We can't accomplish anything by just hoping things will get better. Nothing will change unless and until we are committed to make the necessary changes in the way things work politically and economically in the world. As long as all the power and pretty much all the money is in the hands of a handful of folks who inherited it, the human race is in trouble. And people of color, who have been exploited the most by those with the power to define, will continue to suffer the most.changeseekerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18350201531677548579noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16645996.post-70548970875186616112011-02-05T18:11:49.118-06:002011-02-05T18:11:49.118-06:00what's more, the empire must be overthrown. th...what's more, the empire must be overthrown. this isn't something that will unwind dialectically, of its own accord. this is a bloody empire. our country is a holding-ground to some of the most notorious criminal acts in modern history, and we put all previous empires to shame on scale or off. what we...excuse me--what THEY do and then profess to do are entirely separate and duplicitous. <br /><br />There's no other war but class war.Benji Germishhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15897724877429592997noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16645996.post-11995309910877161042011-02-05T18:08:00.849-06:002011-02-05T18:08:00.849-06:00Even if it beget new corruption, democracy must be...Even if it beget new corruption, democracy must be dealt to the peoples of these countries. The answer is never containment when the question is one of a society's degree of liberty. It is always a risk, as we in this country have found out, going back 300+ years. It continues. Look at present-day France, in many ways the most advanced Social Contract around, and looks who's in charge there! Those in office are always secondary to the mood of the people. We can move mountains, if organized. We can throw the earth off its axis. <br /><br />-peace in the valley, <br />benjaminBenji Germishhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15897724877429592997noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16645996.post-55121213724877915382011-01-31T17:27:47.231-06:002011-01-31T17:27:47.231-06:00Art: I agree.
