21st Century

It's so very interesting that when you in high school your teachers will tell you about all the advancements that have made by mankind. They will tell you about how we've become a civilized race and left our barbaric past behind thousands and thousands of years ago.

I say really! By whose standards are we civilized? We are still making war on people who don't agree with us. We are trying to get other peoples resources if they refuse to sell them to us by means of war. We even attack people in our own country when they refuse us access to their land which is their right. Especially if they are a sovereign nation.

Some of you know this, some of you don't! Right now we have oil companies and law enforcement arresting people on a reservation because they don't want oil pipelines going through their land because their afraid it will contaminate their water supply. They are being violently attacked as though they are criminals. The women are being arrested and put in cells stripped of their clothes. This doesn't sound civilized to me! It sounds down right barbaric!

Oh and the finally is that the Gov't seems to think that they can vote on selling off native land for their own financial gain when this land never belonged to them. These are the same people that are allowing food companies to buy up public water supplies and then resell the water to the highest bidder. This is the insanity of the 21st century that no one writing about the future could have predicted the amount of greed is almost historic to the very reason we left Europe to get away from this very type of Gov't.

The only thing that history has taught is that corruption will turn in on itself and eventually devour itself.
