What is wrong with us?What is wrong with our society?.We need to start over,start at the beginning.Any individual,before he can do anything else,must have food,shelter,and adequate health care.Until he has those basics,his life will be consumed with that acquisition.That is the beginning!

When we talk about society,we often presume that these basics are a given and they should be.In our society,no one should have to be consumed with acquiring the basics.Sadly that's not the case.Too many are consumed with just that.

Our first concern should be resolving that problem.Everyone should have a chance.Everyone should have enough food for sustenance,somewhere to live comfortably,and adequate health care.It's unconscionable that individuals can have 60 billion+ of wealth when we have 30 to 50 million with almost nothing.It's unconscionable!.Why do we allow it ?Why do we allow Bill Gates to have 67 billion-billion! In wealth-and then laud him as charitable!How?While supposedly devoting his "life" to charity,he gained a billion dollars in wealth.That's really charitable!People,actual living people,are starving,have no place to live,no health care,and he has 67 billion and is considered charitablelHe's not.He's always cited as the classic example of the American dream!He's a classic example of America's failure.Why do we allow it!The classic examples of the American dream turn out to be classic examples of the American nightmare!Bill Gates could give 5 million people,$13000 dollars and still have 1 billion in wealth-what a sacrifice.

Give the masses a starting point.Expose these ideological entrepreneurs of the fixed free market system!The problem lies with the corporations and the rich and the ultra-rich and their control.Why do we allow them to take advantage of us, to increase their advantage.How can we be that stupid?How can we allow it to happen?How can we make the corporations give us health care and pensions and decent pay.It was that way before corporations.All of corporate profits(all!)now go to upper management.How can we,the people(sound familiar?)regain control of our lives?

The answer, of course,is in government.We,the people,must take control of the government.Corporations and the rich and ultra-rich that they have created ,are quickly obtaining complete contol of the government,rather governments at all levelsand we have allowed it.Part of the reason for their success is the intense anti-government propaganda that they disseminate-and it's good.They have most of the country believing that government is the problem;it is ,but not in the way that they say.The problem is that we don't have a government that represents the people.we have a government that represents the corporations and the rich.If we can't stop it we will have Big Brother and it will be because of our own doing!Don't believe the propaganda!Don't!Government can be our savior, if it is our government.If we don't take control now,it will take a revolution later and success may not be possible.We must demand campaign reform now,before it is too late.I hope it's not too late already!

Love and lust

Lust is immediate.Love takes time.Sometimes love begins with an afterthought and after lust has diminished.And strangely enough,lust can be revived.

Faith and Logic

Faith should be introduced only after logic has been exhausted.

Police chases

Why,in this communication age,would or should there be police chases.I could never understand them.They almost never end well,almost always bad.The collateral damage is usually extensive and usually involves the innocent.The chasee  doesn't have much of a chance,but he wouldn't anyway.He can be easily tracked and cornered.

So why is it continued?I've talked to policemen and they generally agree that a chase is inefficacious.The only reason for continuance seems to be that the police like to do it.It's obviously spurred somewhat by movie glamorization.Anyway,chases aren't necessary and probably never were.So,police depts.,why not stop them now

Presidential campaigns

It just dawned on me,presidential campaigns beginning so early are a product of the media!They are the ones that force the early start!Because they have a dearth of interesting  material,they push the beginning of the presidential campaign and aspirants join.It's ridiculous,but everyone seems to join and perpetuate.Let's resist-please!Don't get sucked in!

Religion

It's past time to address organized religion.Religion has run it's course,at least in it's present form.Religions are created because we can't visualise the absence of life.We need to account for after death.It would be OK if religion adressed only that,but no,it must control life-and not propitiously.Organized religion espouses rationalization.It can do anything,no matter how irrational,in the name of whatever god  has been invoked.All is forgiven with repentance.

There is really little difference  between religions and cults,other than the leader being less identifiable in organized religion;less so in catholicism(pope).All of the leaders profess to be the instruments of an imaginary supreme being and use that status to influence their subjects through devious manipulation.They molest and extort and control...almost absolutely.

The leaders are the religions creators through their self-designated representation of an obscure deity.Why would anyone believe them?But,strangely,many do.How these self-iappointed representatives gain the credence that they do is baffling.They manage to acquire a power that is dangerous.They,consequently,are dangerous.Organized religion is dangerous.

Organized religion must be addressed.Most people know this.They simply ignore most of the the impractical tenets.But the politicians still use it to manipulate and distract for their own ends.Organized religion is one of the biggest impediments to logical progress
in our society and needs to be tempered.We need to work toward that end.
