What did we expect when we allowed the establishment to call us
Human Resources?

That's exactly what the rich and the **ies see us as, that is why there is no emphathy or caring for us. That is why when so many of us are killed or maimed it means nothing to them. They managed somehow to get us to accept being resources for their use...

How do we stop this and become the Human part again?

1. We are batteries for their money-making machines
When one goes bad, you just get another battery.

2. Human labor as a commodity ... illegal and immoral
Edited on Sat Dec-31-05 02:08 AM by TahitiNut
When people are "compensated," not for what they lose (time with family, friends, getting healthy or educated) but for LESS than that for which the product of their labors can be sold, we've subordinated human life to materialism and greed. When more than 20% of the labor force is "compensated" for less than a living wage they're sentenced to death - capital punishment for throwaway labor.

5. What you describe is the Living Dead
The Living Dead, put to death with a weapon, that is in need of Spiritual Resurrection.

What you have said is profound, indeed.

3. the need for leadership has made tyranny easy
cuz they can spot the potential leaders and neutralize them in a hundred ways...and don't worry every SINGLE PERSON who rises to leadership position in the world gets the bushviks undivided attention...lookit clinton (and he was sooo easy going, so charming) not to mention america president!

7. It started earlier.
It started when we let them call us "consumer" instead of customer. now I've even heard police ads refer to citizens as "the consumer."

11. The poor have been little more than resources to the rich
since the beginning of human kind. It's not strictly an American 'value'. I'm not sure what, if anything, could change that perception except making those with 'old money' live as a poor person for awhile. But that, of course, would not be legal.

12. "One Fodder Unit" is how they have referred to us.
I find it so ironic that so many people in this
country voted for their own demise given the well
documented fact that the BFEE has been very open/public
as far as their view of we, the people, as disposable.
I would rally the cry of "WAKE UP AMERCIA"
but to what end?
It's too late.
They actually voted for it.
