Advocating Change

THE EX PRESIDENT OF UKRAINE, having lately been on the lamb, has resurfaced, in Russia, of course. Maybe he could end up sharing an apartment with Edward Snowden, under Putin's protection. And who says that American melodrama is the best in the world? Not surprisingly, the ex Ukrainian president is claiming to still be the President; so addicting is power, that we prefer hullucinating to giving it up. Did the members of the ruling oligarchy, those immediately below the President, panic, and kick out their own leader? All those deaths in the streets of Kiev seem to have been the catalyst, to've sealed the deal. The tree of liberfty will from time to time need to be nourished with the blood of tyrants and patriots, said Jfferson. The masses at the bottom of the pyramid could never free themeselves, other than by dying. Just as in the French and American revolutions, the upper middle class and nobility overthrow the despot, with gentle, but persistent pressure from below. And wouldn't it be nice if the lowly teeming masses all over the world started doing the same thing; starting ganging up, organizing, and making their demands known to the powers that be? I wouldn't exactly count the idea out, if I were you. In the age of the internet, simultaneous communication among a large number of people is more feasible than ever; the platform for true popular dissent is in place. "If the people become inattentive to the affairs of government, the legislators and magistrates will divide society into two classes: wolves, and sheep" said Jfferson. That already happened, long since. Our task, we the masses, is to take control, and equalize the classes.
