We have a lot on our plate as Americans these days. Things faintly seem like they are on the edge of something very bad happening. The scariest thing is that we have no leadership. It seems like everyone in Washington is in handcuffs, totally incapable of offering any hope or change in a sad state of affairs around the world. I know a lot of citizens who are concerned and long for some hope of change, but I fear that things are not in our control. I can't think of one presidential candidate on either side who gives me much hope. Why does it seem like we are continually offered Bad and Worse as our options for our elected officials in Washington?
Our government is failing us because it is not our government. It is the government of corporations, organized religion, and of itself. They are the ones electing our leaders, and it is no wonder we, the people, are being led into a giant mess, the likes of which human beings on earth have never seen. It is our corporate media, special interest groups, and a nasty little group of Washington insiders who choose our candidates. And every year it seems American voters have less variety of choice, fewer rights, and less power. The citizens and members of the American community are not in charge, but we are being governed. We are being led. We are being taught, and we are learning. We are learning to be selfish, self-centered, lonely, and totally competitive with the members of our communities, and the other human beings on earth. Is it any wonder we are terrible husbands, wives, parents, children, and relatives, and, most miserably, members of the human tribe of which we are a part?
We have a dangerous criminal government. They have nuclear weapons! Do you really think there is such a thing as "nuking them?" If we nuke them, we are nuking ourselves. No matter how far away they live, across the globe in China or Iran, we are still dropping a nuclear bomb on ourselves. We all live in the same atmosphere. We breath the same air, and whatever we do to "them" we also do to ourselves. Even when we drop smaller, non-nuclear bombs on Baghdad, we are breathing that crap in at some point. How can we all be so dumb? Do we really believe that cancer rates all over the world started going up after our nuclear bombing of Japan just because we've been smoking cigarettes and drinking too much, and eating too much food? That's what our lying government has been telling us so we don't hold them accountable for the truth, which is that it is their idiotic, and criminal manipulation of our mother earth and our atmosphere that is killing us in these disgusting, and unnatural ways. Do you think the cigarettes are killing us? We breath in more smoke from smog and pollution and all sorts of nastiness straight from the chemical factories, coal burning power plants, carbon burning motors, giant cow pastures, corporate farming developments, and shipping fleets, (which transport crap products from as far away as possible so we can consume them and overpack the pockets of corporations and their paid off madmen employees and owners) than we do from smoking cigarettes. They are killing the future for coming generations, our offspring. We are letting them.
Will somebody please take the power away from these madmen in Washington? We need to bring back Federalism. States rights should be paramount. We should turn the White House into a museum of the atrocious behavior of America, from the genocide we committed on a Native People on sacred land in order to gain the right to rape it, to slavery, to the criminal military campaigns of the past few hundred years, to the present nightmare greedhead show that is being perpetrated all over the world by the "freemarket" and it's Washington supporters.
Wake up people, the free-market is enslaving the human race. Do we want a free market, or a free people? Land of the free, home of the brave, has become land of the free market and home of the greedy consumer. We need to start going to AA meetings, all of us. Americans Anonymous. My name's Andrew and I'm an American. I'm humiliated, disgusted, and ready for a change. We are addicted to raping our mother around here. It is sick and twisted, selfish, and horrific. One oil well, city, building, farm, space-station, and highway after another we are threatening the whole natural order which is a result of hundreds of thousands of years of evolution. We are being trained by brainless leaders we created out of ignorance. Our leaders are not people, they are institutions. They don't care for our well-being, they care for our overpopulation, loneliness, misery, and fear. We are better consumers under such conditions.
As a people we need to learn to want what we have, and stop letting these psychotic institutions from continually training us to want what we don't have. As citizens we need to tear down this criminal government, and bring back democracy. This land is my land, this land is your land, this land is made for you and I. This land is not made for them to consume and destroy.
