Slavery by Matt Wilde

Since the beginning of time, humanity has been trying to enslave it's own. When the authority realized they were losing the battle to do it by force (around 1930 or so), they decided to offer it on a volunteer basis. I'm just amazed at how many Americans chose to volunteer for such a life.

I just saw Michael Moore's film, "Sicko," and it outlines it perfectly. Instilling fear, stupidity, greed and hopelessness helps control the people. Though we're given the illusion of having the freedom to choose, living in debt and fear takes away that ability to choose with a clear mind. Poor people are less likely to vote, and more likely to believe what they hear through the mass media. People are shackled by car insurance, health insurance, college loans, rising gas prices and credit card debt. People who feel pessimistic and hopeless, and more likely to follow, rather than to lead. An educated, healthy and confident nation is much harder to govern, so the government wants it's people to be dumb, sick and demoralized. In doing so, we are more likely to take orders and hope for the best.

Schools don't teach our young how to lead; they teach us how to follow. They don't teach entrepreneurism or money management, but instead how to follow directions and be good employees. They don't teach history honestly, but instead instill blind Patriotism. We are taught that buying and owning stuff, determines the value of our lives. We are taught the in order to buy stuff and have a good life, we must have a good job. In order to get a good job, we must get a college education. And by the time we leave college, we're already deep in debt and scared, and wouldn't dream of stepping out of line. Plus these corporate jobs offer HMO plans, because, heaven forbid, we might get sick and need medical care.

Though we are no longer beaten or whipped physically by our masters, and we have the ability to buy healthful food, and afford warm, comfortable shelter, how many corporate drones feel like they are living with purpose, rather than enslaved by the system? Living with gratitude rather than fear? How many feel like they are serving and benefiting humanity, rather than stripping it to the extent that the lobbied law will allow? How many feel put upon and resentment towards their bosses? How many feel envious of the rich? How many are asked to work harder, longer and more productively than they did the day before? How many feel depressed and in need of controlled medication to alleviate this illness? How many satiate their lives with drugs, alcohol, sex, consumerism and mindless mental distraction?

We are at the end of American supremacy. Our borders are falling down. Our government is the laughing stock of the rest of the world. Our dollar is growing worthless. We are at the dawn of a re-revolution. Humility, health, education and confidence are our weapons. Fear, greed and woe are our enemies.

STOP WORKING FOR MONEY, AND START SHARING YOUR UNIQUE GIFTS WITH THE REST OF US!!! TRUST THAT YOU WILL BE SUPPORTED!!

One World, under God, serving each other, so that we may enjoy this life, the after, and the lives of those to follow. Amen.

Sai sez: how many pron stars write something as piquant as this..?
