented or alternative fuels for travel? Why is disease going up, while nonprofits continue to collect hoping for cures? Why is more money spent on wars over resources rather than quality of life or education...peace. And why can't I have a chicken?! Of course, I know the answer to these questions because I've researched quite a bit - however, it is sad to learn how boxed in we are. I had to sit at the DMV the other day for 3 hours to renew my driver's license - this was because now everyone will need a Federal ID in order to travel 'domestically' What?! Life is quickly changing. You've probably already seen this video, but I always thought it very compelling and through-provoking. Amazing that it was in the 80's:

Wow, I just learned that you can't post a video with your comment at the same time :) Bye bye comment. It basically stated that I agree 100%. I feel these restrictions have caused stagnation of growth and caused a great deal of dependency and complacency. I also added that I had to wait 3 hours at the DMV the other day renewing my driver's license because you now have to get a Federal ID in order to travel domestically. Whoa! I declined, however, it will be mandatory by the end of the year.

Interesting. I'm not sure why you had that issue. Thanks for the input!

I think it is the dream of every human being to have a nice house to live in, a car for the family, a nice tv, the nicely manicured lawn with the picket fence, the spouse, the kids and the dog or cat or both. But as things stand now in the world, there are very few places where you can live the dream. It has become financially impossible in some places. As far as rules and regulations go, it is not only the cities. The countryside is taking a page from that book too. In many places, it is illegal to sell unpasteurized milk. I have even come across a place where goats weren't allowed. Period. So our ability to live our dreams is becoming a very small chance. Things won't change until we as individuals exercise our rights.

Some of the rules in a city are understandable. come off night shift, just get to sleep, to be woken by the neighbour's rooster,[most of whom don't know the time of day, they crow all day long]. Where everybody has their own 6 gun, it must be like the OK Corral every day.
You have moved back a couple of hundred years to when everybody had to work to live, helped their neighbour out as a friendly gesture,
Just think, in another couple of hundred years the Ozarks will be like Manhatten is today.

Nice post, nice to meet you @papa-papper

Oh Papa, why! Such a complex subject and so little time over target. We have let so many people into the country with divergent ideas and we have so many people here with different thoughts that there is no longer common ground. Without common ground there is no common sense. Without common sense how can a country have a common dream? Can you believe there are citizens in this country willing to sacrifice their own citizenship to declare a sanctuary city or state? They are an example of neo Confederates. The American dream went up in a diverse puff of smoke.

It's true. We live in a society with a lot of rules. Where there was some freedom a couple of decades ago, it feels like it's gone now. Everything is regulated. For example I live in a small Canadian village, rather green, but you should see the number of bylaws. I wanted to have some chickens to have fresh eggs in the morning, but surely it's not allowed to have them.
If I want to do some changes in my own house, I need to apply for permits which have to be paid and approved.

But it's not only that. I see lots of people becoming intolerant and jealous on each other.
I come from Belgium and in several places it's allowed to have chickens in your garden. People move from the city to the countryside and wake up with the sound of a rooster. Oh too much noise so they file a complaint with the police.
Also there were several people complaining about the sound of a playground for kids. It's too much noise.
The whole society is getting more and more intolerant. This causes more and more rules to get people to live together.

The American Dream died some years ago already. See the news report here:


:)

The american dream has began a worl dream and that's the problem. Greed is nt good but american are understanding it slowly but surely. Greed has some positive aspects obviously as well that brung us where we are in the health sector for example. Nice post mate +1 sub ! Keep it up
