Time to Take Action

It is time to take action, this is not the time to ignore the reality of the world. Things are changing and change is inevitable. It's as if the world is in dissary, or maybe it always has been and always will be in a confused and messy state. A few things I remembered from college...but one thought that sticks really hard in my mind was one sentence that a Geography Professor taught us, upheaval comes down to three things: Resources, Politics, and Religion.

Simply stated.

Below are some words that have got me thinking recently !

"How do you conquer a nation?

Distract them with football games, political circuses and Black Friday sales. Keep them focused on their differences—economic, religious, environmental, political, racial—so they can never agree on anything. And then, when they’re so divided that they are incapable of joining forces against a common threat, start picking them off one by one. " (from Films For Action http://www.filmsforaction.org/ )

"Here's a question that the press has never had to deal with before: how do you deal with a president-elect, and eventually a president, who regularly Tweets untrue or intimidating statements?

By the nature of the office, when a president says something it's usually news. Words can move markets, start wars, shift the direction of major domestic and foreign policy. And that's why most presidents are constrained and careful with their public statements. 
Not so Donald Trump. It's one of the things his supporters love about him and his critics despise. And anyone who thought Trump was going to change after the election, well, as the saying goes, the past seems to be prologue." (by Dan Rather)
