I remember the time when everyone round the world was super unhappy with the meddling government of the United States.....everywhere you turned, there they were, offering opinions and directions as to what everyone should be doing with their lives....
Irrespective of what region of the world you lived in ....
Irrespective of the specific cultural norms of the people affected...
Irrespective of your daily circumstances......
Irrespective of.......everything.
You just had to to as you were told......sort of.
I mean the respective leaders had to agree to it all right...and drag their citizens into it unwittingly.
We were sort of living in an ultra policed world don't you think?
Kind of like of that Tom Cruise movie Minority Report.
So then what happened?
We had a change in administration.................a change in regime some would claim.
So now.........perhaps because human beings are notorious for being creatures of habit, apparently the United States Government is NOT meddling enough in everyone's business!
Huh?! Isn't that what we all wanted??
Stay out of our lives and we'll make decisions ourselves??
They say, be careful what you wish for....................................you may just get exactly what you thought you wanted.
So here we are again....
The not-meddling-enough American government is under fire for doing exactly what people round the world were crying for a few years back...
Memories run short it seems.....
Strife is running high in many places round the world, and yes SURPRISINGLY guess what, everyone is crying for the American government to SAY something, DO something.............!
If i was the President of the US, trust me, I would be damn pissed off, and NOT do anything.
You sort yourselves out.................after all isn't it what you wanted??
No running to big brother when you want things fixed.
A situation where you are damned-if-you don't, and still further damned-if -you do.
Guess someone has to do the dirty job always.
People LOVE to point fingers at the American government and blast Americans.............yet, where are majority of the people in the world migrating to???
Yeah, you ask yourself that question after you take a walk to your local US embassy to see the long lines.
This is my first ever really politically linked blog.
But I seriously am tired of the trifling behaviour of human beings.
Ungrateful, tunnel visioned, whining creatures who take no responsibility for themselves.
Take a step back and really look at yourself and those around you....................What do you see??

''Ungrateful, tunnel visioned, whining creatures who take no responsibility for themselves'' very well said huwie!! this is such a human trait, from politics to soccer games.
ReplyDeleteremember how guys watch football and complain about how the team would've scored if only they'd done better in defence or more offense or if the coach had put in that player and not this other one.............we always have the answers for everyone else's drama but our own :D
so i've been amused as well with people saying obama should tell the despots in ivory coast and egypt to step down, and a coupla years ago george w was being a bully doing the same with other countries!! it's the football matches all over again, the person watching can play better than the actual players lol
totally agree with you, just let them be then!
xoxo
that's a FANTASTIC analogy Gracie! the football game thing!!! how true! giving directions from your couch or bar stool like you know it all, when you probably have never even kicked a ball in your life!
ReplyDeletei had a conversation with a guy who has all these biggggg political statements that he unleashes like he's some political correspondence with a phD in politics, and he's neither! it really just got me shaking my head.
i feel sorry for him to say the least.
he's the prime example of someone who may get into some little power and be totally delusional and out of sync with the reality on the ground.
it's really got me thinking however....and making me notice how many people are very good at making judgements, comments about so many things, big and small, when they dont even have the experience to back up their ASSumptions...
they just think because they've read a book or two, that now they are the authority on it, and everything else inbetween!
special bloggy award for you my dear :) just say yes!
ReplyDeleteYES!:-) albeight rather late! lol.
