"I want you to get mad!"

The psyche of the modern man is, in the opinion of many, fractured and distorted. The traditional peoples would say that we are disconnected from our souls. We are too much in search for the next Big Mac rather than the next Big Idea. Although we are facing grave global problems in the economy, resources and the environment, we talk about it as if we were discussing it hypothetically. Our leaders talk about economic meltdown like they were discussing the traffic getting into work. The emotions don't fit the discourse. Emotions are meant to move us. They are the motivation to action. It stands to reason, that if we don't emote in a manner to match our words, our words shall remain words and appropriate actions will not flow from our words. What did Howard Beale in the movie Network say... "I want you to get mad!"

Here is Gerald Celente matching his emotions to his words. He's mad as hell because he sees us all heading towards World War III and we're letting our leaders take us there unchallenged. Our hearts need to catch up with our heads.

Sobering viewing. Celente at his best.
