As not what your country can do for you...

...because it looks grim. Perhaps it is a little too late, despite our new President working as soon as he can.

I mean there have been so many layoffs, bailouts (which is the worst "solution" a  government has ever thought of [I guess capitalism is a dying concept, huh?]), and other things hitting our failing economy, it seems the financial world is on it's last leg.

They say power in numbers, right? What exactly did they mean when they said that though? I mean did they mean power in numbers of money, numbers in weapons, or did they actually think we would buy into the fact that power in numbers means power in the number of people that support you?

Maybe they had something there. Maybe it is us that lost the meaning behind the saying. I mean if so many of us are in poverty, then why hasn't the economy become any better? I think I saw this in a class before, yeah it was a history class. They called them the "royalty" and the larger folks were called serfs, peasants, fiefs, etc.

You know they revolted against those people, and eventually they got what they rightfully should have. Of course, they're were inalienable rights no one could take away. Or at least that's how it was supposed to be *cough*prop eight*cough*

Rather than using our powerful numbers for what we need, we have used it on ignorant desires. I say unto thee, we need to come together and rise to the occasion and grasp what we need, yet we also must know what every man, woman, and child has rights that cannot be taken away.

The right to freely worship what you will, the right to freely speak, the right to defend themselves, the right to peacefully gather (assemble), the right to deny host to any guest, the right to one's own privacy and to keep one's privacy, the right to be tried by a group of one's own peers, the right to remain silent, and the right to a speedy trial.

Hmm, I guess I can see how people get confused with these rights since they have been under so many different names, Magna Carta, Bill of Rights, inalienable rights, yea I can see why you'd be confused.

Whatever, if so many people rather get up and give in to the ignorance of the few, than so be it. But if you wish to come together for something that makes a positive difference give me a call.

Smile for the camera ;)
