MLK

as a society, a country, a world as a whole... i have no idea where exactly we will go. generations of the past have met, and arisen to the challenges of life time and time again. overcoming disease.. wars.. natural disasters.. etc. but as of late, i have realized that, specifically americans, are creating entirely new problems that we will someday have to face. crisises of health, temperament  financial stability, education, etc- all seem to be imminent. mlk dreamed of equality for all. and to this day, this has continued to be only a dream. this dream seems even more unlikely than in the days of the past.. i mean at least then, our problems were clear cut enough. racism, intolerance, illegitimate wars.. etc. but nowadays we have GMO's, cancer, atomic bombs... its like.. well damn.. and yea i know that was sort of broader that what mlk was trying to address directly with equality and all, but even that has fallen off. no one stood up to take his or malcolms place. that whole movement just stopped all together. it is still at a standstill half a century later. and to be honest, not many care anymore. this is what concerns me most. i mean, we can all see this shit (all the problems i mentioned earlier), but we ignore it like the government did the current debt crisis. as if it will just go away.. (were gonna have to repay those trillions of dollars, literally and figuratively) its all gonna come back someday.. thats just how things work.

- it has long fascinated me how human beings can be trained to accept anything (religion/politics), live anyway (ghettos/hoods), become anything (docotor/nazi).. ANYTHING. and live "life" without question.
