In 1776 a young Thomas
Paine wrote "Perhaps the sentiments contained in the following pages, are
not YET sufficiently fashionable to procure them general favor; a long habit of
not thinking a thing WRONG, gives it a superficial appearance of being RIGHT,
and raises at first a formidable outcry in defense of custom. But the tumult
soon subsides. Time makes more converts than reason". The pamphlet was
" common sense" and helped spark the American revolution. How "the
people" repaid this man especially at the end of his life is another
story. I seem to catch on much quicker than others so forgive me if you do not
yet agree with the following:
This country is broken
and moving toward fascism. We don't need a change in government we need a
change of government. When dissent is stifled, arbitrary laws are enacted, and
the criminal justice system has become a profit making beast that employs lowly
taught obedient savages called police who haven't the brains to think a thing
wrong, something has to be done. The wealthy corporate fascist who run this
country use politics and wedge issues to turn the people against each other
while they rape and pillage the country and exploit the world.
H. L. Mencken said
"Nobody ever went broke underestimating the intelligence of the American
public" they haven't, in fact they became filthy rich. The people will get
the government they deserve and I don't think George Orwell was far off when he
said "If you want a vision of the future, imagine a boot stamping on a
human face - forever". I'm only one man, so while all of you are attending
the modern bread and circuses called "news" and "elections"
I'll do the only thing one can living in an age of still primitive people,
refuse to participate. If you truly want to know who is to blame, look in the
mirror.
