We can convince all people that you don’t need to let another person control your thinking; God wants to accept you just as you are. Just connect with him through prayer and meditation. Accept the wisdom he gave you. That is why you are here. If there is any hate or rejection of another person, or group of persons in your religious belief or in your soul then there is something besides God influencing you. What is so ugly about the religious institutions that control our government now is how hypocritical their message is from the one that their prophets are trying to convey. What happened to love your enemies? What happened to turn the other cheek? What happened to pray for them that despite you?

God is good. Religion is evil.

This nation is no longer one nation under God. I don’t believe Christ or Muhammad would have any association with today’s institutions of religion, which so flagrantly violate their teachings. In order to have freedom of religion we must have freedom from religion. That is the founding principle of the United States of America.

Here is the last wise thought in our preamble.

Secure the blessings of liberty to ourselves and our posterity.

What are the “Blessings of Liberty”? Certainly they are not the confines of the ghetto; certainly they are not being crammed on a super highway in traffic crawling nowhere. I don’t even think being glued to the tube watching mindless sitcoms is much of a blessing either.

The Blessings of Liberty are the blessings of nature that God and Mother Nature so wonderfully bestowed upon us. You know, the purple mountains majesty the amber waves of grain from sea to shining sea, the stuff that makes this planet such a beautiful place to live. He gave us the talent to make it even more beautiful. But instead, because of that one flaw in our constitution, our corporate government complex has created a society of greed. We are squandering and chewing up those blessings like a starving wolf. For those of us who don’t know what posterity is, (I had to look it up to be sure) it is your children and your children’s children and their children’s children and their children’s children, I believe we are not going to make it that long if we don’t wake up and wise up. We should be planning on the next thousand years and the thousand years beyond that. At the rate we are using up our resources especially our petroleum reserves; we are going to be a day late and a dollar short of making the train into the future. You can forget about the space ship into the heavens.

We could easily be living a life of luxury on one tenth of the non-renewable resources we are using now. But guess what, they are making so much money on the cars, oil and electricity they are selling you they are not going to let you conserve. If you don’t drive a Stupid Urban Vehicle by now then you are putting your life in greater danger on the highway. Who wants their kids mashed up by a Lincoln Navigator? At least you want to even the odds. Don’t you?

I believe the world’s gas tank is already beyond half empty. We need to save the rest of the remaining petroleum to make all the wonderful things you can make from it. Burning petroleum to scoot your butt in a three-ton vehicle to the grocery store or to work is unconstitutional. (Remember that magic word in the last phrase “posterity”) It is also very stupid in the grand scheme of things. If you are already driving a Stupid Urban Vehicle you probably don’t give a rat’s gonad about your great grand children any way.

Notice the phrase that says "secure the blessings of liberty to ourselves and our posterity". Not to the People of Iraq, not to the people of Cuba, not to the people of Nicaragua, not to the people of China, not to any one but ourselves. No, I am not advocating selfishness here. I am just saying if we ever get it together. The whole world will follow. Also, in my humble opinion, it makes our attempt to force liberty in Iraq or Cuba or anywhere else unconstitutional. Forcing liberty is an oxymoron like military intelligence. No matter how much intelligence you posses if you use it for military purposes, it is not intelligent.

I know all of this thinking may sound a bit radical. Really it is not. This is where we would be if our forefathers had the additional wisdom to separate the influence of money (“Special Interest”) from government. Our future would be secure. And I believe we would have led the world to real peace and prosperity by now.

Automobile, Oil, Insurance, Healthcare, Media, Pharmaceutical, financial and religious Industries run our government now. We must fix it. We need a constitutional amendment that results in extreme measures to separate the special interest lobbying cartel from influencing our government. I have explained a few ways we can start to turn things around. I also propose we start a political organization called:

S.A.F.E.

Or

Save America For Everyone.

Maybe we could form a political party. But I think it is more important that you let every politician know we are not going to accept this rampant ignorance parading itself as our government any more. They must endorse the S.A.F.E. doctrine or they are out of here.
