Our society has many problems. More ills than the days of Noli Me Tangere and the cancers described. In actual fact, those cancers have morphed into something even worse, faster growing and more deadly, and we don’t have Jose Rizal to write about it anymore. We do have some bloggers who have so much to share, but maybe it’s the acquired apathy of being screwed over for so long, or the hunger that others feel so they don’t have enough energy to focus on rallies and taking a stance or that there are too many blogs people get confused..I’m not really sure where the problem lies..
The situation is so complex now its hard to determine exactly who needs to act to get a serious uprising, a serious government willing to pave the way for us, and, from my green perspective, a serious citizen, willing to fight against environmental issues.
It has been proven over time, that one man can make a difference, that people who stand together can make a change. The question is, aren't you sick of how things are right now? And what you are you going to do about it?
Did you join the rally or was it just 'so init' you couldn't stand the heat? Do you sit in your car alone driving to work, happy about your 'quiet time', not even thinking twice about carpooling and utilizing resources a little better?
Tell me your stomach didnt turn when the senate took in the whole video scandal, with matching throwing of water on that idiot who got caught taping his girls. I couldn't even stomach watching the telenovela unfold, in real time, with the boy looking over his shoulder saying 'my life could be in danger, they could have people in here'..
I deserve a better government, one that stands for my rights, for my basic needs. You deserve a better government, one that is just and moral and with dignity. We all deserve a better country.
I am angry. You should be too. If there were a rally here in Laos, I would travel the 4 hrs to Vientiane to attend it, to show that I am sick and tired of this all.
With great power comes great responsibility, don't people get that anymore?
