Manifest Destiny. A New Deal. Peace Now! Trickle Down Economics. Change You Can Believe In.
These slogans all define or defined a generation in my opinion. I find that in today's ever shifting political landscape, financially ruined economy, fear driven populace and culturally devoid sub-divisions we're facing a dilemma which is systematic in nature and linked by one universal ineptitude that we all harbor inside ourselves; the need to be lead.
Throughout time Man has proven that it is incapable of responsible self governance. We have proven that no matter what the factors involved in our decision making that we will always choose disorder over social harmony. The past five hundred years of human social development have proven the point and I only need to direct any nay sayers to their high school history books to backup my theory.
What we have become-in the U.S. anyways-is a nation with no real sense of civil responsibility in our politicians, no communal equality amongst our citizens and no offers of olive branch foriegn affairs amongst our policy makers. We need to be lead. We've proven that. We've proven that a natural leader, no matter how assinign his or her ideals, is a welcomed addition to any body politic.
Our nation has become truelly a nation of divided loyalities, split ideals and unbalanced inequality that is so dependant on the top down philosophies that our valued ruling class has instituted for us that those at the bottom are finding not only their loyalties misplaced but their house keys as well while their "trusted leaders in banking" walk away with them both.
I only write to rile your caulder, folks. Your money isn't mine, your vote isn't mine and arguably neither is your trust. I only write these kind words to point out that our system of governance is failing. I only point out it's failing to highlight that our "Dream" is dying. I only announce this obviousness to ask you to rethink where you put your trust.
As an aside; I recieved a bit of religious hate mongering in the mail today. It was a dvd that was supposedly aired on CNN and Fox about Islam's-not even radical Islam, just Islam-obsession with the complete and utter destruction of the West. I decided to photograph it right next to my Journalism notes and text book to show you what we're being fed and what both sides are feeding us is nothing but a bag of the same.
Demand better from those you trust. Walk a fucking tighter rope, people. Call for dissent and regulations. It's not just your fucking money on the line, it's your fucking children's future.
