Humanity's Dark Side
For some I will get a great deal of push back on the comparisons I am about to draw. I really do not care, because the comparisons are apt.
When we set down a take a long look at our society today we have more questions than answers. It would seem to me that this era of time on this beautiful blue ball is facing a crisis of conscience. To get my understanding of how I see things I will use a basic premise. If you look out at the world and see all the different types of life on this planet. You have to begin to wonder how does life stay in such a balance. If you look at most if not all the animals they have a hierarchy, a leader. With Lions it is the strongest male, he then subjects the lesser males to pretty much do all of his bidding. He populates the Pride with strong progeny. If you look at the complex system of most prides of Lions you see they are somewhat in order. But you have foolish leaders in some Lion Prides as well and that can cause the total extinction of the Pride. If you look at other forms of life you see the same thing. Any animal collective has a leader and the animals follow them. That is until an elder of that animal collective steps in to help the leader change directions in which they go. Animals like humans have order and a classic set of rules that they follow.
When you go back and look at what took down one of the greatest civilizations "Rome" . You would see they had a strong leader, and an orderly civilization. But people in that Human Pride became restless, and wanted more. They drew the people of this great civilization to extinction. Why? Because you had more so called "want to be leaders", that in itself could not get enough. They craved power. The society fell apart in part to really shitty leadership. Rome had spread their armies to far from the Heart, and spent money like it was the most important thing in the world. Rome lost it's way because the people of that Pride failed to speak up and change the direction. We have more in common with animal societal structure than you think. A group of animals will work together to protect and feed and nurture their very existence. Humans on the other hand think of themselves as a higher order of life. To me it is Chaos that rules the day. We do not have good leadership, nor do we have the capacity to get ourselves out of this mess. Why? Because just like Rome we have taken our eyes off the prize, we fight over flags and gay marriage, and the amount of money the Government spends. But a Pride of lions will overthrow a shitty leader and we as humans just sit back and reelect the same idiots all over again. Animals will come together as a collective to defend and protect itself. But humans on the other hand will break themselves into little groups and nibble away at the hierarchy. Force beliefs onto each other and take away their rights as humans to stand for what is right.
The most dangerous animal on earth is Humanity itself. We come up with ungodly ways to destroy each other. But most of all we try and distance ourselves from any other life on this earth by believing we are the higher form of life. But we will never be a higher form of life because we spend most of our time thinking up ways to kill each other. So what, really makes us any different than any other animal? Nothing now. If you look back to the 1960's humanity had a quest and that quest was to reach the stars. Now that is what a higher life form would do. We innovated our way into a push bottom future. Now we have become stagnate and predictable. You cannot turn the corner without offending each other. Why? Because the Pride has no leader. Humans have splintered themselves into divisional societies and have become so divisive there is no common ground. And when the society falls we will destroy ourselves instead of protecting and nurturing each other.
Most of this will not make much sense to anyone, but if it does anything it should make you think. LIFE. When you wake in the morning and caress your wife and hold your children, and then that fear sets in. You ask yourself, what is going to become of my children's generation? Or my Grand children's generation. I will tell you this, if we do not resort to our animal instincts and change directions this grand experiment "Humanity" will fail. The Angels in Heaven were disappointed in the Creator because he showed Humans favor. And how have we repaid him is nothing short of "in your face we are better than you". With that attitude we will fail. The complexity of humanity is a long and storied history of big mistakes and even bigger mistakes. But we have the capacity to reel in the compassion and the greatness that was handed down to us by our creator. And if you do not believe in God then believe in humanity, we are capable of such beauty and love and compassion, but we are even more destructive than we should be. We need to find common ground and reach for the goal together. We need to stop pointing out all the differences and point out all the similarities.
So in my summary I can see the pride of Lions surviving horrible conditions and thrive. I have seen Lions take in enemies and animals that are considered food, and raise them as their own. So if Lions can do this, then humans can go one step further and come together and create a society where we depend on each other, and reach lofty goals. Those goals we were put here to reach in the first place. God created us in his own image, and to me that is an image of taking ourselves to reach that ultimate goal of being just like our creator. (Or why would he have created us in his open image?) Why?
Life is the ultimate gift, we need to cherish it, we need to embrace it. We do not have the right to end it.

Fed up in America
When I was a child growing up, I traveled to other countries, hell I was born in France. My father traveled a lot during my youth, and the one thing I could remember was coming home to a big beautiful country. Well tempered well educated, and just more than motivated to reach for the future. When I joined the Air Force, Ronald Reagan gave the Military a pay raise. It was the first one in years for service members. We were a strong powerful and well respected nation.
Flash forward to now. We are the joke of the world. We have become a nation of uneducated know it alls. Politically correct bunch of buffoons. And most of all broke and we have nothing to strive for. We lost our space program to pay for illegal immigration,and free medical care for that. And a President bowing to leaders of Arab Nations, and that same leader is apologizing for saving their asses. We have lost blood and treasure in a country that we should have never went to in the first place. And now we piss on the very service members who went there to fight.
We have succumb to tyranny by a court that was never elected to pass laws. We have been pissed on by our elected leaders who just want to be millionaires instead of representing the people. We have people running for President again who are lying just as the one in office did to get elected. We have become a divided nation because of that very leader. He strives to push that division. Our country has 90 million people out of work while the Government fudges the numbers to make things appear normal. And now we are fighting over a flag, while attacks on whites are not labeled hate crimes. Everything we do is somehow offensive to someone else. Face it you have given your life to the Government. And you have forgotten about God and Country. All you care about is fake racism and free money and blaming someone else for your failures. People who work are screwed and people who don't are rewarded.
WE HAVE BECOME ROME. WE WILL FALL. BECAUSE WE LACK THE WILL TO FIGHT LIKE OUR FOUNDING FATHERS DID.
PERIOD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The Confederate Flag and Pride
Those words today can get you fired from a job, labeled a racist, and you are considered full of hate against black people.
Of course this is all bunk. When I moved to Alabama 18 years ago I was skeptical of how much of this so called racism that entangles the south was true. Come to find out racism is kind of non existent here. In Alabama, that makes you scratch your head does it not? The people I have encountered in all of the southern states have been pleasant, People of all colors get along and work together.
Now consider this. The civil war was not really fought over slavery. It was fought over money. I know. Most of you will say that's not what they taught us is school. Well of course that did not teach you this. Why? Because there is a greater plan at work here.
But what most of you do not seem to get is that Lincoln wanted the southern ports. Why? Money. He used the tide of slavery as his rallying call,(even tho the Northern States also had slaves at this time) But that call for money that the President seen at this time was too much of a temptation. He wanted to transform America and he did. Hundreds of thousands of people died on both sides because the man in power wanted more money and a larger Government. Don't take my word for it research it for yourself.
Now to the flag. Now the people that hold the confederate flag hostage and deem it racist, support the Black Panther party (You know the ones who want to kill all white people and their babies). These are the same people who are burning the American Flag and getting Government aid. Most of these people do not know who runs their own Government. But the President did exactly what he said he would do (We are going to fundamentally transform this country)and he did. Why? Money? Remember he said he was the new Lincoln. You know he has taken your attention away from the real problems and started little ones that keep your attention. The real problem is we are broke. The country is falling apart, jobs are sent everywhere but here. Our national debt has doubled every year he has been President. His Health Care law is a joke. His wife wants you to eat rabbit food at school. Instead of talking about the killings going on in Chicago, Detroit, (you know the northern states) he focuses on asinine irrelevant stories.
You have to ask yourself this: is he doing this to better our country or is he really changing America into a 3rd world country.
People in the south are very proud, God fearing people. The man in charge is trying to change that to give himself more power. But he will also find out that people in the south are very stubborn as well.
