Today's times
I was reflecting today and came to a realization. The entertainment moguls gear things to get ratings and what gains more ratings than the current thoughts and ideas in peoples minds. So far this television season there have been two series to debut with the main plot centered around a nuclear explosion in America. Look back to the depression, the biggest movies were ones about the rich losing their wealth and becoming one of the poor. Movies during WWII was centered about hope, plus many of the comic book superheroes spawned around this time to give the people hope as well. During the cold war we had spy movies. Just in the last few years terrorism popped up and has basically faded away in entertainment. Today, we have the apocalypse. This is what we have on our minds.
Are we repeating serious blunders from history? Are we, America, paralleling the Roman Empire before its sudden fall? I truely think we need to seriously think about this.
There are too many people who are looking at parties when they look to choose who to vote for. THIS IS SERIOUSLY FLAWED!!! As the clouds began to gather around the beginning of WWII the American people talked and did what you should be doing now. They looked at the issues and chose to vote for the person who was right for the job. America is so biased across party lines everyone is loosing sight of this. You turn on the television or walk outside your home and you hear 'a vote for a republican is a vote for safety and a vote against terrorism' or 'a vote for a democrat is a vote for peace and accountability'. That is absurdly stupid to say or to think.
The only way to have a glimmer of hope that we can take back government for the people of this nation is to get familiar with the candidates, the topics and their stance on these subjects. If we continue to blindly vote along party lines and not for the people who is best for the position as the old adage goes 'if you always do what you've always done, you'll always get what you have always gotten'.
Thanks Glenn Beck for saying this and spurring me to make this post. If you haven't seen his show, it comes on CNN Headline News at 6pm Central. Check it out and be enlightened.
