The Time is Now

Lately, I have been realizing a lot about this country that makes me sick. Its getting really hard for me to see any good anymore. You know there are many people that are oblivious to what is really going on and there are some that are aware but don't care. The others are a mix of people who are making a difference and others that want to make a difference but don't know how. First of all, it is easy to gain information. Besides reading there are a number of documentaries out there that you can rent or buy that will help you get insight into the world around you. I find film to be exciting and easy to follow so I watch a lot of them. I recently saw two that really pushed me over the edge; Blue Gold: World Water Wars and Walmart: The High Cost of Low Price. Both of these are well worth watching and I highly recommend you check them out asap.

I really wasn't truly aware of the water wars going on in the world right now. I personally don't drink tap water because there is fluoride in it. My boyfriend and I have Poland Spring delivered every month just so we could drink and cook with good water. After watching this film we have decided to cancel our plan. As soon as I find a good filter for our sink we will switch over. I want to get one that is safe and good for the environment and that actually works! It took this one film to change my actions. I feel it is important to make change as soon as you can. No procrastinating! Why sit on your ass any longer when you can make a difference today?

What this film has shown me justifies my feelings toward greed and power. Two things that are the root of all evil. Two things that are running our country and others into the fucking ground. This earth has a system folks. We all learned about it in school. Our eco system works just fine when we take care of it. Sadly, we haven't taken care of it in years and we are all seeing the negative results of that today. In simple terms, the earth has a limited amount of water. It will not go forever, especially at this rate. There are major corporations pumping and taking water from other countries, states and towns and making a profit. Forcing governments to privatize their water supply. Who knew? In an ideal world, we could all drink water that comes from our area and it would be safe and toxic free. But this is not the case. We are wasting our water supply more and more each day, plain and simple. Factory and industrial agriculture, housing and technology have affected how our eco system works and slowly but surely there is land everywhere drying up. Scared yet?

There are people out there fighting for their rights. Strong people who choose to fight the system so that they keep their rights and their right for water. In countries like Africa corporations are humiliating and killing their people for money. Can you imagine only having about a bucket a day of water? Having to pay 25 cents to flush your toilet? What if you had a fire and the fire department came and said, "oh well, we don't have the water to put the fire out, sorry". This is what is going on!! It needs to stop now.

I ask you to please see this film and read the book as well. Do more research and learn what you can do to help. If you care about this country and its water supply than I hope you will stand up and fight back. When people join hands and minds they get stronger and louder. Thats we need! We can make a difference but we have to work at it and we have to do it together.

It seems like this country is all about individual profit and gain. I see it everyday and it makes me angry. I am highly against big corporations who do not care about people, the environment and the country. There are a lot out there. One of which is Walmart. I will admit I have shopped there but I was never a huge advocate of the superstore. The only good thing about the place is its prices. But did you ever think of why they are so cheap? Its not reality. But when you are forcing people in China and other countries to work all fucking day for barely nothing under horrible circumstances you can make it your reality I guess. That's Walmart for ya!

This company is essentially the largest in the world and with profits way past the millions no wonder they have so much power! If you love Walmart and support them than here are just a few fun facts that might change your views:

- their employees get paid crap and can't even take care of their families. Never mind, health care. Walmart designed its health plan so that no one could even afford to take it. This resulting in you paying for it! That's right. All these employees are forced to go on government programs that all you taxpayers are paying for. In fact, Walmart suggests that they do!

- It has also been known for racial discrimination and humiliating its employees. Thats a place I want to work!

- If CEO's are making close to $30 million a year and employees are making just under the federal poverty line, I think there is a problem!

- The company is also a supporter of violence. Yep! When you have crimes, rapes and shootings going on in your parking lots worldwide and you do nothing about it than I figure you support this behavior. Having camera's put up is a start. But when you hire no one to work them than what is the point!

- Walmart has been known to hiring illegal immigrants to clean their stores at night and locking them in. Oh thats fun!

- The chain has put hundreds of local business' out of business resulting in cities and towns going bankrupt. What the fuck ever happened the idea of community?

- The amount of money Walmart receives to build new stores is ridiculous. That money could go to schools, funding for programs and local commerce.

You see, if Walmart is making so much money, and it is, you would think they would have no problem paying and respecting their workers what they deserve. You also would think they would pay to have the best security so that consumers would be safe and feel safe shopping at their stores. This is not the case. Their commercials are bullshit and their company morals are not worth a dime. All they care about is money, power and control. If you can't see that than I feel sorry for you.

I for one will not shop at Walmart ever again. There is really no need to when there are a million other stores to shop at. Better ones at that. I am convinced it is evil because the idea was based on one of the major problems in this country. All the CEO's that ever worked their term along the years are assholes and don't have any heart or soul. Modern day slavery is what they are all about and I will not support that. You know, the fact that they have the lowest prices can have a psychological effect on people. You need something, you want it and your going to get it. Good example is Black Friday. The Walmart right by me in Farmingdale had a death due to crowds of people rushing in the store to shop. That poor security guard got stomped on over and over. You people are fucking nuts!! I hope that stupid toy for your kid or that TV you just had to have was worth killing someone for. The whole situation makes me sick.

Look at what our government and big business has done to you all. Its like some of you aren't even humans anymore. Is there any compassion left in the world? Are people strong enough to stand up for themselves these days? Why are we letting this happen? I am strong enough to fight. I know there are others who are strong as well. If we have to be the ones to lead everyone else than so be it. If we have to push the weak to do what is right, than thats fine with me. Don't try to stop me and don't get in my way. When I talk you will listen and I will not stop at ignorance and stupidity. The time is now. Its time to revolt and evolve for change.
