Robert Guttman: The Times They Are A Changin'

No they aren't.

Not unless we, the people, of these so-called Democracies make the times change. It is up to us;.not to our respective leaders.

Left to their own devices, they will behave as the elite and strive to keep the status quo.

Let us not forget:, "Power corrupts. Absolute power corrupts absolutely."

The only people who can disrupt this common cycle, are the people of every country who are not brain-damaged by extreme, rigid ideology, be it religious, political, economic...whatever.

Having concrete for brains is not helpful, now.

Neither is being bound up in nationalism. That's just another mental trap, constructed by people who know better.

We have been and are being told a huge lie by our leaders, in general, all around the world.. It is a lie with many heads and faces. All the lies we have been told, are just parts of the one Big Deadly Lie.

Anyone care to guess what that Lie is?

The Blog | Robert Guttman: The Times They Are A Changin': The Ending Of The Bush, Blair, Chirac Era | The Huffington Post:

British Prime Minister Tony Blair has just announced his resignation after ten years in power ('I've been the Prime Minister of this country for just over ten years... I think that's long enough for me, but more especially, for the country.') and French President Jacques Chirac didn't run for re-election in France.
