It appears that any newly published book that might challenge the status quo of corporate-government collusion is essentially banned from being presented in the media or public library system. One such book is Nobody's Perfect; A Critique of Modern American Society, by R. Glukstad. What can the average reader do to rectify this situation?

Seventy Five
The cube that relates time and space
The sphere that is the influence of reality
A half of a half is as far away from infinity
As is the twilight cloak of the incandescent demolition
That is the birth and mart of all that stretches itself
And again we know and appreciate
Through personality
Wisdom

3-d vibrating ellipse of 6-8 units is the soul - which itself has part
in this verse, part in other verse, part in b/w
the mind is the 24 matrices due to 12 local 12 non-local perpetuations of fractals harmonizing
the body is the alignment of atoms based on these individual circuit fractals of pureness, and
the exact fractals im not 100% sure of all of them per se

I’ve not been a Christian for many a year nor have I converted to another faith, but religion haunts me still. I am not normally bothered by people being religious, but it seems strange when they could or would consider me an immoral person as opposed to them. I must consider the moral implications of their faiths, mainly that of the Jews, the Christians and the Muslims whose religions are interrelated and ones that I know more about. What seems exceedingly strange to me is how these faiths consider that eternal damnation as a justified punishment for either not knowing God or knowing and not obeying. Does this god love his children as they profess? I would have to say that this god is not one of love, but of cruel vengeance. They follow for fear of damnation, but claim love for the father. I couldn’t burn my worst enemy for an eternity and say that is just, but this triad of faiths sees that as acceptable punishment. It makes me wonder if these believers truly know what love is if their loving father would do this to them if they are disobedient children. If our god can do this to us what are we capable of doing onto others?

I don’t go around and try to disprove God and there may well be one, but I doubt he, she or it, is anything like what Humans claim. At least I hope not. A believer cannot say the inverse that maybe there is not a god for that type of claim is against the teachings. They will not question God’s moral platform, but feel free to do so to any other faith. I’m caught in the middle of these religious disputes and it sickens me in the knowledge that each one believes the other is Hell bound and that it is just regardless of their devotedness to God. This is truly horrible. A man could spend his whole life praying to God and would do anything in the service to God, but would go to Hell because he didn’t do it correctly. I just can’t figure that out. A god of love ought to be understanding and if he not then he is uncompassionate and generally evil. I would want to believe in a god that is good and compassionate and would not burn people for an eternity and would not meddle in our lives, but would reward those in the Hereafter and leave the remainder to dissipate as if they never were.

The color of love is how i'll begin
Discribes the tone of your beautiful skin
Deep hazel are your watchful eyes
Illuminating darkness in your saddened cries
Whats the matter? I comfort you with a hug
Your affections are returned a very well felt
A smile that moves me i sometimes hallucinate
If you were mine reality would be so great
A brief discription of what many can't see
Or even touch, so luck me......................................

Recognizable abhoration
in
shallow depths
of furtive glances- called love
Drips saccharine
of falicy
satiating anxious ears
Inciting fear
combusting spontaneously
all in one breath

I am merely curious to see what you think. Are we doomed to repeat history. For one do you think a war could envelop in our country like it did back then. Second do you think the situation in the middle east will only get worse. Back then the middle east was the site of a war. Now war has enveloped the middle east again. Like I said are we doomed to repeat history again and again?
