Had enough of the "holy wars" and partisan political warfare?
Dec 9, 2015
While the terrible storm blows over while the "religious" zealots and partisan demagogues fight for power over each other, we the people have to deal with and repair the damage they have caused, help each other, and hope that the storm will pass soon and the fools will wake up and realize their vain folly and error.
But, while we we wait, we can also take action, because there is a way that real truth will liberate us from all the ignorance, foolishness and madness that plagues us -- truth that will also empower us so that we may finally replace this Theocracy and Plutocracy that now rules us -- replace it with a Real Democracy that will actually be of the people, by the people, and for the people.

What Does Religious Freedom Mean To You?
Aug 21, 2012
There are some religious Christians in America who think that religious freedom means the freedom to try to impose their religious beliefs on the whole country through political and governmental action.
However, most Americans do not know that is not how the Founding Fathers felt about religious freedom. They wrote much, including Article 6 and the 1st Amendment of the Constitution, to make it very clear that there can be no religious freedom unless government is neutral regarding religions, and treats each one equally.

Partisan Politics: Is It the Best Way to Determine Leadership?
Jul 18, 2012
By now most people have realized how damaging to democracy partisan politics actually is, not to mention how divisive and polarizing it is.
Also, more and more people are realizing that it produces NOT government of, by or for the people, but government of, by and for the wealthiest few (regardless of which party wins).
Really, it's a contest for the throne, and the person who wins the throne of power really doesn't serve all the people. Under the present system, that's practically impossible.
I believe there's a better way, and it's based on a philosophy that was written long ago in different ways.
For example, the Old Testament says: "Be wise and consider the ways of the ants, which having no guide, overseer or ruler, provide food in the summer and gather in the harvest." And it also says: "If you want a king, you reject God," for "God is not a man nor a son of man," and "besides God there is no Savior."
Another example is in the Book of Tao, which says: "When the best leader's work is accomplished, the people will say, 'We did it ourselves!'"
In other words, we should stop looking for a conquering hero or someone to play king or queen. Instead, we should make partisan politics obsolete, put an end to the presidential form of monarchy, and establish government that really is of, by and for the people.

POVERTY: America's Greatest Shame
Jul 18, 2012
About half the people in America have been led to believe that poverty is not their problem, that it is a problem brought on the poor by themselves, and that they deserve to be poor because they are merely "lazy" and not "self-reliant."
That's the attitude that Ronald Reagan spread in the 1980s. And lots of Americans bought it, and many still buy it.
But is it true? Really?
There's a good article that tells the truth about it at https://messenger2.cjcmp.org/poverty.html
