a plea for change.
welly welly well, the fourth of July draws
near and one must reflect on the country one lives in. most people celebrate
by drinking in excess and blowing things up, is what we think of when we
think of America?
America needs change, supposedly WE are
the future and you think with all the counter culture around in a few years
things are going to change big time. Well for some reason it has yet to
happen. Look at the 1960's.those are the people in power now. Are we all
smoking pot and making love in the streets? Nope, what the hell happened?
Does only a small minority of people hold on to the values of their youth?
I would imagine very few of us could really
sit down and talk politics or religion with our parents and agree on more
than 10 points; even fewer with our grandparents. But for the most part
people of my age group, their parents were around in the 60's and 70's.when
did they lose the urge to fight the power to use a clichéd term.
Maybe it is just a part of growing old; to become complacent with society.
I guess maybe as they grow older, people
lose the burning need for change or just become so frustrated at the futility
of the situation. For those that have the power are firmly entrenched and
not giving an inch. Maybe we are doomed to become our parents, but i for
one am not. I will not out grow my rebellious stage. i will not change
to meet the status quo. of course their are exceptions to these thoughts
of mine, but damned few! Happy independence day. greenmuse
