"Avec l'émeute déjà qui gronde Paris ressemble à un volcan Prêt à vomir la lave de sa colère" - Enjolras, Les Miserables French Musical version, Donnez, Donnez (Look Down)

"with the rumbling riots here, Paris resembles a volcano with its angry top ready to explode!" - English translation of those lines.

My poor Patria! You sink further and further into the labyrinth and ignore the cries of the people. Patria, how long will the people cry? Before our people all leave and emigrate, the only option left for young people living in the USA.

Well, not the only option- the other one is be involved in a field you are totally not passionate about, or talented in- but heyy that's what the economy needs! who cares if you hate it?

What about this? a world where everybody gets jobs in fields where they are passionate about, a world where you work at what you are good at?

My friends, this is a recipe for discontent that shouldn't be ignored.

Before anybody calls me a Communist- no, I'm not. Communism was a terrible and oppressive system.

This article is to mainly address there is a problem here in the United States and we must address this problem and instead of doing nothing about it, before the volcano erupts.

What is this division? We are all talking about it, and we all know its bad to have a nation this sharply divided. What caused it?

Citizen, you are requesting me to enter into the labyrinth of politics (thank you Simon Bolivar for the cool term) and I shall do my best to emerge unharmed, after all I'm already in the labyrinth. Time to take you into the labyrinth with me, so you can see up close these issues that are effecting you today...

Welcome to the Labyrinth;

Once upon a time, we were 13 colonies fighting to throw off the chains of a tyrannical empire! Now it was pretty hard to unite these colonies into a union but we did it-- kind of.

The father of our country, George Washington warned us not to form two parties.

What did we do??

Form two parties anyway. I'm looking at you Alexander Hamilton and your centralized government buddies, and you Thomas Jefferson and your states rights.

Now both Hamilton and Jefferson were interesting men and I strongly encourage you to read their works. But like all historical figures, they did some awful things and this was one of them.

The two party system successfully divided us into two camps.

Now the 19th century, easily the most heated century in US Politics- it makes the current mess seem like child's play!

Pro-slavery and anti-slavery forces divided strongly into two camps. Now sadly, the abolitionists were a minority-- most people were more concerned about saving the union.

Excuse me citizen, hand me that soapbox

Slavery, a terrible ugly stain on this nation was a major point of contention. Of course many other factors came into the Civil War- cultural misunderstandings, deaths of major compromisers, states rights, constitutional issues, etc.

After the Civil War our nation tried to "hide our wounds" instead of "mend up our wounds" (as Lincoln said) we glossed over the ugly points of history, we put talking politics and religion to the backroom.

With the Cold War, politics and religion were strongly discouraged discussion points because we needed to be united against the Soviets.

20th Century USA was dominated by fear- fear even of refugees escaping both Nazi Germany and the Soviet Union. Fear of those ideologies, so we became like a turtle in a shell.

While many great medical and technological advances happened in the 20th century, it was a dark century for human rights.

Please stay turned for Part II
