Starting the Revolution Part 1
I am being held down by the Man right now. Capitolism, which also stole my virginity at age 15, has me more focused on getting a teaching job at the moment.
It is not that I am lazy, as Senator Clinton feel everyone of my age is. However, the question must be raised, how has this government benefitted from the apathy of the American people? I think this wil be a common theme is many of my ramblings.
On with the Show....
I am clutch, and clutch is everything in life. Quite frankly, that is the biggest problem facing America today. Leadership in Washington, on both sides of the isle, feels it is best to speak to the American public like we are children, which has caused a regression of capable people willing to seek real change for the improvement of our world. Those that do are cast off as heretics. Those that are in power sustain power for power's sake. Since they do not feel challenged by the American people, as long as they are not being indicted, there is no reason to step up to the plate and be a clutch performer. It is time we start making some noise, not about the evils of the current administration, but a system that allows for evil to be perpetrated consistently across political lines and feeds off of apathy.
How do we start?
Education. We must take the conceptions created by Pualo Freire and John Dewy to heart and practice an open minded form of education that seeks to not only instill academic skills but also empower students to recognize the social injustices in our society and challenge them to learn to use the social skills that can destroy these injustices when put into practice.
Politcal Action. Do not accept crap. If crap exists, write the newspaper or call the TV news to expose the wasted efforts that eat away at our democracy. Run for office. We can change the system from within. Protest. Your voice not only matters, but is vital for the development of anything new. It is the easiest, cheapest way to give people a chance to pause and reflect on the matters causing the most concern to the world.
Read. Take time to consume as much information on anything and everything. The powers that be have read, and they do not want you to do the same. The best way to stick it the elite is to use their own weapons against them. Books, articles, and journals provide the information needed to generate ideas and concepts beyond what we are provided by the rest of the our 24 hour cable news culture.
Write. The forefathers and the Shawshank Redemption provide us with a blueprint. All it takes is time and pressure. The written word is the common man's AK-47.
Be Friendly. Go out and have relationships with people different then you. It is a good way to blow off steem and for a brief time, not worry that the weight of the world is on your shoulders. Just be respondsible with what you allow into your body!
