In this historically trying time where people are scared, angry, and hateful. We must remember who we are as a species. We have a tendency to let our emotions get the better of us. Without really trying to find out what caused these situations. This goes for both sides of the Isle and I admit I have let my emotions get to me as well. We must each take some time to look inside ourselves and do a critical analysis. No one is perfect because there is no such thing as perfection. if there were this would be a pretty dull place. Everyone has their own ideas and opinions but before we go out there and committing acts of violence on one another and before families become so far damaged that they can not be repaired let us take a few minutes to reflect on ourselves. this is something most of us do not do or even know how to do.
We all feel the pain of our current economy. We are all struggling. This is just like in the 60’s and 70’s when protesters would spit on vets and call them baby killers. Which was wrong. Just like back then the elitist class with which both Clinton and Trump are a part of are pitting us against ourselves so they can control us with our own fears and hate. Why? Because it is easy to do when we are all distracted with family issues, working long hours, and just trying to get by. it has been like this for thousands of years. There is one thing that is different now than in the past our level of Technology.
Look at what the possibilities we have the power to change this world for the better if we just have the will to do so. The rich are not always the smartest people in the world. Some of them just inherited their wealth, some worked for it and others have stolen it from honest hard-working people. We give more help to the big corporations that give huge bonuses to their CEOs for maximizing profits by underpaying those they need to run their businesses like: Cashiers, cooks and stock people. We the citizens of this world need to focus on bring the power to the people. Not the elites. We know whats best for us not people who have not spent much time in the failing economy that we are in. We are the ones with the real power that most of us don’t realize we have. I do not condone violence in any way. This is why here in America we have the first Amendment. As a reminder here it is. “Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion; or prohibition the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, press; or the right of the people to peaceably assemble, and to petition the Government for redress of grievances .”
The the right to Peaceably assemble if the right to protest which has been used so much over the Past One Hundred or so years. Martin Luther King used it to fight the Jim Crow laws and the right to vote as a full human, Women used it to get the right to vote and to have control of their own bodies, and LGBT used it to get the right to marry. We now need to use this again so that we may have a fair and free society and to keep the peace. This is going to be a huge hurdle for us to climb but we can do it if we work together as one. We must set aside our differences to focus on this goal. We need to hold our leaders feet to the fire and makesure they are doing what is best for all of us not just the privileged few.
This is our time to shine and rise to the Occasion.
We have the power and the brains to make this possible.
Otherwise this civilisation will go the way so many before have gone and collapse in on itself.
Peace be with you all
