Occupy Wallstreet

[ZenitYerkes]

I don't care about reforms coming from the right or the left wing anymore, I want reforms to deal with problems and sort them out. I want practical solutions, whatever the color, wherever they come from; for as long as it makes our lives easier and our society fairer.

The common people, us, can't change society right here and right now because we have been left powerless in the only two ways we could make a stand: politics and economics.

On politics, democracy is working in such way that two parties are always even and always opposing, leading to decisions being made by a really small difference of votes, and with a constant opposition by the rest of the "loser" party. Demonstrations, signatures, any way of direct action is meaningless or illegal; it's not the people who decides but their representatives.

On economics we can't act upon our own sense of morals and justice without being dismissed for it and replaced by anyone else with less concerns about anything they're asked to do or how it could affect their society. It seems as though the deal is about us and not the market's demands. Making this situation even worse is unemployment, what restricts our choice even more and leads to us working in jobs we need but are a waste of time and effort, or live without a regular income or any safety for the future.

Who's causing this?

If I'm not agreeing with actually occupying Wall Street it's because it's not a single problem and it's not a single person, or a group of persons.

A great part of the problem is that there is one, but nobody knows how to target the cause. It's like having the symptoms and knowing that the person is ill, but not knowing the disease -and giving the patient the wrong medicine will either make him worse, or kill him.

This is the part we must be the most careful about. We cannot make mistakes on determining what is exactly causing this "global pandemic" if we want to solve it, in spite of how difficult it is; but we can't either just stay arms crossed, ignoring the problem and keep giving the ill painkillers like we've been doing to the present moment.

We will be only making the agony longer.

We know things are bad. But when are we going to make happen and put in common our goals and solutions to deal with it?

Again. I don't care what is your side, what you believe in or which is your income. If you have a solution that is practical, if you know how to deal with the problem; that's a solution I want to count on.
