What if we questioned why it is so tempting for so many to argue FOR a system of people controlling people? Seriously. Think about it. When you start asking questions like "Why does my government commit murder in my name?" or "Why are some people and corps seemingly beyond reproach while truth-sayers are hounded and bound?", is it not interesting that the same cliched responses bubble up to DEFEND this obvious corruption? Years of indoctrination taught us to conflate ourselves with our government as if it is a necessary evil, or even a god. So to question it is to question ourselves. And no one wants to acknowledge their limitations when mouths are full of tasty cheap libations. But seriously: how about those rulers we unnecessarily choose and support? What if we were to allow ourselves to notice how their actions and words do not match? Do we really value peace? Then acknowledge, please, that we live in a system of coercion, from the bottom to the top. From the forced indoctrination called education to the forced taxation to fund the political circus of fools disguised by suits and ties and always helping their favorite friends, making laws and wars so I ask you: are you really more happy or safe? With technology improving in leaps and bounds, have you not questioned why your dollar buys less with each year we zoom and doom this planet around? Do you tuck your head and keep a low profile in hopes that somehow the entity growing all around us, sucking us dry, will for some reason decide to let go of the power it has? That its parasitic existence is actually necessary? That we can not choose to remove the training wheels? The weakest excuse is to choose the obvious monster in our midst for fear of what might spring up, were it to be banished. We have the water and seeds to grow flowers and fruit in this garden, if enough of us merely choose to acknowledge the weeds and merely stop feeding them.
