Something has happened in Greece one of the birthplaces of civility. People are running through the streets, cars are burning, TV stations are overrun, and signs are hung from the Acropolis. "Revolt" the people and sign say, "Revolt".
What has happened here? Something has happened. It has all changed. Not just in Greece, not just in Europe, but the world. The Greeks are fighting because their governments army is out of control. The destructive nature of this army has lead to the death of a teenage boy and thus the rage of a society. Even as the news tries to show the horrible burning of once beautiful places the idea of a "revolt" doesn't seem offensive. Civil unrest is not being looked down on by society. Something has happened.
Will historians have a clear catalyst for the difference or will they call all this a footnote for something that never spread; that these Greeks were not from seeds of something new.
And what of us. What have we done? Have we "Changed"? We voted for "Change", but have we. So far we have lost our economies, lost our jobs, and erased our futures (401k). What has happened? Have we stood up? Have we run through the streets and put up signs? Or have we just waited...waited for systems to fix itself. It is clear our leaders can duck and dodge insults, but can they fix this? Are we to keep waiting while it all comes to a stop? 10.3 million of us are now out looking for something to give, yet no one is helping. The ones at the top are still trying to figure out what happened. They ponder "why did the cards fall" as we know the truth of it all. The bosses at the top have not planned for the future, so we must.
But what will happen? Will it be torches of anger or voices of progress? Are we locked up waiting for January 20th, 2009? Is that when we try?
What do we do till then?
It's beginning to snow are we ready for winter?
I hope so.
Something has happened. Society has "changed". What once were just countries became worlds, and a small flame an ocean of fire.
End Transmission
