The Global Revolution

There needs to be a global stand on oppression and all its forms. You see, people take oppression not just in China or Russia or the Middle East, but in the United States. The poor do not demand their legal right to work or get enough money from welfare systems. Even in the Middle East, there needs to be a revolution. We have to stand up and say no more plastic pollution in our oceans, we demand a solution that the governments have to work on. We demand fleets of ships in the ocean cleaning up the pollutants. Plastic doesn’t biodegrade easily unless it is biodegradable. We have to stand up to Big Oil and Big Pharma.

This revolution is quite possible. It can start with petition drives that spread. Or maybe we need to recall certain lenient judges who do not give harsh sentences to wrong-doers like Brock Turner. China is so controlled, that nobody knows freedom even with their interpersonal rating system. Russia doesn’t actually have real elections. The Middle East has problems. Everybody has to get together and stand up for their rights in a non-violent manner. A difference can yet be made. Many people could let up the strict women’s rights rules in Saudi Arabia.

Countries simply have different cultural customs that are not like ours. Hijab-wearing is more cultural than religious. You can hide indefinite bad hair days inside that scarf. Not everybody lives in as much freedom as the United State. They monitor us by credit card, cash, by phone, computer, and satellite daily. The terrorist problem in the Middle East is serious. We have to make sure that it doesn’t get out of hand. The war has been raging in Iraq and Afghanistan. The whole thing is pretty bad.

Many people are too caught up in their daily work existence to think about the larger issues. All they deal with is their family and their job. Some unemployed types are activists full time though. Nobody will change the world being angry at it, however, don’t assume that your activist rage can influence somebody. Sometimes you do not want your activism to affect your job. Many times, you manage to slip into routine and you forget about what you consider to be your sacred duty, which is to change the world. Have some of you ever considered running for office?

Running for office is a way to change things, to write and pass new laws into existence. I plan on running for my District 10 in City Council sometime in the near future. While I live in San Jose, I’m going to work on running for office. I want to get my start. I don’t plan on living in Sacramento until I do more high profile things, but I want to go to school in Los Angeles. I want to study law, get an MBA, and get a Master’s in Archaeology. UCLA is probably the right school for this. But I’m terrified of Los Angeles and the energy. I’d like to be a pro bono lawyer and only being a D.A. will make me money. I want to help people who need legal advice like mentally ill people who want to get medication but don’t know how since they can’t pay for insurance and need to sign up for free medical care. Yes, I’m terrified of Los Angeles but someday I will do better with my fear of crowds.
