Is that a copy and paste? If not well done. Kind of sounds old timey.... I wonder how we fix the fact that our societal short term memory is so week? (that originally was a mistake, but the pun probably fits anyways...) Probably need everyone to read like 30 or so books on history to get up to speed. I know I am not...

Oh yes, belay the historian, for he can but merely delay the building entropy of the inevitable repetition of history. For no uniquely new mistakes are ever cast, only the recasting of the countlessly repeated mistakes sprinkled about history. For every other generation believes those before thy, were but fools, who possessed an instantaneous plus of dark dreary hearts projected upon all mankind. But in a instant, the all knowing generation of less than a score years, wakes to discover they stand accused of the vary crimes they so deeply held, only belonged to "that" generation before them.

Undoubtedly, google didn't find it for you. Sometime I get inspired.

Didn't George Orwell say something about this? He that controls the past - controls the future, and he that controls the present controls history. You are doomed to repeat history, because history is easily (and always) rewritten by those in control. Movements based largely on emotional reasoning, can also modify history, by slowly steering a segment of the population towards a new common reinterpretation of history. Through the desperate need to "belong". Orwell also said something about the world's energy largely being created from emotion (ie. emotion is powerful). Although, his experiences were based off the lessons of the Nazis. He blamed such movements on religion, a large personality, racism, or love of war. He obviously missed some, the need to "make a difference", change the world and find one's place and belong. New forms of religion, such as environmentalism.

Watch what is being taught to children. It's OK for the police to look through your stuff, and correspondence. Pollution is getting worse. Animals are human too. Impending doom, asteroids, the environment, energy running out, to financial melt down. They are rewriting history, and it will work. It's not that we forget, it's that we allow ourselves to be reprogrammed.

I'm just curious if anyone from either side can provide the top 5, no top 2 planks in the party of the candidate they are supporting and tell us if they support those planks and by what means? Here I'll provide you the links... Be prepared to give specifics.

I had not read the most recent and complete versions but am very much in tune with the overall Ideas. Read either of them and the verbage can lull you into aligning yourself with either one regardless of your personal belief system if you read them with out prejudice or prior experience. Remember the people that actually write these things are masters of their craft.

I chose to formulate my decision on voting histories when available and how a candidate responds to changing public opinion. I really have no time for the politician that changes their view or their explanation of their view mid stream. This leads me to believe that they are trying ONLY to get elected and not willing to own up to their actual plan. This is also tied to the reason that I don't have much love for either of the candidates as the both seem to refuse to actually explain exactly what their tax, economic, defense, immigration, and entitlement policies are.

Personally im not for the creation of a East/West Nation...The USA is not dividable imo and without a dought much stronger united during good and bad times.

As for hard working i have not been able to find a white guy willing to do hard labor for many years....I blame alot of the desire to work hard on the technology age......Kids/Adults are being trained to push buttons on there PC or play video all day and they have no desire or concept on working hard.

United we stand divided we fall.

The one consistant part of our history beginning from the creation of man is conflict.

We live on a globe of conflict folks, which into itself has become a econimic machine for many. Good, Bad or In-differant nations spend $Trillions& toward Technology to build BOMBS to kill and destroy humans. The globe as we know lives in fear of being destroyed by a nation(s) in conflict with one another. A military Bomb attached to a war aircraft cost each and ever tax payer of this country a hefty $,$$$$,$$$,000,000 and for what to kill and destroy the enemy and along the way kill the innocent to find the enemy ? If the world could find away to live without conflict the citizens of each nation could get a tax break IMAGINE THAT !!!!.....End the globes teaching of conflict to our chidren and perhaps someday the globe will not live in fear of one another.

We have the ability to bomb & destroy a town or city in minutes but can't provide basic needs to citizen of our own country.


Conflicts within a nations governament breed and harbor similar disconnection amoungst its own citizens. And folks all we have to do is open the front door and smell the stinch in our own air. Sad but true the USA has alway been in the middle of conflict across the globe & internally within it's own borders.... For many of us these tough times are a new experiance that many have never ever seen. However, these country has been in many "Bail Out", "Bottom Falling Outs" and down right enjoys walking toward the edge of the cliff......

The best society for our future and especially for our children and there children will be a society that lives without conflict. Conflict through out history has destroyed society after society after society.

If you lived 1000's of years ago and you were a sword builder you would want to build and sell a lot of swords.

United we stand divided we fall
