Enough

Who would have ever envisioned a day when a gallon of milk would cost more than a gallon of gas? We are always told there would be flying cars and poverty would be eliminated on the planet by now. But the news is full of stories of rising prices, food shortages, and downsizing worldwide. Governments everywhere play games with the odds because they have lost touch with the common man. We are constantly reminded that our safety is never assured because some nut job might blow himself up at anytime in a crowded area. Simply put, I'm sure we've all had enough. We want our voices to be heard.

One day what if there was a worldwide protest? One 24 hour period where every person around the world went to their presidential palace, local parliament or congress, governor's mansion, city council, village elders meeting place in silent protest. Just gather outside. No speeches of boring empty rhetoric. No chants or hostilities. The only expression would be a sign-ENOUGH.

We have had enough of terrorist taking away our peace of mind and the security of our children. We have had enough of politicians turning a blind eye to our needs and concerns so they can advance their own agendas. We've had enough of big corporations poisoning our air and water or monopolizing markets to shake us for every penny of our hard earned incomes.

So we are here in silent protest. We are taking back our power as citizens of the world to let you know you are on notice. So what's everybody doing December 31, 2008 around midnight?
