Non electric anything ain't easy to find any more.

And all of these changes

And all of these changes require a lot more money each day of our lives to function and maintain. We've enslaved ourselves I guess by going down this path. I find myself daydreaming of getting "off the grid." Last month I bought a non electric coffee grinder, which aren't so easy to find anymore. Ha!

Creativity and imagination

Creativity and imagination can not be packaged and sold to a consumer.

Business only needs people to do what they're told, when they're told, at the time they're told...no discussion. If you think out of turn, you will be punished. Thinking is not allowed. That's not what you were hired for. So shut up and do your work.

There's nothing worst than seeing a problem, recognizeing what the cause it and how to fix it only to be told to mind your own business, get back to work and if you bring it up again disciplinary actions will be taken.

We've lost a lot in the quest for ever increasing corporate profit goals.

I often have the same sorts of thoughts when I see the toys that are on the market for babies. They're heavy on the flash and squeak and light on the imagination. Luckily, little kids don't know they're supposed to like them. The kids still prefer to play with the boxes!

I guess that's why I like working in wood. I can still shape it any way I want, sand it, and then stain it any shade I want. I built our base cabinets, and will replace our wall cabinets someday.

I wonder what else we have lost ? Creativity maybe or imagination ? Spontaneity ?
