Shouting in a crowded room

Food crisis, health crisis, environmental crisis, economic crisis, political crisis.

A short shuffle through any on-line or print news source will no doubt reveal one of these phrases within the multiples of diet plans and American Idol losers. This country has lost one of the pillars upon which it was founded crumble: stability. Job security is a joke, buying a home is delaying an inevitable foreclosure, and even those retirement funds, whether from the governmental taxes you've paid all of your life or the one that an ever-rising stock market promises, is unstable as a Cincinnati Bengal criminal record.


We no longer have the ability to rely on either the economic system that dominates American society or the government that is run by it. We can no longer trust the industries which advertise their control over society while overusing and polluting the environment which we require to live. We can no longer go haphazardly through the day with the illusory concept that our current behaviors are sustainable and atrocities and against humanity do not exist. We are ceasing to evolve as citizens and living longer as ignoramuses.


Actions cannot begin until consciousness is achieved. "I, the person" must become "We, the people". This is me shouting in a crowded room and there is a major fire that you can see but are not aware of.
