It is limiting when we really could be more, do more, if we did it and gave freely.The current financial system is not working for the most of us and it has never made sense to me how the wealthy spend their money...war, manipulation, to control...while others are starving (intentionally arranged so they would), barely making ends meet. How determined the salaries of the various categories of jobs? Are not all talents necessary to make the ship sail? I'm for making class distictions a thing of the past. The lack that some have affects us all. To date, we have not been able to solve this problem under the current system of things.If money were not a part of the equation, then we could each do according to our heart, without the manipulation and limitation of financial restrictions.

Also an advanced meditator, learned Reiki, how to heal with my hands. Our spiritual journeys are individual and our own for sure.Jesus had a tough time with the moneychangers too. Overturned their tables. That's what a lot of us would like to do, but our method might look a little different.

Makes sense doesn't it? Thank you and I return the sentiment.

This was a single assignment in Civics class many years ago. I am afraid that the oligarchy has been here for many decades and is now out of the closet.I have a take on the political spectrum that is a circle. Too far left or too far right, we end up in the same place ..... the wrong side of the circle. This circular spectrum might also explain why, for the people, too far right or left does not look much different.I welcome your response. Thanks for the reminder of that for which we are striving.

I have a take on the political spectrum that is a circle. Too far left or too far right, we end up in the same place ….. the wrong side of the circle. This circular spectrum might also explain why, for the people, too far right or left does not look much different.

I welcome your response.

My guess would be that you are not actually that familiar with the Bible. I don't say this as an affront, but simply to point out that the Bible warns against the love of money, not money itself.Though you may find some truths in the Z-movement, these truths are used to lead you away from one great truth.Notice my original reply did not bash you or the godless. I just pointed out that you should be careful of belief in the whole because of some pretty parts.And to Nate Y: you live in an almost free society which gives you the right to be godless. You will not find me disrespecting you for that, but you will also not find me shying away from my own belief. My friends and family range from anti-theist to Biblical scholar, and noone has had a problem at holiday dinners. The Christians pray and the rest meditate in their own way. Everyone is on their path to truth.Each may believe that the other is wrong, but we don't knock each other in the head over any other disagreements. Why should this be any different. I guess I'm trying to say that I am more than proud to stand next to you in this battle for our freedoms after reading many of your posts.For the believers and non-believers that do not want to strike each other down, I submit this recorded debate between Dr. Atkins and Dr. Craig: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w1Y6ev152BA&feature=relatedPeace and Love Yes, I have.
