The reflection being presented is an analysis on the nature of human control. It is presented in the “prose” form to emphasize on the personal view and aspect of control focusing on the how its wrong for masses of society than good. It also explores how industry and government use control to fuel insecurity and distrust and in the long term we’re more the worse.
A Man once talked about the sad sad truth and the dirty low down. He said that somebody had a "jones" for this and a "jones" for that, that this running with the jones boy he sure knows where its at. It sounds kinda simple, buts what’s in a word? What’s in a line? Finally, what do you the individual understand and learn from it?
To me "the sad sad truth" is that people always want to be right. Whether they're right or wrong, being right seems to be the way to go. Take for instance this past Saturday my parents had an argument about the Soxs and Cubs. My mom's a cubs fan while my dad and I are fans of the Soxs, he called Cub fans liars and losers and my mom called Sox fans sluts and asses. This led to other less significant issues but with greater hostilities. Either way the argument was pointless and made everyone feel worse about the situation, but the goal to be right was still the goal for the both of them at any cost.
One problem with being right is that it morphs everyday concepts into bias threats, Truths become excuses, facts are suspicions, beliefs become agendas and opinions as lack of judgment. One example is the strike that is happening with Mechanics against Northwest Airlines, people are seen honking in favor of their struggle yet those at the top of business government see it as long as the company makes then the worker and the consumer equally are irrelevant. This is seen in similar cases such as Wal Mart and Enron yet the leadership could care less since it makes money that’s all that counts and all that counts is good.
Another instance happened just today, Pat Robertson said that we the U.S. should kill Hugo Chavez the President of Venezuela, because he's not in line with our policy. Ironically our government saids "he shouldn't of said that" instead of disagreeing and denouncing him on both sides. Yet like always the right's in his pocket and left will stick to any opinion polls and to hell with the rest. Another is pot, I don't smoke but the state will put anyone in the joint if you grow it to smoke or do anything else with, why you would ask? Simple, pot is a socialist product because you can make anything out of it and its meant for all the key principle of socialism and in this country socialism is a mortal sin.
We were taught as kids that the future would be bright and the sky to be the limit. In truth we are downtrodden and our people to be taken for shit. So when they talk about the sad sad truth the dirty low down, it means that change should happen when its not and we should be united. In my opinion people gotta get pist off then change can come.
Epilogue
The goal of this paper is to give a feeling of relation to the reader on hypocrisy of control. In such I hope you come from reading this enlightened maybe even entertained. If you disagree I’ll understand (to an extent) yet would like for you to honestly question this topic as well as some of your own ideas. We are all thinking creatures and should not (or at least in this course) leave anything to the imagination. When going down the street, take notice of the adds places and people around and say “is that necessary?” or “what’s led to that idea?” its not a command just a suggestion.
I wish to thank you for your time and interest in this essay.
