What I will say.... You are responsible for YOU

As you sit in front of your television or video game zoning out, attempting to escape the reality of the day, week, month or year, remember...you are responsible for you.  While you sit there watching reality television, which is not reality at all, just entertainment, remember ... your livelihood is being controlled by wealthy men and women, in your local and national legislature.  While you unwittingly hand over your power (your freedom...which is being eroded daily) to that group of people mentioned above and you use the excuse that "politics"(

has nothing to do with you, remember... YOU are responsible for you.  You are responsible for the outcome in your hourly, daily, weekly, monthly and yearly life because you will not, would not, did not get involved in the very "Political" process that affects every facet of your life.   YOU are responsible for YOU.  You are responsible to stay informed, to question what you read and hear from mainstream media (which in my opinion is "propagandize" news).  You are responsible not to allow yourself to remain complacent and non reactive to what is happening to you and your neighbors. [FORECLOSURE, UNEMPLOYMENT,HOMELESSNESS, POVERTY] ... YOU are responsible for YOU!!!  You are responsible for ... whatever hardship you might or will be experiencing in your life today, tomorrow, next week, month, YEAR... because YOU are allowing others, who have no concern for your well-being, to speak for you in your local and national legislature.  So as you sit in front of your television or video game ... doing nothing to change your circumstances...Remember ...YOU are responsible!!!
