An Appropriate Translation of the speech from V for Vendetta, the movie

Tonight I was speaking with a person I had met just briefly once, about 2 weeks ago, as I and My Wife were lending this Man a hand with capturing his very playful puppy, a few thoughts came to mind, as We talked. 

Below is what I had buzzing in My mind while I was speaking with this very sharp Man, who was looking for a reason to not give up on His dreams, of a Life in the United States..

First I will say this, this post is mostly lifted from the speech, the character in the Movie 'V for Vendetta' delivered. And  I, of course,  had to changed a few things in his speech, due to this being a fiction movie, but I promise You, that the changes I have made, the adjustments to this speech are very appropriate, so that People reading this, will somewhere inside, feel these words and feel them, because They know these words are True to Their Lives...
 Enjoy   


 
Translated & Updated, from V for Vendetta and changed to fit reality,
The Reality of Today and of Life.....





Because while the truncheon may be used in lieu of

conversation, words will always retain their power.

Words offer the means to meaning, and for those who will

listen, the enunciation of truth.

And the truth is, there is something terribly wrong with

this country, isn't there?

Cruelty and injustice, intolerance and oppression.

And where once you had the freedom to object, think, and

speak as you saw fit, you now have censors and systems of

surveillance coercing your conformity and soliciting your

submission.

How did this happen? Who's to blame?

Well, certainly there are those more responsible than

others, and they will be held accountable, but again truth

be told, if you're looking for the guilty, you need only

look into a mirror.

I know why you did it. I know you were afraid. Who wouldn't

be? War, terror, disease.

There were a myriad of problems which conspired to corrupt

your reason and rob you of your common sense.
Fear got the best of you, and in your panic you turned to

anyone that said "They could and wanted to help, if you

only vote for Me".
They promised you order, they promised you peace, and all

he demanded in return was your silent, obedient consent..

Fairness, justice, and freedom are more than words, they

are perspectives.
So if you've seen nothing, if the crimes of this government

remain unknown to you, then I would suggest you, start to

pay attention to things that matter, not to the Folly of

Sport and Fashion. UN-Plug from the Opium of Society and

Plug into reality of Your power, You posses inside, but

have forgotten You own, then Speak up...

Fear has become the ultimate tool of Governments, fear of

poverty, fear of disease, fear of unemployment, fear of

Racism, fear of every kind, subtly prepared and served to

All of You......

Wake up and speak only for Yourself, before You are left standing alone, by Yourself while the dream & opportunity Life has gifted to, vanishes into the darkest recess of History & of Memory....
