As the world we live in seems to spiral more out of control, with economic collapse and continued war on the horizon, there are a few things to think about and perhaps even try to change our attitudes. I was recently remarking to a friend about all the potential good YouTube has squandered for itself. Just think about it: A site where anybody can produce a video sharing philosophical, political, and cultural ideas. Sounds amazing, right? Well that was YouTube’s gift to the world–grassroots expression, but they have wasted it. This is not to say that those videos don’t exist–they do, but you have to sift through the masses of junk and smut to get to them. It seems like humanity rather watch Miss South Carolina videos and amateur musicians and horrible Japanese shows than enter into a dialogue about reality. Oh well, another vessel that western culture has completely tarnished. Looks like our job as the worlds biggest dumpers of trash just continues on.
On another note: one website I came across as I am currently looking into buying a house was a mortgage site. First Atlantic seems to be stumbling down the same path the rest of the beleaguered mortgage industry is and still offering Option ARMS–hey those were the things that go the whole industry into this mess and now you want to push them!?! Well, if you can stay way from signing onto an Option ARM then check out how this mortgage site looks. Simplicity and crisp information proves that all that flash just isn’t worth it. I didn’t apply, but was impressed with their website.
