Thanks for the kind words. 

Perhaps it is our fate to forever remain on the horns of an endless cycle of 
dilemmas, compelled to create and recreate our purpose and its meaning, as we 
eke out a wretched existence. Perhaps what changes is how we define 
"wretched." 

It has taken me a lifetime to partially emerge from the ideology on an era 
past. At least 98% of every thought I think is either wrong or shallow - not 
just in the historical sense or the scales of eternity, but in the 
present/future moments we live. Then 90% of everything I write is inaccurate 
- and hated by myself when read a week later, but I have what seems to me, an 
inborn faith to go forward. 

This faith, which seeks purpose and its definition, was nurtured by mother 
and hardened by father's labor gigantic hands. In our rather large country 
and various regions, we have a historical sense of justice - (however we 
define it as individuals and in the South this sense of justice and its 
denial has produced a certain distinct ideological expression), that stirs us 
to act in a most passionate way about everything and nothing.   

I cannot overthrow me and I guess this is why no ruling class can overthrow 
itself or commit suicide as a class. 

Something different is happening in the life of our country and the world. An 
intense intellectual debate is taking place throughout the world. A certain 
evening up or implementation of modern technology allows millions to 
communicate at the same time in real time and the Marxist of all hue have 
stepped forward in an attempt to make sense of the world in which we live. 
Old doctrine blunts the message and often makes it unintelligent. 

Evil roams the land. Evil is not an intellectual construction but long ago 
constructed its intellectual shell. In America it has become very difficult 
for anyone to justify hunger, ignorance and poverty or blame these things on 
the individual. Society itself has given society permission to feed the 
individual's child and educate them if the individual is unable. 

America is an imperial power - the imperial power, and this means we are the 
imperial people devoid of a certain paternalism characteristic of those 
societies that passed from feudal landed property relations to industrial 
relations. 

The land bleeds and screams for justice! 

The current efforts of our leaders is understood by everyone to be that of 
the executioner, jailer, policeman and cold hearted. An increasing number of 
our peoples are rejecting the actions of the cold heart. The faith of those 
who reject the cold heart in favor of the warm hear is an affirmation of 
life, for it is the warms heart that radiates love, passion and compassion. 

There are those who have embraced the cold hearted. Many of them believe in a 
destiny that defies - run counter, to the fact that we can live in peace 
without a money system dominating our every thought. The cold heart is a 
description of evil and death thousands of years old and translatable into 
any language on earth. 

I am a hard-core materialist. The cold of heart resembles he who has lost the 
spark of life in the body radiating the warmth that maintains life itself. 
"Am I my brother's Keeper?" To answer anything but yes, or give 
qualifications to ones "yes" is to inch closer to evil. It's really that 
simple. The cold hearted are actually losing the battle for the human heart. 
This is why they - yes "they," are so willing to lash out in an orgy of 
violence. Do they not know that it is blood that alkalize the earth and 
causes reassertion of all that is living and healthy? 

Interestingly enough, vision into what is possible concerning the evolution 
of our money system and the industrial mode of production, can best be 
articulated by the heart of the South and its old plantation areas. In my 
learning I call this the national-colonial question and by doing so, blunt 
the passion of history. 

The human burden that has weighted heavy on the shoulders of man and reduced 
women - Eve, to an appendage of the broken man can now be placed on the 
mechanical limbs of the robot - machines in the stage of computers and 
advanced robotics. Every since man was cast onto the earth as the tiller of 
land he could not stand erect. He carried the burden of emergence and woman 
carried his burden. 

Be it resolved that, the robot shall carry the primary burden of labor and 
man shall carry the burden of being herself. 

Here is the bottom line story of the law of value and its evolution in the 
era of electronics. The advance robot has arrived and his further enhancement 
is mind boggling. Evil shall suffer a fundamental set back but the battle is 
into infinity.
