I wish we had a leader today like MLK. It seems that there is nobody anymore that can orate to stir the masses and speak the truth and guide us on the way to change things. Alan Grayson was a fiery speaker but the right shut him down and managed to oust him from his seat in Florida. I think that he will be back though bigger than ever. They may have won that battle, but I can see him winning the war. I think that is what needs to happen now. Our country is just a powder keg waiting to be ignited, just waiting for that certain person to show the way. Not with violence, not with guns but with the sheer force of the masses. The millions of us taking to the streets. If we had the will of the French we could shut everything down completely until they listened to us. The monied elite of this country needs to corralled before they destroy whats left of this country for good and all. We need an MLK, a Roosevelt, a JFK. Hell, I'd even take a Huey Long. Could you imagine a politician today saying something like this "No man has ever been President of the United States more than two terms. You know that; everyone knows that. But when I get in, I'm going to abolish the Electoral College, have universal suffrage, and I defy any sonofabitch to get me out under four terms."(1933) There is so much that can be accomplished if we hadn't all been turned into uneducated wage slaves desperately treading water that all we want to do on our downtime is tune into Jersey Shore. Keep us distracted with bread and circuses so we won't revolt. Although with bread becoming scarce the circus is becoming a lot less compelling.
There will be 2 posts today. I want to discuss the Golden Globes. So much fuckery in one room needs at least some comment.
