From the mind of critic: “Have the election results caused us to enter a brave new world, where everything we thought we knew about ourselves, our community, our country and our system is up in the air? Are all the freedoms, rights and oppurtunities we have come to expect living on the geatest country on the planet, gonna up and dissappear on the whim of a tyrant? Or are we simply in a transitional period in our collective evolution, where we are given a stark contrast of the paths in front of us, and we’re given the choice of which one we wanna travel down? The entire world is taking a few deep breaths, wondering what the next six months will bring. We’ve always flirted with giving somebody power that has never had it before, just not somebody who so blatantly advocated blowing up the system. Many of us are angry with the way things are, and wanna see major change. However, when this change involves blowing up the system, are we ready to rebuild it, were we even thinking about the rebuilding process when we talked about destruction? Clean slate thinking is dangerous, it’s extremely self-centered to the point where we want the world recreated as we think it should be, and any detractors are automatically enemies. There was talk before the new president-elect got his new job. that when he did get the new job, that the revolution would start immediately. Well, where is it? Were we joking? Maybe we’re trying to think up a way where our revolution wont bring on the same destruction that the other side wants. Can we change things for the better, without completely tearing them down first? We can if we look forward, and only look backward for advice and strategy. Only thinking about memories is what got us into this mess, and wanting the past to come back. We must look forward and create the new future that will work for the best of us, not the worst of us” 🙂
