Where do I go from here
Over a thousand posts, although it's been some time since I felt inspired. I guess I got to the point where I felt I've pretty much said all I had to say. A lot of people are saying pretty much the same things as I, many if not most, with more eloquence and raw facts to back up their points than I will ever have. Far from being depressed by that fact, I find it heartening. People are starting to face on mass that the system is broken. I think the vast majority would vote socialist if they weren't so scared that it would descend into another USSR or China.
Perhaps we might start with something simpler, basically another Bill of Rights, or whatever else we might choose to call it. A statement of a set of basic rights and goals that we as a society can all agree on. There are a great many basic ideas that all socially ethical humans can agree on regardless of race or religion. The concept that people should not be thrown out of there homes by banks, they should all have food and clothing, education and health care, all the basic amenities of life. One human should never be able to profit from the suffering of another. I think coming up with an agreement across all portions of society, other the the filthy rich, should be fairly simple.
I think a revolution on a global scale is coming. What form it takes remains to be seen. The alternative is to stand back and watch as the human race self-destructs and take the planet along with us. If we act now, we can control the path of the future before the inevitable chaos which is sure to come if we don't. We can no longer wait for our self serving politicians and their financial sector controllers to decide our fate. We must assume personal responsibility for what is to come. None of us can afford to sit this one out.
