Apparently I am not expressing myself adequately. Wouldn't be the first time.

ER....as I have stated previously, I am fully aware of the whole wealth and power thing and how the every day schumcks are collateral damage.

But does that mean it has to remain so? As Obama said in his election campaign, and failed miserably in doing so afterwards, *Be The Change.* Zombies can not be the change unless we address a core issue. An understanding of what the majority wants. If we just continue to regurgitate the "how awful government is", we can not effect change. Cynicism occurs and we shrivel up and die. The human being needs to believe that what is good and right might survive. It is pretty basic. But we can't even get through the first hurdle of defining what We the People want. We want things better. That is all we know. Better...How better?

Now...I believe there are two fundamental schools of thought that propel our society. Victim. Not a victim. The more empowered we are on an individual intrinsic level, equality does not even enter into the equation, as it would become a result of empowerment. When I speak of empowerment, I am NOT referring to the rich raping the poor...or bullies...it is a paradigm shift of believing that given the freedom , we can accomplish anything we set our minds to. Every last one of us. Even if that means all we want is a box to live in and a dog to pet....It is our choice.

I am clearly referring to individual value systems.
