"unacceptable"

I might be mistaken but I believe my own governmnet, the current shameful Canadian one, is also against a cease-fire. No surprise really considering Harper's such a twat. Ditto with Austrailia's american puppet...

At what point can we say "the world, its current events, the total damnation, is getting out of hand" and really mean it, I mean, really have it be known that we mean it?

The terrible acts of governments and their obvious disregard to public opinion seems to be becoming more of the norm. Perhaps I'm very naive and I'm just noticing these things a little bit more as I mature and becoming more interested in ethical ideals, perhaps it's always been this way; perhaps the fog has never lifted.

What more can a person say beyond, "unacceptable"? Obviously more is needed, perhaps violence is the answer, as uncomfortable as I am to admit it, I'm really starting to lean that way. Though, I might be too scared to get involved with brutality. I'm pretty afraid of confronting my own cowardice, the cowardice that becomes so apparent when I see what little contribution I can make when not directly involved--a word like "unacceptable" is pointless when those who are causing all the damage conceitedly decide to disregard your dissatisfaction. The same goes with petitions and demonstrations. The only thing demonstrations do is tell all of us on our side of the issue that we're not alone in our outrage, beyond that, that pat on the back of all participants, the benefit seems pretty elusive. Of course there is power in numbers, but the fact is, the numbers needed to change the rules are impossible to achieve. The most effective way any single person can affect the problems is to strike out at those that cause them, namely their enemies.
