Re: In Juarez City, farmers will form a human wall in highway crossings along the border

Well the more I learn about US history, their wars, their internal structure, their NAFTA agreement the more indignated and angry I get, (how empty and shallow they are) and! I'm not the only one. I just wonder how long are we gonna take it, all this lack of humanity and greed from some people is causing destruction and misery to the world and humanity, I was thinking the other day; what are we upagainst?
"Capitalist Imperialism and facist governments" that's it! How we take them down? When we are part of the problem, we depend on it, we work for it, we pay for it, we make it happen! we created it! Every time we fall in their consumism traps, (unnecesary commodities) as I call them: Get the latest phone, tv, car, cloths everything is stupidly fashionable they mess with our dumb minds, Pay our contribution to imperialism with taxes etc.. Get rich forget the poor who cares about the poor? I went to school to be more! right? well education doesn't make us more, it make us better at some specialty but not more. It's nothing but a personal desition to go or not to go to school, students are being trained to serve imperialism nothing more! we all deserve the same whether farmer or ceo. "The era of the we all are killing our selves and the enviroment" many of us not even realising it,and the ones that do are to inmersed in their traps to do anything (so they wanna think), well.. something is got to give; this wars, this abusive behavior, this greed, this commodities, this lust, this careless actitud towards humans and enviroment that many of us are taking is gonna cost us all one way or another, we are gonna have to do something about it. so I wanna ask all which side you're in, what are we doing to help, feeling guilty is not enough, in my research I found that: the family is the nucleos of all society that's where it all starts we transform the family, educate, inform, unite (oviously some families around the world are messed up "the leading ones")
Then we move to community what's going on there? is the community responding to unjustices or are we just taking it all come on! we have the Zapatistas example in their struggle, all we have todo is follow their model I'm not saying become a Zapatista I'm saying wherever we are, we have to become self sufficient, separate from the system, how you beat an enemy? you ignore it or you engage in a losing battle I prefer to ignore and go for the long term fight watch! we can't beat our oppressor over night, we have to prepare our selves and the world, how do we beat the system systematicly, how we cripple it well sustainability is one way, civil dessobedience is another, watching what our City Council is doing is another, not paying taxes is another, not consuming is another because they depend greatly of us consuming what they produce (we change our consuming ways consume from local growers etc..) I think the last two are the most important, because like I said earlier we can create the problem we can fix the problem. But, start with the Family.
My closest family is in Mexico City and from what I heard they're not doing very well one of my sisters and my mom run a mini restaurant right from our house, the sales have dropped, they don't have as much merchandise as two years ago inflation it's going up what's going on? well.. K Mart, Sams, Mac Donnals and others have arrived in mexico displacing local business, you get the picture?
Here in the US 2007 was the worst year for me that fricking war and this stupid racism I don't have money to pay my rent this New year month, what a way to start no? Rent is so expensive everything is, wages are going down (funny! cost of living up, wages down) inflation, inflation.. clearly our representatives are not doing what their suppossed to, their too busy making money for them selves at community's expense and competing with other cities for control of the county, and eventually the State, and then the freaking Country and so on! that's the mentallity of this some people running our lives, it's so messed up isn't it.

Well..
Don't take it personal
Enjoy Life
Demand Respect and
Never Stop Loving
