Divided

Why do we keep falling for the same old tricks over and over. We are suppose to get smarter from one generation to the next. Now we do know more then any other generation but that doesn't make us smarter. Scientist think man has gotten smarter over time but it is possible that a cave man had a higher capacity for learning then we do today. I mean how many of you could survive in their environment. I think we have already proven through reality TV show that not very many. So if we are not smarter are we doomed. The truth is maybe so. In a little over the last hundred years we have polluted the crap out of our planet, Wiped hundreds of species of the face of the earth, unnecessarily starved millions of people, Killed hundreds of thousands in war and genocide, thrown away billions of perfectly good items because the were a few years old, and turned our backs on almost every problem we have ever faced unless there was huge public outcry or money could be made solving it. I do want to say that a lot of people spent their lives fixing problems and were not motivated by money. But I'm not talking about individuals. I'm talking about our societies.

So I don't want to depress you so lets look at some of the things we have accomplished. We invented the car, TV, Computers, Space travel, Bio Crops, Cell phones, Pesticides, vaccines, Steel, Sky Scrapers, Railroads, Guns, Planes, and if you took your time you could probable think of hundreds more. The Problem is that most of these things are not necessary to our survival. Everything that was necessary for our survival was discovered by cave men. how do I know this, because we are here.

So now that brings me around to my next point. sorry It took so long. How come we spend so much time fighting each other over total BS. The Corporations and Governments and the wealthy that control both have been dividing us for hundreds of years and we just keep falling for it. I always liked the saying "The definition of crazy is to keep doing the same thing over and over expecting different results". What the hell is wrong with us. Why do we insist on being sheep and just believing what ever they tell us. I think one reason is because it's easier. How come whenever somebody accuses the government or a corporation of ruining their lives, we either don't care or we just ignore the problem.

How come we let British Petroleum dump billion of gallons of oil into our gulf, Spray illegal chemical on it to sink it to the bottom, Pay a one time miniscule amount when they owe the people of the gulf billions, How come that is not on the news every single night until the problem is solved. I'll tell you why, because it didn't affect you directly and you let the American government and the President of the United States of America Give a multi billion dollar foreign company that doesn't even pay taxes here a free pass. That is the equivalent of you drinking and driving and killing a whole bus load of school children and the local police department makes you clean up just the glass from the accident and then you reach into your pocket and pull out a wadded twenty three dollars and fifteen cents and hand it to the cop who takes you to your house and tell you to have a good night. If that doesn't piss you off I don't know what will.

 

If your a republican or an independent or the tea party or a democrat it doesn't matter. you're all guilty of the same thing. If you don't think that you are responsible for letting this crap continue then you are not swimming in reality. As a matter of fact if your a die hard of any of these parties then your probable more to blame because that means your brainwashed into thinking everybody else is wrong therefore your drinking the Kool-Aid that allows this crap to go on year after year. I think we need to start a new party that doesn't give a crap about Public relations, corporations, foreign relations or any other crap that stands in the way of doing the right thing.

 

Hell maybe I'm living in a fantasy land and we are doomed to argue our way into oblivion. I know for a fact their a lot more people in the united states that want to correct or mistakes instead of ignoring them. We need to stop being sheep and letting the minority tell us how it's going to be. How come when the news paper writes that a school called the cops on a six year old for telling somebody that he was going to kill them there isn't a thousand parents telling that school district if the don't pull their heads out of you know what that we are going to vote every board member out and replace them all with . . . . well not idiots. When I was in grade school boys told each other all the time they were going to kill each other or that their dad was going to beat up the others father and guess what it never happened.

 

Just because their has been some school shooting which I am totally sympathetic too doesn't mean I'm willing to let the five percent rule the ninety five percent. Kicking a kid out of school will not keep you child safe. If you think it will your an idiot. Lets look at the facts. It's against the law for any child to have possession of a fire arm without adult supervision, It's against the law for kids to take a fire arm to school, it's against the law for anyone to discharge a fire arm within most cities limits or point a gun at anyone that they can't legally shoot.  Oh and the first school shooting I ever heard of in 1978 involve a kid that had been suspended. Oh and don't forget when those people rallied to have all those laws passed that I just talked about, they all said that they would keep bad things from happening. Guess what, didn't work.

 

Just because you don't have any steak in the game doesn't mean you shouldn't be fighting what's right. If everyone would stand up for what the believe in instead of letting a bunch of selfish jackasses yell and scream like idiots on TV then we would get what's best for us and the world too. If we had used common sense all along maybe this country wouldn't be as far as it is today with technology and such but we also wouldn't have had slaves or the civil war so who knows it might have grown twice as fast. 

 

Do you think we need a multi billion dollar corporation to survive? If you said that we do and listed jobs and the economy as reasons then you haven't learned a damn thing by reading this. If you answered no, congratulations, your on you way.
