Vancouver....Evicted, New York....Evicted, Toronto.....Evicted. Montreal.....Evicted.....etc.
Pick any city in Canada, North America or World Wide and you will find pretty much the same thing happening to the "Occupancy Protests."
The courts in Toronto has decided that your democratic right is not as important as noise levels for people that live near St. James Park. The court in Toronto has decided that your democratic right is not as important as people being afraid to go to the park.
So what's next???...maybe the courts will stop you from speaking in public. Maybe the courts will stop you from writing down your opinions. Maybe, just maybe, the courts will stop you from thinking at all. (i am pretty sure that we are almost at the level now really.)
You don't think so??? Let's find out shall we....Ask your parents what the lack of technology did for them? I am sure they will tell you that they survived quite nicely without it. I am sure they would say that there was less government interference in their everyday lives. I am sure they would say that there was no such thing as chronic consumerism. That there were less childhood illnesses, less mental problems, less obesity, less allergies, less disease and less crime. So explain again how technology and government control has benefited you?
Let's start with your morning....you are a slave to your alarm clock. You rise at the same time designated to you each day. The first think you do is check your calls missed or your emails. You shower, dress and stop at the same place for coffee each day. You get to work at the same time by design and you begin EXACTLY where you left of the previous day. At the end of the day you get into your vehicle and drive in the same boxed traffic that you always have. Your food, entertainment and weekend chores are dictated by what you think you need to do. You buy the brands asked of you, you watch the channels shown to you and you do the chores in sequence.
You are a law-abiding citizen and you follow all the rules and pay up all the fees and licences asked of you by the government with no questions asked. (why exactly do we need a fishing licence, a dog tag licence or a permit to park???) PRETTY DAMNED CLOSE AREN'T I?!!!
SO WHAT you say...its the way it is. Why is it the way it is? Why do we just accept it to be that way? How did it get that way?
I am sure you think that these "Occupancy People" are fighting a losing battle, that they are freezing their tails off for something that will never change. Well you are wrong! Change begins within the individual.
And instead of laughing at these souls that are trying to make a point, you should be supporting them.
Well what is their point??? It's pretty clear if you have been paying attention.
They want what we all want, but are afraid to admit it. They want to be released from the burden of consumerism and the gains of the few and the growing despair of the many. They want equality. Not such a bad idea if you ask me.
HOW CAN I MAKE A DIFFERENCE you ask? There are 2 things you can do. The first is to stop and think how the 'haves' have accumulated so much and how the 'have nots' seem to be falling behind in our world. The second thing you can do is find a way to make it know to the government, the corporations and the world that ENOUGH IS ENOUGH.
HOW OH HOW....??? By just STOPPING! Stop overspending, Stop being materialistic, Stop burying yourself in front of the TV set, Stop participating and giving over to the 'haves'. You don't have to carry a sign, walk down to the financial district and chant Cum by ya. Just STOP supporting the corporations and government that have you by the short hair.
Can you do that? Can you live without a little comfort to support? If you don't, you may be sitting in line at a soup kitchen or cooking over a fire to survive.
Check out the cost of Gas, Hydro, Food and Taxes.....when was the last time you seen them go DOWN??!
We are the ready-made disposable society and they are playing on our desire for the big easy to keep us poor and dumb. And so far.....THEY ARE SUCCEEDING.
It's only going to get uglier my friends.....ARE YOU PREPARED?
