This is in response to two things:
-the blog post "Frank" under my Novels
-AngelLady's 9/11 Distress video in her stash
Clip from the comment I left AngelLady:
- Whether or not 9/11 was planned by the government or the outside, I don't know.
What I do believe is that the United States is very two-faced right now. Those that are unaffected or very indirectly influenced by the government are thriving. I believe that is in the nature of the people. Those involved in or influenced by the government are in a very bad situation. Our politicians are corrupt. The value of human life is less than the dollar. The natural traits of humans - being inconsiderate and selfish - are highly evident in these people.
The United States needs to change. Should the 9/11 attacks be the work of outside "terrorists," they were successful in showing the country's weakness and showed that the government structure and people in government need to change, though the methods they used were horrible and did not by any manner justify the means by which they met their goal. I believe they don't hate Americans. I believe they hate the corruption and greed that inhabits the Americans in charge, but in being soldiers, they "demonize" all Americans along with the bad ones in order to save their consciences.
This might land me in shitloads of trouble, but take this in context and with an open mind.
Something drastic needs to happen to this country to convince people to destroy and rebuild the system. Terrorism as we've experienced is
not the way this should be done. The loss of human life is
not necessary to accomplish this. What
is necessary is to show that our current government system is
incompetent. The people need to be shown that the government cannot deal with the serious issues. The people need to be shown that the government cannot effectively protect us. For those familiar with the novel
Leviathan by Thomas Hobbes, the contract between the people and government has been
broken. The government has not fulfilled the duties charged to it when we as a people allowed the government to manage us. this needs to be fixed. A revolution may or may not be necessary. Something dramatic and highly,
highly provocative needs to happen. The people need to realize something is wrong, unite, and rebuild our government. This is something not easily done. Horrible, horrible things need to happen. This must NOT include the loss of life.
To continue would show me in a bad light. I would recommend a reading: Ghost War by Michael Stackpole. It is a science fiction novel part of a fictional universe (BattleTech), but it details things worth learning about: how to recognize the corruption and steady accumulation of power by government, how to get people to notice such things (LIT), and the need to carefully manage the transition in government structure to prevent the same mistakes from occurring again.
...Or you could just message me, and we'll talk about it ^.^
