Did the Hippies have it wrong?

In the 1960's we had a movement against the mainstream and government. Allot of weed smoked and a lot of free love. They were fighting the establishment or as the layman would say the fascism of hypocrisy that today we see. If someone uses the word fascism today you are guaranteed to be put in the inside the box of a conspiracy theorist. If someone said do you know the H1N1 anti-virus that you put in your body is bad for you and can cause things like infertility or can cause convulsions then you must be someone that puts a tinfoil hat on to go to the grocery story. In the early part of the last century a book was written called"1984" by George Orwell and stated a word that you will hear called " New World Order". It was a book of fiction or was it as I always play the devils advocate and say well what if it was right? Our history as a planet has been one of war, dictatorships and if we go through the labeling list as you would see on the back of a Campbell's can of soup multiple others. So what do we label today's government especially here in Canada? Do we call it a democracy when they use media to control the way we think. How can we be made to think a certain way? Is it possible that someone actually studied psychology and sociology to the point where they could figure out a way to control us and turn us into brainless sheep? What happens to those who speak up do they do the same thing Hitler did to the Jewish and his own people in the 1930's and 1940's? Has a Canadian ever said the medium is the message? Allot of questions but where lies the answers.

I have been in politics for 10 years not by choice but when the people that we elect to represent our best interest sends me a form letter telling me my children were not worth their time or social workers saying don't sopenea us into a court room to fight against child abuse you really start to wonder where the government and bureaucrats priorities lies. So how do you stop it? I tried and put my name up to run in the last election after being a part of both mainstream parties and realizing there is nothing different besides the leader and the color they fly for their banners. The thing is they have had old money and inbred to believe they are the only source of real leadership. In New Brunswick the Liberals going into their campaign had around a million dollars and the Progressive Conservatives had half a million dollars. The legal limit to each riding is $28,000 so how do they take that money and use it effectively? $500,000 would only give 17 of the 55 the full amount a million only 35 of the 55 riding's. So how do you get the masses attention?Run a slam campaign against your competitor or as most have come to know it American Politics. Promise the sheep the moon and stars and hope they buy it. Interesting or Prove me Wrong?

I make a lot of reference to did you take the red or blue pill. Most political people would go oh that's a slam against the political parties. Red representing the Liberals, Blue representing the Tories. In fact it is not, a movie called " The Matrix" makes a direct reference to this exact phrase " Are you willing to take the red pill and see the world for what it really is or return to the world and take the blue pill and not see what is really going on?" So did the hippies have it wrong? They stood up for social justice and making sure all the wealth is spread around but are best remembered in the media and Hollywood as pot heads and sex manics looking for the next lay. Seems strange that our children's issues and issues of even only going back 40 years are the same but as they say history repeats itself. So if we still have issues of bullying in our schools, poverty,  homelessness and excessive unemployment and directly in Saint John for the Province of New Brunswick how can that be as we are supposed to be a democracy and far from fascist? Do you think it could be because we didn't listen to our elders that may of been hippies that told us then to take the red pill and awake to the real reality of what is really happening or did we take the blue pill and do what the ones that pull the real puppet strings find out our minds can be manipulated through the medium of television and Hollywood?

My thoughts are they did and we took the blue pill. We look at greed and how the next actress scandal will unfold and put the Hollywood political parties on the same pedestal as Hollywood actors. Can we all be that naive or did some wake up and say this is bad and we have to do something about it. I took that proverbial red pill and found some good people that wanted to do something that had opportunity to get us out of debt and spread the wealth amung the poor but the Blue pill was taken by the mass. Education is the only was to empower those who do not see the truth but some days it is better to live in a fantasy word that there are no bad people or bogeymen out there. Hitler and Stalin counted on it and Freud's son even wrote on how to manipulate the masses. So when do the masses take the red pill and wake up to reality, work our bodies till beyond retirement and make sure the rich get richer and the poor get poorer? So did the hippies have it wrong I think not but I only have studied business, psychology, sociology and Political Science in a University. I guess I should of done the last year and a half to put the letters by name or not hung in the flower patch but as I say Prove me Wrong.
