The State of our World...

I have noticed that a lot of people are pretty unhappy with the state of affairs here in the United States and even other countries. We need not look very far to see how upset many people are. We can look in our own states to see union fights, protests and general un-happiness with the system. We can look over-seas and see rebel forces in Libya attempting to take control of their own destinies.

Why is it that we often fight with each other instead of going after the main source of our dismay? We see it all the time, you and I will fight about petty things while our governments sit back and laugh about it. They know that as long as you and I, the citizens fight with each other we will be too busy to see what our governments are really doing. It reminds me of a famous quote which says, "divide and conquer".

You see, the state of this world can only get better when you and I make it better. Our governments would love nothing more than to stay in power and do what they always do. They know that 99% of the population is just too lazy or scared to do anything about them and as long as we continue to be lazy and scared, we will get the exact same deplorable service that the government gives us.

People seem to forget (and so does the government) that we the people, the citizens are the ones who own this country. The government is put in place by you and I and they work for us. Over the years the government has done a very good job of making you think that you work for them and that they are the ones who control this country. This of course is wrong and they know it. They know that the people are the ones who control the country but they don't want you to know that. The moment that everyone wakes up and says no more, the government will be in deep trouble. So they will do whatever they can to keep you fooled so they can continue to destroy our economy, make trillions in taxes off of our backs, and take more freedoms away from us.

So what exactly will it take for people to wake up and understand that we need to take our country back? How many freedoms do we have to lose to be shocked into action? How much more in taxes are you willing to pay before you say no more? What exactly is it that will trigger the patriot in you?

This world is lead by corrupt people who have no reason to care about you and I. They only care about power and money and if they can squeeze you and I, their little slaves, they will squeeze until we can't breathe anymore. Even an idiot would try to escape a large snake that was trying to kill them by squeezing them to death. Why do you allow the government (a corrupt snake) to squeeze you?

Revolution is happening all over the world right now and the most recent is Libya. Our government said that we went to Libya to protect civilians from the Libyan government who is using force to stop the uprising. My question for you is this, if we in the United States were to rise up against our government, do you really think that they would not fire on us? I think I can say with confidence that our government would shoot at us. They would do whatever they had to do to keep us down and keep their hold on power. So remember this if revolution ever happens here. There are lessons to be learned.

Do I believe that revolution will happen here? Not a chance because again, people are lazy or scared and they would never be willing to take a chance at true freedom.
