The Toilet Bowl
I'm appalled by the state of the world. The United States Government is leading us into utter destruction; but according to the right-wing, neo-conservatists, everything is just fine. One thing that has been crystallized in my thinking over the last several months is, history definitely repeats itself.
What do I mean? Our liberties are being eroded, little by little, and the mainstream pretends not to even notice. Check out the Patriot Act. If that is too theoretical, check out what is going on in California, with the proposal to mandate the installation of GPS on all cars, in order to tax people based on how much they drive. What the fuck?
Let me remind you, taxation without representation is not okay. Any proposal to introduce a new tax should be struck down immediately. It is not that the governments don't have enough money. It is that they mis-manage the funds they do have. We should demand accountability for every dollar spent. They often tell us that the money will go toward education, but this is just publicity (i.e. propaganda) in order to appeal to our hearts. We should know by now that they lie all the time in order to cover their real agendas. Lies, lies, lies are all around us. Where is the love?
I'm not advocating a physical revolution, but a spiritual evolution. We are living in a toilet bowl, where excrement floats all around us. The biggest problem is, we are so immune to it-- the lies, deceit and violence-- that we don't realize that we are about to be flushed with the rest of the filth. The best way to beat this situation is to rise above it. I'm calling for a paradigm shift. The governments and bureaucrats are dinosaurs. They claim to know what is best for us, but they don't. Do you really believe they have our best interests at heart? They say that we need more cops on the streets, but how much crime do cops actually stop?
My experience with law enforcement is that they do more to antagonize citizens than to actually protect them. Even after being victimized by a crime, the only function they seem to provide is that of keeper of records. What about investigation? It depends on how high profile the crime is. For example, my home was burglarized a couple years ago. The police came out and collected fingerprints, shoeprints and other evidence. Our next door neighbor had just moved out and we were convinced that he was the perpetrator. Everything that was stolen was in a strategic place that would be known only by someone who had been inside our home; and this guy had a history of dealing with stolen electronics and DVDs (I know I should have known better). Sure enough, these were the exact items that came up missing. The police filled out a report, and we were assigned a detective. We gave the detectives the prime suspect on a silver platter, and explained the reasons why we believed that he perpetrated the crime. We even managed to get a copy of his driver's license from the apartment management company. After several weeks, the only response we were able to get from the detective was that the suspect said he didn't do it... Huh?
Isn't that what suspects do? Isn't it human nature not to incriminate one's self? When we asked about the fingerprints and shoeprint found, we were told that the lab would not investigate it further because it was not a priority. They had more important crimes to investigate like rape and murder. Now I agree that those crimes are more important than the theft of a few personal items (by the way, a handgun was one of the items taken); however, isn't that why detectives are categorized into specific units (homicide, vice, etc.)? Doesn't this insure prioritization? I am sure that my case was assigned to a detective that deals with burglaries, not murder! So doesn't that mean that the system does not work? Either way, the detective did not do what she was paid by taxpayers to do. She did not properly and thoroughly investigating my case.
But go five miles over the speed limit and they are all over your ass. Why? Because tickets and infractions bring in revenue.
This is just one small example of why the system sucks. I'm sure that each one of you reading this can think back to at least one instance in your life where the system has not worked when it should have. If you can not, and you are over the age of eighteen, I have two words of advice for you-- Wake up!
The purpose of this blog is to open the eyes of humanity. We are caught in the midst of a world that will not last. Either we evolve, or be destroyed with it.
