A Man Chooses, A Slave Obeys...

During the past couple weeks, I've been finding it hard to find time to put my thoughts together about what to work on next....that and I've had some downtime to work on other things as well. In particular, I've been playing a couple of games in the Bioshock series and it kinda had me thinking. In the most recent, its a city in the sky, where basically they did not agree with the politics during that time period so they seceded  into a floating city where they could govern themselves led by a "prophet" who pretty much controlled everything anyways. It made me think about how today, nobody cares about what is going on, they will just blindly do what they are told because it is easier and doesn't take any thought. Most in my generation either do not care about the state of the country or how the president doesn't care about their rights and is willing to take them away to make it easier for him to further his own agenda. The lies, the executive orders, and the backhanded deals, but hey "what difference does it make".

I remember when Obama was elected. I was in college, an I had a friend from South Africa that was with me when it happened. He was so happy to have a "black president" and didn't really understand what was happening, but then again, he didn't care. He couldn't even vote anyways so really, it didn't effect him in the slightest what was happening to our country that day. That is what happened with most college students. They wanted to have something different. My roommate voted for him (which she later apologized for). I was surrounded by sheeple...
Instead of doing the research, instead of looking at the bills he wanted to put through during his presidency....the thought scared me even then. I'm sure they are beginning to understand now, now that they are working for themselves, paying bills, and wondering where their paycheck is going and what the government is doing with it. Wondering how those on EBT can have an iphone and get the newest Nike's? Yeah well they didn't work for it, it comes out of the paychecks of those actually working 9-5 without the ability to afford most necessities let alone the latest and greatest. But that's ok right? were contributing to the greater good of those less fortunate. From an early age, i was taught that you get what you work for. Guess that that no longer applies...

I honestly still do not understand how our "great and powerful leader" is still in office... HE IS TRYING TO TAKE AWAY YOUR RIGHTS PEOPLE!!! AND YOU DON'T FUCKING CARE!!! This is what is wrong with our once great nation. It was built on the belief that we were getting out from under a tyrannical ruler, but now we have just replaced it with another. Your right to free speech, your right to keep and bear arms, they are looking to take these things away. They've started performing warrant-less search and seizure of homes, hell, how lawful is throwing a flashbang grenade through an open window where it "accidentally" lands in a babies play pen and injures the child so much that they have to induce a coma? Where is the outrage? Where is the public standing up and saying "enough is enough, you don't own me". Everyone has gotten so stuck on their routine and being so glued to technology that they care more about the newest iphone or gadget then about the NSA invading their privacy or the safety of their family. Or those that expect someone else to pay for their kids because they don't have a job... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RBqjZ0KZCa0  This....there is no explanation for this. But this is what has happened to our nation.

The upcoming generation needs a serious bitch slap right in the reality. I have never seen a group so entitled and spoiled in my life. If i had spoken to my parents the way that most kids do today, i would have gotten slapped in the mouth and sent to my room as i would quiver in fear. Now, you would get sent to jail or put on probation for child abuse. A child can utter the words "child protective services" and parents are now the one's quivering. However, they do not understand that they are the problem. "my child isn't spoiled they are just well provided for"....yes, and everyone else that is in the store while your child is having a meltdown over not getting what they want is thinking..."aw how sweet" NO they are thinking "man, that kid is an asshole".

Now, I personally do not have children, but when I do make that decision, A. I will be providing for my children and not expecting anyone else to do so, and B. will not let technology raise my child because i don't want to do it. I mean really, sometimes I almost wish for an EMP, just so people will lift their eyes from their smartphone and see what is happening in the world. Something has seriously got to change. Per my title (thank you Steel Ibeam and Bioshock :) and btw this applies to women too) A Man Chooses. A Slave Obeys....which are you?
