La Causa and Feminism




Dolores Huerta on feminism, specifically, women in the 21st century. This lecture opened up many doors for greatly made points and thoughts to be considered, I consider myself lucky and enlightened to be in the presence of such a bold woman. Progression comes, but doesn't always stick around for too long. Change?




I am a woman, and we are the majority now.

Pay attention!

Tonight,( 3 Mar 09) many ideas, comments and questions were presented at the symposium, Obamanomics: Socialism vs. Free Market Capitalism. However, I felt, and several others voiced, that the forum was attempting to direct the conversations towards the failure of the big banks and corporations, who to blame for these failures, and why they happened. The demise of these megalo-..institutions is indeed, something that should not be ignored or something that will just disappear or self resolve overnight, in weeks, or perhaps, even years. However what should be done apparates in the form of idealism for almost every individual or affiliation who has an opinion on the matter, simply because there is no concise right or wrong answer. There will be no winners in the game of free market capitalism or socialism, when there is no team with clear, logical objective. Therefore, a balance of the two concepts must be kept in an open mind. The question is now, which was brought up, should government step in and begin to regulate the private sectors, such as President Obama is implying with his 3 trillion dollar stimulus deal or should the people not have to pay for the mistakes and failure of these massive spending institutions? Government regulation- one entity controlling the business' and banks decisions leaves no room for the individual, private controlled entities to make rash decisions and overspend the means allocated them (similar to the american middle class and the trend of 2ND and 3rd mortgages) or for that matter attain the "american dream" of wealth and luxury. In turn, should we leave these spenders dry? Attack with the "not my fault" attitude? Will that approach decimate the debt or reform the monetary system? Astonishingly enough, health care was brought up surprisingly late in the evening, with many universal health care supporters contributing thoughts. One man, introducing himself and stating that he came from Mexico attested that the universal health care concept would be simply providing basic human rights. One man claimed he works for his health care and doesn't want to be supporting health care for those who do not contribute, this set off some flares. These are all decisions which people want to be made. Should we be concerned with rebuilding such a capital wealth hungry system? Should health care be provided exclusively to those who can afford a $500 deductible? These are decisions that will definitely affect our future with enormous capacity. A point brought up by a university student (one of a few, actually), as the threat of a depression becomes more realistic each day, "would it really, be such a bad thing?" Humans have been through many tribulations, and "humans are resilient." We naturally demonstrate vigilance in the inevitable hard times. "Maybe, by experiencing such an event, people will come out better" and more closer to their absolute potential. There were conservative, pro capitalist arguments and a surprising amount of pro socialism arguments. Sadly, the argument I did not hear, save the 'resilient human', or even speak on behalf of, was the pro humanist proposal.Really, what are we all fighting for the rescue of?

spare bullet (rough)

I am deeply troubled by many things that I am witnessing in the world I meander in. I see my peers, my fellow youth who will be responsible for the years to come sittng back and doing nothing to change the atrocities and shameful behaviors being allowed by the governments, respected public figures, corporate upper class and the descrepant monster identified by name and proven exsistant by action- mass consumer capitlaism. The poisonous media is reignigng in its own monster, creating issues that are by far biased and negatively suggestive to the empty minded people with no concern and supportive of the radicals who are full of fundamental extremist beliefs that decemate the meaning of the human spirit, while coherting with the diabolical ideals damocracy has come to rely on . rallying in robots, who filll in for paper advertisements for the upper class causes, disasterously and unknowingly adding to the fires of free enterprise. individuals are being turned against one another, therefore crushing the individual spirit by eroding sturdy ground creating sinking holes for the human spirit to conform in, making masses of citizens who think they have a cause yet in all reality have an obosolete knowledge of cause and no sense of the action that is to believe . To believe is not exclusively to think about the potential or the idea that would be satisfying to attain, to believe is too express passion, to demonstrate action, to influence, to create, and to thrive. There can be no change without belief. Humainty cannot support one another and thrive in its true essence without the recollection and contribution of passsion with the equal dispersion, save the prejudice selections. Abolish selection, class, status, perhaps then we can finally know what t is to artfully live, rather than merely payig to survive.

You and Whose Army?

I had a vision of myself. I was alone. I was driving and it was dark. The road, familiar and desolate. I was sad, i think taking a break from painful tears. Painful but strong, validated tears. Strong in the sense that i was on my way to moving on. Validated because i was justified in my decision. Tears for leaving the one i loved behind. It was a forecast of what i think could come. And motivation at the same time, to fight. Not to give up. Set aside my bouts of pride and follow my heart. I felt it. I felt the way my heart would feel in that moment. It felt good. The situation was sad, yet, hardly tragic. I felt alive with myself. Magic for being brave. As human and noble as it is to test love out, it works very similar, if not exactly the same, to test yourself. The answers to the latter, cannot be blamed or credited to anyone else. Self is the distinguisher. Which makes self the model for future situations, revelations and inspiration. This revelation is not stunning, just simply another obstacle in attaining what i deserve.

Spectator Sport

The trend is casual "love". Popular theories, personal beliefs and possibly good ol' excuses are slowly confirming the fact that love is dead. Some argue that the film industery has lost it's luster, music is now without the soul it was founded on. Hipsters have drove themselves crazy trying to fit three or four eras into one ensemble. And the casuality of sex and affection reserved for self expression is apparantly.. losing. Remaining chaste till marriage is no longer the taboo topic it once was. You meet someone, attraction ensues, go with the feeling. I am not exclusive in this behavior. But what about the kind little things once used to show someone that you feel? We thrive off of attention of others. Humans need it. How can the difference now be distingushed when "love" is being shared? I have love for all things living, human or not but i refrain from kissing a cow when my lips feel like dancing. Why should a casual friend be any different? There are ways to express love to others, if that really is the case trying to be made. People evolved and are continuing to evolve, however communication is easily fucked with and end results can be disasterous. I almost do believe a similar statement; words are dead. because we feel.. are emotions on the way to doom? Is this the regression that will contribute to the devestation of humanity? This may be argued and even offensive, but it's nothing personal. Allow me a kiss and all will be forgotten :*

The Form of The Flawed

Women like to believe they are so beautiful. This is actually true to very few, but a basic belief of all straight men. So what i’m picking apart the best corners of my brain for, are answers. Answers to why women feel the tyrant- reserved action of oppression against themselves when it comes to men. There is a chance that i may be cynical and biased when it comes to making my opinion known on this matter, but that chance is just as great as the fact because it holds true. A bat of the lashes, unknowingly of course. A little bounce in the walk. Extra time and effort into appearance. What is the outcome of these and countless other rituals, when they go unnoticed? We sulk, we bitch, we say fuck really loud, we may even cry .. of course only out of spite. Ha ha. All bullshit aside, what happens next? Men go on. Flirt on. Play around with their next idea of a good time. Laugh, plan. Whatever. It’s so bullshit. Why must we feel trapped within the part of our minds that is supposed to make us standout as the compassionate, loving beings we are entitled to be? See what i mean by oppression? Wasted energy on the other half of the human being. How fuckin foul. Evidently men cannot be lived without or lived with. Shall we begin to beg to differ?

Big Brother

You are being watched. Do you know this? Are you aware that every move you make, every card you swipe, is premeditated and conceived? Are you a firm believer in your individuality? With..

your mac
your tv
your subscription to rolling stone
your status as a

LIBERAL
CONSERVATIVE
INDEPENDENT
ARTIST
THINKER
ACTIVIST
MOTHER
SON
FRIEND
Do you believe in free will? free will as a concept that only one with an open mind and an eagerness to learn and spread, is capable of owning, conditioning AND CONTAINING. Like i have asked before, who are you? who the fuck are you? do you wish to be someone? are you content? satisfied? eager to improve such as most hollow minds are? what about being great with what you have? and great with who you are. i bet my beliefs do not match yours, and if so, alright. but i don't regret what i believe, because all i know right now is that those beliefs are mine, i have conditioned them as mine. how many more will die for a cause that YOU probably cannot even correspond. how many more will suffer because their voices are not ALLOWED to be heard for the lack of a fuckin certificate stating a "valid" place of origin, of birth. Who is to blame really? What is the color of our spilling fluid? Is it not red? Do "they" not bleed red? Are we not all the same? Human? Whether you were created by one of the most prominent historical figures or evolved from a species of a similar, haha looks. We are all the fuckin same. Get over yourself and believe.

Sophisticate

A colorfully charged landscape domineered by plagerized apathy, misguided actions and words. Direct threats yet indirect people. Plans of progression through inanimate mediums, disregarding the universal medium and mediator. I see no change and rare relation with brutal consequences. I can't change anything, at the most extreme, myself. This cannot be tagged as immaturity, for nature will prove that wrong. It's the beauty of inexperience. Seeking answers only to be stacked with more questions. I drive, without the mechanism, and light is coming from all angles. Neons, the production of machines and element made vulnerable by man, translucent shine designed for direction, and life in the sky, a result of the unknown who teases with awe. Will i stray farther from who i am.. Being led by others' irrationality.. Or am i getting closer to who i will always be.. I will reckon with objects no longer.
