Some folks got to much power and will most likely do anything to keep it! Unless people wake up life as we know it will turn sour real fast in the name of keeping the little scared ones safe!

Answer 2

events only change lives if the individual is affected ,even such a terrible event such as 9/11 only affects a tiny portion of the worlds population .For me personally it has made no difference at all .The only life changing events that affect people en masse are things like WW2 or somehing on that kind of scale

Answer 3

Answer 9

9/11 is a bit more writing on the wall

symbolic too

pay ranges from $1 to $1,000,000,000 a fortnight

90% of people get $7500 - $75 income a year

225 people get as much as 2,500,000,000 people

everyone knows that if a govt took 90% of income permanently off 90% of citizens and gave it to 1%, it would 1] diminish human happiness by a factor of something like 100 or 1000 2] generate enormous violence 3] endanger everyone enormously

after millenia of increase of wealth and poverty, we have worse than taking 90% off 90% and giving it to 1% - 90% of people get 90 - 99.9% taken off them -a dn another 9% get 0 - 90% taken off them - 1% get 90% of world income - US$70 trillion a year - which is US$70,000 per family - ie, every family is robbed of US$70,000 a year - this is beyond madness - everyone [broadly speaking] works - the underpaid have to work, to survive - homemakers work 70-90 hours a week -

if you draw a graph of hourly pay, with world average pay at one metre, the lowest pay at 1 millimetre, you have to go up 1000 KILOMETRES TO GRAPH THE HIGHEST HOURLY PAY - 90% are under 10cm - only 1% are above average

the state or globe built on injustice cannot stand - human society is at present built on the most super hyper extreme injustice, generating the most super hyper extreme violence [war and crime] - we are testing society to destruction

the fall of the towers is symbolic of this injustice earthquake in society -

justice in pay, reduced injustice in pay is ESSENTIAL - WE HAVE NO CHOICE - WE HAVE TO BECOME JUST TO SURVIVE - we have now weapons capable of destroying all life 60 times over - smoke blocking out the sun, freezing everything

the alternative to present capitalism is not communism or socialism, it is capitalism + justice = peace and plenty

there is US$75,000 per family - world annual income divided by number of families - that means that the family working average hard creates by their work US$75,000 of goods a year -

money is good - because it buys almost all good things - therefore the theft of money is the greatest injury ie injustice - generating anger violence danger extinction soon

the writing is on the wall - humans have never yet succeeded in avoiding increase of overpay and underpay to the destruction of the state, empire, etc - every empire so far has fallen by injustice and the violence generated - and now we have weapons that can kill us all - the next fall will not be the fall of empire but the fall of humanity

we have pay from $1 to $1,000,000,000 a fortnight's work - 90% getting less than $100 a fortnight - 99% getting less than $1000 a fortnight [the world average, 1998 dollars - $1500 in 2006 dollars] - only 1% getting more than the average - 1% getting up to a million times the average - $1,000,000,000 [billion] a fortnight

1% get 90% of world income - US$70,000,000,000,000 trillion a year - and do less than 1% of the work

we cannot afford such beyond-mad levels of injustice - we simply cannot survive such levels

war and crime have been the writing on the wall for millenia - obviously if you take 90% of income off 90% of people and give it to 1%, you create violence [war and crime], you destroy peace and happiness, you torture yourself

no one approves of taking 90% off 90% and giving it to 1% - no govt would be allowed to do such a mad thing - THEREFORE WE ALREADY HAVE A UNIVERSAL HUMAN WILL TO NOT HAVE SUCH A THING - everyone wants such a thing not to be - so we only have to wake up to what we already want - and with a universal will to have justice, there will be no opposition, no struggle, no force, no protest marches, no resistance to it - we just have to explain it to ourselves, we just have to mentally process the simple undeniable reasoning - we already want it - all of us - because no human would propose taking 90% off 90% as a good idea

if everyone who learns of it passes it on to just two people, every adult will get the idea in jsut 31 times the time to tell two people - so mere word of mouth can spread the word - easy-as - will we wake to our own wishes? - can we conquer the blur of incomprehension in our minds? - will we fight to the death our own failure to grasp the simple reality?

justice = happiness, we have extreme injustice, SO WE CAN BE EXTREMELY HAPPIER

we have more than 90% taken off 90%, and we already believe such a thing to be mad, so we can make the little changes needed

a law limiting fortunes [as the founding fathers of america tried to get] to the maximum a person can earn by their lifetime contribution, and giving back the overpay to the underpaid, thus destroying world violence [we know taking 90% off 90% would generate enormous violence, so we know that reversing this will reverse enormous violence]

but there is that little human reluctance to restore justice - make a decision - try resisting that little reluctance to reverse injustice

we know taking 90% off 90% of citizens would reduce happiness by a factor of something like 100, so we know that giving back 90% to 90% will increase happiness by a factor of something like 100
