I Long for Mankind to come together, and act in the best interests of ALL |

The best interest of all the people of the earth, not the best interests of politicians and capitalists.
What could we do, as a race, as a force of oneness - in being, in power, in success. What would we, the human race do with such power, laying now idle and unassembled? Will we ever get it together and use it? Damn, it pisses me off that people like bush, but many more, stand in the way of that. It pisses me off more to know they do it only because we allow them to do it.

2. There are two main reasons that keep members |
|
of the human race from getting along to the betterment of all. One is government and the other is religion. Both want people subservient to their respective ideals.

3. I think selfishness and insecurity are the two main reasons. |
|
Religion and government can be used for good or for ill.

5. government and religion |
|
rituals and magic - or criminals, liars, those who can see clearer than most and who just don't give a fuck about consequence. Consequence is a word seldom spoken by today's "leaders." Masters.
Things are the way they are, imho, in most of the world, because the greed and sicknesses of a few have obscured, to be kind, the needs and desires of the many.
Most people want good for themselves, and for every one else. We really are a brotherhood and a sisterhood and a peoplehood. There is something wrong when one of us drives a Hummer and one dies from lack of nutrition. That shit needs to be leveled,
I believe it is possible, we have but to do it, and if so, good for us all

8. As much as I dislike both at times: |
|
I think the real problem is blind allegiance to government or religion.

9. Allegiance. Our ability to be manipulated by symbols and peer pressure. |

But I'm down with trying.

7. all we need is a few simple rules that everyone can agree to . . . |
|
1. No more war.
2. Be kind to everyone . . . even if you don't like them.
3. Help those who have less than you do . . . even if they don't "deserve" it.
4. Protect the environment at all costs.
5. Corporations are not "persons".
