You're Not Angry with Me
We're all so angry in North America; we yell at one another, we curse each other out, we attack one another's character, amid all this yelling and screaming one truth gets buried: you're not angry with me.
You're angry with your government and your culture; so am I. We are all angry at the system and the people in power and instead of yelling at the source of our upset, we attack our neighbour.
Governments stoke this irrational behaviour by pitting us against each other by separating us into those who 'hate us for our freedoms' in the west and those who support democracy and freedom, the 'patriots'; so, if you oppose the current wisdom of killing and torture and more killing, well that's because you hate us for our freedoms.
It's an effective tool to deeply divide the masses and let them cannibalize friend and foe; while we devour each other, the people we're truly angry with are doing whatever they want. Governments, religious fanatics and special interest groups are malignantly planning and executing wars for profit, Raptures and Apartheid.
Divide and conquer.
We are a continent divided and conquered and we're heading towards a final dénouement; how it will end is a mystery but, a wave of such rage and lies can only build to a crescendo and then implode.
I am not angry with you.
You are not angry with me.
We are angry at our leaders and our culture for being lead down a path of vapid, empty, meaningless consumerism and soulless language of hate, war and death.

Post a CommentVery thought provoking and look how it has started a dialog, which is what this country needs!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
You are right about how we're being manipulated. Black vs white, Rich vs poor, Christian vs Heathen, and on and on! I love my country, but distrust my government. They have given me so many reasons to distrust them over the years. However, I am proud of TRUE American culture, where everyone works hard and pulls their weight. The culture where the weak are defended and the scumbags are put away, and there is true equality among the people. What we have today in the US is not culture, but zeitgeist. We're more worried about Paris hilton and American Idol and buying bigger TV's than we are about each other's well-being. I love America, and I hope someday that all good folks can win her back!
Interesting article...
Cuba Libre! One can't help fall in love with Cuba. This was my second trip, and in 5 years nothing has changed. For Cuba to change the US government must change its attitude and end the economic and visitor embargo. But even so.... look at China, where the Tibetan monks were beaten and oppressed. Economic trade with China is ongoing; yet the people are not free. It seems that the democratic nations of the world and the dictatorships are in a hurry to meet in a controlled middle. Not once did get stopped in Cuba, but I come back home and I have some cop staring in my car window, hoping he can find "probable cause". Castro would find that he has many like minded brother and sister politicians here and elsewhere. The celebrities that have licked Castro's boots over the years make me sick. They would be the first locked up.
I'm not angry with anybody. Governments -- politicians don't always act in the best interest of the people they govern. I cast a wary eye at our US government, especially the Federal Government, but at least I have a modicum of say in the procedure. I think less of many foreign governments -- foe and supposed friend. I just returned from Cuba, where the government is overbearing. The official plan for 50 years there has been to provide the people with about 70 percent of what they can eat. That way they are too busy feeding themselves somehow to foment change. People were afraid to talk to me for any length of time. Police checkpoints were on many major highways. Yet, I come back here to the US and there are local police last night instituting a "safety" check, looking for an excuse to pull you over and fine you. This is judged okay by our US Supreme Court. It is a disgrace. Too much creedence and authority is given to unelected, unaccountable hacks.
Nice try..but no cigar. I am not angry..not at you..and certainly not at my government or culture...I couldn't be more proud of my nation or culture. The only segment of society that deserves such anger..are the lawless...and those impeding freedom and the pursuit & maintenance of such..hmm..perhaps..you fit in that last category? But, none-the-less, anger doesn't control me..it motivates me to counter the appeasers of tyranny and it fuels my endeavor in keeping America free.
