The Manic Maniac: Agents of Chaos, Agents of Change - Jul 24, 2008 - 06:27am
pessimistic? did someone say pessimistic? I agree with Joe, metaphorically. Our society is numb. People are becoming sheep, daily. Nothing is ever fixed for the better, unless money is being lost. We are not concerned with the condition of peoples lives or the state of our country, we are concerned about our portfolio and Paris Hilton. We watch the news to get our fix of depression and then just change the channel to a reality show. Our system has been flawed and is now finally breaking down around us but we are so complacent and fat, that we do nothing at all but talk about it, never inducing change. Politicians, the good ones, are powerless to do anything against the top 1% of the wealthy in this country. We need a revoLution in this country. Not only against the unstoppable system that lies to us but also against the immovable institutions that steal from us. I believe the Joker dwelled on these aspects became completely deranged and insane from all of this and then spawned from the overwhelming hatred he has of our flawed system of society. The Dark Knight is one of the greatest movies made to date, on many different levels. But, I really appreciated the implied metaphor of todays society within Gotham.

"Until then, if you want to talk about change and revolution, do something more than just talking - even if you get arrested for it."-You almost sound like a little anarchist yourself. 8]I am not Leftist, or Rightist. I chose not to pick a side because the system is bought and paid for by whoever is interested and has the money to enforce their interests.Ras Al Gul talks about corruption as if its a virus. This country is weak and sickened with corruption. Aside from poisoning Gotham, I appreciated most of his views on fighting corruption and empires.In this idea of democracy there are supposed to be checks and balances to prevent failures or even imbalances in the government and in business. It is weighted down, influenced and tainted by abused loopholes and corrupted bureaucrats. "Executive privileges", "Sub Prime loans","Oil Speculation" and "The Patriot Act" comes to mind...This system is supposed to provide avenues for the people to take control and steer this country in the right direction by way of voting. It has failed. Voting, your congressman, special interest groups, your lobbiests, they are all paid for. And the result is, the people are powerless to change anything by the avenues that are allowed to use. Which is why we need a Boston Tea Party v2.0 and it is also why I liked Ra's and the Jokers approach to change.
