This economy may seem terrible now, and because of it, we have to live off of our personal savings. When that is gone, no job = no hope = no change = bum status. Now some people like me weren't given much going into this world.
I had to fend for myself from the age of 5 to 9 years old. My parents were irresponsible and out of control. They could barely control their own lives, so when it came to kids, they were a dismal failure. Unfortunately its a cycle, and most people are trying to climb out of a hole from day one, while some others were way up in the sky.
The only point i'm trying to make is, I was self-sufficient from a young age whenever my parents left me and my sister alone. I knew where to find the food stamps, and made store runs when we had nothing in the house.
All familiar images in my younger age, the cockroaches, the crack viles scattered throughout our school playground. The school gave up on me, putting me in a class that was for the more rowdy students.
-----------------
Okay anyway, lets fast forward to me now. I am 26 years old, I have two Associates degrees with enough credits equivalent to a bachelors degree. I went to school with financial aid paying in full for my studies.
Over the years i've picked up a lot of skills mostly dealing with computers. I have a knack at Math and programming. When it comes to electronics, i can personally say that i'm extremely intuitive.
What does all this mean exactly?
Absolutely nothing.
When you live in a society that analyzes you like a piece of meat, where you have to be broken down, fill out long applications, and break your ass to appeal to a recruiter/HR manager, then what it says to me is that people need a job more than the Job needs them. In the time we're living in, the hiring and firing of people just goes with the flow of business. If they can't make a reasonable profit from your hard work, then they would rather get rid of you than stay afloat, if it would save them a few bucks.
So whats my problem exactly?
Business is my problem. The exploitation and degrading of humans for the person gain of some person and their obsession with money. Now I can understand that people who are tired of working for the benefit of others want to start owning their own business, they go out there and make a name for themselves, but it's hard to feel sorry for any of these people. When they start hiring people to do the work for them, they become the boss/oppressor/lord etc.
We humans have the brainpower to think about extraordinary things and put things into action. We have beautiful buildings, we're deeply artistic (some more than others), and we love to dream (even let some others do some of our dreaming for us, from TV and games and such).
Now if we have this gift, why do we put ourselves in the robot position? Why do we settle for less when we can provide so much more. If our ideas could overflow beyond the suppressive reality which we are exposed to, could we not fly? Could we not all share our passions and hobbies amongst ourselves for most of our lives, stress free, without the worry of a work assignment to which we are trapped?
Yes we could. Ok, hard work is good for all of us, but why work so hard when machines can do most of it for you? Why sink ourselves to the levels of automatons when there are other options? Now you're going to tell me there are no options, right? Well i'll tell you that the idea of another option, if inherent in the majority of the population, is just the spark we need for it. The current system we are forced into has no will to let us start the flame, using all of its propaganda and hyperboles to fix us in a detrimental form of existence.
How does it feel to be a piece of meat that drowns itself in rhetoric from over 250 years ago, but cannot adhere to most of its principles when law is enforced. The law is an atrocious system of state oppression, for the state is responsible for maintaining an imbalance of rich and poor. Ask yourself; how often do we see rich people go to jail for anything? How often do poor people have to plead guilty to a crime they didn't commit, because the plea bargain deal is too good an offer than the penalty of taking up the courts time to fight your case. You cannot get more unfair than that.
I will admit, not proudly, that I am still poor. The mentality of desperate poverty still lingers inside me, and despite my family setting, I have never had more than $5,000 in my whole life. I usually have about $1,000 on average, and insurance usually takes their helping when I can't get a job to dig out of this hole. I have aspirations of being a great person, but i don't believe that money will give me the satisfaction that i'm looking for. I feel much happier seeing rich people go broke than if I got a $500 check in the mail.
When people horde their money, walk on red carpets and drive in limousines while children are fighting over a piece of bread, the appalling idea haunts me. My main goal in life is not to punish the rich, but rather to make life easier for everyone. If rich people will insist they need to have the illusion of wealth, then let them live in a region which will cater to their every needs. If they need to control, then let them control on a small scale. In today's world, we let them dominate us, abuse us with their money, in which there are mercenaries and hitmen out there that will sacrifice their souls for money. Women who give up their dignity to let their bodies be abused by men for money. Drugs is rampant because money controls it, and simply because of the penalty, those who operate in the shadows put higher demands on the willing buyers to make it a lucrative business. Stiffer penalties only exacerbate the controversy and price. That is one example of how people cannot control the corrupt nature of the drug game. For many, though the penalties still exist, they've given up trying to put an end to it. In fact, the government decided to expand their prison system for profit incentive, unknown by most of the public, you can actually purchase prison stocks which are very successful on the public trading of NYSE/NASDAQ. They pay these prisoners the equivalent of third world labor wages to make all kinds of stuff that most people don't want to do at a job.
All comes back to, why can't we work? We can't work because society no longer makes its decisions for itself, has let wealthy people decide who can and can't work. If nobody hires you, ways of life get scrambled, some people hit the pipe and some people give up on life. Why don't people convene together and at least attempt to pursue a different way of life? The idea hasn't rang anyones' bells because it hasn't been done in about 233 years.
Not to suggest that we adhere to a constitution, but we have the wisdom of 233 years of accumulated philosophies since the 'forefathers', it is understandable that a better life can be construed with anarchistic sentiment and focus on all the achievements of man, and the promise that we will propel ourselves faster without the limitations in which the state and its wealthy subjects have locked us into.

Our existence and our approach
"The important thing is to not stop questioning. Curiosity has its own reason for existing." Humans benefit the universe, we are of it, and we are its own way of understanding itself, its better not to be led astray from the purist thoughts, so that we may pursue the idea of perfection.. though perfection may be unachievable, if we continue to improve ourselves fast enough, we will have made it easier for those who carry on our donation to the nature of curiosity and thus our universe.
To carry on the torch of those who precede us is to become the new contributors of those to follow us. "The reason I am able to see so far is because i stand on the shoulders of giants."
We need to be able to sift through all of what we know, deduce the moral from immoral, the important ideas from the frothy ones, and build a personal understanding of who we are as an individual first. It is from here that we may apply the more popular and enlightening ideas to our first Artificial Intelligence. Since we have an empathic system, we sometimes get carried away with our own fantasy's. But if we are masters of creation, we should be investing more time into creating our own living fantasies.
Because we are so engaged in meaningless activities, such as playing games and seeking enjoyment from TV or computers, we never get to contribute groundbreaking ideas to our society. It is understandable that people retreat to their fantasies so often, for the state and states we live amongst impose pressures on us from many different angles. Money itself is a tool to manage us and our imaginations, like we are the herds to its cattle ranch. By believing in the value of metal disks or paper money as necessary, we give up our souls to the state. When we let the chaos run rampant, from one business to another, we realize more and more that human behavior has reduced itself to animal status... scavengers are related to scammers. People make a business of the dead like vultures. The one thing that makes humans different is that the inferiority complex which is inherent in some people enables them to abuse people with deception and dubious suggestions for the gullible to swallow.
With a tricky world out there, if you don't know how to fight back, you'll be eaten alive. Without money, nobody takes you seriously, and you would have to figure out a way to steal or obtain food without paying for it, as well as finding shelter without money.
People would call you a bum for doing this. For this people will call you incompetent and start rejecting you everywhere. The only difference is, your derelict attitude is due to your personal vendetta against the state and system.
I understand that some people don't want to degrade themselves to a loafer status, but then again, how do you play a part in changing our way of life so that we may not contribute to oppression, nor become an outcast?
My answer is, go into a job with a task in head, reach whatever level you need to, in order to corrupt it. Destroy vital materials needed for the business to thrive. As big businesses and corporations finger each other for espionage, you will have corrupted them enough to weaken them.
When big businesses are broken apart, it is up to the general population to become craftsmen, join each other for a more righteous cause. To make technology openly available for everyone.
Imagine everyone working for everyone elses benefit. And the more you work, the more status you gain in life. Food is free, and there is more time in life for the pleasures of life. Everyone can work anytime they wish for anyone they want to. Towns will establish assessment pools to analyze the production and effort involved with each system of its proprietary needs. The function of service is not for the benefit of a few self-appointed elites, but of the main center of focus in direct-democratic concerns. Does there need to be money for service to exist? I don't believe so, i think people work because they want to work, and donating more time for service will gain you more status. With more status, your personal opinion should hold more weight in town meetings. Power = hard work, and power also = community focus. Focus on goods for consumer purposes is decent enough. The idea of a future that benefits us all, things will be mass produced to the point that if one wishes to have something or many things, they shall.
If you want a 60inch flat screen television, then there will be an analysis of materials, the time it will take to build it, and a consensus on features and extra functions. Customized colors and images will be handled by an image/accessories dept. which will handle most of the towns' displays.
If the town cannot gain enough resources for the demand.. then the assessment center will provide the list of resources it needs for the assignment. Trade with other communities will exist to mutually benefit each other. If one group needs high performance silicon for a mass produced CPU project, the other community may offer something it needs for exchange. Obviously if only one side needed something from another community which has a surplus of goods, then it should be understood that 'giving' the resources should also be an idea to consider. The community that prides itself as superior and happiest, should be the community that has enough talent and can manipulate its resources with other materials that would serve the same purpose. The idea of a community that does not need to ask for materials is to be recognized as a higher achiever. The best way for this community to express itself would be to send out agents to educate other communities about new tricks of the trade and such.
When i talk about the future, i do so with such a euphoric attitude. I believe i am more closely related to the future than most people, because i think about the use of brilliant ideas each and every day. Amenities that will make our way of life so incredibly easy and pleasurable. What makes us different than animals, is that we can create extraordinary things. America is not great, but its people have the potential to rise beyond their potential. People all around the world, Africa, Asia, etc., all places which we see as states, they may not have the technology or the skills right now, but they also have special personal values that may act as a greater strength for them than people who live in the American region at the present. We all have our strengths and weaknesses...
Our weakness is our fear of change and cowardly ways when we see people of authority abuse its citizens. People of more importance (wealthy), work people to death.
Our strength is our talents to create. Our desire for a better world. Our ability to set good examples for others to follow.
Will our strengths overpower our weaknesses? Will we live in a world that was designed for us, or will we design the world we'd like to live in. With our breakthroughs in technology and education, we now have interesting decisions to make, and if we lack imagination, others will make those decisions for us.
We must make a stand if we want to become better than ourselves. Each step towards perfection is a way to evolve into our next stage. We are but a caterpillar trying to fly. A little bit of freedom is a little bit of tyranny... Freedom is an absolute, and when our will is hindered by authorities/propagandists who tell us we are free, we end up believing it after a while if we are weak. We must question everything and find out how to propel ourselves above and beyond.

Letter to Miss Ana
Im not sure about that Anita..
As far was the demographic thing is concerned, Islam is already the majority. People who call themselves christian usually don't practice their religion anyway. I think Agnosticism is going to be the majority belief in the years to come.
As far as muslims and their beliefs, obviously i'm with you. However, there are always the extremists out there who are left who kill women for stepping out of line, whose laws are a little too hostile and don't belong in this century. These peoples' dying wish is to see America out of the middle eastern region, so they can start running the show again. Obviously, most people in the middle east aren't going to let them run the show, most muslim people are opposed to extremism. It shouldn't be the responsibility of any country to dictate how they should run themselves, but as decent human beings, should maintain a presense when they are wanted.. once they aren't wanted, they should leave and not come back.
Like most people in any country, they probably don't know what is best for them, but even if they don't, its not up to others to decide for them. It is unethical to assume judgment and control them at your will. That is just trading one tyrant for another, regardless of their aim, the authority affirmation becomes an object of disgust for people who are faced with them every day.
The idea of the world becoming Islamic... I think i do have a problem with that. Not because I dislike the islamic way of life, i don't care how other people live. I personally don't want to feel like any religion is being forced on me, and if you observe history carefully, Islam was literally shoved down peoples throats for hundred of years, under penalty of death if one chooses to worship their own god or several gods, or no gods.
I think in today's world, people are semi-enlightened, and if they claim agnosticism or atheism, they cannot go wrong, unless they have a problem with their own moral code. Freedom seems to be the universal idea, which any uneducated person will fight to their last death for. The free will to empower yourself by learning any skill will make you culturally rich, and the more you know, the less you require dependency on any statehood, as they become more of an anchor on your soul.. the more the education, the more it becomes realized. To be truly free would be a true enemy of the state, simply by knowing better than the state would, the ideas contained in this temporial body are ideas that could conflict with business as usual, and that would be a No No. The more people know, the less and less power the states' and wealthy systems' could maintain. They'll fight for their last breath for limits on education, harder and longer work days, and more laws and enforcement. We need to recognize these methods of control, because the design is to step each person into a world in invisible chains. The will to live in a more perfect world is resonating around the world, i have hope for the future, but I recognize the sacrifices that would need to be met if we're to be in control of our own lives. It would be a blistering few years of agony and senseless atrocities, but when all the dust has settled, i'm confident it will be the righteous people to assume power over themselves. This might not happen any time soon, it might not ever happen. The only thing that may stop it is the nuclear apocolypse that destroys us all... Else, i think this conflict amongst people against their lords is inevitable. It might take a little while longer for people to wake up, but once they do, its going TO BE ON. I'm not actually hoping to see this happen, but realize that when it does, we need to play our roles the best we can.
