Indicating Factors to a Cultural Revolution

These are in no particular order:

Age gap between the young and old. Old ideas, clash with new ideas.

"Future shock", alvin toffler very insightful. This is happening read the book. Like culture shock, but future shock happens when the tech grows too fast and the old get left behind

Information gap. This goes along with future shock, it's the leading indicator of revolution. This also coincides with mis-information, lies spread to undermine a cause.

Morality gap. I'm not even talking about religion, just morality in general. The difference between what is acceptable in different parts of the country or world.

Widespread corruption. I can't believe the corruption I have seen in the last 4 years. This is just the beginning.

Tax hikes. Tax hikes always lead to people paying more attention to politics, which causes them to question why they pay certain taxes. Come on $7 for taxes on your cell phone, that's insane.

More government interference. Like the FCC going after indecency. Are you kidding me. A government body not elected by the people put in positions of power are going to tell you what you can or cannot watch and listen to.

It only takes a match to light the fire, and the kindling is dry as...hell....hahaha...anyways.

I see it happening in 2 ways. Either Bush will get re-elected and things will go awry for another 4 years. The world balance will be upset, and massive protests will follow a collapse of the new Democratic Iraq. Or Kerry gets elected, erases the tax cuts and plunge the US into a depression unknown to anyone who is alive. Coupled with a terrorist attack in the US it will bring about the biggest protests since the 60's.

These things don't have to happen they are just paths that this world can take. The world is ripe for the young to take over. They are suppressed, they can't find work, and they are lost in a world that doesn't understand that they are the future. I understand, I've seen it before. It will be a dark time, but not for long and on the other side of the darkness the world will evolve into a society that better understands not only each other, but also themselves. People will look back on this time and think it's medieval compared to the innovation that is waiting happen. It will happen, but who will light the match?

It's still me. Assuming you are correct, it is neither wise nor advantageous to vote into office Bush or Kerry. Of course we didn't vote Bush into office to begin with. Who do you think would make the better president?

Well, I don't like Bush's religious agenda on that alone I would not vote for him. Be wary of the preacher who wants you to convert for he is miserable and misery loves company. I do like his economic agenda and his social engineering program (namely engineering the whole middle east).

The best President of the two will be Kerry, he is strong and rich and if he sticks to his promises can make a difference. He likes power and for that reason you have to watch him.

If I could could sway the masses I would have you all vote for Nader. He's a rebel, intelligent, and doesn't bow to anyone. He has the american spirit that america has forgotten. He would light a fire the heavens could see. As the election gets closer I will reveal a more detailed synopsis of politics.

I've always liked Nader, because he is a rebel. That's just me, part of who I am. But I wonder if he is what America needs now. I mean, does he suit the times? He did years ago, but I'm not convinced that he would be the best choice today. I couldn't tolerate voting for Bush, as I've always thought he looks a bit like you (sorry) and his beliefs are so opposite to mine, and Kerry, well, I'm not so sure that he's any different than the rest of them. I mean, who can you trust these days? Certainly not a politician.

It's not about who is right for the job anymore, really it's about change. I mean that's why I tried to shake up the heaven's, you get so used to business as usual and you forget that things change, and the dem's and the rep's have forgotten that the world has moved on and we need real change.

So I'm all about change, choice and going out on the edge. Limit's are made to be pushed, laws are made to be broken. Choice is made when you have one, and right now 2 choices are putting a limit on your free-will.

I guess I'm all about change too. Maybe I lean more towards the Libertarian Party. Although, someone once told me I was an Anarchist. Ha!
