Who are you?

     I call upon you, the people that read these words...who are you?  What is your purpose in this world?  Have you found a way to promote a well being within your own family?  Have you been able to succeed in things that any other human can succeed in?  Have you fallen short of succeeding in the things that have led to the riches of our most respected members of society?  If not, have you found a way to use your intelligence, or pay for another's intelligence to accrue wealth from a member of the working class?  A member that is just happy to get his hourly pay?  Does that make you better than him?  Maybe you believe that it does...maybe that person that takes $10,000 of your money to build a deck to your house allows you to sell your house for $20,000 more.  Without lifting a finger you just made $10,000. 

Of course you will be pleased with this result.  Obviously you will gain from the labor of another.  But did you earn this money?  You know you didn't, but in this present system you know that having money will help you make money.  Therefore, the gap between the rich and the poor will grow.  The system works for you, right?  If those losers aren't as good as you, it's their own fault that they don't get to enjoy the earnings you get, right?

Well, what about the day that those people decide to screw you over?  What if your sub-servants refuse to increase the value of your home?  Then what?  Don't you see why you should be on the side of the working class?  Nothing exists without the working class, and slowly but surely that class is beginning to realize how important they are to the creation of all the wealth we enjoy today.  When they realize that they are the driving force, all those people that looked down upon them will be the first to be ignored when a revolution is sparked. 

You can rest upon the laurels of the foolery that has earned you your false riches...or you can sow the seeds amongst the men that gave you everything that you enjoy today, and maybe...just maybe, they'll help protect  you, and take you in as one of their own...otherwise, you will be that person scrambling for safety, with no real skills to save you. 

Make your decisions now, for you may not have much longer to hold up this injust system.

Suicide

Supposedly we are the smartest living beings on this earth...yet we have the only members of any living species that chooses to end their own lives.  Something is wrong...Let's get together and fix it.

Uproot the weed instead of cutting its leaves

     What I find in dealing with the opposition is that they are always concerned with the little details of the argument.  For instance, I read a web page about the Just War Theory ( http://www.iep.utm.edu/j/justwar.htm)  and the debate was about consequential philosophies and intrinsic philosophies.  The debate talked about how to go about war and what targets are not acceptable in war.  It talked about how vague one side could be, or how restrictive the other side can be.  My point is that war altogether is an awful thing created by the hands of the powerful to try to lasso the whole world for their own lives of luxury.

       It makes me wonder if I can get to the root of the problems I wish to solve, or if I must solve symptom after symptom to be effective.  My fear is that I will end up so consumed with solving the symptoms that we will never get to the real problem.  In today's society we are consumed with finding pills to solve our headaches, blood pressure problems, and even depression.  Never is it profitable to find the reason that these things become problems.  This is why the profit system continues to create more madness on the world.  The more problems that arise from breaking the laws of nature, the more business opportunities exist in this world.

       The end result is that those with money will always have interest in keeping the majority a victim of consequence, instead of making them benefactors of prevention.  It seems that most prevention campaigns, especially through the media are paid for by companies that will save money in the event of a successful campaign.

    We have the manpower to solve every problem known to man, but as long as it is profitable to solve only the symptoms we will never realize our true human destiny.  We have the power of free will and complex thought.  We should be able to make this Earth into its own heaven if we put our heads together.  Until the majority of the world stops following the proclaimed leaders of this world, those leaders will continue to keep conditions in their favor.  It doesn't have to be like this.

Thomas Jefferson...again!

Thomas Jefferson's
Warning To America
5-21-5

"I believe that banking institutions are more dangerous to our liberties than standing armies. If the American people ever allow private banks to control the issue of their currency, first by inflation, then by deflation, the banks and corporations that will grow up around [the banks] will deprive the people of all property until their children wake-up homeless on the continent their fathers conquered. The issuing power should be taken from the banks and restored to the people, to whom it properly belongs."

* Letter to the Secretary of the Treasury Albert Gallatin (1802) and later published in The Debate Over The Recharter Of The Bank Bill (1809)Thomas Jefferson's

George Orwell

In addition to his book about Big Brother in which you must now realize that not only are we video taped a majority of our lives, but the rest of our lives is monitored in various ways, he wrote the subject below in a book called Homage to Catalonia.   This entry is about his time in Spain after the Spanish Civil War in the 1930's.  The attitudes described fell apart only due to outside military actions.  We wouldn't want people thinking that human beings are naturally good cooperative people. (sic)       I had dropped more or less by chance into the only community of any size in Western Europe where political consciousness and disbelief in capitalism were more normal than their opposites. Up here in Aragon one was among tens of thousands of people, mainly though not entirely of working-class origin, all living at the same level and mingling on terms of equality. In theory it was perfect equality, and even in practice it was not far from it. There is a sense in which it would be true to say that one was experiencing a foretaste of Socialism, by which I mean that the prevailing mental atmosphere was that of Socialism. Many of the normal motives of civilized life – snobbishness, money-grubbing, fear of the boss, etc. – had simply ceased to exist. The ordinary class-division of society had disappeared to an extent that is almost unthinkable in the money-tainted air of England; there was no one there except the peasants and ourselves, and no one owned anyone else as his master.

Why do they call it race?

The purpose of skin colors, hair amounts, and physical builds are to help a particular human survive in its native wilderness. Once the population of a specific region has become civilized enough to build durable shelters, these features start to lose importance. As the descendants of these newly civilized groups of people spread out and mix with other cultures with different features, the difference in these features fade away. Anyone has the right to associate with whomever they want. Inside the civilization (however advanced or not) the people work together to produce shelters. This is a simplistic way to say that many people of skill and knowledge erect structures that slowly chip away at the need for some of the natural defenses they were bestowed with. This cooperation has nothing to do with skin color, or nationality. Skin color has no real influence on the cooperation, only a perceived influence.

A person who concerns themselves with the true worth of a human being instead of the skin color can mate with someone of a different shade of skin color. Skin colors range from practically white to just about charcoal. The skin colors of two mates can compromise the shade of skin color, as well as other physical features. This in itself can spawn a new race of people. As time goes on, and people learn to traverse the globe, races mix, and form common races. Even today, cultures approve of same race marriages to keep the race pure, but this act only divides the globe. As colors eventually mix together, the lines between races begin to fade. Each new race that is created strengthens the positions of the original races. The new race advances and joins other races in a quest for happiness, and economic prosperity.

Humans who share skin color share a certain pride in their own race. Whether it be for joining hands and gaining much economic prosperity, or for realizing that race-mates have struggled in the same manner as themselves, people tend to identify with each other based on experiences. Races that are further behind can join the race to be acknowledged as a productive people on this earth. If the races that were well to do, reached down and picked up their brothers and sisters, brought every race to the level of the highest races, it would allow new people to help us solve the problems of the world. It would allow all people to advance to a point where every human being could contribute something to better society. It would lead to advancement as a whole, more hands, more brains all working to make this world a better place.

The world is in competition mode right now. Instead of Europe, Asia, and North America (the most advanced continents of the world) working together to advance already existing technology, they are in competition to be better than the other. Industrial espionage is the one tool used to keep a certain flow of information between competing nations. Without it, every country would have to advance at its own pace. See how well that has done for what we call Third World countries. The same Third World countries that we Americans are afraid of being “terrorized” by. What is the point of keeping various peoples at different places on the “technology-timeline” when we could cooperate and advance faster. Not only advance faster, but make life better for everybody all at once. We could master the laws of nature and break the chains of government, while feeling good about ourselves and each other. We could advance so quickly as to have the answers to problems that haven’t arisen yet. We would have an arsenal of technology to leap frog over obstacles thus leaving us time to concentrate on returning the Earth to a state of balance that maintains itself for eternity, thus defeating the term “End of the World.”
