Mountain out of a Mole Hill

Mole Hill Mountain I feel like I’ve known too many of this type of person in my life; this type of sinister and untrusting person that Allie Fox is. Perhaps not to the extreme as Fox himself but there seem to be plenty of people nowadays who think that they know better and more than the current institution gives us. Frankly I’m getting slightly annoyed by it. This current volatile political situation that we’re in opens up alleyways for all kinds of radical and extremists who think the government is only out to screw us over and dominate the entire world. I have sat audience to so many people preaching about the changes that need to be made NOW and all of the conspiracies of the government that must be brought to an end. It’s such bolax sometimes! (Yes, I said “bolax”) I guess I sort of put myself up to it by choosing to live in one of the most liberal cities in the country and study in one of the most liberal universities in the country, but sometimes I just look at these radical activists and think that they just go too far. You know, maybe the government is NOT out to get us, we just elected a president who doesn’t know what he’s doing.
In the case of the Fox family, these radical and highly unsatisfied feelings end up getting them into real trouble. Now I haven’t yet finished the whole book, but when I do I’m almost positive I will not be reading about their amazing success in the jungle; I’ll be reading about how it was an epic fail. (I’m pretty sure that’s how it’ll turn out =/ ) It will all have come from the inability of Allie to remain satisfied with what amazing opportunities America’s got and focusing only on the mass consumerism as a bad thing. There is even an expression that fits this situation exactly, it goes, “Don’t make a mountain out of a mole hill.”
