Consumerism costs your heart and soul.

"Research shows that intrinsic values not only promote personal, social, and ecological well-being, but can also act to immunize people against materialism. It's that see-saw again. As intrinsic values go up, materialistic values tend to go down. So part of the trick is to build a life that expresses your intrinsic values. That might involve spending more time with people you care about, finding meaningful work, even if it pays less, or taking part in volunteer opportunities for causes you care about."

You heard the man. Love what you do and you'll have a better life. Remember that, everyone, ever, as you go from high-school, to college, to the real world.

If you watch the video and really pay attention, you'll see characteristics described that you see in people you know, and you can learn a lot about them when you connect the dots.

Society's Got Me Shaking My Head Once Again.

With that being said, let me tell you why.

At a conference in Baltimore last week, a group of psychologists and mental health professionals decided that "that "minor-attracted" individuals are largely misunderstood and should not be criminalized."

"Minor-attracted" is code for "nasty old pedophile."

That's right folks, society has made yet another leap downwards.

The psychologists and mental health professionals that are saying this, or as I'll be referring to them from now on, the psychos and mental people, think that pedophiles should have their say in how society views them, and should be able to change how pedophilia is defined in the DSM, or the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders by the American Psych Association.

In my mind, that sounds a little bit like saying "hey, crazy menace to society, why don't you change around how we define "menace to society" so that you and your pedophile friends can run around freely.

Are we going to let murderers define murder now? "I know I stabbed him in the head eight times, but he was homeless, and section 6 of the Psychotic Murderer Handbook Pocket Edition says it's okay to kill hobo's and bums, so it doesn't really matter." This, of course, is an equivocation, but you get my point.

Individuals at the conference who were using their brains were like, "you know, this kind of seems like a sham to make kids accessible to adults." One Professor even said "Oh, they're very clear about that. Their goal is to take all shame out of the lust for children."

If anything, I think society should listen to Jerry LaVigne Jr.

So there you have it;
