The American Dream is a Fraud???
Here is something I posted to another person's blog. Worth thinking about I do say.
This is some deep stuff we have gotten into, but allow me a few words if I may. First off, education is of paramount importance when it comes to understanding these things that have come to past. One needs to know history, the way corporations work, and the way government works, and that is way more study then the vast majority of people want to spare.
I agree with Mal'ahk when he says that we are reponsible for the government we get. It is misguided to believe one or a few people are controlling everything in this world. The reason government has become the way it is, is because the people that work in these corporations and in government have too much fear to go against the system. They fear losing their jobs, their careers, their houses, their families. There is too much at stake for them. When you get paid six figures to work as a security officer in Iraq for one year, how many red blooded Americans would pass that up? Folks, when we look at our corporations and our government we are looking into a mirror. We are looking at a vast system that is controlled by those who know how to control it, and the system is made up of people, and they control the people because the people have fear.
Our Constitution begins, "We, The People..." Whether you want to disagree with it or not, the actions of our government and our corporations have benefited we, the people, more often then not. We are materially blessed in this nation. Nearly everyone has a roof over their head and food to eat, and many more then that are blessed to own computers, satellite dishs, SUVs, and white picket fences! Those who don't have at least some safety net non-existent in other countries no matter how small it may be.
Government & Corporations will never be perfect, but they can do plenty of good. And bad people will always exist in those organizations. We can fine tune things to minimalize it, but never erase it altogether.
And since we have a seperation of religion and state in this country how can we expect our government to make moral decisions? They decided to go to war in Iraq because they thought it was best for our country. So what if what's best for our country is retaining our power by any means necessary. The actions our government takes may not benefit you directly, but it benefits our country as a whole.
At the risk of writing a book on the subject I will stop here at the introduction. But do continue to think for yourselves, and always ask the reason why.
