Re: [blind-democracy] Re: Attack on the Twin Towers

Good Sunday Morning Bob, and All Sinners and Saints on Blind Democracy.
Fifteen years since Terrorists blindly struck out and murdered over
3,000 Souls, some guilty of participating in the relentless world
conquest by the American Corporate Empire, and some, probably most,
innocent folks going about their jobs and business. Some of these
people came to America, seeking freedom to live their lives as they
were able, while others like myself, were born here, also growing up
in the belief that we could find a way to live our lives as Free Men
and Free Women.
Through a mixture of personal skill, opportunity, health, education,
personal drive, and so many other factors, we struggled to rise to the
height of our potential.
Because we all live here in this Land called America, we do share,
willingly or unwillingly, certain obligations. We are all called upon
to financially support our collective needs. But do we all share this
financial obligation equally? If not, why not? Can it be that we
have different governments overlying one another? There is that
government we have been taught about in our grade school history
lessons, the Land of the Free and the Home of the Brave. The Land of
Opportunity. But if that is "Our Land", then why is it not shared
equally among us all? Why are there laws that protect the Ruling
Class, the Oligarchy, but are not accessible to the Working Class?
How is it that our Police Departments enforce the law differently, if
we are all Americans?
How can we really believe that we are all members of America, when a
small number of "us" receive preferential treatment? Is it possible
that even though we all live together, some of us live more equally?
And how can we belong to that small percentage of :Blessed" people,
when we can't even enter their gated communities or private clubs?
Isn't it time we stood up and said that we are two different
governments, one preferred and one trampled upon? When will we open
our minds to the fact that we, the Working Class, are no diffeerent in
the eyes of the Ruling Class, than any of the other Third World People
they control and steal from.
Yes, I was born here. But no, I am not a part of the Oligarchy that
is running unchecked, around the Globe.
