David, I join you in the despair thing. We the people of the U.S. have no say in what our government does. We are nothing more than innocent bystanders as those above us do their willing. My only wish is that the world does not hold us responcible for the actions of our government. So sorry to have sent you bad news. Your friend, 76-water; Good times to all!!

Thanks for the link, 76-water. I put this article on the Daily Kos. The number of comments I got from people who have no idea what America is up to or that it is planning to nuke Iran was unbelievable. It makes me despair.

Well David, There are so many to choose from.(grin) However it was the news of the House bill 1553 being passed which gave Israel an American (Okey Dokey) to atack Iran and that we (Americans) will back them in whatever they decide to do. Here I’ll send you the link. http://www.opencongress.org/bill/111-hr1553/show

Damian, my thesis is that if we have the intelligence, why are we in the mess we are in? I say the proof is in the pudding so to speak.

But I certainly agree that, if you spend your life hating and destroying (like America), then you don’t develop compassion and love!

Amerikagulag, Governments are not accountable in the main and those who participate in them do not face the consequences of their actions (like Bush who attacked Iran or Obama who escalated the war in Afghanistan). And, likewise, how do we oust those who wage war?

We, the people, are dumbed down and powerless. We are manipulated by Governments who in turn are manipulated by corporations, clerics, Business Tycoons,militarists, etc. How do we change this dynamic?

If we were more intelligent and better educated, we could change our world.

Cheers.

Returning to our roots is important. Returning to the land – to our stewardship of it; to our kinship to it. But first, we must oust all those who wage wars. We must defeat hatred that is sourced by our governments. We must act against the LIES which cause the wars. We must REFUSE to war. Governments MUST be held accountable and those in decision making capacity MUST be made to face consequences. Until the ‘governments’, particularly those waging war are incapacitated, we can never hope to accomplish peace.

When the power of Love overcomes the love of power, the world will know peace.

Well the way I see it we do have the intelligence for stopping war, making peace, eliminating poverty, but we do have the intelligence for the opposite. Most chose not to exercise the other intelligence and it suffers from a metaphorical atrophy and disappears. Kind of like if you spend your entire life hating and destroying, I doubt you would have much compassion and love. maybe a twisted love… like how Pax Americana is supposed to be a twisted peace via American domination.

Yeah, if the nukes start falling, caves may provide the only shelter for any survivors, 76-water.

How we got into this predicament is interesting. It certainly wasn’t because of our superior intelligence.

You know, we may end up returning (to the caves) out of necessity rather than choice depending on how our future unfolds. After more thought, referring to one of my earlier posts, descrimination is as far as I believe a learned responce. And to top it off is the cause of all wars and conflicts. Any time a person, or group of persons feel more entitled to anything than another person or persons presto we have descrimination. Things like land, food or resources seems like what most conflicts are about. Peace would reign eternal if we could all share our resources equally among our fellow inhabitants on the planet as (one) people. Of course I see many obsticles to this realisation. For one Americans enjoy our present rate of consumption as do many Western nations. Don’t know that everyone would be willing to make the sacrafices necessary. The biggest obsticle would be the rich, but then thats how they got rich. Well, back to the caves, I percieve it would be communal living where the chores were shared among the dwellers. Maybe better by choice than necessity. Good times to all!
