There's an entirely new type of business industry thriving in today's USA that Martin Luther King Jr. probably never would have imagined - a sex trade that is accepted, rubber-stamped as legit, and sold happily with smiling faces. Yes, strippers, porn queens and call girls are considered human resources, too, by the companies that employ them, not to mention, by their clientele. . . .
In an op-ed that was headlined here a few days ago, Rob Kall's "The Most Dangerous Threat to Humanity -- Not Ebola Not War," Kall wrote about how dangerous, reckless, and unbridled the super-wealthy have become in the world. Today we live on a dysfunctional diseased planet where a small handful of ultra-rich, mega-powerful people are making unethical and unlawful decisions, and doing it with impunity, for self-serving and oftentimes maniacal reasons. Obviously, this elitist set considers the other 99.9999999999 percent of us "subhuman" and they can do whatever they want to with us. After all, we're not human, but that they are -- this ultra-rich, entitled class of billionaires. Sub-humanizing takes on a nuclear-level dynamic in today's society, where a select few, filthy-rich, primarily white American men are making scary, egregious and oftentimes preposterous decisions that ultimately effect all other living beings.

It's time for some new ideology. It's come to pass that a different emphasis on what is valued and what it not of any consequence begins to take form. More emphasis needs to be placed on those who bring value to
this world, and less value must be placed on those who hold monetary value, and constantly take, take and take from this world.
A small number of people who are working toward benevolent change, although they might not,
themselves, hold any real monetary worth to speak of, are more important than a
hundred millionaires whose only responsibility is to greedily horde more and
more money. You know the type - the rich who give out Thanksgiving turkeys to their employees on holidays, yet their workers are food-stamp recipients, with inadequate shelter and who might even wear shabby clothes.
A woman losing a daughter to a serial killer - a lady who is working with judges, legislators and
the bureaucratic infrastructure in her state to get tougher laws in place to
prosecute sociopath-psychopath killers is of much greater worth in this sick, twisted, materialistic society
than some guy who owns a car dealership and advertises on his local television stations
using false patriotism of standing
under a gigantic flag, all in the name of selling cars off his lot. An obscure musician who holds concerts to bring attention to a social, environmental, or economic problem is
much more valuable to us all than a famous rock band that always falls on the old
staple of sex & drugs & rock & roll in all their songs. And the disabled veteran living on a meager vet's disability - who is an advocate for veteran's rights - is a much greater hero than some bonehead, chickenhawk, celebrity who was a draft dodger, yet will happily be cheer-leading to send your son or daughter off to a war that really shouldn't be fought in the first place. It's time America and Americans had a bit of an attitude adjustment. It's time for more tolerance and less sub-humanizing.
