My generation has no future in this world, we will all be slaves to the system, for the rest of our lives, until we all unite and make a change. As I stated before, we cannot simply work with, or against the system, we must destroy it, and start anew if we wish to make a significant change, a change for the greater good of humanity…
Once the old system is gone we must rebuild, not a system modeling the old, but a brand new one. A system without money, a system where nations no longer exist, there are no borders, no separations, be it geographic, or social, a system where every man, woman, and child can live in relative peace, knowing that they are, and always will be equal to the next man, woman, or child, no matter where they came from, or where they choose to go. Utopias aren’t a reality, and im not pushing for a utopia, just a united world, and a united species. We are all human; we are all from this earth, we will all die on this earth, this is our home, and like the old saying goes; “a home divided, cannot stand”…that goes for us too, as humans, if we are divided, eventually we will fall, and it will be our own doing…
Be the change you would like to see…
The Founding Father designed a system in a totally different context: A largely rural society, with Slavery, voting limited to about 5% of the population, and their goal was to protect the privileges and wealth of their class and assure that the 'Republic' was controlled by the wealthy. I believe seven of the first ten Presidents were slave-owners. Most did not give a flying fuck about Indians, Women or Immigrants. Many warned of the danger of the Bankers and it took a Republican President, Teddy Roosevelt to confront them head-on. As some guy on Wall Street put it: Goldman Sachs runs the country. Just look at where all the economic advisers to Presidents come from. Obama had a choice and instead of selecting Liberal Robert Reich and Paul Krugman....he opted for Sumners and Geitner (conservatives). But Obama was way overmatched. Hell, he surprised everyone by getting elected with Yes We Can (some 6th grade student no doubt came up with this) and then won the Nobel Prize for .......getting elected (wow, far out). Then, he proceeded to reach out to the Republicans and they tore him another asshole. Obama was naive in the extreme. Something else no one ever talks about: what is his relationship with Senate and House Democrats? He appears not to work very well with them. There does not seem to be much of a relationship. Now, I want everybody to get really excited about the next election since it is all about entertainment and all that bullshit. Are you ready for another year of endless Talking Head spewing bullshit for the public, fresh from the corporate media. God, I need drugs.
