Inspired Philosophy cont...

It's interesting that the ideas of the two party system were lost. Minorities vote Democrat when they were the original slave owners. The Republican/northern states supposedly opposed slavery, but then, during the Civil War, they really didn't fight for freedom. If Lincoln would have lived, he would have not only freed the blacks, but sent them to back to their native land.

There's nothing real anymore. Our history books, our media, our lives are filled with propoganda. Hitler used it during WWII to enslave his people into thinking the Jews were horrible people. Where did he get this idea? The U.S. We used it during WWI. Read the news and see the slant, or spin, as they call it. Okay, so you change the channel. You're watching someone else's spin. Then again, the media is filled with many ideas, all of which are bought and paid for by a 1 party system. It's the party you never see, nor ever will.

It's scary to think about. Our society has been isolated into groups: race, age, gender, class, etc. Once isolated, they're victimized. Each group is lead down different paths, causing them to believe things that aren't real, false worries, and misinformation. Women and minorities are constantly being lied to. They're made to believe they're all victims and they MUST do something or else "this" will happen. Life shouldn't be that way. Let's keep women in the doctor's office because if we make them believe something will happen to them, they'll keep coming back for check-up's.

Where are all of the thinkers, the artists, the poets, the writers, and activists? Where are the milestone individuals that make history or create something grand? Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. was such a man. They took him out. John Lennon too spoke out for the people and had the power to reach millions worldwide. He spoke for peace and against the establishment. They took him out too. And if you think it wasn't the system that did either of these men in, look at the FBI files on them. There was quite an interest in what these individuals were doing. It certainly wasn't to give them an award.

The world sold it's soul for a Starbucks coffee and a hands-free cellular device. Free thinkers and artists are considered radicals and are dealt with in lethal force before their movement can march forward against what's truely evil in this world. The deceased's ideals are cannonised by a bank hoiday and rememberance in public school.
