It's interesting to think of how wise men thousands of years ago spoke the truth of the inevitable deterioration of the moral values of humanity, which they said would get gradually worse with each new generation. Whether or not this is caused by our genetic code, our own inactivity to prevent the worsening of affairs, or manipulation by an 'elite' with sinister intentions, no informed person can deny that the ethical standard of the world that we live in is in decline, and is continuing to, at worrying pace... Even to the point of accelerating downwards more so every time we vote in somebody new, regardless of which political party they come from!
Drug abuse and crime are on the rise, terrorism and war provide a perpetual threat, illegal immigration is so bad that it seems as though the borders are wide open (and this isn't so far from the truth), and corruption and remorseless lies in government and big businesses are common practice. Debt is rising, personal and national; while the oil businesses/cartels continue to report record profits year by year, not to mention the private war contractors who make vast amounts of money, from our taxes, like the central privately owned banks: the Federal Reserve (estabished in 1913 by President Wilson, which lead to one of the biggest thefts in history, he himself is quoted as saying "A little group of willful men, representing no opinion but their own, have rendered the great government of the United States helpless and contemptible") and the Bank of England, who both issue fiat money (freely) as a loan for government (with interest), and directly receives cash from taxes and the government treasury as payments on the interest of the loans. Plus they have the power to print and to regulate the value of countries money, thus they own the country. As banking legend Mayer Amschel Rothschild said "Give me control over a nations wealth and I care not who makes her laws." For the boards of directors & major shareholders of these private banking cartels, times have never been better, for you and me, we haven't seen the half of it!
As I look up the U.S. national debt clock, I cannot help but think of what was warned of by Wendell Phillips: "Debt is the fatal disease of republics, the first thing and the mightiest to undermine governments and corrupt the people." I see it has currently ticked up to about $9,360,622,130,417.00- about the sum of all U.S. wars ever combined, which is around $30,800 for every single American, spent on your behalf by your trusty government as fuel for the military-industrial complex. This is going to ultimately cripple the U.S. unless something is done immediately, unfortunately McCain, Obama and Hillary all intend to increase the size of government and government spending in more endless peacekeeping operations wars. Could this perhaps be a sabotage of the dollar to bring in the Soviet/European styled North American Union and the Amero (which is now being minted)? This union would essentially destroy the U.S. Constitution, (the living document that is considered by some to be 'God inspired', which brought about the most free country ever on this planet), and put in place a new constitution/set of laws built around the desires of an oligarchy of unelected elitists (such as in the Soviet and European Unions), and In the larger picture of things, this is one step away from an Asian Union, and then a World Union, with the U.N. as its oppressive army, ready to take on all dissent, and perhaps keep them in the F.E.M.A. concentration camps forced labor centers, already built in the U.S. - led by the ones with the cash.
We continue to labor like dogs, "having our balls in a vice-grip", so to speak (as homelessness and bankruptcy are rising sharply amongst the middle and lower classes as a result), to fund these monsters who plan wars and divides at home and abroad, who plot and instigate the bombings and murders of hundreds of thousands of innocent civilians overseas, and sending many to camps to be held indefinitely without trial and are tortured questioned in the harshest of conditions. Our rights are also under direct attack from our leaders, with privacy drifting further and further away, becoming something of a myth. We are only steps away from total internet censorship regulation & monitorisation, and a national identification system, not unlike those used by both the Nazis and the Communists, to make the individual dependant on the state (checkpoints: "Papers please komrade"). People aren't even waking up to the reality of a microchipping system (RFID) at birth that is being systematically put in place, handfuls of people have already been chipped, and the news is pushing it as the "foolproof way to protect children", when police officers have shown how they and the government deal with children, in one instance Miami-Dade police used a tazer on a 6 year old, who was holding a piece of glass (there were three officers present), and in another incident police tazed a 12 year old truant with 50,000V for running away, even when it's well known that long-term damage and even death can be caused by the shock from a tazer to anyone except a fully-grown healthy man (there are hundreds of cases of people dying as a result of being tazed). How many times throughout history have we seen governments grant themselves more power and then abuse the hell out of it?
One way they avoid accountability is by shifting the power to unaccountable groups such as think tanks. It's utterly unconstitutional, but the Constitution doesn't play a part in their agenda- it hinders them! The Council on Foreign Relations (the ones who stated that they needed a new "Pearl Harbor like" event, to rally support for a new war in the Middle East, in early 2001), the Trilateral Commission, the Club of Rome, and the yearly secret meeting of the elite 'Bilderberg group'; a couple hundred world leaders, royalty, international bankers, media titans and corporate kingpins, all guarded in an emptied 5* hotel by a private security firm who surround the area with snipers and 'officers' with sub-machineguns, spring to mind, they all dictate and influence international policies, conspiring and dealing over all areas; political, commercial and otherwise, behind closed doors.
Also, and this is what I consider the most evil of things, we have let them get away with polluting and poisoning our food, drink, land and air. The F.D.A. is doing an incredibly poor job of keeping us safe, so much so that one must doubt the very need for the agency, they deserve none of our countries money when they permit such things as these: the unregulated amounts of sodium fluoride that are added to drinking water supplies in the U.S. and U.K., for 'hygiene', even when chlorine alone kills any bacteria, and sodium fluoride has been scientifically tested and proven to have no benefit on teeth or anything else when drunk, but instead causes fluorosis, which weakens your teeth & bones! Did I mention that fluorine is more toxic than lead? It kills brain cells! The Nazis added it to the water of the death camps! It's illegal to add it to water in all of Europe except for the U.K.
MSG, aspartame, phosphoric acid, GMO foods, aluminium & mercury are a few more of the toxic additives in your food, drink and even in the cases of aspartame & mercury, medicine. Some of these are neurotoxins, and others can cause cancer. This is absolutely unthinkable to the majority of people out there but it is fact, and you can verify this and many more horrific crimes by digging deep online and in books, and I strongly urge you to tell everyone you know about this, and check your ingredients to know exactly what you are putting in your body.
The mainstream media, especially in the form of television news has developed distorting the truth and diverting people away from the true issues down to an art, manipulating and deceiving the masses on a daily basis, no better an example of this is the current U.S. Presidential race, the Corporate allies are bigged-up best by the media, whilst genuine candidates, for the 'little peoples' rights and not big business, like Ron Paul, are silenced, dismissed and portrayed by news and television as crazy, paranoid, 'conspiracy theorist'-like fringe candidates that are a wasted vote. So of course you should do as they say, and 'back a winner', like John "100-years-in-Iraq" McCain, Barack "war-with-Pakistan" Obama or Hillary "I-wanna-rule-the-world" Clinton. The change that these people want is the stuff that goes straight into their pockets; it is the same 'change' that we have gotten from the lame-duck President Bush: decline.
So now we have to ask ourselves, "What change do we really want?"

Dude. Those "wise men" got it way wrong. The human IQ has been rising about 3 points per ten years this century. Slavery is no longer a moral perogative for wealthy elite peoples. We no longer stone people for mild offenses. We have a vastly better understanding that all peoples, regardless of color, are brethren from DNA knowledge... We've raised women to the statuds of men (in the West). We put great emphasis on the healing sciences and are giving people far more comfortable lives. It is mostly the archaic religionists who are still corrupted by old and immoral thinking patterns...
"Spirituality" is an over-rated axiom which basically means "believing in things which are not real to make us feel better about ourselves and the fact that we will die"... Morality, on the other hand is an evolving human construct, constantly assessing the dilemmas we face as humans and attempting to resolve them peaceably...
I couldn't even read the rest of this after coming across that bit of miscarriage...
Duuude! Scott, the Buddha said that and he didn't keep slaves, a good Buddhist serves others and not himself, and would NEVER stone someone no matter what the offence! And who are you to say spirituality is "believing in things which are not real", you don't know that. I bet u dont even have a clue about the things Mike covered, no matter what IQs have changed to high IQs built the NUCLEAR BOMB and WMDs, most people are STUPID and dont really kno anything.
The three wise men wiped thier own (Cencord for Nolan Chart readers who don't feel comfortable with a 3 letter English word that describes the buttox) with thier own hands. And you consider them wise?
I believe they used leaves to wipe thier bottoms, anyway do u think that in 3000 years time people will consider us stupid for wiping ours with paper? How about our laws, and culture?? How about wars? I think you're just too stupid to take in what you are reading, therefore you quit and don't give it a second thought.
Go back to thinking how high and mighty you are for living in an era of modern conveniences, in your own little box.
Excuse me, my generation has never made up a deity that everyone will call wise and worship. I am just making fun of the idiocy of assuming that back then men lived for 200 years plus.
I base the use of hands because a lot of Muslims and Hindus still do this today.
Imagine the rash that leaves would have caused if you had a skin allergy. Ok then.
We are smarter today when we say that Jesus wasn't god and that god does not exist.
heh, your generation hasn't had a figure wise and inspirational enough, who has tens of millions of followers and will still have followers in thousands of years time.
oh and yeah, leaves sure do leave nasty rashes, can u believe that they put aloe vera in tissue paper these days!?
im wasting my time reading what you have to say lloyd; it's irrelevant and is mostly nonsensical.
Wow, great work- this really sums up the devious side of government, without too much spin or blame upon one particular group. Thanks for the links too! The whole system is rotten, system was originally termed from toilet, and so it is!
I can really understand why Paul supporters are so passionate about getting him in the White House! There's good reason to!!
"It is mostly the archaic religionists who are still corrupted by old and immoral thinking patterns..."
Thou shall not kill, steal, lie, etc...yeah, those sound outdated and totally irrelevant. In fact, let's just murder Mike now for his opinion. I'm sure no one will see any harm in that, because after all, the assumption that killing is an immoral exercise is obviously false, right? ...right? No?
Absolutist logic is a fallacy, and is no better than denouncing those who proclaim that gods and demons control you.
"'Spirituality' is an over-rated axiom which basically means 'believing in things which are not real to make us feel better about ourselves and the fact that we will die'.

You disregarded the point he was making. Yes, he made this distinction poorly, but is it making us any more proper and upright and ethically correct through all this smut that we absorb from the TV? The truth is, if you believe what you're espousing, then you are not a libertarian. You're a Randian, who in truth rejects almost all notions of libertarianism.
Also, your simplification of spirituality is a poor connotation with arcane practices, something that doesn't resonate well for someone that declares their self to be of a sound mind and rationality to come to that conclusion.
