"The key to humanity’s trouble has been to take and not give, to accept and not
share, to grasp and not to distribute....

"Humanity has never really lived up to the teaching given it. Spiritual
impression, whether conveyed by the Christ, by Krishna or by Buddha (and passed
on to the masses by Their disciples) has not yet been expressed as it was hoped.
Men do not live up to what they already know; they fail to make practical their
information; they short circuit the light; they do not discipline themselves;
greedy desire and unlawful ambition control and not the inner knowledge...
Spiritual impression has been interrupted and there has been interference with
the divine circulatory flow...
This is the major problem facing spiritual people at this time."

If someone's taking, someone must be giving.
I would reckon in the giving/taking stakes, bringing strong statistical
analysisi to bear the ratio is 50/50.
Humanity's OK.
It just depends which way you look at it.

30-35 years ago, most white Americans thought everything was fine and that
nothing needed changing too. Of course MLK and friends had other ideas.

When you consider that 1 billion people, 1/6 of the earth's population are
living in abject poverty, and that of those an estimated 25,000 (mostly
children) die of hunger every day (not week or month)...while there is a surplus
of food on the planet, It seems pretty narrow minded to say...that
'everything's fine'.

When we evolve to the point where everyone is as concerned about their neighbors
everywhere, as a few good people are now concerned about impoverished people in
their cities...then we will be ok. Right now, it seems that most of us take our
material possessions and luxuries for granted, while we selfishly ignore the
less fortunate.

It depends on which side of the fence you're on. If you're belly and fridge is
full, then it's ok. But if you happen to be close to one of the estimated
25,000 who die each day of hunger in this world of plenty (there is an excess of
food), then there are some big problems!

50 years ago, lots of people thought blacks were inferior to whites.

Today, lots of people think those in the lesser developed parts of the
world matter much less than those of us in the developed part of the world, and
we ignore their plight, while we grab more for ourselves.

50 years from now, there will be no people dying of hunger...because the
percentage of people with good sense and compassion for the less fortunate is
growing and will continue to grow.

Actually, it's my opinion (and psuedo-objective view of real life situations)
that "Blacks" are in fact superior to "Whites" in so many ways, that,
when it comes to intellectual standards of comparison, the case can be
made that thru history and socialization "Blacks" have been conditioned
to feel/think that they are 'not' naturally superior. This is obviously
beginning to change (slowly & painfully for many "Blacks" & non-"Blacks"
alike - but make no mistake: it is changing).

The "well-off", although, outwardly sympathetic to the less
developed, infrastructurally speaking, are really not of a mind to risk
losing what they take for granted, by even considering the
realities of those out of their immediate geopolitical/socioeconomic loop.

You can only be affected by "walking in one's shoes" or
really "'seeing' empathetically". Personally, I blame the
extraterrestrial geneticists*. Don't you? !!!!!

The late Thomas Edwin Castello, who worked within the
underground 'Dulce' facility, [http://eagle-net.org/dulce/]
suggested that the early experiments by Rand and Los Alamos
labs in nuclear-powered 'earth-boring' technology has been
taken to the extreme.
In a letter dated Sept. 1990, he made mention of the
nuclear BORING mechanisms which can allegedly bore a
tunnel through the earth at a rate of 5-10 mph by cracking
the surrounding rock and heating the rock and earth into a
state of liquid incandescance using super-hot cones, pulsed
lasers and other methods [see: U.S. Patent numbers 3,881,777;
3,885,832 and 3,693,731 for instance, via their Patent Search
engine which can be easily accessed by doing a "web search"
of the "United States Patent Office"] and pressing the liquid
or molten rock into the peripheral cracks where the cold earth
cools and solidifies it in a matter of minutes, leaving no
leftover materials that would otherwise have to be removed
from the tunnel, as in more traditional and expensive
tunneling or mining operations.

Earth boring system and apparatus

Abstract

An earth boring system is disclosed for guiding and steering
a string of pipe casings to form an underground cased bore.
The string of pipe casings are guided by a boring end assembly
including a front casing and a steering head connected at an
interface gap by a plurality of hinge assemblies each having
an actuator and a pair of connector parts. A protective
enclosure protects the hinge assemblies from loosened earth
from the earthen bore and from the earth being removed from
within the pipe casings. The protective enclosure can be formed
by an inner pipe and an outer pipe of both the front casing and
the steering head, plus a closure ring and a retainer belt at
the interface gap. Guidance sensors are provided to determine
the location of the string of pipe casings and a computer control
center computes steering head axial and angular displacements for
guiding the string of pipe casings and controlling the extent of
the interface gap.

Portable earth boring machine

Abstract

A portable earth boring machine for the horizontal boring of
shafts and the insertion of pipeline casing sections in
installations where excavation from the surface is undesirable.
The machine is characterized by a steering head particularly
adapted for rock drilling operations which head is positioned
at the front of the casing with such steering head being
automatically controlled so as to directionally control the
direction of extension of the pipeline as the drilling
operation progresses.

Your theory of taking from the producers and giving to the non-producers
simply will not work due to the fact that when a person learns that he can
eat without working, he simply will not work. Look around you. There's
proof everywhere.

There also is the possibility that the cause of all man's problems is his

My earlier statement was to answer the point that no-one is giving, everyone
is taking, and that is the problem with Humanity.
I was pointing out that this is not possible.
I repeat: if someone is taking, then someone must be giving, so on average
it's 50/50, which is what I mean by "OK".

People in undeveloped countries have the same right to earn their sustenance
that I do. They do not have the right to have taken what I've earned and
given to them.

Therein lies the major appeal of socialism. People sign on to it when they
realize that they can live off the sweat of others without effort on their
part. That system, like true democracy, eventually implodes into itself.

======================
I think that socializm failed because of the lack of freedom.. It had
more to do with the basic corruptability of mankind. The desire to control
and dominate others.. No matter what the government is or idealistic
dreams may be,, some one is going to look to take advantage.. The Soviet
System fell from corruption... A simple case of too much power held by too
few people.

If you actually looked at many of the so-called Self Made Millionairs you
find that they had advantages over the common man. They were from rich
familys, and had many connections that helped them suceed... If they are
willing to tell the truth they would say that they were lucky in life..
This is one ot the problems people have we tend to live in a fantasy world
of our own creation. To fullfill our fantasys we will lie cheat and steel,
and even kill to get what we want.. We turn the channel when we see
starving children in Africa and complain that our BMW's aren't brand new.
The BMW was bought from profit from a factory in which that raw materials
came from that same African country, and to get the materials cheaper we
had the government overthrown and made deals with the new dictator. We
installed the Shaw of Iran when the democratic government was going to
nationalize the oil fields... We sent the CIA to overthrow the government
so we could have cheep oil.

We have to acknowlege that we are lucky in life and that others aren't so
lucky.. Then if we do that fairness dictates that we help those who aren't
so lucky. This simple thing is not Socialism, it's just consideration for
others and a healthy dose of humility..
