Essay on The Future of Society

 

VARIOUS THOUGHTS ON AMERICANA

I’ll change subjects often so hang on and try to keep up. Here we go.

Had Bill Gates depended upon the government for funds for research and development of the personal computer he’d still be working out of his garage and the government would have confiscated his ideas for "the good of society."  Everyone today would have a personal computer and a cell phone at no cost, but strictly on the terms of the government as to content and freedom of expression. Absolutely no blogs allowed that do not glorify the Soviet Union of America.

To my communist cousin: If our economy is in such dire straits that Obama is forced to step in and confiscate the potential wealth of generations to come to bail it out, then how can it afford to simply give cell phones with 300 free minutes to the homeless? It used to be that feeding them was a priority. Now that there is plenty of food available, instead of a 5 pound bar of Velveeta cheese, they get cell phones. If that makes any socio-economic sense to anyone, I’d like to know how.

I’d like to know who gave Obama permission to “change” America. Oh, I know it was the “voters.” However, I’m trying to imagine the voter who would think voting for a man of such questionable background — a man who has long had, and still has, avowed Marxists and Communist terrorists for friends and confidants, whose long-time personal pastor is a race-baiting demagogue, and whose origin of birth no one knows for sure — was a really good idea. I’d like to know how many of those voters were paid by activist organization like Acorn to appear at the voting booths, and how many of them were actually qualified and properly registered to vote.   And I don’t think I would be too off the mark if I said that most of the officials working as counters and voting machine technicians are paid activists from Acorn and other communist organizations.  What chance does America have for a nice clean election anymore? Don’t answer, the question was merely rhetorical. There is, of course, no chance.

Although I’m normally a pretty positive person, I sense the decline of America as a superpower and as a beacon of opportunity and prosperity for all who seek it (and a paradise for those who have lost their focus and have decided to just zone out of society).   I also sense, correction, I know — that this is not a good or desirable thing. As long as America remained morally and militarily strong, the world had a chance of some semblance of stability and absence of all-out global chaos. We, along with our allies were able to staunch the hemorrhaging and unraveling of the Middle East and the Balkans — at least for the time being. Now, the 50 year period of tenuous peace between the Koreas is beginning to come undone unless the requisite blackmail monies are paid to North Korea. By the way, that bribe can only be paid if we print more funny money. And, if paid, guarantees absolutely nothing. I see daily where American business is in decline and will soon be non-existent as we continue to obey and follow Obama’s economic plans. I recently had a chance to drive through Detroit after an absence of 50 years. I cried. It is a pitiful ghost of its former self. Detroit and New Orleans are harbingers of the future of America. Higher and higher taxes are lurking in the background waiting only for the 2010 elections to confirm a majority in Congress. Then the economic mudslide will become painfully evident even to those who heralded in Obama’s “change.” The trillions of dollars designated for bail-outs will disappear down a rat hole, just like all government monies do. After all, it isn’t their money, they didn’t produce one penny of it. It’s all money that we Americans have had confiscated from us at gun-point, as if the government were legal pirates. It’s now their booty and they will do with it as they damn well please.  Complain and they'll just take a bigger slice of your income.

Why don't the Pro Death (choice) people get their petitions up to amend the Constitution and go for it? Let's amend the Constitution to give women the Constitutional right to slay their unborn children. That way, there can be no question of the legality or morality of this unspeakable act. I think I know the reason they don't seek an amendment, and it’s because they know the majority of Americans would never agree to it. The illegal and amoral action taken by our own Supreme Court to legalize abortions won't be the last absurd action that will rip the fabric of our society to shreds.  Today, the concept of economic equality (justice) has been officially affirmed by Obama.  When the only criterion for moral values is the concept of “the greater good", and as long as people believe that whatever action you take — if it is for “the good of society,” then anything goes. The idea that something is “good” or “evil” no longer matters. Once you buy into the notion of “the greater good” you don't have to worry if what you do is evil (on demand abortion, confiscatory taxes, forced inferior health care, etc.), because you are now freed from that guilt. You merely have to convince yourself that it's for “the good of society." I shudder to think that my children and grandchildren have this amoral, atheistic Utopian society to look forward to.

Fear this: the only good program ever run by the government is the military. That is because the government has total control over it and because it is manned by those who agree to obey its necessary and sometimes stringent rules and regulations. Once you sign up, you have virtually signed your life away. Disobedience is not tolerated. The concept of individuality is not tolerated either. Any disobedience is dealt with swiftly and harshly. As long as you tow the mark and you make those senior to you look good, you will be accepted into the inner circle and promoted to higher and higher positions of authority. If you decide that the military life stinks, you will suffer the scorn and intolerance of the military society from which you cannot escape without fear of financial ruin and imprisonment. The military is a society in and of itself. For the most part, the military person is happy and content to be told what to do and to follow a strict regimen of life. This attitude is what makes our military so outstanding and so powerful. So why do I say to fear this? Suppose the commander-in-chief decides that if the government can run the military so well, why not use the same concept and put society under similar rules and regulations? Preposterous you say? Remember well what I said about “the greater good” concept of Obama and his followers. He has enough people in places of power today to do exactly that. And he has the military to back him up. They will have no choice but to rebel (maybe that’s a good thing). North Korea, Cuba, several South American countries (Argentina as the prime example), and many African countries have assumed this very structure of government. It is wonderful for those in control; a nightmare for those under their control. Don’t underestimate the power of “the greater good” standard of morality. It is, after all, the only moral standard by which liberals judge the value of things, and there too many morons out there willing to sacrifice themselves for that belief. Obama has publically displayed his extreme narcissistic side. He is blindly adored by a majority of citizens and members of Congress. What’s to stop him?
 
If we don't put a stop to the Judicial Branch of government, we will soon lose our identity, our dignity, and our freedom.  The activists judges are now in control of courts at all levels, a feat that was stealthily and purposely achieved to facilitate the absolute control of society.  Today's blog home page features, the female judge that Obama has on the top of his short list of candidates for Supreme Court, slipping up and matter-of-factly stating that "...it is in the appeals courts that policy is made."  Then backs down and says, "oops, I wasn't supposed to say that in public, but we all know it's true."  These judges are so confident and arrogant in their status that they fear no one.  I say it's time to way past the time to make ourselves heard and demand that the powers to legislate from the bench be stripped permanently from them.  If not now, when?

Warning to all Americans!

 

It is apparent that Congress and our President and all his crooked cabinet folks believe that it is the rich who have caused and will continue to create more poverty in this country by virtue of the rich owing too much of the available money. This is a ludicrous idea at best, yet it is this thought that liberals base their economic theories on. They would have you believe that the economy is not a living thriving enterprise, but an inanimate, static thing like a pizza pie for instance. The pizza is finite and can only be split up in so many ways. If the rich have most of the slices, and those are large slices, then only a small portion is left for the rest of us. On its face this concept is utterly laughable, yet so-called intelligent and educated liberals seriously believe that in order to cure poverty is to confiscate the pizza then cut it into equal slices so that no one person gets more than the other.

The idea of the economy being something that can be equally divided among the people shows that ignorance about how a free market system works is alive and well among, not only the population in general, but its glaringly evident among our elected officials as well. The fact that most people do not understand a free market economy should not come as a surprise to anyone since this knowledge is purposely not taught in government schools. If it were, there would be little doubt in the minds of the public what a sham the government is perpetrating on them. It is infinitely easier to control an ignorant citizenry than an informed and educated one. 

For the last fifty years, maybe even more, our elementary, middle, and high schools have been the playground of liberal socialists. Our colleges and universities are producing scholars who have been steeped in Marxist theories of economics from kindergarten to the highest degrees of education. To expect America to turn around and understand the free market system in one or two elections is a pipe dream. We won’t wake up from this nightmare until we march in the streets, until we inundate our Representatives and Senators with letters of indignation and shame them into waking up to what is going on.

The recent peaceful Tea Party demonstrations caused the Homeland Security Czar, Janet Napolitano (little Napoleon) to create a supposedly secret document ("Right Wing Extremism:  Current Economic and Political Climate Fueling Resurgence in Radicalization and Recruitment.") defining Right Wing Extremists as domestic terrorists, then goes on to describe everyday Americans who took time from their jobs to protest Obama’s tax and spend policies as Extremists. Further, she warned that soldiers returning from the war zones should be watched closely lest they turn their knowledge of warfare on the government. This labeling of honest-to-God law-abiding Americans as terrorists, warning all levels of law enforcement officials to keep an eye on them, is a slap in the face to all of us. No such warning has been issued from her office about what might happen when the inmates at Guantanamo Bay are released within the next year. Not one word about Islam radicals and the Mosques and Madrassas in our own cities and neighborhoods actively teaching young boys and girls that all non-believers must convert or die.

To those active duty armed forces personnel and to all veterans, if you love your country, you will not be taken in by Obama’s recent and unexplained schmoozing of the military. Liberals hate the military and all it stands for except when it can be used to their advantage. He is up to something and I’m afraid, that in the paranoid state liberals are in today, he’s planning to use the military to discourage more large scale demonstrations against his policies. Go ahead, call me the paranoid one, but I’ve been preaching it would come to this for years. I’ve been sounding the warning that we are frogs in a pot of water that is gradually warming. No one listened so here we are, the water is about to come to a boil and people still aren’t listening.  

If you think it ends with Obama being voted out, you are sadly mistaken. Obama is not going to be voted out because there are too many of you who do not actively participate in your government. And even by some miracle, he is voted out, nothing much changes until you realize and make it be known on the Hill that this country does not belong to the government.  We are their masters, not the other way round. Once they control the economy, they control us.  Get off your asses and get involved before you find yourself part of a one-world government being ruled by people who don’t even speak your language.

WHAT'S THE JOB "SAVED" COUNT?

 Every day, we hear the terrible news about job losses in the private sector, which after all the billions of dollars down a rat hole, are greater than ever today.  But, how come we never hear the good news about government jobs?  Those jobs are not only being "saved",  they are growing by leaps and bounds.  Of course -- and this is only my opinion -- the more people who work for the "boss",  the less resistance he is likely to encounter.  After all, their paychecks rely on his good graces.

Watch Hugo Chavez in Venezuela if you need a thermometer to see which dicrection this country is going to take in the future.  Especially, observe how they are succeeding in squelching the news media and talk show programs.  Obama's minions are taking their cues from Chavez to see how to proceed against such outspoken conservative luminaries as Rush Limbaugh.

Let's see if the full force of Obama's government can silence Limbaugh.  If they succeed, I'd be packing your bags if I were you!

God Help America

I've been watching this serpent we have in the White House, listening to him talk with a double tongue while he flashes his Miss America smile.  While talking to liberals he says that government spending is the only way we can save the economy, and the next day, to a conservative group, he's talking about how it's the hard-working people who make this country work, who will save the economy.  This man is a snake oil salesman and will say and do whatever it takes to get his way; anything to push his agenda forward.  Apparently, most folks are simply too ignorant to know when they are being schmoozed and bamboozled.  There's an old saying, "In the world of the blind, the one-eyed man is king."  I think that could be translated: "In the world of the government educated, the educated man is king."

In just a few days “The One” has shown that he will indeed "change" America just as he promised he would.  This situation reminds me of my grandmother who used to tell me..."be careful of what you wish for, you just might get it."  People wanted “change” and change is what they are going to get.  However, I don’t believe they ever really knew what that “change” would be, and now, to their sorrow, they are going to find out.  Most Americans are ready for the socialist direction that Obama, Pelosi, and Reid’s congress are determined to take this country.

Obama and his congress are purposely painting a dark and gloomy picture that doesn't exist now, but they are sure to create.  So why is the sky falling? Obviously, it isn’t, but in order to keep everyone’s attention away from the real agenda, Obama is saying, “watch this hand everyone.”

The majority in congress and our president are all socialists.  Bipartisanship is the furthest thing from their minds.  Comically, they would be offended if you called them what they really are.  Anyway, I believe we are headed hell-bent to changing the name of this country to the National Socialist Union of America.  Their dream of equality and fairness comes true when they are able to mug the “haves” and give it the “have-nots”, that way we’ll all be equally miserable. Forget about singing "God Bless America."  We ought to be singing "God Help America."

A "NeoCon" strikes back

   Though George Washington did warn Congress against becoming entangled in foreign affairs, I'm certain he never envisioned the world as it exists today.  And though I myself have only scant knowledge about such matters, it is abundantly clear that whether we like it or not, we are embroiled in the affairs of the world.

   The only question we as a country must address is this:  Are we going to present a united front against those who would destroy us or are we going to become, as Lincoln feared,  a house divided falling, falling apart like a deck of cards?  Today the 'house' is in the process of falling.  In doubt?  Look at the process of multiculturalism going on right under our noses.  What a nice, fuzzy, warm sounding word--multiculturalism.  What it really means is that each culture is separate in the manner of the European nation-states.  No more melting pot, no more Americanism.  America's birth;  our struggle and achievements to become the most powerful, the most enlightened country on earth are given short shrift by multiculturalist educators.  We are becoming a nation of individual cards, each with their own agenda.  In this manner liberalism will accomplish at least one of its goals.  To divide and conquer.

   I am sick and tired of being called a Neo-Con by ignorant, uninformed, brain-dead young liberals whose communist agenda fits right into Osama Bin Laden's plan to bring America down; to destroy us as a civilization.  It takes a moron to use an oxymoron (New Conservative) to describe someone who doesn't believe in their liberal ideology, or more correctly, their religion.  There is no "new" conservatism, because it's the same as it was in 1775 when we declared our independence from the English King.  If you listen closely to today's liberals, then listen to Bin Laden's plans for us, you will see the parallels in their agendas.  If being a Neo-Con means that I believe our country is deep into a vicious struggle for survival from at least two sides (The Fascism of radical Islam and the Communism of today's liberals), then yes, I am a Neo-Con.  We fight not only for ourselves, for if we fail, the entire world will be subjected to a new and terrible Dark Age from which we may never overcome.  The fact is, no one really knows what a Neo-Con is.  It is a made-up word copied from the word Neo-Nazi, meant to stigmatize conservatives as Nazis. 

   The problem with that is, it is liberalism that most resembles the Nazi government of Hitler's Germany.  It is the liberals who are intolerant of anyone who doesn't see them as the new world order.  It is liberals who desire government control of medical care, transportation, housing, education, etc.  on a national level.  You see, Nazism is German for Nationalism.  Unlike Communism, Nazi fascists do not desire to own big corporations, only to control them.  They believe that they know what is best for business and the people.  They hate the free market system of Capitalism because it means that they are not in control of the country and its people.  Liberals believe that people are not intelligent enough to have freedom and liberty, so these things must be limited in order to maintain their control of society.

   To live in the world of today's liberal mind is to slap on a set of blinders that will shield you from realism, and channel your vision to a Utopian world of peace at any cost.  In Utopia, you have no decisions to make, the government makes them for you.  In order to achieve this lofty idealistic goal you believe that no matter how irrational and illogical the argument, if it furthers the cause, it is good.  When I hear, "Bush stole the election." I know  there is not one shred of truth to that statement, yet, because repeating the lie disrupts the election process and creates disharmony among the people, it is taken as gospel by many of our government educated youth, the product of a failed nationalized education system.  They've been brainwashed into believing that America is too rich, too powerful, and too arrogant.  Liberal educators have fed our youth a steady diet of socialist propaganda to the point that they are so besotted with liberalism they cannot make a logical decision on their own.

   No matter how vicious and barbaric the enemy, liberals naively believe they can have a 'dialogue' with them (unless of course, their enemy happens to be conservatives, George Bush or the evil "corporate giants."  What blatant hypocrisy!)  You liberals believe you can persuade these sociopaths called Muslim Jehadists with logic and understanding.  If that doesn't work, to save yourselves, you will placate them  with train-car-loads of money and material things straight from the pockets of the evil rich that you detest.  War to you is immoral, a situation to be avoided at all costs including not only your freedoms and liberties, but  those of the rest of the industrial nations as well.  You will gladly drag us all down into your self-made pit of surrender and abject indignity. 

   It is imperative for liberals to bring down the evil "corporate giants" and the evil Christian-infested government of George Bush.  Straight out of the Communist Manifesto and the writings of Marx; the evil greedy rich people of the world must be brought down to the level of the masses.  There must be an equality of outcome, equality of income, equality of health care and of housing.  The public must have free transportation, free food.  We must have Utopia at all costs.  And in accordance with Gramsci's (another socialist), Theory of Hegemony, the liberals have infiltrated the traditional institutions that once made our country great.  Education at all levels, health care, the entertainment industry (which now includes the news media), and government, especially the Judicial Branch, and yes, even the Pentagon.  Creeping liberalism is in the process of taking over Congress and unless we shine the light on these insidious activities and stop this nonsense, we are going to lose our beloved country.

   When I hear the drivel of young liberals today parroting words like:  "Bush lied, people died."  I can only shake my head in sorrow.  No, you thick-headed cretins, Bin Laden brought down the Twin Towers, attacked the Pentagon, and caused the crash of Flight 93, and innocent people died.  The fact that Bush used every avenue available to him for over six months to placate Saddam Hussein, then clearly gave him an ultimatum to no avail means nothing to liberals.  The fact that all but one or two individuals in the U.S. Congress and the UN believed he had weapons of mass destruction, that he had used them on his own people, that he was supporting the families of suicide bombers, and that he would most likely be the one to provide these weapons to more people just like those who brought such terrible destruction to New York City--those particular facts mean nothing to today's young liberals.  They only know, "Bush lied, people died."  When they hear their mantras, like Pavlov's dogs, they react without thinking.  No conscious effort to establish the facts, just an irrational belief in empty platitudes and mottoes. 

   Today we have two factions in this country.  The conservatives that liberals love to call neo-cons, and the liberals.  (Notice, they don't call themselves neo-libs.)  The mutual respect the two had until Roosevelt's socialism "rescued" the country...the respect that made this country great, has died.  Today, the republicans and democrats are in a mighty struggle for the control of the hearts and minds of the American people.  One party stands for justice and liberty for all, the other means to wrest control of the government from the people by any means necessary.  They will never give up that dream.  I mourn for my country.

   I am afraid for my country because todays liberals, these ignorant, easily led, pseudo-intellectual numbskulls, who have no stake in the continuing prosperity and freedom of America, whose only real interest is a life of government-provided benefits assuring their ease and comfort, without the effort to attain it...I'm scared because these people get to vote in our local and national elections.  I am a conservative American and  I believe in the rights of the individual so I cannot lawfully stop them, nor do I intend to forcefully impede their rights.  I can only stand by helplessly as they bring the greatest nation ever to exist in the history of mankind to its knees.

Jimmy Carter is Typical Liberal AirHead.

Rather than think about the problem in a logical manner, he believes his feelings are all that matters.  If it makes him feel good to talk to the devil himself, he'll do it without thinking of the consequences.  He is living proof that liberalism is a mental disorder.  He continues to believe that Hamas will be honorable and willing to negotiate in an honest and forthright manner, even though they have demonstrated time and again they have no such intentions.  This is the classic definition of insanity.

 

These people understand that Carter is nothing more than a useful idiot and are using him like a rented mule.  The distressing part of all this --- there are people out there who actually believe Carter is a wise man who can bring peace to the world.  Nothing could be further from the truth.  He is encouraging these animals to continue to fight because they see America as weak so long as we can be tricked into negotiating.  They must be beaten in battle and they must be forced to cry UNCLE!  That is how we gain their respect and obedience.  Anything else is whistling past the graveyard.

Communists threaten Home Schooling

     Recently, an appellate court in California actually ruled that parents do not have the right to home school their children, because the purpose of education is to "teach children to be good citizens and to be loyal to the state."  This is right out of the little Red Book of Communism that chairman Mao Tse Tsung issued to all good Communist Chinese back in the 60's.  When communists talk about the "state" they aren't talking about the individual states, they are talking about the country in general.  All the while I've been screaming about how communism is infiltrating our government...people are thinking I'm over-exaggerating.  It's no joke; Communists have almost completed their conquest in this country.   At least they've conquered California.  The rest of the country usually follows their lead within a year or two.

 

I think that children who are being home schooled in the middle grades today are going to represent a future threat to their country because they actually have an education.  Public school students receive an indoctrination in lieu of an education, thus they will be "good citizens who are loyal to the state."  The public school graduates (if they even graduate) will be the future voters who are brainwashed into thinking big business is evil, rich people are greedy, the country was stolen from the Indians, God is irrelevant, religion is the cause of all our problems, and if they are loyal to the state, big government has the answers to all their problems. 

 

The dropout rate in this country has turned into a landslide.  Cities like Baltimore, DC, Detroit, and Cleveland (all run by liberals) have a drop out rate of over 50 percent!!  This is unheard of and is criminal neglect as far as I'm concerned.  The teacher's unions have failed the children of this country and should be brought up on charges of dereliction of duty and misappropriation and/or embezzlement of government funds.  We know this isn't going to happen.  They'll keep claiming it's because there aren't enough funds, not enough schools or teachers are not getting paid enough and the problem will only get worse the more money we throw at it. 

 

Communists are afraid of home schooling because they know these students (approximately 1.1 million of them today) will not accept their lies and their attempts to chip away at our freedoms and liberties.  If they can outlaw home shooling, religious and charter schools are next.  The California ruling is downright frightening to freedom loving Americans like myself.  The time is now.  We cannot wait any longer.  We must let our governors, our Senators, and our Representatives know that enough is enough.  The present system of education is broken and cannot be fixed with money.  It is time to dismantle the teacher’s unions and return the responsibilities of education our children to the respective states.

 

The drop out rate is a hemorrhage that must be staunched.  The longer we wait the more damage we do to our society.  Wake up Congress!  Do the right thing.  Don't allow the teacher's unions to dictate how our children will be educated.  Mr. President, save our children and bring down those teacher's unions...today!

Tolerance

TOLERANCE

 

    Both Democrat and Republican parties have taken a dangerous turn to the left with their liberal, progressive, or moderate (whichever term you like to use) outlook on domestic and international affairs. This naive attitude of love your fellow man is not only foolish, it is impossible. When it comes to love, you can only love what you know. To expect me to love someone I’ve never met, who may be harboring murderous thoughts, who has professed to hate me for who I am, is ridiculous.

    The French Revolution showed clearly that the concept of the Brotherhood of Man just doesn’t work. Belief in the old Beatles song, “Love is All We Need” is just plain silly. The best we can hope for is tolerance of each other. To think that one can transfer the love one feels for family members to the entire world is not only dangerous, it is preposterous.

    In today’s society, liberals show their “love” of their fellow man by trying to shut them up every time they say something that doesn’t suit their idea of the perfect society. Political correctness is the essence of their love. Instead, if they had tolerance for those who they don’t agree with things would go a lot smoother.

    In Nazi Germany, back in the 30s and 40s, Hitler carried intolerance to the next step. He exterminated those who did not fit into his idea of the perfect society. His concept of love was distinctly different than most. We see his example of love being carried out in the present by fundamentalist Islam.

    Societies work together best when they tolerate each other’s differences. America became the richest most powerful country on the planet, not from loving our neighbors, but from tolerating the diverse ethnicities in our society. We believed in the “melting pot” theory where aliens pledged their allegiance to our country and kept their way of life to themselves. No one asked them to love Americans. We all tolerated each other. We all got along. It was only when intolerance reared its ugly head that civil rights became a problem.

    To those of us who remember the Reverend Moon, the Korean charismatic who preached world love, we saw the absurdity of this love nonsense with his mass weddings. He would randomly pick from his congregation single men and women and have a mass wedding on the spot. Unbelievably, this is how most liberals view the entire world; that we can just as easily love one another on a mass scale.

    Liberalism can’t work; it doesn’t, never has, and never will. It is based on lies rather than on any set of beliefs with solid moral foundations. It’s a lie that we must all “love one another.” It’s a lie that there are no differences between the sexes, that there should be economic equality, and that all people are equally intelligent, therefore, all should have equal access to higher education.

    Instead of tolerating the differences in people, liberals insist upon society being lumped together and bringing everyone down to one level of equal misery. Such is their concept of love of the poor and intolerance of the rich.

    I don’t love that fat person in front of me at the grocery checkout who is making me wait while she checks out a whole cart full of groceries, and pays with a government food card. I don’t hate that person when I check out my package of hotdogs and can of beans, and pay with my hard earned cash. I don’t hate that fat person as I watch her unload her booty into a new Lexus while I crank up my old beat-up Ford pickup. I can’t love her, but I can tolerate her until I can work my way up the pay scale.

    So don’t insult my intelligence and tell me I must love mankind. And don’t tell me it’s the Christian thing to do because that is just another myth handed down from Reformation times. I give you “...in my father’s house there are many mansions.” He didn’t say there was room for all in one big house. Moreover, Jesus didn’t say we had to love those who hate us, in fact his advice, if I correctly remember, was to shake the dust off your heels and split the scene.

    Is love going to solve our domestic and global social problems? I can’t see that happening in this century, but I can predict that tolerance is much more desirable than hatred. Tolerance doesn’t mean a show of weakness, merely giving in to those who try to push us around, but reasonably putting up with people may be the only common sense solution for now. Maybe, just maybe, far into our future we will have mellowed out and learned to love one another after generations of tolerating each other.
