Recently I've noticed that people are attempting to rip down any form of governing body official. It seems as though no matter what is done in the government, and conversely what is not done, does not have the effect on the need to criticize the public assembly leaders. Now I am no way an expert in political philosophy nor am in any way affiliated with any governmental body, I did not vote, and I barely paid attention to the election campaigns.
        I think there may be a shift in what people are thinking leading a growing and unseen response for NDP PM Representative Jack Layton. We are seeing countless struggles all over the world with people in Libya, Egypt etc. that are attempting to change their governing, or controlling body.
I am not one to be caged, in fact I hope for utter freedom, however not negating the moral language of the Canadian people. I see murder, death and destruction as humans attempt to hold land fighting not only mother nature, but ourselves.
         It seems that we are in a state of distrust with our governmental bodies, frustrations for the needs that aren't met, we are disappointed when the wrong choices are made in our name. Where this all leads is purely up to the future generations, to divulge with ill-nature of war and chaos, to rebuild a sense of respect and moral code for our public leaders and officials and return the idea of killing in wars from praiseworthy to sad and unfortunate, perhaps unnecessary.
            If perhaps we could all agree on a moral rule over the world, an idea centered on the Hobbesian idea of self preservation. A blank piece of paper always says more than words written. To remove written all laws once we are sure that all people are over their (Prepare for Nietzsche's bias) guilt and frustration caused by society today, and teach all people of brothern and refuge in what it means to be human. I know that this will never come as religion and greed hold prevalence in public assembly. There is no openness for change and communal safety with bias and self indoctrinated unbudging closed-handedness.

  1. i share your feelings of disillusion with our current political/societal framework.

    however, i found this post kind of in-cohesive. for example the title "respect for our public leaders" doesn't seem to have much to do with the content, which is rather anarchistic.

    in my mind, what your post seems to suggest is that people, particularly of our generation, are pushed and pulled in so many different and conflicting directions that what we are left with is frustration and perhaps even anger with the current state of affairs, yet total apathy to affect change for any one cause.
