YOU NEED EXPERIENCE FOR THE JOB...

-This is why we have a constitution, people!
-If you exercised your constitutionally guaranteed powers and rights, your lives as mainstreeters with soccer practices and swim meets wouldn't get so screwed as often.


But this would mean you'd have to stop watching Survivor and American Idol. But I digress. Why exactly should fighting for more power within the machine matter?
Here's why I believe, in my not so humble way, that caring about these things matters. It matters because it directly impacts how we all live our lives, because like it or not we're all interconnected in this world. What happens to one affects the others in unpredictable ways, and because of this it is wise not to ignore the world outside our walls.


It becomes a tad difficult to provide for family, health, and stability when the basis of your substance is not in some measurable way controlled by you, but rather, owned by people lacking the slightest congruence of social values. Like, for example, the need of people with limited incomes and means to save money and plan ahead. The yearning for social stability in part derives from the fact that most of us live lives that requires constant vigilance and rational use of our limited resources. By and large we don't have deep pockets to burn through.
Unlike those that control most of the wealth of this country. http://sociology.ucsc.edu/whorulesamerica/power/


The kicker to all of this is that the reason why we have constitutional rights, people, is for everyone to have a fair shake in the bargaining table of life in the United States. All citizens are citizens equally under the law, right? But I'm not getting the sense that this is how people are behaving.


What enrages me most is that, no matter where I go these days, the undercurrent of frustration and resentment is always there. People find themselves in straitened circumstances because of property taxes increasing, layoffs, or any other equally detrimental circumstances. Often times, a lot of these mishaps could have been avoided if the people had bothered to go to town hall meetings, had pressed their local governments. But I see no such organization.


So here’s what I’m doing. Look above you will see links to the Declaration of Independence. Try reading it. If you feel we are fighting the same battles today, then we need to stop living like children and do something. If you feel the same way as me, I leave the floor open to you in my blog
