"Lies, Lies, Lies Ye-ah"
America is choking on its own vomit of lies. Our culture has become obsessed with getting what they want at any expense that we don't understand the consequences of such behavior. Newton proved that for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction, and that applies to our own actions and spirits. The whole mindset of this country has become “grab what you can and run”; it is causing the rapid decay of all we know: drug companies assigning medicine to patients who don't need it, inflated insurance costs (what is insurance but a way to just make money anyway?), gas heights when there is no shortage, and on and on and on.
As Americans we eat everything thrown our way (literally and realistically). Watch any commercials on TV and everyone is a lie. Children are being taught to lie, or at least deny, even if they don't have to. Lawyers can always find “an expert” to challenge another “expert's” findings in court cases. We hear on the news how we are finding new ways to help save the human race, but later find those same “innovations” are actually killing us.
The state of America reminds me of the Wizard in The Wizard of Oz. The Wizard controls this intimading machine to scare people into being obedient, but behind the curtain is a powerless old white man whose only power is the use of fear and deception. The rest on the world has found this curtain, just like Toto did in the film, and they see the frail, true nature of our country: a false idealism that has been created to trick people into compliance.
We need to learn to live through a paradigm of love, and shed this desire to out do everyone through unneeded competition. The people of this country have beautiful ideas, but they are constanly being stifled by the continuous sea of lies that tell us that we are not smart enough, not beautiful enough, and not successful enough. We need to charge through the Wizard's curtain and kick his ass. Our ideals are supposed to be embedded through democracy, but, if the current accpeting totalitarianism continues, our freedoms will continue to rot until we are left in a state of regretful enlightenment.
