Quote of the Decade:
“Acting as the world’s judge of human rights, the U.S. made arbitrary attacks and irresponsible remarks on the human rights situation in almost 200 countries and regions. If the United States wants to be the self-claimed human rights judge of the world, though China and most countries do not agree, it first needs to sweep its own doorsteps. Otherwise, its words will not be heard, let alone trusted, by other countries. The United States always wants to gossip and remark about other countries’ situations, but ignores its own issues. This is a classic double standard.” -
Qin Gang, Chinese Foreign Ministry
This is exactly right. We have to EARN the right to be called the "Greatest Nation on Earth."
Our
poverty levels,
our infant mortality rates, our horrible education system, energy policies, Oligarchs Plutocracy, Police Brutality, Single payer universal health care and the lack of it, income and tax disparities,
anti-science politicians making scientific decisions for the greater good, Corporate Goons control our WatchDogs; EPA, FDA, etc...this list can go on and on and on.
We have to stop this. We have to stop being the Morality Police, if we can not lead by example. When I became a Petty Officer in the Navy, my Gunnery Sergeant congratulated me, and looked me straight in the eyes and whispered those exact words to me, "lead by example," after asking me if I wanted to know the secret of becoming a Great Leader, one that is respect by all his men and women under his command? And thats when he whispered it. I truly believe thats how one becomes a great leader; locally, regionally, nationally and even globally, be leading by example.
Right now, our country is on a dangerous course, we are rolling back civil rights, allowing our police to become villains and "legal" thugs, we continue to see the Oligarchy on the LEFT and the RIGHT, protect themselves and their investments through legislation and then tell us their hands are tied when it comes to raising minimum wage, single payer health care, free higher education and responsibly financed grade school education. And this list can go on and on.
We must demand better out of ourselves and for ourselves. Our blood, sweat and tears are just as valuable as theirs. Though I know they like to pretend that their blood is priceless and god-like, I happen to know for a fact thats not true. I dont think we are asking for to much. When we're just asking for fairness, safe environments and food stocks, water management and energy management, paid vacations, debt forgiveness (if corporations can declare favorable bankruptcy laws anf receive them, why cant we?), a small cabin somewhere on an acre or two, a couple of kids, a dog and a vehicle that runs, is made well, gets good gas mileage and doesnt put us in the poor house when we buy it or when it needs a part.
We want our children to play openly and freely on the streets without worries from gangs or police. We want everyone in our Country to be able to have a hot meal and a hot shower, and a roof over their head. If we can feed a war machine as many calories as they can get away with, why dont we say enough, and spend that same amount of tax payers money here at a home?
Why do we have to be
Imperialist and have bases in every part of the world? If we have the greatest Military then that should be enough deterrent to not attack us. Also, I bet, I just bet, if we stopped by bombing everyone, creating
Government Coups d'etes, people would stop hating us; and terrorism threats would go down.
Lets finally stop being that bratty child and not listening to advice given to us by others...lets grow up. Lets listen. Lets pay attention. Lets earn the title of being the "Greatest Country on Earth."
