Time, events, and natural aging will force
the biology and DNA to control their behavior, to think of themselves first
and foremost, and often paramount. Goodness is a struggle to hold onto,
not naivete, but innocent wide-eyed wonder and belief of a future that
will and must always be better and better in the face of all that would
divert it to apsire toward something lower than the sky (the heavens),
how those in power will convince us how things must be, must remain that
way because they are or were that way, and away from that higher level
we need to constantly work toward and to keep our focus on, to reach the
highest and best potentials of all humanity.
Governments now are routinely bribed to limit business sectors down
to a few "competitors", only large corporations that charge hundreds to
thousands of times the cost of production because competition is limited
through regulations, licenses, and other means so that only the wealthiest
can enter and sustain the markets. All others must get bought up, bought
off, or shut out by obvious attempts to drive less deep-pocketed competitors
out of business. Anti-trust laws are a joke. Governments cozy up to those
who break such monopoly and price-fixing laws and are on their payroll
as much as the police and judges are on "other" payrolls in the former
Soviet Union. The little game of getting rewarded after or in-between government
positions (with exorbitant salaries) fools only those who don't give a
shit about how their corruption and favoritism-for-sale isn't corruption
at all because they write the laws to exempt it and themselves. Uncorrupt
high elected officials in the US are becoming non-existent. The high paying
jobs after leaving office, sweetheart deals, are just too easy and the
public too clueless to know how to demand they stop. And the press too
much a player in the game to make much of a fuss over it. They are well
rewarded not to, and in turn reward the politicians back. They all share
the same bed.
Real people dying, starving, forced by circumstances into economic slavery,
prostitution, selling their organs or children, that is truth. Why the
world must be that way, why we turn a blind eye to the fact that these
things happen only because of the way the world is structured which hypocritically
says "oh these things are terrible", those are all interpretations often
having no truth. Change to keep all such things from occurring is always
at hand and only kept back by all those with power telling us how much
they hate such things, but what can be done? And all their cures, privatizing
their peoples resources, selling them water where before it was free and
raising the price of their food to "world" prices suited to imports and
exports pricing them out of affording their own local grown foods, the
"cures" we prescribe for them always profits our companies or the rich
in their countries and leaves them more screwed than they were before.
Social Darwinism is alive and well and is now the real mantra of the world.
Change is inevitable and more than likely the global geopolitical model
will change often over the next 500 years should humanity in any form of
the word survive. Sometimes to more economically just models, sometimes
to ones even more socially Darwinistic because more openly (less hypocritically)
committed to injustice than the one today. To takes stands for and against
these if fine and necessary to some degree, but some like me must remind
people they (the global political/socio-economic models) are only what
can be achieved by what most people can imagine and aspire to, balanced
against what the most powerful are able to take, for they will always be
willing to take more than they need.
When people think their society has a genuine interest in helping them
achieve their own modest goals, they are more likely to work for the benefit
of others and feel a sense of belonging and brotherhood with them. When
a society works against this, breaks down the sense of obligation to help
one another, people become less likely to be concerned of the welfare of
others and answer it more and more truthfully with "Why should I help them
when I know I cannot count on them to help me?" This deteriorates the foundations
of societies, sets everyone eventually against each other, and benefits
the worst people (in that society) and plays to humanities worst instincts.
That this is being most forced upon other nations (to think in those terms)
by the "Christian" right, should have by now made it apparent that labels
mean nothing to the truth of what is being done. Evil is most effective
when done in the name of Heaven and God. Anyone knows most often there
is the selfish thing to do and the right thing to do, but now those who
hold the most powerful positions always benefiting themselves and their
friends convince us that it is also the right thing to do, not only by
appealing to our logic and compassion, but bribing us that they will enrich
us while screwing those less fortunate than ourselves and offer a place
at their feast off of those weaker will be made for us if we go along with
it.
If you were too bright relative to others, what almost any government
or society would use you to do,
Law - rules written and agreed mutually between the most powerful and
influential within a society for the benefit of governing their interactions
between EACH OTHER to prevent constant gang wars over each other's "territory"
or "interests". Weaker are not consulted except perfunctorily because 1)
they do not matter, and 2) they are what is divided up for influence and
traded between the most powerful groups or members, the goods or spoils
of who gets to exert the most control over them (to sell to them or to
control them outright) to keep the ones who make the laws be able to co-exist
with each other in relative peace by not directly challenging each others
bases except in regards to divvying who gets to control the trade with
the weaker ones, whether in above markets (international trade) or black
markets (of city streets). When one party gets substantially stronger,
the other powerful groups must more and more admit that party is now in
a better situation, no longer (their) equal but has now moved to a higher
orbit where they are able to transgress the rules more often (than) the
others who defined the laws before, because they are as much above them
now as they (the others who did not move up) are above the weaker groups.
Examples: M$, USA foreign policy.
If you know what you write will inevitably be erased or purged from
others view, that to me is ammunition to make it so good and so important,
that it shows absolutely clearly and without any doubt that those who would
do such things without thinking about it and without shame to be what they
really are, the spiritual heirs of the book-burning Nazis, and the fathers
of future firemen everywhere. Their profession is old and future prospects
growing every day, because of what they do. It is a circular loop and getting
wider.
