Remember me as a Time of Day

Again, possibly not as insightful as these posts are meant to be, but the way I see it, this is just me writing what's on my mind. So whether you believe my thoughts are insightful or not, they're still there. And now they're here:

The way I see it, everybody wants to be remembered for something. Playing on the possibility that I'm wrong about this, whether they want to be or not, everybody WILL be remembered for something. Good or bad, that memory is there. So I'm just going to play on that theory for a while in regards to the current Bush administration. (Yes this will be a long post.)
Didn't see that coming eh?

We live in the world that we have created. There is no avoiding our mistakes and there is no hope to change the past. I’d argue without hesitation that we have destroyed the world that was pure at the dawn of our existence. I’d also gladly argue that, even know we are the only creature who does not live upon instinct and who has the power of free will, we have not learned from the mistakes caused by that free will. We believe that we are above any higher power that may or may not exist and yet we tend to be cockroaches. We live as if there is no tomorrow and then resort to endless scapegoating once this lifestyle leaves the next generation with the consequences. Should we not begin to depend on a higher source of power to correct what man has caused, but what man can not defend nor reverse? This would seem to be common sense to most individuals, but when individuals regroup, we tend to forget any reason or common sense. To be human is to be flawed, there is no avoiding our mistakes, it is however what we learn from these mistakes that decides whether we are truly evolved, or whether we are simply Neanderthals living in a world of technology. I think it’s about time that we stop defending our faults, and instead embrace them as lessons.

George W. Bush would not agree with a damn word I say. The man has invaded a country run by dictatorship without reason and without apology. He says he intends to impose democracy upon a beaten people. In reality he intends to force an unknown government upon people who, for the most part, live peaceful lives without need for change (although I do believe Saddam Hussein had to go). Of course, once this “democracy” is forced upon the Iraqi people, Bush will gladly rape them of their natural resources and of their sovereignty. He has stated that he intends to successfully place democracy on the shoulders of the Iraqi people and watch them gain their freedom. I’d say freedom isn’t worth anything except pain. I am not arguing against freedom by any means, I am in fact encouraging it, but put into proper context, freedom is not free and there lies the irony in the world that we have created. Please, call me a cynic and I will gladly agree. Cynicism belongs to those who do not conform to the ideas of age, I’d say it belongs to the young hearted with the power to change things, not necessarily the pessimists. Freedom is not something that can be forced upon a nation. Wouldn’t that defeat the entire purpose of freedom? It is, instead, something that a nation has to want and has to strive for, possibly with many failures along the way. Freedom is something each individual country has to shape, has to define upon their own terms. Still, the Bush Administration seems to believe that they have cured world stupidity. I’d say that the Bush Administration is the single largest failure and flaw of American history.

The United States of America must be respected. I’d even go as far as to applaud them. They have more than successfully freed themselves from the crown (something that I still feel Canada needs to do in order to fully be a sovereign nation) and were the first to establish a fiscally democratic system. My hat tips to the forefathers of American history. My fist rises just as easily against the current establishment. I am not a man of anarchy by any means. Anarchy is a demand for chaos. It is a simple fact, proven throughout history, that when men are not rallied to oppose or to rise with one single purpose, men in general fail. They attempt to pursue their own interests and there lies chaos.
Every previous American president is remembered for their victories, not their failures. As presidents are no more than men with the expected capacity to point a country in the right direction, they too are going to fail now and then. The difference with George W. Bush and the previous American presidents is that he will only be remembered for his failures. This is due to the sad fact the they overshadow his victories.
The current Bush Administration, I'd argue, is a failure in an oh-so bright technological world.

Maybe I'm just ranting because I'm still too young to know what I want to be remembered for...
