The New Revolution

It is shockingly sad that this world has become one in which conformity is a method of survival. We have to conform to keep our jobs, conform to be accepted culturally and socially, and conform to the corrupt and absurd laws we have been given in order to remain "free" in our country. Today, most of us have either lost our ability or never learned the ability to think independently and to question everything we are told in search of the facts. For example, if our President tells us "All Asians are bad people", we are obviously going to question his sanity, logic and reasoning. However, if our education systems that operate under the control of the government use textbooks with history that gradually indicate negative feedback on Asians; over time our children and future generations will grow up conforming to the idea that Asians are bad people. No matter what the motive or message is, it all stems from the governments desire of conformity to create less resistance to their policies and thus having more control over the people--it happens more than you might think.
When we are young, we're taught that everything the authoritative adult says is fact and we're taught that there is no need to question the source of the source as long as it's an "official" source. The problem is that for something to be "official" means that it is authorized by government authority and with all due respect, that means nothing. That is why it is up to us to question the news, our history, our leaders, and the same concept should be applied to religion and following our parents beliefs. Of course it's human nature to trust that your parents know best in respects to spirituality and even political stances but it's highly possibly that their beliefs are corrupted by generations of the same conforming education and social treatment from our society.
As adults, it is up to us to question what we've been told since we were children. It's up to us to study, research, and critique our knowledge and source of knowledge to determine the truth, subjectively. It's time to re-analyze your perspective on life, determine your own beliefs, and this time, analyze it from an open frame of mind leaving out the years of crap that has been injected into your mind since early childhood. You'll find yourself seeing life through a different light and having strong convictions for what you believe in as our ancestors did generations ago-- and that's a rarity to have these days.
It's time stop being lazy, dumbed-down citizens that sit back and allow the government take complete control over our country. Individualism and freedom are natural rights we were all born with and we are being robbed of them daily by our government. 54% of Americans strongly disagree with the direction we are headed in this country and I hate to say it but those that only silently disagree on polls aren't helping the problem. It's our duty as American citizens to speak out loud and let your opinions be known--join the TEA Parties and the protests. I don't care if you're pro-life, pro-choice or whatever the cause may be, but do it because it's your right and because you may not have the freedom to do it much longer.
Our constitution is written so that the power of the government is derived by the consent of the governed and that means they work for us, by us, not forcibly so the other way around. If things continue to move in this direction without the consent of the governed, I truly believe and hope there will be a revolution within the next few years to conserve our constitution and reform our government. In other words--Power to the People baby! ;-)
