Occupy

Everyday I here a little more about Occupy Somewhere, and the people who think that there sitting and waiting will actually make a real change.  The reality is no.  Here is what I see why all those folks are sitting and just taking up the front page, this alone allows others to continue fleecing the flock and some of those are the instigators of this haphazard mess.  What is truly even more amazing is the number of people doing what they might do during a natural disaster and rushing in with aid.

Two things that strike me this is not a life threatening disaster or natural, other than everyone wants to feel like they belonged to something.  In the end there might be a change of the faces but unless people in mass change their habits and make drastic changes to their lifestyles we will still have the same.  There will be those who learn to work within the system and by the numbers on a ledger will appear to be better off and then there will be those who are more focused on what makes them feel good now early one and they will fail according to the system.  Sorry to say this has happened over and over.

Case in point, does anyone remember the sixties, where did all those freaky free loving burn my bra and lets run naked folks go.  I will tell you as gravity took its toll most got back into clothes and are now the new faces of the establishment.  Like the pigs in Orwell's Animal Farm they took over and became the farmer and now when younger versions of who the once were are protesting they smile and keep raking in the money.  My guess if we look at the instigators of this and what they are worth in modern financial terms it will be a lot more than me, but the reality is I do not care one iota.

For those of you who speak a simpler vernacular that means I do not give a shit, and here is my reason why, in the end we all will die and have to face our maker.  And if before then their house of cards tumbles to the ground their will be a remnant who will resurrect from the ashes this once freest nation and when that day of turmoil comes more than your fancy cars, and diamond rings what people will be looking for is folks like me who know a thing or two about what to eat and where to find water, not to mention how to take a hide and make a nice pair of shoes or hat and even a Sunday dress. Enough said about that.

I would rather not see this nation crumble so I think it is time we actually stop electing our representatives based on sound bites and stop letting the corporate controlled media do our thinking, and that also goes for our political parties, our unions and our churches.  People we need to stop trying to be like the Jones folks next door because I remember those with Jimmy did not fare so well.  You need to start thinking for yourselves but not before getting a little education into where you came from and to do that you need to start reading and I do not care if it is in a book or on a computer screen, and do not limit yourself to only that which suits your fancy or that picture junk that passed for novels these days.  I am talking about good old fashioned educational stuff and I would start with the book that so influenced our founders that they were willing to risk death for their treason, yeah you know that book so I do not even have to say it.  Oh and in spite of what you heard about how it has changed, it is not true maybe the language but not the truths that are hidden within.

Moving on my recommendation, return to a simpler life style which focuses on necessities not frivolous things that will only be thrown or replaced in a year.  Just that alone would cause such drastic changes in our society things would change.  Oh and never let the government which is supposed to work for you tell you have to by anything as that is a bunch of crap and only continues to fill someone else's pockets with the hard earned fruits of your labor.  Come on they already forcibly take much of your hard earned money by the threat of force for supposedly things we need like public schools which by the way the last time i checked you as a parent are having to buy all the supplies and special clothes for your children who are then growing up without even knowing how to read critically or do the arithmetic.  Blah Blah I have heard it all, what I think is better is to teach your children to learn and then with only a little guidance they can be self taught.

In the end if you really want to effect change stop following the crowd and make decisions based on truth and not what you are feeling.  Take a stand for your neighbor when necessary but above all live a life based in truth and occupy your own space and don't come barging into mine unless I know you really well and even then be thoughtful as i would feel bad if by accident you were shot.
