Reply #172: This is just wrong - We need to Destroy America

[dubeskin]

After having not posted for a long time (but still lurking) this has got to me to post again.

As one of the few high schoolers who post here, I want to say, that I REALLY hope, that when I'm 20, Bush, or another family member, isn't in the official position of what was known as the presidency. This is just wrong. Ten years from now I don't want to have to watch what I say or do, and be arrested because of one small flick of the eye which indicated I was against the government. The more and more I read, what was the just government of the United States of America, has become the Clearly Politically Divided Regions of a Landmass in a fascist state.

I've always wanted to do a small experiment, and take 1000 Republicans and 1000 Democrats, give them a 100 sq mile area, and actually make it another country. They have to make a government, and survive the longest. I always thought it would be interesting to see how completely different the results were.

The more news headlines I see with "Bush" in the title are sending off the little beeping noise in your head, that says "You need to do something. This isn't right." Looking at history, all fascist nations have ended up being destroyed internally, many times because of the large dissenting factions. I'm just going to say this. Maybe the only way, to actually change The United States of America, and bring justice, happiness and life to the landmass we call North America, is to completely abolish, and change it ourselves.

From The Declaration of Independence
http://www.ushistory.org/declaration/document/index.htm
We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty, and the pursuit of Happiness. That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed. That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, having its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness. Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shown that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security. Such has been the patient suffrance of these Colonies; and such is now the necessity which constrains them to alter their former Systems of Government. The history of the present King of Great Britain is a history of repeated injuries and usurpations, all having in direct object the establishment of an absolute Tyranny over these States.

Perhaps I'm just a radical high schooler looking for change. But 40 years ago, high schoolers were taking action. Entertainment rallied in support of change. Constant protests to raise awareness of how large a base there was for change. Many of the things going on now, happened then. The only difference is that now, in the age in which technology reigns, it seems logic has died. Even though it's easier to gather support and work for change, people don't.

Even the side that stands for justice, the people, and protecting their rights, the Democratic Party, is sitting back, twiddling their fingers, while a tyrant gains control of the country. Representatives, Senators, and the President are all ELECTED BY THE PEOPLE, FOR THE PEOPLE. If THE PEOPLE don't feel the same way as their "elected" officials, then something really is wrong.

As many have already mentioned, few media outlets will cover this. Too many people care about how Paris Hilton feels about jail, or are curious if that one guy is a fit father for Anna Nicole's baby.

It's time for change. Massive change. If Bush is still President when I turn 20, I will know your generation has failed us.

It's time for change. Now. For the next generation, which desperately needs your help.
