[quote:Anonymous Coward 14160530:MV8yMDAwMTgyXzMzNjA0Nzc2XzVENUEyOEFC] You are human. The system that oppresses you is human. This oppression won't last forever, perhaps longer than you or I but not forever. Have a little faith in humanity, that regardless of the oppression we all will get by in the end. We are still in an age of rulers. These rulers have created a better world for humanity since the dawn of civilization. And I know, its not perfect, but it so much better than it used to be. And 100 years from now, it will be better still until we reach an age where rulers and no longer needed. For as much as we don't like oppression, we need leadership, even if it is leadership that oppresses. Without it humanity would never have come this far. This is the first step in an evolutionary journey that uniquely as human beings, we are able to witness and understand. Later on, this period will be recognized, and it will be understood to have been important to the development of the humanity of the future. Without all the bad, without struggling, how could we ever know what the good is? How could we ever know when we have reached what we have been aiming for. We need to grow, and learn. Suffering is part of this. Ask any species ;) [/quote]

Warning.- This isn't an uplifting post. This is reality as I now see it. It has become more clear to me that they have won and we have lost the war without even fighting the battle. We are all talk and no action. We sit around and bitch about our rights being taken away. We fight and argue over race, religion and politics. We really are brainwahed sheep being controlled in almost every aspect of our lives. It's just going to get worse. I've known for a while now and am reminded daily about how corrupt this world is.
After watching the streaming video of the protest in Spain it really set in with how screwed we are. I watched as hundreds of protesters were ran off by a handful of police. I'm not for violence but I am for standing your ground and standing up for what you believe in. I just can 't figure out how we got here. I don't know what it will take to get things going in a better direction. I don't have the answer. It just saddens me to the core to see where we are and where things are going.
Sorry for the rant and I 'm not trying to offend anyone in Spain.
