wow, that's quite a list you got going there, i would suggest that you try to live life to its fullest and not try to worry about too much about the world,,,it will still be there after you and i are gone and there is nothing you or i can do to change anything. man will progress, a little at a time...just look back at the last one hundred years...mankind has come a long way forward since then and i agree it has a long way to go. it take time, lots of it, for man to become what we aspire to become.

I think I'm real!!! I care a lot about this world. I have grand daughters that have to live their life here when I'm gone. I am for cleaning up this polution. Putting along in an electric car if need be. I saw on TV where they were testing battery operated cars, and they had like 12 big batteries under the hood. Why didn't they try that before when one battery went too slow, and didn't they have much worse road conditions then? Or did they when I wasn't paying attention. Wouldn't that give us enough power to get around? And why don't they run passenger trains from suburbs to the city. It would keep the polution out of town, and why couldn't we all have at least 1 wind mill on our property to create electric. I also think if we had a flat tax for sales tax in each state we could drop all the other property taxes, percapita tax, car tax city permit tax ect. Who knows how many others there are in all of the 50 states and million cities. Federal government needs to do the same with income tax. No more deductions. Only for children and an equal amount for each child no matter what you earn. If we got rid of all the other loop holes we could save billions of tax dollars, and probably pay way less in taxes.
BECAUSE
We wouldn't need all those government employees on the payroll to keep the rest of us honest. We would probably save millions just for not having to print all those those forms every year. You know the 1040; A B BB C9 or what ever you need to get a deduction for this and that. That is what is wasting all the money. Just pay all the bills with the least amount of flat tax on everyone. Why isn't that fair? If you make more you pay more. If you shop more you pay more. I think it is even this way. And I know it would be way cheaper to run the country this way.
As one little person I can not do anything about world problems, but if people would get up and stand together maybe we could get the right one in the white house who would change things. I would change my democratic position and vote independant next election. If I thought enough people would do it , to make it count. I think we are over due for this to happen. Neither political party is doing what the people want, and we should vote them both out of office and change politics as we know them. How many people would vote for a real change out there? I'll put it to a question. Get ready give me your vote on who would be the best, and why.

Yes, you are quite correct. First we have to get rid of this suffering from within. Only then it makes sense to 'try' to help others out of it !
' Friends & family ' speaks about relationships ! What we need to realise that 'support' of any kind is a consequense of such relationships, and not the purpose of it ! It can work well & sustain only that way, else, even the closest of relationships turn out to be merely a ' mutual-benefit-scheme ! ' .
And then, we will indeed 'find' that all the people out there are as 'real' as we are too !

to realize we all have the power to change it for the better that the power really does not lie with anyone nation. it lies with the citizens of the world. what it will take is this message being communicated to everyone. we need to get it out we need no weapons to get what we want just a ballot box with ballots and just a change to voting laws no change in current citizenship for other countries which do not have two. not dual but something more. as to rest i think people must be taken to where the ice is melting and shown it. also should be field trips to look at gulf stream and be educated about it. protection law placed on it which provides it with endangered status.same placed on planet to cover all lifeforms . the planetary endangered species act

I am not real. Neither is this world. Humanity has been granted with the divine power of personal conciousness. Perspective limits and defines this world and my perspective, which no one can judge, let alone assess, states that i am not real. I am undefinedable from my surroundings. I am not real, but i control my surroundings, i am also continously part of everything. Ha, but i am not god. He is the one person who can assess and judge me, utterly and completely. I myself control this world, and i have found a heaven. You are alone, but are also disolved into your world. You are everthing and everyone you meet or know. Our home? no, your home. and my home. We do not share anything. If this is a question upon the success of our ecosystem, be responsible. You can persaude others. Its very simple. i am too smart for this. i'm an asshole haahaha

that depends on what you mean by'real' people. yes, we really need to do something about things, there is too much to do and you've got to start some where.the best place to start, i think is with ourselves, do what you can, touch lives and change it for the better and hope that they pass it on.i believe that nothing here belongs to me, it's just held in trust for the future generations.
if you think that something belongs to you, yes you'll defend it from all comers, but you don't have to answer to anyone but yourself and you can do anything to what's yours without any regards to anybody else.to hold something in trust, means that you can be trusted and you have the future generations to answer to whatever we do, but remember it starts with the power of one and that is you.of course every one needs love and support of the community, but we can only make up our minds and do the best that we can hoping that others will be moved to do the same.
hang in there and stand to be counted!!
God bless,

We are all real inside, now if we let that real person out is a different story. If you want a world of peace, you need to live in alignment with such a world. If you are not representing the change you wish to see then you have no right to preach to others. If you want to live in a world of suffering then you will. It is your job to make 'your' world one of splendor, as for 'the' world, that is only the job of other individuals. Live your truth and teach those who are willing to learn. I personally know that I would prefer financial freedom over being broke. I pursue my goals and teach others along the way, if they prefer to be broke, so be it, that is their choice. It is not your job to change everyone else, it is your job to change yourself and help those who want to change.

I could not fight for the larger cause. But I have fought with courage against various odds to stand for what I thought was right not by thought but by experiments. I have fought against exploitation and have championed the cause of downtrodden. When I thought truth was with me, I did not fear even the mighty.

There is nothing in "this world" that I care about. My cares are upon God and the mansion he prepares for me. Nothing is ours, it all belongs to Jesus Christ, and for us to truly enjoy what we have here on earth, we have to have Him in our hearts, souls, minds and hearts. without God, there is only turmoil and suffering on earth.
And it WILL get worse!
