A voice

I thought the interview on the Hour with Noam Chomsky on the 13th was very interesting. George Stroumboloupoulos had some great questions, but I wish it could have been longer, actually. I didn't know a lot about Chomsky before, I recognized the name, my mum might have mentioned him earlier. I thought it was great to see someone who had devoted a lifetime to speaking out against issues so important to us as people. This is a person, who cares not for himself but for the rights of everyone in society. A thinker and a speaker. There are lots of normal people who oppose big things they think are wrong, and I'd like to thank every single one of them. No matter how small or big the issue, I have so much respect for those who are willing to fight for what they believe is right for the people, against all odds. These people truly have a voice, a voice worth listening to. They aren't the huge powerful leader, but the opposition who sees through different eyes. They don't follow what anyone else has written down, but what is most important to the people. I admire anyone willing to take on something so big. For example, there's a 17 year old boy in Pincher Creek trying to stop a WAL-MART from being built in his hometown. A kid against a corporation? No matter who wins, he's getting attention and people are beginning to look at all sides of the issue, not just at the big corporation or the powerful politician. When these people show us the other perspectives of the issue, that, I believe is the beginning of social change.
