You know your history, which is admirable. I hardly paid any attention in school during history lessons, but eventually I grew my own interest in it and wanted to understand how things went down in a more clear way. Bits and pieces out of books, the internet, the elderly folk. What is easily noticeable, is that history is very repetitive and sometimes predictable.

What happened in the USA after the war is understandable. Similarly (not literally, but close enough), Bulgaria was a socialist country and adopted democracy some 20 years ago. I was born just then, in the year it got accepted. Before it people had everything they needed, but not as much freedom. Democracy is what ruined things, as privateers just overtook everything. People with power basically robbed the country shamelessly, and continue to do so today. Urbanization hit us hard, it hits everyone hard. Countryside lifestyle comes boring to many, as I personally wouldn't spend the highlight of my days growing crops. But then again - when I go visit my grandfolks and get to taste the food they grow themselves, I see where I was wrong in the past, disregarding suburban life. A country that has forsaken its own agricultural activities is a country without hope.

I am both very excited, and in fear of the era that we are living in. Perhaps it is so because of this feeling - that things are really about to fall apart, and because this might actually bring a time of prosperity for the human mind. I only wish that this time history does not repeat itself and this happens peacefully. Nuking is just not that good, is it?

Protesting has always seemed like something out of a fairytale to me, but it can actually work. Not because people will get heard so much, but because of our newborn ability to create instant flash mobs, in any given moment of time. The thing is, a bunch of people could always gather somewhere and jump around for a few hours, but now they can go home and immediately communicate with each other. They will know what effect has their protest had, if any at all. If there wasn't an effect, they will just get angrier. While in the past, they'd turn on the TV and forget about it. Now the flame can be kept burning for a very long time. Corps care about money, but this is the way that we can actually conspire against them on the go and mess around with their income with sheer force of will and the feeling that we are not alone (facebook).

For example - our national TV (bTV) had some journalist-orientated (bull****, of course) shows that reflected on the forest protests here in a very crude and negative way. In two days their website received 1,300,000 negative votes on the show that was aired. That's above a million in two days!!! bTV had to make an official apology to everyone. But now I have a bunch of friends that are convinced to never watch this television again. And they have a bunch of friends in the same position. The effect will not be seen immediately, but it's in the works. This, of course, is just as dangerous as it is beneficial. But this applies for almost anything of powerful nature (nukes, anyone?).

There IS enough money and resources to refurbish our whole planet, making it a truly wonderful place to live in for EVERYONE. Will it happen soon - I don't know, but it has to happen eventually. It's good that people have been turning to the green side rapidly for a few years now. Most young people that I know agree with me, or are very ignorant and don't go as far as to think about such matters. We are now more oriented towards free media content, freeware software, open hardware. The only thing that makes me sick is the battle for intellectual rights, and intellectual content (as if such thing existed) but this is another flame started by corrupt media labels. The hollywood effect. But **** them, we will beat them. I know it, I know it because even the artists are jumping in support of the opposition to this kind of treaties. If the generations which are living and growing right now somehow overcome mass corruption - we will win.
