Answering the Call … (02/21/15)
Well, here we are in early 2015, and the 2016 campaign tactics are already in full swing. Yes, they might be thinly disguised as unjust acts of war or vapid arguments over domestic policies that will inevitably bear no fruit, and yet these are the mere precursors to the mass-charade that is election-year politics in the United States of America … How shameful it remains that at a time your supposed “leaders” (regardless of their party affiliation) should be striving to help make your communities thrive and your lives better, they are instead working around the clock to ensure their own continued lives of ease & sloth.
Well, even though there is nothing you can do so stop this onslaught of selfishness or prevent such flagrant greed-grabs, you are not completely helpless in this matter. You CAN respond effectively to their corruption — by not responding at all.
Yes, my Friends, it is high-time you stopped enabling politicians in undermining your life, in embarrassing your country, and indeed in destroying your planet. It is high-time you showed them exactly what you think of them — by ignoring them completely. It is high-time you showed them exactly what they are currently worth to you & yours — namely, absolutely NOTHING.
Amen … Let it finally be so.
“American democracy has become a business plan, with a clear bottom line for every person’s activity, every citizen’s dream, every voter’s hope. Both primary parties are now devoted to exactly the same economic policies — gentle socialism for the rich and brutal capitalism for the poor — and the same foreign policy of servility to endless war. This is not democracy … America is to politics what McDonalds is to food.” ~ inspired by John Pilger
