Do we have the resources to really make a change? We have to be sure because if we are serious about making a change then we must think when it gets out of control we will need committed contacts at other colleges, with other groups, with other countries. We need their support. We need support all the way up to the top. We need people to Stand up. Stand up! Against Iraq. Against the reality of a police state. Against Bush and Cheney's absolute power. But as we stand up people say that's so crazy. We must stand up to them in a way that people don't think it's crazy.
Because freedom isn't a crazy reason to protest. The situation in Iraq isn't a crazy reason to protest.
I was there. Seeing an inauguration better on your television than if you are there is disturbing. When you, an American citizen, want to see your president for what he is, through your own eyes. And there are only two public viewing places with tremendous security to search suspicious people. And apparently you aren't suspicious if you are wearing a cowboy hat or a mink coat, "Um, yeah hey, didn't you vote against abortion and yeah, is that a polar bear you're wearing? How bloody do you think the murder was, give or take--hah. Is this what you stand for--kill moths but never a butterfly?
I was there and we were alive, we were the butterflies. We were raided, however, like we were cockroaches. When you go to see your president, whether to see him as a saint or a sailor, freedom should ring from the liberty bell. Instead we were held at pepper spray point and guarded. Banging on the fence we break through a few times, but do we really have the resources to cross the line? And this is only after eight hours. This is an example of how one can feel so unheard by the world.
It has got to stop. You can't drug youths any longer. And after youths are drugged you listen because we are now in control. That's what you thought but now we are in control. WE are in control. We don't know it, but we are, and that's because it was all a cover-up. You cannot feed people with a quarter pounder. Think of the word, quarter pounder. Are you serious? And then to make diet such a crisis. We are fat now. They are in power because food and drugs are such a major chunk of life and money. It's power but as youth get bigger, as we promote positivity, so too will the eminence of this hang over our heads, ominously, revolution.
"Medicine" instead of tissues for those with issues, "fast food" for dinner instead of home cooking and "pop culture" instead of a culture at all. These are not things of sustenance. Rebel is a word that might come up, but it's connotated as a crazy thing, but when there is only junk? Plastic, oil, coffee, crack, pop music, television, even internet. All a distraction that holds us back, not down, in life. We must lift as ye climb and we must also move forward, because as they take away health care, society will be weeping willows in the sense that most people need something, be it love, be it drugs.
People cannot take Mind Control Drugs, multiple MIND CONTROL DRUGS (does it say anything that if you abbreviate it, it is "McD's"?). By the time they realize what it does, you are hooked and so for the rest of your life, struggle is eminent.
The government is strong; we are all in fear. We are all infuriated and all upset but yet we sit here, we live on, we don't stop, and why not? The political system in the 60's was challenged and many steps were made but the government has done everything in its power since to reverse it. We must wake up. This is not a nightmare, this is not crazy, this cannot be an excuse any longer. When you feel pain, feel your pain. It is okay.
I never really needed a reason to eat freedom fries because the French didn't do anything to me. If anything they have helped US out. So who's got the resources to change for the better? Without having world war three, but we will need the help of other countries. We cannot go it alone, but ah, this is just the beginning. For we have struggled only eight hours. Pepper spray will be the least of our problems. And as Stokely Carmicheal once said, "STAY READY SO YOU AIN'T GOT TO GET READY!"
