Inequality

[Karo Chevez]

Racism,as any other form of discrimination is a
degraded trait of the human condition.We are equal
participants in this grand experiment called life,
yet we are subjected to the ignorant prejudice of
small,petty people who lack mental and emotional
maturity,these simpletons choose to hate what they
perceive to be foreign or strange,whereas one must
appreciate the many-faceted aspects of life.I find
that I admire and enjoy variety in all things.For
there to be but one type of tree,plant,or flower,
or should there be only one type of animal,bird,or
form of sea-life,it would be a boring existence.It
is shapes,colors,patterns,and designs that enrich
any landscape,being arranged so that things might
comliment one another,and so it is with humanity.
The major religions teach that there is but one god,for this to be the case there would enevitably
be countless variety contained within this one god
insomuch that no one people could proclaim itself
as the only people of god or the chosen people,for
in so doing they in effect would be denying god in
such a proclaimation.Dialectics teach that a thing
is equal to itself only at a precise moment in time and remains equal to itself if it does not change,but in a world of perpetual motion a thing
is subject to constant change,whereby that which
doesnt change...doesnt exist.The religious notion
of an unchanging god is therefore absurd!Variety is the spice of life.One cannot denounce a rose of
being a flower merely because it hasnt the same
qualities as a carnation,though their shapes,color
and fragrance may differ,they are both flowers.The
evil of the world is brought about by this sense of oneness,separateness,and greedy selfishness,and
the idea of promoting one group of people at the
expense of others,herein lies the blatant flaw of
democratic capitalism in which a select few profit
from the labor of many.Capitalism is not merely a
single society but various societies,i.e.workers,
capitalists,bourgeosie middle-class,unemployed,and
the retired and disabled.Enmity exists between the
capitalists and the other classes showing that the
various parts of a capitalist society are ill-adapted to one another through unceasing conflict,
and the more that these cog-wheels in this machine
of inequality come to clash with one another more
and more violently in that the flaws of the structure become an unrepairable chasm,just as the
mechanism of a clock becomes deficient due to the
misadjustment of its cog-wheels rendering it useless in that it can no longer be trusted to determine time accurately,so capitalism shall be
exposed for its inherent flaws rendering its final
demise and the ultimate triumph of socialism.-Karo

Long post there... well said. With the injustices constantly committed against the people by the elite, there comes a point where the people say "ENOUGH!!" and rise up. We are near that boiling point. Slowly, more and more people are going out into the streets and expressing their views. At the G8, the WTO meetings, there's always thousands of people showing up to fight the stranglehold the corporate powers have on the world. The governments are feeling it too. In Canada, the next meeting is going to be at a small rural town barely on the map, they're afraid, they want to keep the people quiet. At the Quebec summit, they had walls up kilometers away from the summit, keeping people away. Tear gas rained down on protesters for hours on end, on canister a minute. They started shooting the canisters behind the demonstrators, up wind of them, so that they would be stuck between the gas and the police. They had nowhere to run. Police brutality is up, people can be arrested for pure suspicion now and it's all because they're afraid. The time for action is now. People are moving away from the crap of the material and more towards what matters, what's good for all.

i agree that the uprisings are beginning but i think its stilll a long time off. while people are becoming more and more curious as to why people are protesting etc. a large number are still holding strong to their beliefs. we are getting closer , but don't count your chickens before they hatch (sorry for the cliche)
