This weekend I watched the program "The People Speak" on the History Channel. It was a great program, and probably wasn't what most people initially expected it to be. Anyway, I picked up on a lot of new things when watching it. One, I'm not the only person who feels the way I do about the world. Two, there are a lot of awesome people in the world. Three, that Bob Dylan totally rocks my socks (actually, I already knew that). Carrying on...
Let's start with number one; seeing as that would make the most sense chronologically. Although I may sometimes feel I'm alone in this world and there's no one I can relate with, I know there are people out there. Maybe not near me now, but someday in the future. Today at lunch, a droog and I were having a great disscussion about "things" in general. For example, why do we stand for the pledge? We don't have freedom, because if we did, there wouldn't be as many problems in society as there is. Plus, a flag is a representation. Nothing more. Yet we as Americans are supposed to pledge allegiance to a flag; a piece of cloth. Anyway, it reminded me of a part of "The People Speak" of an African-American woman's reasoning as to why she doesn't stand for the pledge or sing the national anthem. It was really interesting. When you think about things like that, you realize that there are "cracks in the armor."
Why should these things be expected of the people if they aren't true, or abided by?
...yeah, I couldn't tell you.
