Thank god for the workers, we wouldn't want to bankrupt the multimillion dollar companies.

As the world spins in the turmoil of war and attempts at international exchange, we realize that an entire earth full of humans haven’t exactly agreed completely with one another. On the simplest level, humans share the need for food, water, air, and it helps to have sleep. Instead of destroying the humans that haven’t been around as much civilization as us, we need to find out what their ideas on life are…some of their ideas may be religiously based, but so are most of the morals in America. Once you get past the simple commonness, we web out into many ideas…it is those ideas, and the ability to share those ideas that make us great. War remains necessary until we realize this.

The internet may teach us something about this.  On the simplest level it is a means for boxes of silicon (read 'computers')  to share ideas.  These ideas are then categorized.  On AOL for example, the 'welcome screen' has listings of topics to the left side.  Such as news, sports, jobs, kids, music, as so forth.  If you click on these they take you to other screens that are broken down into sub-categories...So many of the 'welcome screen' subjects I've never looked at...imagine how many sub-categories I haven't looked at.  It's up to each individual person to decide which of those categories interest them.

Without computers there would be ZERO categories, ZERO sub-categories.  Just like without food, air, and water there are no humans to become individuals.  I guess I'm trying to demonstrate how unimportant each individual is to having life exist on this planet.  Each individual is only in control of his/herself.  It's the sharing of these multitudes of sub-categories that may bring humans together.  Individual creativity was important for inventions born from necessity.  But whose necessity? 

Tell me why my car has a computer chip in the key to prevent it from getting stolen.  I don't care if my car is stolen, the insurance company does.  You may care if your car is stolen, and for you...these transponder keys help you keep your car.  Why should I pay $100 to get a new key for my car, when I could just go to Home Depot, and make a copy?  And why is it so important to save the insurance companies' money?  Aren't they one of the richest businesses in America?  Do you think they would buy my new transponder key under my insurance policy since it is their own money they want to protect?  No way, you're foolish if you think so.  So you and I, who probably earn the smallest fraction of the insurance companies' profits, are forced to spend even MORE of our hard-earned dollars to protect an insurance company...No fucking wonder we see so many frivilous lawsuits...people are PISSED OFF at the government, and all it's bullshit...but with the police, military, and the "threat" of terrorism, they are afraid to say anything.  My mother is afraid that the government will find out what I have been saying and put me in jail as a terror threat.  You and I both know that I am examining the government and it's practices.  Not trying to claim holy land, not to push my religious beliefs on you, and not under some mystical power that nobody has ever been able to prove.  Why is it that we can prove just about every facet of life by looking at the facts, but we can't prove the existence of any god?

Ok I'm rambling...keep searching.  If you live blind to what is happening to you, you may never realize how free you were meant to be.
