People just don't care anymore . I know people who know whats happening but say what can we do about it ..just forget it .

I am not optimistic about the Human Race . There is too much "Consumerism addiction ". It reminds me of Star Trek episode where one planet sold drugs to a neighboring planet and they were hooked on it . They could not see what they had become.

@codewalters Reconnecting to nature as best we can will help a lot. The folks who want to sleep may wake up as more and more folks take action and spread the juice of freedom.

@codewalters I think they do care but are removed form cause and effect results in addition to being lulled buy a variety of drugs that keep hearts hollow and minds searching strip-malls, bars, relationships, and the like to fill what only can be filled from within. Thanks for your thoughts.

Don't worry, Jesus ios going to come back and make everything new before we can totally destroy ourselves and sort out all those nasty unbelievers. Just ask Rod Parsley and Ken Hagee and their little friend John McCain.

The scary part is that we are the second coming, "and you will do greater things" the alarm clock has been ringing since the temple fell. We are slow to learn and fast asleep.

This makes sense. I had a vision once where I was being devoured alive by a giant pig-monster with an American flag stapled to its forehead. This video makes sense.

The poem below Planetary Lament: USA Today

written 11/13/1986.

You take my resources blow out my borders

control my government teach my police

You stop my agriculture buy my land

employ my workers at pennies an hour

You withhold distribution of foodstuffs

we make telephones instead if lucky enough to have a job My poor are getting poorer by the hour Bellies bulging Children dying Big frightened eyes shedding waterless tears

Profit is your bottom line and lining Free marketing the key to my country the nails to my coffin

The higher we climb the faster higher we may fall. it is worth the risk!
