Limit The Age Of Government?

Generally, I like to think outside the box which is the same box that locks our minds and attitudes and sometimes even indoctrinates us into ideals of our time and right now, I'd like to address the issue of time. More specifically, I'd like to address generations and the politics surrounding generations. Although I have nothing to reference these ideas to and I'm assuming their isn't much to reference anyway as it is theoretical, it could potentially be a more important social issue than you would think.

Currently, serving in certain parts of the Government such as President, Senate, and Congress, you must be of certain age and I can understand the tendency to want to have someone more "senior" representing you and your beliefs in Washington but does that necessarily mean more knowledgeable? I would like to think so and typically is so, it would appear.

When you think about it, we all know corruption in politics runs deep and it would seem it runs deeper and deeper with the older generations still serving in Government. If you've already done your homework, you would already know that politicians like Sen. John McCain, V.P. Dick Cheney, and Sen. Joe Lieberman are older men who are especially corrupt in their own ways but similar in monetary kickbacks but all because they've been in high powered positions long enough to already be heavily involved in the circles of corruption. Simply put, I'd argue that the older you get and the longer you serve in a political position, especially a high power position, the more apt you'd become to corruption whether it would be under the table handouts, propaganda spins, and other activity in none interest to American society in general or that of any other nation.

Imagine for a moment that this sort of age policy were reversed and then I'll explain why. Imagine if their were a LIMIT on age while serving as a political representative. Currently, I believe you must be at least 35 years old to be able to run for President but imagine that 35 years old were the age limit to hold this position. Would it be so bad? Would this person be too ignorant to represent the people and understand real issues? Do you ever get the feeling that these old corrupt politicians argue over needless issues that have nothing to do with the current state of societal problems while ignoring what the younger generation already seems to typically understand as real issues in order to commit to positive progression for society in the future? I do.

When I see bills like SOPA and The Protect IP Act, I see some very ignorant and old politicians who've received a hefty handout from some lobbyist and is pushing for some bill that could be extremely detrimental to a free and open society. Do any of these guys even know what "IP" stands for in technical terms?

I doubt you would see this sort of policy among some critical thinking 20-35 year old representatives because the younger generation does typically understand technology and the younger generation understands the importance of free information as it's been the main source of our self-education. I doubt you would find these same representatives so trigger happy when it came to foreign policy. I doubt you would find nearly the same level of financial corruption as we currently put up with.

Using technology as an example again, you can't argue with the fact that the best of the best public tools and technology in the past 30 years that have been most useful for every day society has come from the young generation who typical had no financial motivation to develop these items and ideas. These ideas and developments usually get capitalized on by the circle of the older generation who doesn't care about anything other than how much money or control it gives them.

While I understand our first hesitations would stem from fear of lacking maturity, I also understand that their is a major disconnect when it comes to the new generation's politics and the older generation's politics. The question will have to ultimately be, who's politics and ideas will be more useful for our future as a nation and the future of humans in general? I'd conclude that the older generation is typically blinded by it's own indoctrination of "isms" and it's love for this game of social segregation and classes in this game of musical chairs we call life that they perpetuate. It's the same reason it took so damn long to find equal living standards for African Americans. If it were up to the the younger generation in that matter, it would have been much easier as we are more united with each other with little corrupt motivation in comparison.

Prison Planet - Police Brutality Epidemic

On the rise and apparently here to stay, police brutality and corruption is showing it's ugliest face yet all across the U.S. as the "us vs. them" mentality is embedded deeper into police officer's minds. As a former resident of the great state of California, I feel like I've been through the ringer when it comes to police encounters. I have no criminal history yet I found myself in Civil Court regularly because once the economy took a turn for the worst, so did the police departments as they became merely a tool for generating revenue for the state while virtually ignoring real crime.

Consider yourself lucky if an officer even shows up after you come home to a ravished home, or have a car stolen, or witness highly illegal activity but if your window is too tinted, prepare to be treated like you just slapped a police officer's Mom. Hell, I remember being pulled over for a week-old expired registration sticker and I was even in a very cooperative mood that evening when the officer, despite my abnormal kindness, felt the need to call for back-up. Within a couple of minutes, not one or even two but THREE more units pull up to "assist" this officer in extorting me and the whole time I'm thinking "they must have finally found my television that was stolen six years ago!" I guess I was wrong again. Shame.

In the past year, I've moved to the Washington D.C. area on the Virginia side near where I grew up as a kid and went to High School. It's been ten years so I was a bit excited to come back and see the ole' District. I wish I never drove into D.C. because the city I use to love coming to as a child where I could go up to the Capital building or walk up to the White House and take pictures and visit the best museums has become a complete police state if I've ever seen one. Everywhere I look, I see police cars speeding by, government helicopters, mobile command centers and even soldiers doing drill in public. What a wake up call.

The Occupy Wall Street protests will continue to be a practice field for the police departments to get some cheap swings in knowing it's about to get worse. Too many of these officers have been aching to swing a baton at some people or tase some "disobedient protesters" and they get trained into this sadistic mentality.

Wikileaks: The Spy Files

With an extensive background in Communications, I've long understood the twisted politics behind communications technology and the information being collected via these technologies. Julian Assange and the Wikileaks team is at it again with the latest of it's publications shining more light on these facts which show the shadow international governance up to no good as usual.

I hesitate to discuss these topics among friends and family because it's too easy for someone who's ignorance to even basic technology, to write me off as paranoid. I can imagine what a fantasy it must sound like to hear this sort of talk if I were outside of understanding but it takes very little discovery to understand at least the motivation behind it.

Is it even possible to stay maintain anonymity anymore? Doesn't seem it like it. Think about your credit cards, your cell phone, your home PC, your laptop and the things you do with it. Think about how much of your information get's collected and stored. Think about how many billions of dollars are earned by these companies.

Testing The Ole' Blog

Just a simple test post to make sure everything is functional and the looks are to my liking. May tinker with the themes or just use a lighter theme all together. We'll see!

In the mean time, check out this crash course on the truth surrounding the SOPA bill being passed around like a joint by old farts who couldn't even pretend to understand the technology issues around what they are doing.
