Reading harold_maude's journal

I've been looking at youtube alot lately. Alot of stuff to see.
Alot of history on there, things from past shows that are no longer on the air, and things that people have caught on camera and have put out there for the world to see.

I saw something today and for the first time it hit me, that this land I love is being herded into a place where the word freedom may become something we won't be able to speak outloud for very much longer.

I saw what appears to be concentration camps here in america.
They stand empty now, but if things keep going the way they are they won't be empty for very much longer.

I watched a movie the other night called "zietgeist" And it scared me. Truely scared me. I had heard many things about the govement, and have seen many terrible things happen in this country in the last 5 or so years. But this movie, it scared me.
It was eye opening in a way that makes me understand that the saying "if they do this in the greenwood, immagine what they will do in the dry" is about.

I have been having more dreams about terrible wars and terrible loss of life. Thoes dreams scare me, because they are so real, tangable.

Other things have begun to make me feel the tide of the terrible rising, people who go about life seemingly oblivious to anything but the mall and shopping and the latest reality crapola that is being churned out of the hollywood pit.

It would seem that there is a mass effort to put people to sleep.
The freedom to speak one's mind is now something that a person has to be careful about because someone might take it wrong, and everything could just collapse in on a person.

It reminds me of what I've read in the history books about the salem witch trials.

There is something else that I read a long time ago, that when the rulers of a country are honorable men, just in all they do, the land and the people will prosper, but when wicked men come into power the people suffer much...that is a rough translation, but through out history we can see the truth of that.

Absoult power corrupts absoulty. And the whole of humanity suffers.
See on this planet it isn't seperate nations that should be our concern, but it should be that we are all connected because we are all of the same species, human....
It's not the color or belief system that defines us, it's the fact that we all have the same thing going on....WE ARE ALL HUMAN!
I wish the goverments of the world would stop using the people under their care to fight their wars.
I would love to see a huge rock um sock um all out go for the works battle, and the players brought on to the field would be all the leaders of every country that has a problem with another country. Let them beat the crap out of each other, and leave the rest of us alone to live in peace with each other.

I've met people from many places, and guess what they are all really nice folks. What we discover is that outside of difference in clothes and a few problems with speaking different languages, they basicly want the same thing as me.
To live a life that is peaceful and happy.

It's the leaders that have the problem. And what makes me really sad is that they send thousands of husbands, wives, sons and daughters into wars that thoes leaders never go near.
They won't send their kin to fight their war, so they send someone elses.
And the sad truth is that when you look at it, thoes people, just like you and just like me are considered expendable.
It sucks.

The leaders need to just knock it off and grow up.

It only looks that way because your standing on your head.
