Hey...Wake UP!!!

I have seen the ads lately showing JFKs New Frontier speech from the early 60's. I wanted to post this on that website, but it is Twitter driven so I passed. The request on the website was to post your vision for the New New Frontier.

Yes...There is a new new frontier I see, "Problem - Reaction - Solution" (Hegelian Dialectic). It is complete manipulation, how do you like it?
Real strength in a society comes with a focus on commonality and unity, not diversity. Unbounded permissiveness in a society leads to unbounded diversity.
Utopia has not, is not and never will be anything having to do with the truth of the human civilization. The people who want more will always find a way to get it.
The more scientific knowledge that humans acquire the more ways they find to get what they want. Too much stress kills, simplicity minimizes stress.
Remember that True Love is a decision arrived at through knowledge not an emotion, some of its attributes being... Sharing, Teaching, Learning, Respecting, Responsible, Truthful, Kind, forgiving and Persevering.
The most important person to Love first is yourself, not by changing the definition of Love, but by changing yourself. Never forget that individual responsibility keeps all the links in the chain of a society strong.
I could ramble on, but I believe I make my point.


Losing It

I respond to losing it with a ratcheting rise of rage
As I ponder the precarious path if I turn the page.
I do savor the sensibility of the silent sage
And yet I gather the grip on a glorious gauge.

A quest lies waiting for us in the setting sun,
Shall we stand firm or will we turn and run?
If your lantern is not at the ready to light the way
The evil enemy eviscerates everything and makes you pay.

The seeds of nature lie in wait with a need
They require disciplined duty to nourish the deed.
Shall we succeed or will we fail at this mission?
Pray that we suffer not a great mortal attrition.

There is no security in clinging to the Status Quo.
We must desperately work against the raging flow,
For if we do not with fervor fight for choosing it
I can without doubt confirm that we will all be losing it.

I'm talking about FREEDOM here!
