Change is inevitable, except from a vending machine.

    America is in serious peril.

    Everyday, I hit the streets, talking with people. Compiling. Statistisizing (new word, take that Webster's..), realizing...

    The more people I confide in who are from other countries, the more I wrap my head around the fact that our system is absolutely going to fail completely. And I say completely because it's already been failing. It just hasn't totally collapsed yet. It's just been putting on an incredible facade. It's only a matter of time.

    PLEASE. For the sake of humanity and a happier world, a more peaceful upcoming generation, a more fulfilling life for all... please ask questions. Demand answers. Hold those responsible, accountable. Before it's too late.

Quote of the Day.

    I'm sure many of you have heard of Julian Assange. If you haven't, then I'm sure you were probably watching NASCAR or something that you impulsively thought was more important at the time (actually the media was probably just covering something they thought was more important like Lindsay Lohan's ceaseless legal troubles). I will inform you. Mr. Assange is the founder of Wikileaks, who was indicted for leaking classified information about the government and corporations to the public.

    Now I'm sure 99.9% of you already know what Facebook is. Of course you do. That's how things work these days. And I'm sure you've all heard the name Mark Zuckerberg, the face attached to the largest social networking site in the world.

    From the mouth of Julian Assange himself:

    "What are the differences between Mark Zuckerberg and me? I give private information on corporations to you for free, and I'm a villain.
     Zuckerberg gives your private information to corporations for money, and he's Man Of The Year."


    Anyone familiar with the term "slight of hand" from magic? It seems the general public has become the audience in these magicians' show. Oh what an illusion it has become.

Thought of the Day.

    I have been heavily contemplating capitalism and democracy as of late. More importantly, its inexcusable flaws. No longer (arguably, have we ever been) able to trust the concepts with which we have been trained to function societally.

    Most spend their years blindly funneling energy and time and placing value on a facade of shallow, monetary, materialistic and tangible growth. As a country, we have been trained this way; A lab experiment, mouse and cheese type of functionality that gives a sense of false safety and fulfillment.

    Have an open mind. What really matters? Is that new BMW parked in your driveway? Is it that 60 inch flat screen in your living room?

    I have a quote that I found very interesting. It was written by John Adams, President of the United States from 1797 to 1801, in a letter to Thomas Jefferson, dated April 15th, 1814.

    "Democracy, while it lasts, is more bloody than either aristocracy or monarchy. Remember, democracy never lasts long. It soon wastes, exhausts, and murders itself. There is never a democracy that did not commit suicide."

    It is obvious that the severity of exploitation could not have been foreseen during the times that democracy was being fashioned in America. However, this man grasped the situational flaws before democracy on this scale had ever been achieved. Nearly 200 years before it was grasped in modern terms. Now, its happening right before our eyes, and the majority still cant seem to wrap themselves around the fact that the system is failing ("BLASPHEMY!"). 


    We are few. We are rogue. We have to be the change we need to see. Never stop asking questions, its how we get stronger. Accountability will no longer rest on our shoulders.
