Re: Drake: Updates, clarifications and more
Mark my words... if (maybe we are smart enough not to), or when we see revolution in the streets of the U.S. we won't need Drake to tell us. From what I've seen, it shouldn't but it is coming. Not because of race, or creed but because of the economy and 9-11-01. Recently, I was asked why I was still fixated on 9-11-01. The answer for me was simple... its not over.
All the things we've been going through have been brought to us; it is the way our system is set up. It could be good, it could be very good but for the leaders we have. For so many years, our leaders haven't had a thimble full of wisdom, nor have any one of them been able to stop the pyramid of power that reaches far above them. And for the life of me, I cannot tell you what lay in its stead or, why you or I haven't had the power to change it. I can't even tell you why people fall under the spell of "easy", except we get tired -and our minds don't necessarily let us proceed. Even the best of leaders cannot do what needs to be done alone, s/he must have the backing of the people, and oh so many people. I've been listening and I have heard so much white noise, I cannot tell anymore what you all are saying.
BUt I think the gist is this... this emptyness we feel over not being the good shepherds of the earth we innately know we should be in our lowly positions makes us feel powerless. It seems as if our religions, our governments and these large corporations have taken anything we can do completely out of our hands, we billions of people, and put all the power into the hands of the few. And the larger these entities get, the more helpless we feel to do anything about the devistation we see because of these entities so, we reach for hope. We reach for leaders. We grasp at staw dogs. And there are plenty of straw dogs to go round.
What we should be doing here is concentrating our efforts in the field of energy and restoring our natural resources, thereby leading with hope. Not doing just another paper, like a capstone but taking it to fruition. And we should also be concerned with Fukushima because if there is a problem there, it is killing people as I type, and it will affect all of us. I wonder with all the turmoil ... are we going to be able to do that?
