I think people assume that because life has gone as it has that life will go on in the same manner. Part of the problem is that people don't see the world as it is or as it has been. Illusions of comfort rule any thought. We are pleasure seekers. Addicts. Take for instance the myth of America. Founded on Freedom and Democracy? No, this country was founded on the brutal slaughter of millions of American Indians. And in a couple of weeks we'll get together with our families and rejoice in merriment over what? Cause some nice Indians gave us some corn? And then we raped, poisoned, burned, and murdered them. Thanksgiving is a feast of vainglorious gluttony. As we can never stuff our fat mouths with enough sweet potatoes and cranberry sauce, we also can never get enough of what others have and we want. This wonderful nation is founded on blood and survives only on the continuous destruction of other and its own people. It is a viscous and endless pit of egocentric consumption.

So life will go on like this. To what extent? There is more violence and war than ever. And people think humanity is more evolved now than in the past??????????? Any knowledge that has been gained in the past few millennia is used to further implement more controls, more violence, more destruction. Modern man follows systems that do not make human beings better. Religion, science, education have done NOTHING. Only to create more ignorance.

more on this later.

First, I'd like to thank Riverbend, the blogger from Baghdad Burning . Her dedication to informing people about what is happening in Iraq is beneficial to the world. She is a little bit of light shining through the massive devastation occurring in her country.

I don't know where to start.

I can't believe how ignorant most of my fellow Americans are. Throughout the day I listen to conversations about 'I just bought a new Ford Ranger; the heated leather seats are amazing' or others of a similar nature. What is amazing is the level of chosen stupidity and ignorance most Americans have developed. Ignorance is learned, how ironic. Not only are the things we focus on shallow and meaningless, our attention span is a monster out of control. We are one massive ADD collection of people hyped up on mood altering drugs. Reality is just to painful to look at for most. Its just easier to focus on the meaningless accumulation of things rather than the way humanity really functions. I know of many who measure how much 'God' loves them by their 'blessings' of material wealth. The fact most likely is that their wealth has most likely come either through the direct or indirect suffering of others. I do believe that a 'God' exists which 'rewards and punishes' but I don't perceive that god in the same light as most. This vengeful god is more likely a representation of pure evil than anything else. A wolf in sheep's clothing. I see the religious right of 'Christian' fundamentalists as a cult of Satan worshipers. And their actions prove it.

The religious Reich in America leads the storm of blood-shed through stupidity. If I hear that Bush won because of his 'moral values' one more time I may loose control of my bodily functions and start vomiting convulsively. Brutal murderers do not have morals. Pyscopaths do not have morals. For a look at what Bush's moral values have accomplished take a look here: http://www.informationclearinghouse.info/article2604.htm

I'd say America is run by insanity but in truth reality is even more scarier than that. The mentally ill don't come close to the blood lusting nature of the psychopathic in office right now.

But people like that don't just come in to power accidentally. It seems American society is designed to create such people and advance them. This is an uncaring country. How many times have you heard, 'It's not personal, its business'? What this means is 'I am addicted to material luxury so much, I will annihilate anyone's life who gets in the way of my physicality fix.' And this is the american way of life. We go to school to learn and build this system of greed and material success. Who ever gets in our way, well, its not personal, its business. An so the corporations are built within the same structure of a psychopath. Neither are likey to have souls. Lies, manipulation, stepping on anyone to raise to the top, saying one thing while doing the opposite...This is our 'democratic' system as well.

For an indepth look at the psychopathic operation of American culture I suggest to read this:

This is my perception of reality. I may be wrong in part or in whole. It is just what I think is most likely to be true given the facts I have at this time. Over time new evidence can come into the picture and I may change my opinion. However, given the mountain of information that exists about all the above, I highly doubt I am wrong.

I'll start out with a little about my self. I'm 23 and live in America. I am not a patriot. I think most of my post will be about politics, human nature, and reality in general. I think most of humanity is asleep. I am saddened by the current world and I don't think it will be getting better any time soon.
