My take on current events

First some facts. I am a white previledged male living on Social Security. I don't have to worry about going out anywhere without getting arrested or killed (think African American). If I spoke another language other than English,  I would be harassed. 

The world I grew up in is very different from today. I grew up in rural America which has turned into a hotbed of hate about eveything. I now live in a world where the previous President tried to overthrow his own government. I live in a world where our top Judicial branch of government, the Supreme Court, has turned into a far right political agenda. I live in a world where half our population, women, are now regulated to second citizen. I live in a world where police officers can murder others with no consequences. I live in a world where most politicians are bought off by big corporations. I live in a world where one political party is a normal political party, while the other political party is one that does not believe in democracy. I live in a country where society as a whole is breaking down. Mainly because of a barely functioning government. Even truth is fake. Sad but true. In a poll taken of 1,000 people, 25% would take up arms against our own government. Democracy is dying here in the US.

So it's time to change direction. It is time to imagine a better world. Time to change our thinking about a new political and economic system. Because it ain't working very well. Sure it's hard work, but it must and can be done. Change is always going on. Like the Universe. The time is now. Everything is interconnected.
