A Call To Action

Lately I've been having feelings that it's time for people to stand up to the government on a local, regional, and national level. It's long overdue for people to fight back, exercise their human rights, flex their knowledge of what is right and what is wrong, and to enforce their constitutional rights given to them from 12 men fleeing persecution. I'm talking about freedom from insurance, corporations, racism, wrongful prosecution, persecution of religious or non-religious beliefs. I'm talking about avoiding enacting ridiculous laws that make hate official. History has long told stories of hate, racism, genocide, civil unrest, and encroachment and history will tell many other sides to the stories that involve fighting back, winning and losing, families torn in the process, and lives lost in vain of mad men drunk with power,men (very few women) who have raped, pillaged, and plundered for centuries.

Recent history (decades) have given us advancements as a species, has lain out what each of us knows is right, what should be repaired, and what never to do again. Apparently, Arizona, known for bottom of the barrel education, didn't read about that in their outdated history books, approved by educators and state and local governments run by old, racist, leaders with political agendas catering to the offensive. They must not have learned that it is WRONG after living through the 50s and 60s, they must have forgotten the atrocities that one race afflicted another with. They didn't learn their lesson. They didn't pass human rights down to the next generations. They didn't sit around a dinner table or a campfire and tell of fights for human rights. They didn't educate.

Now, we're there again. Arizona's elderly state government leaders crafted a bill to allow racism legal. So much for the Civil Right's Movement. So much for Rosa Parks. So much for Dr. Martin Luther King. So much for tomorrow.

These horrible feelings of fear of skin color and nationality are what will end the world, are what will end in nuclear war, are what will end humanity and the planet we ruined in greed. They will be the death of us.

Unless we turn our attention to righting the wrongs, educating the uneducated, and teaching the next generations to learn from history so as not to repeat it, we will be doomed. This must start with a protest. Action. Voices. Loud voices. Loud enough for the pent house dwellers controlling our money, freedom, and "voice" to hear us tell them 'NO'. It's unfortunate that we allow ourselves to be shoved so far down rich throats (or up rich ass holes) that we don't see the entrance to the cave closing behind us. We need to put down our lanterns and safety nets and turn back, take control, and reform the way we live. The right path will be illuminated naturally then. If we don't learn soon, we will never have the opportunity and the next great generation of change will die in vain at the hands of brainwashed, gun-weilding, government enforcers and America will be no more.

If you don't act, the wrong power will and you'll never again have the opportunity.
