Wil's Rant

I read an interesting article in relation to the rioting in France. What's interesting about these riots is that they were not religiously motivated. People from many faiths took part. The author relates the underlying problems of class separation that persist to this day in virtually every part of the world. This separation is getting worse, not better, and demonstrates a fundamental problem with the way our whole planet currently operates. If we can just manage to keep the internet free, it will likely be the trigger that allows people to take back control of our planet and lives. The best tools we have are knowledge, truth, and freedom. We have to face all those ugly details that in the past we have been content to let our leaders deal with in secret. So long as we didn't know about it, everything was O.K. Whenever it became public that perhaps someone was involved with something particularly ugly we would all be in an uproar. This despite the fact that activists have been telling us the truth about the given matter for years, but too few were interested. So is it our leaders fault for dealing with these matters as they saw fit, when we didn't want to know? Or is it our fault for not paying attention and insisting on the truth and ethical internal policies? It's ours, plain and simple. The world must change on almost every level. Each region and culture has it's particular strengths. Taken as a whole we could achieve a truly great society capable of feeding and housing everyone. As citizens of this planet, it's time that we insist that this is done.
