Are you true enough?

The election is over. The votes have been cast. The leaders are chosen. They hype is dying down. So did we do the right thing? vote for change, yes we did and did it real well too. So now its time to see that did we do the right thing or not. The opposition has made their mark in this country by showing that the people have their powers too.

Back to the main question. Are they gonna stay true to their words? Are they going to perform? We know that Rome isn't built in one day. It takes time for a change. But are they going to serve the people like what they promised? Coz, they must really remember that we are the reason why they are there. The current MB case has already caused a stir. Just 2 weeks after the election and already this happens. What is going on in there? Not cohesive? So who is going to lead and who is going to follow? There is this line in the marines where they say "Lead, Follow or get out of the way!" So who is leading and who is following and who is getting out of the way?

As long as they work as different parties they will and I repeat WILL NEVER work in cohesion. Unless someone make a stand. Compromise? if there is compromise then there won't be any argument and debates. It is just normal human reaction. Everyone have their own opinion, everyone have their say. Different parties have their different agenda. There is no ONE unit. Be it the ruling government party or not. Even the ruling government are not cohesive. FOR THE PEOPLE? or for MY OWN PEOPLE? Can't we just share? Its like a civil fight. Just like brothers arguing on which football team is better and end up with a fight and only 'mommy' or 'daddy' can stop it. So who is gonna be 'mommy and daddy' for our country? End of the day all we people want is peace and harmony.

So now, lets talk about rights. Everyone have been arguing on who have the rights, its our rights, its our god given rights... bla bla bla yada yada. God given rights? Who in the blue heavens gave you this 'special' rights? No one have rights. No one is being given 'special' rights by the almighty up there. The only rights that the big guy up there gave us is the right to live. Well anyone can claim their rights. But is it right to claim your rights? As George Carlin said "Rights are imaginary, we made them up! just like the boogeyman... the 3 little pigs, pinocchio, mother goose... rights are an idea, they are imaginary" So who have what rights now?!

Like We say again and again, all the people wants is peace, harmony and a safe environment. We don't really give a rat's ass about what qualifications he have. All we want from a leader is to lead and listen to the people. TRY to do what the people request, simple as that. Why do we need to bring flags, logo and name to this. Just do what the people wants.

The opposition or the ruling parties really have to get their act together and stay true to their words if they are going to sustain for the next 4 years.

our time has come



time for change? jesse jackson's speech on "our time has come"

FREEDOM

I found this movie speeches really inspiring. Its about time for change and freedom! check out the clips i put in here. Hope that it will inspire... will you fight?! IF WE UNITE WE CAN FIGHT TYRANNY AND OPPRESSION!!! TOWARDS FREEDOM!!!!!!



"Aye, fight and you may die. Run, and you'll live... at least a while. And dying in your beds, many years from now, would you be willin' to trade ALL the days, from this day to that, for one chance, just one chance, to come back here and tell our enemies that they may take our lives, but they'll never take... OUR FREEDOM!" - braveheart-


"Good evening, London. Allow me first to apologize for this interruption. I do, like many of you, appreciate the comforts of every day routine- the security of the familiar, the tranquility of repetition. I enjoy them as much as any bloke. But in the spirit of commemoration, thereby those important events of the past usually associated with someone's death or the end of some awful bloody struggle, a celebration of a nice holiday, I thought we could mark this November the 5th, a day that is sadly no longer remembered, by taking some time out of our daily lives to sit down and have a little chat. There are of course those who do not want us to speak. I suspect even now, orders are being shouted into telephones, and men with guns will soon be on their way. Why? Because while the truncheon may be used in lieu of conversation, words will always retain their power. Words offer the means to meaning, and for those who will listen, the enunciation of truth. And the truth is, there is something terribly wrong with this country, isn't there? Cruelty and injustice, intolerance and oppression. And where once you had the freedom to object, to think and speak as you saw fit, you now have censors and systems of surveillance coercing your conformity and soliciting your submission. How did this happen? Who's to blame? Well certainly there are those more responsible than others, and they will be held accountable, but again truth be told, if you're looking for the guilty, you need only look into a mirror. I know why you did it. I know you were afraid. Who wouldn't be? War, terror, disease. There were a myriad of problems which conspired to corrupt your reason and rob you of your common sense. Fear got the best of you, and in your panic you turned to the now high chancellor, Adam Sutler. He promised you order, he promised you peace, and all he demanded in return was your silent, obedient consent. Last night I sought to end that silence. Last night I destroyed the Old Bailey, to remind this country of what it has forgotten. More than four hundred years ago a great citizen wished to embed the fifth of November forever in our memory. His hope was to remind the world that fairness, justice, and freedom are more than words, they are perspectives. So if you've seen nothing, if the crimes of this government remain unknown to you then I would suggest you allow the fifth of November to pass unmarked. But if you see what I see, if you feel as I feel, and if you would seek as I seek, then I ask you to stand beside me one year from tonight, outside the gates of Parliament, and together we shall give them a fifth of November that shall never, ever be forgot." - v for vendetta-
