For the People

By Mr King

I love all of humanity...

I see the unity of all things...

And perhaps I don't hate George W. Bush anymore...


But still...

I must stand up!


And fight intelligently...


For those who suffer...

For those who have not...

For those locked in chains of poverty...

For those without hope...

For those without a voice...

For the children...


For the people!

    Its always a pleasure to peruse your works, filled with the thoughts of a wonderful disposition that should be far more widespread than it is...

    *smiles* If you see the unity in all things, then why is bush selected alone by you? If you fight for the people, is not bush a person? Fighting for the people insinuates that you are fighting for a cause, for the people...

    This implies that you are deciding what is best for the people...far be it from me to judge you, but questions must be asked. How do you come to decide what the people want? bush was democratically elected by the majority of people...

    Thus this comes to be, who are you fighting for? What is this "people"? Is it synonymous with humanity and if so all of humanity needs for different things, some need nothing at all...

    Also on this, I expect to see the idea of re-education, in order to make the world a better place, but education no matter how unbiased can only ever create bias...it is still making decisions for the people...
