We the People, Making It Happen

TECHNOLOGY IS BEING DEMOCRATIZED. In other words, more and more people are gaining access to high tech opportunities, which means potential wealth and power. Especially power. All people should have the same power, even if they do not have the same wealth. Technology is making the world more democratic; at least, it has the power to do so, if only we the people make it so, allow it to happen. We do want more democracy, do we not? We want more power to go to the people, the poor working masses, the billions. Power to the people. Technology was formerly exclusively in the hands of an elite wealthy powerful few, but no more. Billions of people have cell phones. Now that Apple has signed a contract with China, billions more will soon have them. Trust me; American corporations know how to market, advertise, and sell. A protest movement like "Occupy Wall Street" or the Arab spring or the current uprising in Kiev, Ukraine, or the civil war in Syria, can be fomented and organized entirely online, or by phone. IN the Syrian civil war, the rebels are making grenades, rocket launchers, and all manner of other weapons in their basements and backyards. Even I, poor I, poor meek, humble harmless I..have a laser gun which I aim at overhead aircraft, in direct violation of American federal law. So we're all little monsters, in our own way. What we the people need to do, since there are so many of us, and we are so powerless and poor...what we should do, is: organize. We should organize a world wide coalition of the powerless and poor people. Greater economic, political, and social equality would be our aim. And its all possible because of the democratizing potential of technology, which is something our corporate masters evidently didn't think about, until now. Now that our elite wealthy corporate masters are thinking about it, they, or rather, their obedient servants who control the American government by holding elective political offices, are trying to control and destroy internet and telephone freedom. We mustn't let it happen.
