Freedom in America is a
thing of the past. The
Constitution is suspended and maybe ended.
One can almost conclude that there must be
something in the drinking water that is keeping ordinary
citizens from rational thinking or reaching intellectual
maturity.
We spend our lives seeking
entertainment in all its possible forms as we elect and honor
crooks and fools to watch the store while we party.
This is not to say that we don’t pretend to be
responsible, we apparently just don’t know any longer how to
actually be responsible.
Here are some of the things we
are doing, the sum total of which are pointing literally to
the demise of the human race:
1) permanently poisoning the
earth with radioactive materials as in the use of depleted
uranium weapons and other irresponsible uses of nuclear
energy;
2) tampering with the genetic
makeup of animals and plants without understanding the
potential irreversible consequences;
3) depleting the earth of carbon
based resources, while using those resources in a manner that
will change weather patterns to the detriment of all humanity
and other life forms;
4) disregarding hundreds of
years of knowledge, experience, and advances in the practice
of jurisprudence;
5) failing to educate our
children as to the desirability and efficacy of intellectual
honesty, compassion, peace, fairness, and decency in human
behavior and interaction;
6) knowingly destroying life
sustaining ecosystems including the oceans, waterways, rainforests, woodlands, marshes, and more;
7) worshipping money and
honoring greed to the point of destroying social systems
worldwide;
8) worshipping war as we make
peace and security impossible;
9) allowing politicians,
political systems, and many corporate enterprises to become
corrupted and counter-productive to their original intended
purpose;
10) allowing certain drugs,
chemicals, and other practices to enter the mainstream of
commerce when it is fully known that doing so is harmful to
people and other life forms;
11) near total corruption or
dysfunction in our media and educational
institutions which are failing to disseminate the information
and resources
citizens need to reverse these trends;
12) spending time, money, and
energy on frivolities in our personal and public lives as the world
approaches the brink of collapse.
