I saw V for Vendetta a few nights ago. I am always amazed at how inspired I can be by a work of Fiction. Non-Fiction too. Black Jacobins and such.

"--That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness. Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shewn, that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security."

These are powerful words. The Declaration of independence is a wonderful document. Quite brilliant actually. Too bad they were never really followed.

It is our responsibility as constituents, citizens of this country to make it what we want it to be no matter what we have to do. Our forefathers, corrupt as they were, had the right idea of revolution. So did Toussaint L'Ouverture, Dessalines, and even Castro. They saw something that was wrong and they fought to change it. Some with better results than others, but what we can't deny is the conviction. The determination to change, with the power of the people around them, conditions which are not for the better good of its Citizens.

Here in the US the question is, who is the V of our generation.

First thing is making sure that people are on the same page. What if the majority of this country really agrees with its politics? With Bush, and his evil regime.

Something that made me happy today, was hearing that his own party is against his blatant disregard for the Geneva Convention. Keeping humane with our treatment of POW's. How do we expect our soldiers to be given the same treatment?

It is obvious that there is no easy solution to our involvement in Iraq. We should've never went in to begin with. Now they are in a whirlwind of disaster. Not that they were that great before, but what they needed wasn't foreign powers to liberate them from a dictator, only to impose their own beliefs on them. That is just another form of colonizing.

What if that was the original intention of the Bush administration. Having a dominated Middle-Eastern country is exactly what the greedy oil lovers need.

But I ask, because I don't know. How do we get out of this now?

It isn't as simple as getting a new president. How better can any of these snake career politicians ever be? Who, Hilary? I am not convinced. Dean was the only one who gave me a sliver of hope, and I don't exactly know why, but I don't see any person who could be a savior. Maybe Michael Douglas if he becomes his character as the American President. Or even Bill Paxton who saved us from annihilation.

Someone tell me how.

Also if the Republicans were to win the presidency again wouldn’t McCain + Rice not be such a bad ticket?


I’m just think in type.
