The 11th Hour
Most
times fact is stranger than fiction. In a time
when most of us are all sleeping at the wheel
of life and not being responsible, in a time
when evil conglomerates and corporations continue
their quest for worldwide conquest and corporate
imperialism runs amok. In this day and age
where global warming continues to be dismissed
by the greedy fucks making crazy loot by poisoning
our atmosphere and raping mother earth. In
this time, there needs to be a call to arms,
a call to arms in the metaphorical sense of
said expression. A call for us all to wake
up and arm ourselves with the knowledge of
what is going on around us. It is a time to
take back the power from the corrupt politicians,
(Oxymoron? hehe), world leaders and corporations
and hold them accountable. Yeah, this is the
time for all to get up of our asses and start
breaking the cycle. The first step is awareness
and in seeking said awareness, I urge all,
to at least start by supporting this brilliant
little gem of a documentary titled The 11th
Hour and in doing so you will be arming yourself
with knowledge.
