It's high time for America and maybe the world population, to get serious about some essential changes in our lives. texts, laws even constitutions, cannot stay the same centuries after centuries, turning them into untouchable sacred words and policies, governing our lives exactly the same way it was 300 years ago, or 2000 or 3000 years ago. Not even religions and their sacred books are managing to keep literal and unchanged without new adaptations and new rereading and rephrasing of its texts to suit our modern times and tempo.
It took humanity thousands of years to reach some forms of Democracy, and get rid in many places of authoritarianism and absolute monarchies. But most of us still refuse to use these privileges smartly and effectively, many insist on voting just to elect obvious dictators, greedy and selfish profiteers, adventurists who will stop at nothing to reach their goals.
It is time to vote with open eyes to the future and not as always with nostalgic past times and memories of pseudo better days. It is time to vote climate, it is time to vote equitable equality and a reasonable wealth distribution, it is time to vote clean renewable energy, it is time to vote for common national social rights as in health, education, a descent roof on top of every American family, it is time to vote for rebuilding America's infrastructure, it's time to reconsider our tax shares and our benefits from it and maybe have a say in how it's being spent.
It is time to vote for total care and some well being of our elderly and senior citizens, it is time to vote to diminish our armed forces, reduce excessive armaments, stop our adventures across the entire globe and our permanent endless wars against anyone and everyone. Trust me my friends, no one is contemplating or looking to invade our country or enslave our people and change our lifestyle. It is time to vote civility, less superiority and racism, less hegemony, less brutality, less apartheid and surely less greed and selfishness.
Americans have to start thinking and considering all of us, all our friends and allies, all of the Western world, the entire globe. We're turning into a small village after all. America and the world are paying a very heavy toll from fossil-fueled and nuclear disasters, from across borders pandemics, from stupid wars and adventures and sanctions in all their forms, from inadmissible disparities in national wealth distributions.
Unfortunately it's not only America, many of the world countries live in similar conditions, live with tragedies and grievances, while they busy themselves stealing, delegitimizing, flattening out and nullifying elections, we cannot afford such infantile pastimes and games, nature and life are fed-up with our foolishness and carelessness, with our greed and brutality toward each other, and every other living species. Let's vote people who can provide creative, inclusive and collaborative leadership, people who can truly lead us into the future and not make us live and relive the past, or their own present at best.
In fact, our entire planet's health is in grave danger and jeopardy, the election or reelection of reckless leaders, fascist nationalists, neocons, will surely result in irreversible changes to the well being of humanity, and to the climate that will affect and hurt every single person on earth.
It's time, high time to take our elections more seriously and try to advance our and our children's and grandchildren's welfare and decent existence, a leader who will do anything to be elected or reelected shouldn't be in consideration. What the world and America need today is to avoid invoking its past glories and historical greatness, stop overstating our military prowess and geography and just embrace a fair dose of result-oriented realism.
My usual many thanks to all, be well and stay safe.
