It's like a jungle sometimes it makes me wonder how I keep from going under. These were the words of a young emcee on the New York streets, but just as easily could have been a person in any corner of this planet. We live in the greatest country in the world, yet our international standing is on the decline. We maim countless persons each and every day in the name of fighting terror while throughout the world various global conflicts of various sizes are ongoing at an increasing rate.
We are worried about considering something that happened years ago genocide when right at this very moment that same thing is taking place in parts of Africa, and what can we do? What is there to do? It seems hopeless. Some people think that it's inevitable. Some people think that fundamentalist terrorists are to fault.
I say we look at ourselves first. I say that you and I are to blame. Why are we blaming the President for getting us into this mess when we the people are a greater mass than this one person. Yes he leads our country but he is only one man, a man who is being pulled in many directions by forces that are not the will of the people.
People forget though, forget that the whole is greater than its pieces. Our purpose here is to function. No more no less, we are to try and do what we can to survive. In the days of an increasing global economy I think it's time to band together and realize that there is a way. We need to stop waiting for that bright holiday and make it happen now.
They have the armies but we have the power, we are the people. We need to stop taking for granted the values inherent in the people. We need to do what we can do quell the primal urge for self preservation and realize that this need will be met the more we work together.
The revolution will not be televised, it will take place on the new media, the one we control. If we take the control back, if we develop the system necessary, if we can get together, we can be free. The jungle will once again be ours and we will undertake it.
