Prophet Blue: A House Divided Cannot Stand

With the help of the Media, politicians, special interest groups and just about anyone that has some money today has twisted the truth to the point that we are approaching a general gridlock.


The number of issues along with the number of agendas, both public and secret are innumerable  
The Global mind set today could be defined as "What the Market Could Bear". Everyone from entrepreneurs to politicians to fisherman are trying to milk it ("it"=the environment, economy, system, etc)  for all that it's worth and more. Many bystanders are in a state of apathy at this moment and we should beware that a state like this could lead to further and deeper class divisions, extremisms, demagoguery, revolt and dictatorships.


As a new generation is handed insurmountable responsibilities in the form of national debt, lack of international respect and little education to perform above a mediocre level; unless we are indeed the "All Consuming Generation" we must wonder it the price paid for our so called "success" was worth it.


Over two hundred years ago, despite their own personal fallacies the founding Fathers of this Nation gave birth to the idea of a "Pluralistic Government". For decades we have prized and encouraged individualism. We have increased our tolerance for each other's differences from religion to sexual preferences only to have empowered beliefs that given fruit will smother our generation's social accomplishments. 


We, The American People, during our state of individual contentment have allowed ourselves to be led by Pied Pipers who have effectively colored a picture of unheralded success in the form of money and material acquisitions. At some point we must accept that the ideals of Democracy, Pluralism and Individuality have been eclipsed by the greed of many. We have to see that many in power believe that mankind in general must be placed in the constraints of a yoke, this being nothing more that justification for the betrayal of the power bestowed upon them by The People's belief in Democracy if a politician, by consumer's belief in a product if a business.


We cannot regress to the belief that "Man" in general cannot have "Free Will" and therefore we must exercise a degree of common sacrifice for the betterment of our fellow man. There has to be "Balance" by way of a common goal or this Nation and the idea of Democracy is headed into oblivion. History repeats itself and we have countless governments of the past to examine as case studies.
"Democracy" is a state of Utopia the human race can strive to achieve. But we, the public have to bear the responsibility to demand from those elected officials the trust we have offered and that they have "unselfishly" sought election to keep or indeed we are to be reduced to nothing more than yoked beasts.
