| Todays society there is a great many horrors that people are blind to. As a youth today in America, T.V. and radio show depictions of matarilism and importans on physically beauty and money and sex. They show no importance to character, culture, self-esteem. I feel that military studies show how to subdue and overtake a people's mind and ideas which in todays market is implemented by the government and big corporations. If you see what they sell, they sell clothing, (medical)Drugs, beer, porn, sexism. It's all for capital that exploits the people's weakness. The weaker the person, the lower the self-esteem, the less beauty someone sees within and the less they resist. You want the latest fashion so you can cover yourself up to feel more beautiful and fit in. The news & media are all owned by big corperations, and one sided ideas are given and sold to the masses. And they sell their ideas so great. Any government official who is elected must have a big corporate sponser, or they have to be rich to be elected, which means the (consumer)voter has no real choice in who they elect. There is no real freedom of speech, no real power to the people as the founding fathers intended of this country. And worst of all, the elites ideas get spread through the earth with satilelites and radio waves and now the internet. Also we go to other countries and take over foreign oils, metals and agraculture. Now, we have made a world that hates us, and wants their freedom from our imperilism. Most foreigners just want us off their lands, but Big Corporate America will not let go of the capital. And in my country we are so busy speaking of war and money and the latest movie or sport issue that we miss what is important. We place money and earning over people and the environment. My country has the highest rape statistics out of all the industrialized countries, but woman are not considered important. Worst of all, studies show that about 25% rape cases are not reported, and in some rare cases some communties show a 95% unreported rape rate. Woman are shown as a lesser lower human in are movies and ads. Porn sells, and people are weak and complacent and they will buy it all up. Studies show that a woman could not be president in this country because people would not elect a woman at such a high office. Some complacent people say that, that is not so bad because woman can hold a high important job or place in society. Which is true but, equality is equality and the truth is the truth. And many woman are beaten by their boyfriends, lovers, husbands. Also sex and male promiscuouty is sold with mania. In the black community this especially sold, everyone wants to be a 'player'. But the sad thing is, today the leading cause of death for African-american males is AIDS, not cancer, not violence, not drug use but AIDS. Remember the weaker the person is, the easier it is to sell ideas or products to. Yet, the mainstream news rarley reports or does such reports at all on these issues. Woman should realize that they are powerful and beautiful and should grow up to be physically and mentally strong. Blacks have been inslaved and continue to be to this day with crack, poverty, bad images. Latin or native americans have had everything taken from them, land, gold, culture, language. The mexican government and many Latin American governments are puppets to the U.S. The environment is placed on lower priority than money. California has paid dearly for with higher gas and water prices for their highly-regulated environmental laws. We slaughter trees and woods and beaches. As long as we don't live next to those dumps we are okay, but it still effects us in other ways. Plants and animals die off and effect our ecosystem. But as an American youth I am told that the government is for me, because I get paid a decent wage and live a pretty good life, hell I am the top of the food chain, but the reality is I am not. And now the FCC and the BUSHwacked senate is getting more restricted with our rights. Fighting wars in my name, and lying to me about weapons of mass destruction, but the reality it is for the oil. Did you know the U.S. did not have problems with current Cuban government until they nationalized all the oils and took what belonged to them back from the U.S. Now they are seen as an enemy. I don't want to live in a military government, I love most of my freedoms, but we are being highjacked and we need to stop it! Free your mind. Know you are strong and beautiful. We all tend to lie to ourselves so the world fits are own created views. But corporations control those views now. Stop lying to yourself and don't believe anyone elses lies. Free your mind, and fly. Power to the people. May god be with us all, and lets hope to make a peaceful world. |
