Yesterday's blog was a little confusing because there was no real "topic" followed.  Mainly what I was putting out there was the idea that society as a whole is being manipulated (subtle at times) to follow the crowd.  Do what you're told, follow the rules and take whatever is thrown at you with a smile on your face.
I believe this is why we are seeing more protests, riots or demonstrations because there comes a point when a person simply can't take anymore and they are starting to bite back.
Society is beginning to ask the hard questions and want reasonable explanations for what is happening. Why is our economic crisis happening?  What is government doing about it? How can we sustain or prosper in such a downturn? We are asking for an answer to question that no one is prepared to acknowledge as even being spoken.  I am tired of being led around by the nose and told that it's okay to spend millions of dollars on a luxury jail back east but we can't feed the homeless.  I am sick of politicians explaining away expenditures while whole communities are in need of a full time hospital.  Let's build a bridge but leave the potholes and bad main streets alone, let's let water mains break that should have been replaced years earlier so that we can put palm trees down the main thoroughfare.
Where is the accountability and that is what I feel people are starting to fight against.  We need to know why these sort of discrepancies are happening and make sure that something is done about it before we move forward with new construction.

We all want a reasonable, clean, well structured, prosperous, happy community to live in but we won't have it as long as we stand by and allow those with the money to control all aspects of our lives.
