Ooooh controversy.

I have spent quite a lot of today seeing through the veil. I'll talk you through it.

Myspace notifies me of an update by Serj Tankian, a man who I highly respect due to his situation being quite similar to mine. I learn that 24th April is the national recognition day of the Armenian Genocide. Fury rises as I learn more. I read more about the "outsiders" of society, not willing to fall in line with the others.

Serj Tankian. Rage against the machine. Anti-Flag. These are but a few of people out there trying to do things.

There's a lot of shit out there. A LOT. My wanderings take me to the xkcd forums, where I read through quite a few of the threads, and marvel at the logic and the intellectual replies. These intruige me.

I refuse to be a statistic. I will make a difference. Call this a self-motivational. I will not be just a person falling in line with the rest. I will do what I can for people less fortunate then me, via direct aid or supporting others that would. I won't blindly follow orders.

I read about these Sudbery schools. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sudbury_school) They sound...curious. And fantastic.

However, there is a flip side to these kinds of thinking. Surely, I can't be the only one. I must bet that nearly every child to emerge from these systems feels the same way. I am going to quote something;

"You must fancy yourself a rebel, who stands against all forms of authority, and thinks that the Government, corporations and the 'Man' are responsible for all the wrongs in the world which of course isn't very rebellious at all and is what every other 20-something moron in the world who thinks he has an original thought in the world believes."
- How to be Evil
Perhaps this is the case. I know i'm not getting the full picture. But allow my outrage now. I'm 15, I can still be a brat.

Edit; I'm not going to flail this post at other people. Let's see who actually cares for updates.
