"It's the answer spoken by young and old, rich and poor, Democrat and Republican, black, white, Hispanic, Asian, Native American, gay, straight, disabled and not disabled - Americans who sent a message to the world that we have never been just a collection of individuals or a collection of Red States and Blue States: we are, and always will be, the United States of America. " -Barack Obama
This is from ykm blog. really inspired me to write a blog post. I shall write my subtly. in case i get a lawsuit. lols.
I know that the quote is about America being untied and all, but i came to me, a non-American as democracy and equality.
As said by ykm, the power of democracy to have a race being discriminated for past centuries, being the president of the most powerful nation. Democracy has got real power. I wonder when will we become as democratic as we claimed to be?
I went to type "transparency" in yahoo search engine, i immediately found a source stating the Singapore was perceived to be the top 5 least corrupted country by the "Corruption Perceptions Index 2006" by http://www.transparency.org/policy_research/surveys_indices/cpi/2006. But when i type "media transparency" no information was provided. I can blow my head off now. BOOM!
I believe in equality, everyone should have equal right, whether or not you are born into a family with palace or a ghetto. With or without political might. We all deserve the same power and rights. Why do some people have to work harder while other sit, open their mouth and food goes in? Why? Blame it on fate if you wish. But all this are not decided by us. We cannot choose who we want or dont want to be. So, all the more we should have equal rights for the things not decided my Fate (i prefer calling it that). If we do not even have that, some would be more disadvantage given that they were already being disadvantaged by Fate.
Treat everyone equally. Is not that i dont support meritocracy. It is besides that. Some things cant change even if you were politically or economically powerful (although they are somewhat directly related), ok maybe they do. But those people deserved better. They deserve more than what they've got from people and Fate.
It is simply disgusting to think that we cannot do anything about Fate. We try so hard to change everything, but something is just not within our ability to change. We deserve the rights to freedom and equality, but that just dont come easy. Time is the important key to change. But it is not on our side. Always. So...
Moral of the story: Change We Need. Change the World Needs
