Whatever
happened to the principal of doing the right thing just for the sake
of doing the right thing? What happened to Thomas Jefferson’s idea
of America, with the knowledge that anyone who became a member of a
society would automatically do the right thing for that society?
That
they would automatically have, receive, or use, common sense? Remember we as a Nation were born around the time of the
Enlightenment.
By the end of the 16th century the west had
embarked on a process of technicalization that would ultimately lead
to en entirely different kind of society.
It was a new kind of
humanity that ultimately would lead to a change in the western
perception of the role and nature of God.
The achievements of the
west changed the course of world history. This in turn opened an
already existing gap in the cultures of Islam and the west.
These
still appear difficult if not impossible to close. Until the 18th
century Islam had been the dominant world power in Africa, The Middle
East, and the Mediterranean.
By
the end of the 18th century the west had begun to dominate
the world. The very nature of its accomplishments meant that the
rest of the world would never catch up "Or so they thought, think, and now hope".
The British had also taken
control of India and Europe was colonizing as much of the world as it
could. The process of westernization had begun.
*With it the cult of
secularism began that claimed an independence of God. They had the
view that consideration of the well being of man kind would take
precedence over religious considerations.
We know what the atmosphere
was like when the Constitution was drafted. We
know what our founding fathers were intending.
We know it wasn’t
for us to twist bend and rewrite the Constitution but adhere to it
in principal to the benefit of society and country.
We
must make a concerted Nation wide effort to regain our morality. As a
Nation it is an absolute shambles. We are telling people to feel free
and tear apart our society if you want it is your right, no way.
It
is their right as much as it is the Islamists right, and no one has
the right. We are telling our citizens that they have the right to do,
say, be, anything they want regardless of what anyone else thinks.
We
are telling all the weirdo’s to come out of the proverbial closet.
Then they’re forcing us society minded righteous people in.
We are
telling our own people they have the right to do what we are telling
the terrorist they do not have the right to do. We have to get on the
same page. Someone up there must be capable of thinking things
through.
We
must ensure the proper functioning of our own society. We have to do
this at the same time that we are dealing with the problem of the
Islamists.
We are our most important problem to fix before we march
into the future. Primarily because when this war against the Islamist
Jihadists is won if we do not get our own act together we will be no
better off.
We would still have a broken system here with the same
personal problems at home. I know we are told that the war against
the terrorists is the most important event that has ever faced us. I
will guarantee you that once again they are wrong.
The most important
battle is cleaning up the collective improprieties right here at
home. For without fixing our own enormous problems we will have won
nothing but a little time. Let us think first and remember Rome.
This
decadence has to stop. It has been the downfall of every single
society in world history that has managed to escape destruction in
war.
We
know we cannot go on this way. We have all suffered daily as a result
of someone’s immorality. These are extremely contentious times.
This lying and underhandedness is ruining us Politically,
Financially, and pervasively in every single aspect of our daily
life.
We
have hit the point in civilizations and the world’s evolution where
man is now in direct control of the survival of man and the planet.
That is a scary thought we are in serious trouble. Jane Goodal hit it
on the head when she said in regards to the gorilla habitats and the
planet that we made a terrible mess of things.
She was right and I
just can’t see man doing the right thing though I pray that we do.

There are so many factors here it's hard to explain. The first was with the start of the industrial revolution although I'm sure with an agrarian society we were stuck with the whims of nature. It was hard enough then just to survive and feed ourselves.
I think what we're seeing now is the result of efficiencies and greed. Once it took several dozen men to do a job where now a machine can do the same in a fraction of the time. That makes for wealthy owners and less for the rest of society. I pondered just such a though in college and can not see it getting better.
Another issue is the influx of a mix of cultures. Not that it's a bad thing but in the last twenty years folks from all over the world are landing here in large numbers. We have not had enough time to assimilate them into our systems.
And now starting with Bush you have a party now lead by extremists who would like nothing better than to tear out what little safety nets we have left. When a corporation became a person and money is now considered speech it's a recipe for disaster. And until those who have made it so begin to realize what damage it will do in the long run little will change but get worse.
You know Demeur it reminds me of our fight with the Indians when we took the US, thing is this is a big " enemy" and I do not see this ending in lifetimes.
They are not going to change and they do not want us around. They have hit the point where many of them want only their religion and lifestyle on the planet.
