Take away the control from the wicked!

Below is my plagiarized version of the character Howard Beale's, 'Mad as Hell' speech, from the 1976 movie "Network".
For I think it applies today 2008:

I don't have to tell you things are bad.

Everybody knows things are bad.

It's sort of a World Wide depression.

There are many people who are out of work, or scared of losing their jobs. The dollar buys a nickel's worth; stock markets & banks are going bust, due to manipulation; shopkeepers keep a gun under the counter; punks are running wild in the street, and there's nobody anywhere who seems to know what to do, and there's no end to it.

We know the air is unfit to breathe and our food is unfit to eat.

What do we do?

We sit watching our Plasma TV’s while some TV Newscaster, tells us that today we had another homicide and many other violent crimes, as if that's the way it's supposed to be!

We all know things are bad, even worse than bad, as they are crazy!

It's like everything everywhere is going crazy, so we don't go out any more. We sit in the house, and slowly the world we're living in is getting smaller, and all we say is:

"Please, at least leave us alone in our living rooms. Let me have my microwave and my Plasma TV and my all weather steel-belted radials, and I won't say anything. Just leave us alone!"

Well, we should not leave anyone anywhere alone, to deal with this.

We should get mad about what is happening to us and our world wide neighbours.

I don't want you to protest. I don't want you to riot. I don't want you to write to your Government Representative, because I wouldn't know what to tell you to write. I don't know what to do about our collective depression, financial woes, homelessness, terrorism and the crime in the street.

All I know is that first, we've got to get mad enough about the horrors happening to others!

You've got say, "I'm a human being, they are my brothers and sisters, all of our lives have value!"

So, I want you to get up now. I want all of you to get up out of your chairs. I want you to get up right now and go to the window, open it, and stick your head out and yell:

"I'm as mad as heck, and I'm not going to take this anymore!!"

After this, pray for those who need it, do a deed of kindness and selflessness, secretly for others. For from each deed, this will encourage those you help to do a deed of kindness and selflessness for others as well and on and on, until we make this a better world for all to live in.

Think about it, God gave us a world that can feed, clothe and house all.

Let's share the love that He hardwired into all of us.

Take away the control from the wicked!

Sir Richard...
