The Brutal Honesty

I haven't written in here lately, why, because I haven't felt the urge to write a lot. I think it has something to do with the fact that I'm not in any classes where I have to write a lot. Hence, me not wanting to write, or whatever.

So it might be slow, or it might not.

The world right now is like a tinderbox waiting to explode. There is so much going on, and sooner or later, it will ignite into a conflagration that hasn't been seen in decades. With "revolutions" going on in the Middle East, and the United States about see a class war break out, things are not looking good. The gap between the middle class and those at the top is growing too large, and it needs to be closed. Some of the arguments for why this is being done is just flat out criminal. There is a governor out of control in Wisconsin. It is only a matter of time before blood will be shed there.

For those living under a rock, here is the gist of what is going on. Wisconsin's freshman governor has a bill going through the state congress that will all but dissolve public worker unions. Unions are hugely important in this country. A big reason, it may sound contradictory to what democrats stand for, but it makes sense, is that unions are the main funder democrats for election season. Donations around election time, within the top ten donations three come for democrat unions, the other seven come from corporate right funds. With unions being dissolved that would create a monopoly for election donations. The democrats would stand no chance in elections without union funding.

Unions are more important that just for the election funding, the represent the people in the work place. They are the reason we have minimum wage, safe working places, and important benefits from work. Without these the working class would be nothing more than 1600's peasants, not to say that we aren't heading there anyways.Yes, they get a bad rap when a strike breaks out, but it is to protect their employees when they see something wrong. Unions can crack if they see that a strike will hurt their employees. This time there is no cracking, we crack this time unions are done.

If this bill passes in Wisconsin, it will be the first domino to fall. The rest of the country where there are "budget problems" will try to get rid of unions. It is a matter of time. The party of no compromise needs to make a compromise and scrap this bill. If it passes, and other states their dissolution of unions, there will be a all out class war. Not a civil class war, but one with actual fighting and blood shed on American soil. It will be a second American Revolution. Not an anti-government revolution that the republicans want you to believe, but rather a anti-conservative rebellion.

I have a bigger beef with the conservative movement than I like to show. Most know that I might as well border on a atheist, so I have some really good sticking point about the whole conservative movement. I'll save that for later though.

Sometimes the scariest things aren't what's hiding behind the door, but rather what is on the horizon. Are we facing our end, or is there a brighter future? For now this is to be determined.-SS
