Just feeling a little fed up..

Our system is broken.  Our politicians are bought and paid for.  Our media only tells us what their corporate backers allow them to tell us.  Our citizens are struggling to pay the bills, unable to get work.  Our veterans are jobless, emotionally and physically scarred.  Our children get inadequate education at the expense of more drones and increased military spending...  Our infrastructure is crumbling...  And nobody does a damn thing.  We all just continue to come online, talk about movies we like, food we ate, clothes we bought.  Nobody says anything... nobody does anything.  Sometimes it really makes me despair for our future.  We all just take it like obedient little sheep.. all because nobody thinks that it will make a difference. 

When gas prices go up to 9 bucks a gallon, the unemployment rate is 40%, and the crime rate is through the roof because of sheer desperation...  We might actually stand up and say we aren't going to take it anymore.  Maybe we will change things. 

Take a few minutes... read the Declaration of Independence... tell me if those grievances we had against the king sound familiar. It's actually kind of haunting when you read it, because so much of it aligns with the issues we face again today.  Instead of a King we have corporate entities that operate behind the scenes. 

It's not about right or left, not about Obama or Romney, and it's certainly not about politics at all.  It's about what is right and wrong, and what needs to be done.  I just wish we would all stand up and DO something.  Sorry for the rant, I just feel like I am trapped in the Matrix and all I want is a pill to take to wake up and join the damn revolution.
