There have always been very informative, and very intelligent people who helped shape our way of thinking and brought us into the 21st century. A couple come to mind as I watch the carnage, incompetence, and lack of empathy in the present day. Lets take Einstein for example when he said "There are two things in this world that are infinite, that's the Cosmos and human stupidity. Although I am not even sure of the prior". Then there is Benjamin Franklin who said "Those who are willing to sacrifice are essential liberties just to obtain a little temporary security, deserve neither liberty nor security".
Now what Einstein said apparently holds true today as not only has are government been inundated with incompetence but the very people who are governed by them seem to be lacking upstairs. How can we let BushCo. And the rest of the Neocons hijack are country and force oppression on us. While supporting his dream of Global Democracy (One World Order) for the sake of financial gain for a few of the select elite. It seems funny to me when I think about how fast the Bush administration was with the clean up and recovery of 911, yet he is completely incapable of doing the same for the Katrina disaster. Granted people have brought up the fact that it is about the less fortunate, or the race card. I doubt it's a racial thing but as far as the less fortunate are concerned. Is there really any doubt?
Regardless for the reasons the fact of the matter is simply that Bush only cares for the rich. Everything he has ever done has been for the rich. From tax relief to large contracts all the way down to the doctoring of Global warming facts. Well I guess he has done a little for the poor, you know like the "No children left behind act" of course when it comes to the poor there are always stipulations like if the school does not give the military access to the students profile for recruitment purposes then opps sorry we will have to omit you from the program. Or how about Medicaid for the elderly they are required to try some experimental drugs as part of the policy. Are you F*&%# kidding me!!
Let me just throw out a few things before I end here to solidify my point:
Companies with connections to Bush have already clinched contracts for the Katrina aftermath (or as the first lady would say Carrina) IE: Halliburton.
Lets not forget the leaking of a CIA agent Valerie Plame.
Or the killing of hundreds of thousands of innocent Iraqi civilians.
How about the abuse of "enemy combatants" with complete disregard to the Geneva Conventions.
Then there is always the supposed link between Saddam Hussein and 911.
Oh we can't leave out all them scary WMD's.
Have you had enough yet? Anybody? The clock is ticking and I fear if we don't take back are government now we will loose it forever. And to think I was once evicted from an apartment for being too loud, but one of the worst criminals of modern day gets to keep his nice pad paid for by my own hard earned cash.

It seems as though everyone feels compelled to speak out (blogging of course) about what ails them in this world. Whether it be the corruption of the US government, the Iraq war, banking system, 911, JFK the list goes on and on. Could this be the emergence of a movement or just an easy way to remain complacent and let off some steam. I for one am sick and tired of being spoon fed propaganda by our own government. Some of us realize what is going on, while others choose not to care or are simply naive.
For example: Do we really believe only 1700+ service men and women have perished in Iraq? I am sure its more in the thousands. Do we really except the lies of what really happened on 911? Are we really going to swallow the Bull from Rumsfeld, Wolfowitz, Rice, Cheney, Bush, and the rest of the Neocon army intent on sending us to the depths of hell for there own profit?
The real question, however, is not what are we going to do about it, but what can we do? There are several mild solutions, that with a critical mass might just work. Like boycott News outlets, and Newspapers. Or close your bank account to send a message that we will not be had. Without this critical mass, I just can not see it doing us any good. Maybe I'm a pessimist, maybe I have given up on the people that we need so much. Regardless one things for sure, WE MUST BE LEMMINGS NO MORE. How can we get on track?
Unfortunetly the media only reports Hollywood news, because we all care about Tom Cruise's off the wall religious belief right, or events such as the Hollaway disappearance. Although tragic, I think 100,000 Iraqis dead somehow out weighs it. Who knows maybe if someone was kidnapped and held for ransom until Bush told the truth it might, just might get the medias attention. Even then I remain skeptical.
Sooner or later our "President" will have to answer for his crimes. Whether or not it's in his own life time, is up to the American people. Will we all stand and be recognized or will we submit to the complacency that we are all to familiar with?
