Don't Mistake Ignorance for Innocence

You are being lied to. You have not been given all the information. You have only seen or heard one side of the argument. You do not have enough information to make a logical judgment on the current events taking place in our society. I challenge you to read and research what you disagree with. Once you have researched these issues thoroughly, come to me and tell me where you stand and why in a logical sense. A lack of research and understanding on certain matters (ignorance) is the biggest enemy to progression in our country. There is no logic backing up a lot if the ideas that are being pushed by the majority.
There are so many great theorists and ideas. There are still great thinkers. There were great thinkers in our history. Someone needs to combine all of the great ideas into one grand theory. This grand theory needs to simplify all of these combined ideas, the ideas with potential need to be kept and any unrealistic portions thrown out. This grand theory needs to be marketed. Why is it that the media can only display right-winged lies.
If I were to ask you these questions, would you have answers:
What is socialism? What is communism? And how do they differ? (that’s right, they aren’t interchangeable) And what are the negative parts of each idea? Who was Karl Marx or Vladimir Lenin?
What is involved in the Health Care Reform bill passed by Obama’s administration? What are the negatives of the bill?
What are the Bush Tax Cuts and the tax cuts for oil companies in place? How long have they been effective? What is the No Child Left Behind act?
What are your thoughts on the free-market system? Do you know the statistics of international trading? Do you know the numerous nations that the United States of America is in debt to?
Is there a correlation between level of education and religious beliefs? Could you explain your thoughts on nature vs nurture and which you believe has the most effect on an individual? (if your answer doesn’t include a little of both… your ignorant) What did Darwin really teach?
Who was Buddha? Jesus? Muhammad? What is Taoism? Who was Mao Zedong and what does the term Red China mean? Who was Ghandi?
Not that you should know all of these in depth, but my point is that the majority of people could only answer one, maybe two of these questions…. Even in the basic sense. I could have asked hundreds of other questions.
Here’s the sad part… I could ask questions about movies, tv shows, mainstream music, a new brand of phone or computer or video game and the American people will have a much easier time answering those questions. Why is this? BECAUSE AMERICANS DO NOT CARE ABOUT WHAT IS TRULY IMPORTANT! AMERICANS CANNOT SEE PAST THE NOSE ON THEIR FUCKING IGNORANT FACE! They would rather watch American Fucking Idol, Jersey Shore, The Bachelor, celebrity gossip or Glenn Beck’s fucking joke of a program than to try and learn about why our nation is on a downward slope to a hell mess.
We would rather listen to and support artists that do not use their talents for charity or making a difference in the world. We would rather promote fucked up retards like Charlie Sheen, Mel Gibson or Britney Spears than those that live their lives with dignity.
 WHAT THE FUCK IS WRONG WITH AMERICA! Why do we patronize celebritieS? Especially, ones like Donald Trump or Sarah Palin? WHAT THE FUCK IS THE MEDIA DOING TO OUR NATION? WHY ARE WE ALLOWING CELEBRITIES TO BECOME POLITICIANS? WHY ARE WE ALLOWING TECHNOLOGY TO GET OUT OF HAND? WHY ARE WE BUYING INTO THE SCHEMES OF TECHNOLOGY CORPORATIONS AND BUYING USELESS PRODUCT AFTER USELESS PRODUCT? WHY ARE WE ALLOWING CORPORATIONS TO MONOPOLIZE AND DESTROY LOCAL BUSINESS? WHY DO WE ALLOW RELIGIOUS ZAGNUTS TO LIE AND USE US FOR MONETARY GAIN? WHY DO WE ALLOW THE RICH AND GAS COMPANIES TO HAVE LARGER TAX BREAKS THAN THE AVERAGE MAN? WHY DOES OUR JUSTICE SYSTEM ALLOW THE RICH TO PAY FOR CRIMES AND THE POOR TO BE SENTENCED? WHY DOES ONLY THE RICH GET THEIR DISEASES CURED? WHY DO WE NOT BALANCE TRADE WITH OTHER NATIONS? WHY DO CEO’S, POLITICIANS, MUSIC ARTISTS AND SPORTS STARS GET PAID MILLIONS WHEN THERE ARE SICK, HOMELESS AND DYING IN OUR NATION? WHY DO WE PAY HIGH PRICES FOR A NON-RENEWABLE SOURCE LIKE GASOLINE WHEN WE HAVE THE TECHNOLOGY TO CREATE ALTERNATE FEUL SOURCES?
You see, I could go on for days asking WHY? Somebody is going to have to start questioning all of the ridiculous ways of our country. A group of individuals is going to have to rise up against this mess because that is the only way that this sick cycle will ever end. The republicans want it this way…. They want to keep you pinned down and ignorant. There is just one problem… the end to this reign will come very soon. The destruction of this nation is pending (not in a rapture sense). Capitalism is destined for destruction. You cannot keep shifting invisible money and stacking debt upon debt upon so many nations. The widening division of the rich and the poor and control of technology and corporation will fail…. It will explode in the face of those on top of the pyramid. It is just a matter of time.
