It is the 21st century! 2007! What do Americans now resort to when we abhor our countries leadership, worry when we will terrorize another country, turn a blind eye to so many others, or are content with having filtered propaganda related to us in the form of "news"?
How do we go on in the midst of existential quandaries and breakdowns? Work in jobs that are disliked? Allow athletes to earn millions a year? Cut education funding? Destroy our environment? Not only create, but embrace reality TV? What happened to reality reality?
How do we live in the highest echelon of wealth and prosperity ever witnessed by civilization, and as a society, are now content with falling asleep at the wheel? Hell! recently we have begun to drink at the wheel! How do WE, the masses, the "great beast", as Alexander Hamilton has called us, RISE up against the corporate-political-autocracy (corporatocracy) and prove that we can grow out of being this "bewildered herd" we have become?
Grab a Starbucks and start a blog. Poof! Changing the world....man I feel good about myself.
DISCLAIMER: Corporatocracy is a borrowed word from a recent book I just finished. "Confessions of an Economic Hitman" by John Perkins. Read it if you want a quick understanding of how the US strives for global hegemony through the use of financial exploitation.
