Just Words

Politics. Lawyers. Communists. Majority. Minority. Democrat. Republican. Liberal. Conservative.
These words Have been associated by many men for the very best, and the very worst of ideals. No matter whether one is cynical or realistic, dream or lover, we are all idealists in our own ways. These things alone do not drive their followers to dogmatic zeal. In the belief alone they do not cause harm nor good. Only when propelled to extremes does a shroud of evil descend upon such words. Only when the hearts of men cling to that which their minds disagree does corruption take root.
Seperation, categorization, serialization, stream-lining intents. These are the actions that cause great men to do horrid things. These are the things that divide sweet unification. These are the things that eventually cause great men and ideas to fall.
A man once led his people upon the promise of unification, of public prosperity. This alone is laudable. When such promises are carried on the backs of others, When those suffer do so in order for a people to become unified and prosperous, this is when a great promise, a laudable idea becomes an act of despicable horror.
Yesterday was that man and his corrupt promises.
Today is a different man with the same promises, the same acts. The only difference is nationality and numbers. While the former acted in clear sanity, the present acts with an almost child-like sense of play.
Do not be fooled by propaganda. Do not be tempted by appathy nor disillusionment. Do what is right. Take a look at what is happening, where it is leading, and at what cost. At whatever costs, for whatever reasons, learn what you can about today's world. Determine what paths we are being led down, and do whatever you are able in order to esnure the right of such things. Think for yourself, and take proper course of action.

I leave you with a great speech by a great man:
