We know emphatically that every tiny building block of life and life’s sustaining elements are programmed to perform specific tasks at particular times and to behave in specified manners.

We also know life and its recycling and renewing cycle is inevitable. Seasons are going to come and go. Every creature shall enjoy the life cycle it has, do what it is supposed to do, age, and grow wiser until it reaches the maturity time to be transformed into a different life form.

We learn what to use for medicine and what to use for nourishment from life’s visual illustrations and demonstrations. We learn how to survive, keep going and experience all of what life has to offer. Gradually we grow, spiritually, emotionally, intellectually and physically.

When we reach sexual maturity we begin to search for a mate. If we are successful in our pursuit, we produce offspring and by the forces of life deep in our subconscious, we are supposed to teach all of what we have learned to our offspring. This is true for all creatures large and small.

It is also true that when any creature neglects to share life’s experiences and its wisdom with their offspring they become extinct and vanish from the face of the Earth.

What makes this fact of life interesting is that no other creature has ever voluntarily chosen to become extinct by not teaching its gained knowledge to its own offspring.

To make matters worse is our dim-witted and constant religious tribal wars in promoting our special way of ignorance and foolishness!

As human beings, we are claiming to be smarter than all other creatures, yet voluntarily and willingly, we have chosen to raise our offspring as dumb as possible so we can exploit them later in life as brainwashed consumers!

We take away our offspring’s imagination and creativity by teaching them lies, mythical nonexistence life forms according to religion. We lie to our offspring by replacing true facts of life with religious superstitious gibberish thereby distorting the reality of life and setting ourselves on the absolute path of extinction.

Misrepresentation of life in general, will and has already brought us many times close to the complete annihilation of not only the human race but also of almost all other inhabitants of our home, Planet Earth. That is where our stupidity begins to come alive.

One could argue that religion stems from our prehistoric reptilian nature. This primitive characteristic has encouraged humans to band together in small tribal groups or gangs to protect themselves against other gangs and their territories. Obviously when the concept of - - power is in numbers - - was understood by early humans, gang mentality began to flourish then was supported and reinforced by the power hungry tribal chiefs to annex territories and rob others. Mullahs of three (3) Adam & Eve based religions currently are and have been using fear and gang mentality to achieve their goals.

As we evolved, we learned in life what type of food we needed to eat. For example when we lived in the Kalahari Desert in Africa, somewhere in the neighborhood of 75,000 years ago, we watched the lion and the leopard hunt and learned as carnivores, the best and right type of meat to eat, which is from herbivore creatures.

From our sense of curiosity we gathered berries, nuts, fruits and vegetables. By trial and error we learned what to do with them. Subconsciously, we knew the type of food suitable for our digestive system.

Gradually as our senses and abilities have sharpened we learned how to refine our nourishment and developed the art of cooking. Steadily we learned all of what we know today and are where we are by experiencing millions of years of evolution, which has transformed us from creature to creature learning and taking that wisdom with us to become who we are today.

The point I am trying to make is that due to the natural law of evolution and improvement, in every department of life we have evolved to learn and to do better with the exception of two. The first one being to find an acceptable definition of who we are, where we come from and where we are going. The second is to establish a direct link between our imagination and reality.

What I mean is, we have the tendency to come up with imaginary answers to problems to which we have no solution. Even today, in a variety of different sciences, molecular biology to quantum physics, there are many theoretical solutions, which as of yet, have not been proven.

Thankfully, these researchers and scientists have not formed crusading armies to attack one another and each other's country to force the opposing group of scientists to accept their theoretical solution at gun point.

Definition of Spirituality:
To be spiritual is to relate to what encompasses the nature of spirit, although spirituality is not and never has been tangible or formed by any material. It is the concern with the theoretical source of life and how it affects the unknowns, such as death, and if there is an after-life of some sort. Spirituality is composed of a need to relate to higher sources of all life and community. Since spirituality is also a theoretical science, which shall remain uncertain, would it not make more sense to argue and research for to find a common solution rather than destroy and kill humankind (Womankind And Mankind) in search of a resolution?

We are far from flawless, even in this day and age of the twenty-first (21) century. Due to the natural laws of evolution and improvement, every few years we learn that some or all of what we thought we knew in a variety of different sciences such as medicine, astronomy, physics, biology and more, needs to be modified or changed all together.

This natural law of evolution and improvement must be applied to everything. In the pursuit of our reptilian, gang mentality of theoretical spiritual science, we are effectively denying our offspring the knowledge and wisdom available today by replacing our known knowledge with dogmatic religious doctrines. We would be better off focusing on building a better tomorrow and searching for what remains yet unknown to humankind (Womankind And Mankind).

For the past forty (40) years ever since the Civil Rights Act of 1964, civil rights movements, representing the American people, demanded more freedom, better education and dignified life. Astonishingly we all have been fooled and the opposite is true.

Through hundreds of different studies including so-called blue ribbon commissions, we now know what is the best form of education and the best way to raise our children to become effective, productive, responsible members of society.

These so-called blue ribbon commissions did not discover anything that we did not already know forty years ago. The goal was to prevent another movement similar to the Civil Rights movement to ever happen again. In order to reach that goal, they had to effectively segregate and create three (3) different types of schools; private, expensive schools for the elite super-rich, mediocre public schools for the middle-class and broken-down inner-city schools for the poor, who had been just given equal rights to the rest of society. Hollywood was employed to turn high school into a joke of educational institution and college into a brothel of drinking and sex.

These activities are openly tolerated and encouraged from the Ivy League schools to community colleges. Cheating and buying exam papers became fashionable and everybody learned how to go to college, get a degree, get a job, even if they have to, steal, cheat and do whatever they can under the name of - - it’s just business, nothing personal - - to enrich themselves and their fraternity buddies.

Forty years ago, the Department of Education and those in charge knew that gigantic big high schools housing thousands of students was not the way to go since it lead to disaster, violence and poorly educated graduating students. It was known then that a small school with maximum a couple of hundred students in the local community is the proper way to educate.

As I mentioned, anybody who has watched a nature program on television knows that the best form of education for your offspring is one-on-one. From the bear to the lion, the wolf and the elephant, they all chip in, work together, and raise their young teaching them everything they know. We however, send our young kids to a classroom of eighty students to be taught by a teacher that makes less money than a construction worker, sanitation worker and police officer. In other words, teachers earn a bottom of the barrel salary.

The textbooks given to our children are written by a bunch of corporate individuals seeking profit over education, with no clue of what they are doing instead of caring teachers. The textbooks are given to another greedy private group of publishers, to print and distribute throughout the school districts.

Most parents are hardly involved in their kids education and the only time they realize that their children are not learning anything or are in trouble is when something goes wrong, such as a school shooting, or when their children get arrested for dealing or using drugs.

Hollywood’s contribution to the world’s social and educational degradation should not be taken lightly. We have managed through the irresponsible efforts of brainless show business to dumb-iffy the public and particularly our children by glorifying and celebrating psychotic violent behavior from Mafia to War, Gang Violence, Gang Mentality and Gang Hazing.

As a result of glorified violence, children prefer to build muscle, become rough and tough and are busy sticking a broomstick up those children’s butts who cannot defend themselves, instead of spending time in the library. What does anybody think would become of the graduates of such a system? How will they perceive life coming out of such a crappy idiotic educational system?

This is another one of those deliberate bad decisions made by the authorities, business and government, to make sure there is enough of a dumb work force for assembly lines and service industry needs in the US, while the technical and scientific jobs are shipped to India and China. I have no problem with sharing information, enriching other cultures such as India and China, on a social, economical and industrial basis. However, it should not be done at the expense of other cultures and people.

As if that wasn’t enough, our ill-advised government allows unhealthy, poisonous, greasy, foods to creep into schools and to be sold to the children. So now, on top of illiteracy and stupidity, obesity is another added benefit of the US public education system.

Since forty years ago, government officials and institutions have been under intense attack to deregulate and relax their regulatory laws, privatizing and effectively accepting bribes. I am sorry did I say bribe? I meant, political contributions.

Completely in the pocket of special interests, the job of our so-called Representatives is to sign legislations written by lobbyists working for those special interests who pay for their election and at the end put the stamp of approval on any anti-human profit-seeking piece of legislation that flies across their desks, allowing those special interests to take us to where we are today.

The United States, hopelessly in debt, has 725 military bases around the world to protect American businesses located in the region.

The United States Armed Forces are there to protect big businesses and help them to dominate and colonize under the banner of Globalization and World Trade Organization to import and impose corporate democracy to the people of the region.

The people of these regions have no electricity, telephone, clean water or a roof over their head because the government appointed by Chevron, Mobile-Exxon does not allow people to take root and build societies.

The risk is that if they take root and build societies, the people will demand social services, which require revenue, which means less money for the corporate goons in charge running these so-called developing countries.
