in the 3000-year war between the haves and havenots, has the truth [the first casualty of war] got so far from us that even the most dispassionate mature responsible thinkers are in denial and cant face it?

225 people with as much wealth as 2,500,000,000 people

1% getting 90% of world income [US$70 trillion a year - may actually be worse - may be $270 trillion a year]

pay/fortnight's work from $1 to $1 billion, from 1000th to a million times average

are these figures assimilable to people any more? - or, if people realised these figures, and their implications, would it cause a giant mental meltdown, leaving a gibbering puddle on the floor?

violence is proportional to injustice:

unhappiness is proportional to injustice:

unreality is proportional to injustice:

we have pay from $1000 pay for a lifetime's work, to $1000 for a third of a second's work

did we leave being able to face reality a long long time ago?

There has been over 3000 grammer passage and wording changes in the Book of Mormon since the 1830 print and now.Some spelling problems are found, and some word mix-ups as well, such as "mouldering" for molding, "wrecked" for racked, "constrain" for restrain, and "arrested" for wrested. The ONLY parts of the book free from such errors are the parts which parallel the King James Version word for word. Yet it is claimed the book was translated "by the gift and power of the Holy Ghost, could it make such mistakes? " The Bible manuscripts, by comparison, were (also) written by some unlearned men (Peter, James, John), yet the grammar and spelling in our oldest manuscripts are of the highest quality. God wouldn't have a perfect translation for this new fullfilment of the gospel?
