Thought for the Day: Think before Acting
August 13th 2009 15:48
The ongoing battle that is ensuing concerning health care reform is completely ridiculous and very unnecessary. American citizens are not acting rational and peacefully going to town hall discussions with legitimate questions and concerns on their minds to speak before their state congressman, but instead are acting like school aged children on the playground trying to out yell one another to see who can be the loudest and most obnoxious. Death threats and swastikas are being volleyed at congressman who support President Obama's health care reform bill. Radical Republican talking heads like Newt Gingrich and others are yelling on National television networks and radio shows that with Obama's reform bill will come death squads and elderly people being forced to die to cut back costs.
Why is this going on? Am I the only sane person that is completely and utterly confused by the mass majority of the things being said that make no sense at all? I mean death squads and elderly people being forced to die to cut costs, are you kidding me? What's so sad and scary is the idiots who are actually buying into this crap and taking to streets armed with signs of ignorance against reform, or who are clogging up the internet with stupid comments about not wanting to be consumed by communism and socialism, or better yet the Republicans and yes some Democrats too who are pushing this propaganda to anyone moron who'll give them the time of day.
Has anyone actually taken the time to stop and read Obama's bill? Has anyone actually taken the time to stop and really listen to what's being said, processing it, and then coming to a realistic point of view about reform? Obviously not because people were actually thinking before acting, then maybe all this craziness wouldn't be going on. I thought we were in the United States of American, not some country with a dictator dictating to us what to think, what to say, what to write, and how to act and react. I didn't know we were becoming George Orwell's "1984" with Big Brother coming over the loudspeaker and forcing us to chant 'B, B, B, B'! If this is where we're heading, then I hope I have a mind that's totally secluded from manipulation.
When are we all going to wake up and realize that we need to start back to thinking about what's being fed us through the media, not the liberal or right wing media, but the media period. When are we going to start researching for ourselves the pros and cons of any reform to anything that will effect us all as American citizens and not just the have nots? When are we going to stop being so consumed with race and hatred for a black man, and have respect and admiration for a President who's trying to bring our economy back to a respectable and manageable state of being? When are we going to force people to take responsibility for the actions of former administrations that allowed us to get to the point where we are today?
The thought for today is a simple one. It's so easy, most of us do it all the time without even really trying. The thought for today is to 'Think before Acting'. If you can take the time to think about what I'm writing and agree with or disagree with it because you're either ultra conservative or ultra liberal, then use that same energy to discern what makes logical sense and what doesn't before taking to a town hall meeting and disrupting what should be a chance to help make change, not hinder it. Think!
