WHAT HAVE WE BECOME?

It is a disease in society today, be nice, be kind, be patient, be spiritual.

What the majority of people don't realize is ,that attitude often create the 'predator-prey" mentality.

The violent regimes of this world regard it as weakness to be exploited.
We are all God, but not all of us are aware of that fact.

What that creates is a climate where Messianic maniacs like Mugabe can decimate,rape, kill,plunder and destroy their own county and people , and we in the free world sit back and do nothing.

We are so fearful of being seen as politically incorrect, that the basis premise of advanced life on this planet is forgotten.

THE STRONG PROTECT THE WEAK
In primitive cultures the strong attack the weak, the "predator-prey' syndrome.It is a sign of an advanced culture to protect those weaker than us, whether its people, animals, or our planet.

So we have the UN, who tries in their misguided fashion to reason with a madmen and mad regimes.

We have a situation in Burma, where we are begging and bargaining with corrupt generals to let us save their people.The generals are telling us they will let us save their people for 3 billion dollars.
What the fuck!@!!!They think we are stupid, and we actually are.

But the generals are smart, they realize that after 4 weeks or so, the dying starving people will be old news, and forgotten to the general public,so they wont really have a problem.

When will we realise that there is NO negotiating with despotic regimes?

They regard negotiating as weak, and a ploy for getting what they want.

Where the hell has common sense gone in this mad world?

People talk about the evilness of America invading Iraq.

The main problem was they weren't honest about it.

What they should have said is 'We cant afford to have the main oil, and world power supply in the the hands of extremists, so we will doctor up some excuse of weapons of mass destruction to take it".

This may seem like a very unpopular thing for me to say, but any one reading this, ask yourself, who would you want to be in charge of the worlds oil fields? And the associated power that brought?

American? Afghanistan, the Taliban ,Pakistan, the Mullahs ? Bin laden? I know who I would want.

Because if America didn't do what it did, you can bet it in a few years it would have been a very different world we now live in.

Think about it.

And mad dictators must be overthrown, wether we gain anything material from doing it or not.

....And unless we in the west, start taking real action, not the endless talking ,dissembling, discussing, crap that we now see, many more millions will die, in Burma, Sierra Leonie, Afghanistan, Africa.

We, in the western world, as a democratic powerful society, have a duty of care to protect these people, and to help them gain independance from repressive regimes.

Until we do, their will never be world peace, and we can protest, think positive thoughts, study Zen ,do affirmations till the cows come home, but until strong, moral, responsible action is taken, regardless of public opinion, we are guilty of being the one good man that does nothing.

This is OUR responsibility, OUR world, OUR people,OUR planet.

And we can let popular opinion rule, or stop being sheep and stand up for what we believe is right, no matter the religion, race, gender or nationality.
