I meant, "So, most look no further and struggle to find a way to accept or go crazy. Going crazy is to remain sane in insanity. "
In that respect, as a kind of response to the pressure to be and think like everyone else.
Because most are insane, the pressure is become like them, insane.
The definition I am going by for insanity is, "to not know the difference between right and wrong, good or bad, true or false."
May 7 2013: Everett.
Okay. It's filled with generalizations but so too is your proposal:
"Fix everything...........with a new school system."
What is every thing?
Is it corruption, crime, greed? Because those need to be fixed before an education will work because how and what children are educated, on, wth and about, will determine whether or not they will in fact be able to "fix everything." If their system is corrupt, and it is 100% through and through, then their education will still revolve around how to become successful in a corrupt system.
The only way is to become corrupt.
It is not a generalization to say that most or many Americans don't seem to mind their minor children being solicited and groomed for killing.
That is exactly what is being done. If they don't agree, then stop it.
They can't. They don't know how to, they're afraid to, so they are leaving it up to their children to do so, so, at least teach them how to do it.
An unjust, corrupt system can never be made just.
A completely new and just system must be created and implemented in place of a corrupt one.
If you think it can be made just, then you are fooling yourself. That is what people have been trying to do for who knows how long, and they have failed.
It is not possible.
Which kind of education do you think is needed?
May 7 2013: Why are we so tired after being born?
Is it because we have come from a very long distance away?
Perhaps, but once here, and for the duration of our time on this planet,
we seem to have not come very far.
But, it isn't human nature as to how we behave. That is such a false and easy way out to avoid really looking at the reasons or causes for our behavior.
Humans have many choices on how to respond to their environment. If it were solely human nature and that a limited one, namely to the types you, Anna, listed, then that is how we would always behave, me thinks.
But we don't.
I believe first of all, that what we believe is false. "It's human nature." Nope. It is a perversion of our nature because so many are not getting their needs met and this was also true many years ago. "If we forget history, we are condemned to repeating it." Well, when one cannot remember, then one cannot repeat. If one person or a people repeat what they cannot remember, then that is a sign they have been brainwashed. So, look at those who push the idea of not forgetting, and that is how and why we repeat our history. That kind of propaganda is generally done by those in power, going way, way, back because it is in that kind of unjust system whereby they keep their power through manipulating the masses.
So, yes the fighting, rising, falling and so on go on and the changes never get started.
The system, from the very beginning was unjust and still is.
Thus, it can never be made just and a new and just system must be created and implemented.
It cannot contain the reasons for corruption or greed, or crime.
The only way to do this is to attack the causes and eliminate them.
This is not what humans do. They are misled into all kinds & various forms of ills that all come from one or two single causes, but they are told again and again, it is human nature and can never be changed. So, most look no further and struggle to find a way to accept or go crazy. Going crazy is to remain sane in insanity.
May 5 2013: Let's see.
Close to 100% of all crime worldwide, is directly connected to money.
The other small percent is indirectly connected to money.
A resource-based economy.
While people scoff at it, no one here or elsewhere in the world has been working on redesigning or re-engineering society like Mr. Jacque Fresco through his Venus Project. No one. So all one has to say is to demean his work.
The monetary system has been kept going through fear, wars, massive death and enormous pollution.
I don't see how anyone can continue to support it or blindly choose ignorance over the reality of what it has done.
It clearly cannot continue, will collapse and all our problems will still exist.
The resources to use. The factories, institutions, knowledge, will, desire, wants, needs, tools and so on, will all be there. So too, will people.
One is led to believe that because there is no money, there is no motive.
Amazing.
Clearly many can no longer think for themselves. They only think what they have been told to think regarding our problems.
That keeps them alive and well.
May 5 2013: "What is the foundation of our nation?" (the u.s.?)
I thought it was honesty and integrity.
Let's see what actually happened?
Deceit, lies, deception, theft, murder, prejudice, racism, intolerance, persecution, prosecution, incarceration, lots of propaganda and now brainwashing, terrorism and Fascism.
Looks like greed, crime and corruption.
The cause? Money.
Get rid of money.
Then, and only then, can humans solve these problems because money blocks solving them.
Things don't.........."get done".................because of money.
Things............."don't get done"..............because of money.
Nothing costs money.
Everything costs people.
Educate people that way.
Human Needs should be Human Rights. Freely given.
Given by whom? By everyone for that is what everyone is working for already but because of money too many, now many more, are starving, dying, diseased, polluted, dying of thirst and water-born diseases, trapped in slavery, poverty, murdered through the blood-thirsty-for-blood-letting wars of leaders, all for gain because of money.
Educate people in how to change these, how to stop this and how we are all connected, not separate as leaders tell us and use against us.
No one wants war so nations, people have to be fooled, tricked into war, i.e. lies, propaganda, deception, deceit and so on.
May 5 2013: The welfare system?
Bankers, stockbrokers, financial institutions, the medical insurance industry, the CIA, who blatantly admitted they lost? Lost? 2.3 trillion dollars!!!!!!!!!! Have you forgotten the bailout? HMMMMMMMMMM?
Have you forgotten the bonuses they got paid and how they partied? How could you focus on this trivial stuff when those at the top are stealing enormous amounts of money from you?
Well, that's just what they want you to do. Look the other way. Look the wrong way. Look at the wrong group.
And that's what most are doing.
A billion dollars is 1,000 times more than a million. A trillion is a million, million. You are looking in the wrong direction and at the wrong people concerning a welfare system.
Welfare people live at the top, on the backs of others and very, very well.
It is even in most of your institutions.
Don't forget the California school that needed books, working toilets and the Administration spent $150,000 on a new school logo, new teacher lounges, furniture and other comfort perks and left the students without books or working toilets.
You said it yourself: "Welfare fraud is big business"
That's why the money, the real money, the real big money, goes up, not down.
The Big Dig? Supposed to cost $2.8 billion. Finished up at $14.6 billion, ultimately estimated to go higher yet to $22 billion.
Do you think this money went into the pockets and accounts of regular workers?
HA! No. It went somewhere else. Just look up when ever you wish to know who are the real crooks
The creation of the first Superfund, designated to cleanup 20,000 nuclear waste sites.
The immediate loss of, I think it was, 1.3 or 1.5 billion dollars for this purpose.
Still has never been found. One person went to prison for it, but she didn't have the money but one thing you can bet on, someone high up does. Someone you might vote for or already have. Someone you believe and trust, who is filthy rich.
May 4 2013: We are kept apart from one another:
by false beliefs, lies, deception.
Parsing out value to people as though that makes sense, that we are not all valuable, deserving of equal rights and not really recognizing Human Needs as Human Rights.
We then not only do not see the connections between us, we don't feel them, recognize them and let them guide us into answering the question we all face, "what shall I do?"
Instead, we not only allow evil, we intentionally close our hearts to one another and then we can easily accept or tolerate collateral starvation, collateral poverty, collateral slavery, collateral crime, collateral greed and allow ourselves to be fooled into war and killing others.
We walk past it every day. We read about it and watch it but never really acknowledge it because we are cut off from it. We even watch American soldiers kill from afar, just like a video game, while we allow the grooming of our minor children by those who will send them to kill and die.
We have allowed others to separate us just as the Church has done for centuries where we burned others at the stake, publicly hung or tortured them, all by the use of separation. If you are not with us, then you are against us.
This stratification is getting worse. Muslims, Christians and Jews, Americans and everyone else, and it all happens because we have allowed ourselves to lose our connections with humanity, no matter who they are, where they live, how they live or what they believe.
Leaders symbolically tore down a wall that only served to fool everyone, while the more impenetrable wall was being built in all of us. Separated from ourselves and the truth within us, so that when we see, hear or learn the truth, it only finds a lie has usurped its seat in our innermost self, masquerading as the truth.
We have to find our connections. Damn race, color, religion, politics, money, military, occupation.
"In all the places we were hiding love, what was it we were thinking of?"
Peter Gabriel
May 4 2013: George.
" No one can keep a secret this long."
Are you kidding me?
We are still discovering secrets from long ago.
We have still been unearthing the truth about many things.
It took time to learn that our government has been lying to us/US and continues to lie to us/Us and you actually believe what you wrote?
Your government, through people like Barrack bin Obama, have recently used such phrases as, (paraphrased by me),"those who shrink or avoid disclosure, are those who have something to hide."
Yet your government gets more secret every day. There is virtually no transparency. It is all Opaque Obama.
And yet you believe yourself, them, especially after they have been proven to be liars, criminals, thieves and basic psychopaths.
George, if we have been told the truth, then why does our government hide it?
Why do we seek the truth if we have already been told it?
Because we "know", intuitively that we have not.
Why did our government seal everything around the JFK assassination until, what? 2031?
For what purpose?
And you believe this BS?
I've had the s.......t scared out of me many, many times in my life but I couldn't change or didn't change until something different occurred. What was it?
It was having the bu.............sh.......t scared out me. I no longer believe what any lawyer, banker, politician, military personnel, any one in any authority, who speaks to the public in any kind of venue, or any one of that ilk, has to say today.
If you do, then I think you might be so brainwashed as to not be able to reason well any more.
You might think my position sounds crazier, but please let it sink in.
Within each person, is a system, through which both lies and truth must pass on their journey to each person's inner core, their inner most self.
With the amount of lies and dis-ception Americans have been subjected to, this system is a baffle system and by the time the information reaches the core, the person is baffled, as are most Americans.
