10. one man's truth is another man's lies......
....all is an illusion....regardless of who writes what...history and hindsight brings us to the present...where nothing has been learned and applied to rectify the suffering of people...the paradox of life itself...is death...in it's many forms and the excuses given are the very same...now as was ago...we've just invented new and improved ways of killing one another regardless of what intricate picture or story is woven around it for our enlightenment...or accurately stated...our entertainment.

12. I'm sure there were many before us through out millennia who've...
....rallied...railed and smited...yet time ticks into the future and the same thing happening now has happened many times before and the results are the very same....the meek are still in the same proverbial shit they always were and the haves and have mores..decide our fate...I see nothing different in the present...that I've learned about the past...knowledge has always been for the select few and the *truth* has never set enough free to make a difference in the grand scheme of things for long enough...curiosity kills...satisfaction breeds contempt..the cycle or circle remains unbroken.

32. in light of my local news report last night....what would you do here?
....here in northeast Louisiana....they showed 4 Hummer type vehicles on the news last night...painted on them was MILITARY POLICE...the news brief said our city chief of police called 'em in to *help out* the thousands who've had to move up here suddenly...oddly I couldn't find one word about it on any local news websites this morning though...maybe they're assuming riots or wanted to use fear factor tactics to quell any possible *unrest* by using that as some sort of warning to would be criminals...regardless they showed tankish looking vehicles with Military Police painted on them and claimed they were asked to come here by the Monroe PD...lookin' like the Third Reich around these parts...as things change...so they stay the same...if they think they'll be needing military police presence in light of the exedous of displaced people to this area...not a *hopeful* sign that good things are on the way for the homeless shelters in Ouachita Parish in the months to come.

With shit like this goin' down in my own backyard...my cynicism knows no bounds and I have to resign to the fact that no matter how hard we've tried to end this sort of inhumane treatment of others...the reality remains that people are most definitely NOT created equal nor treated equally...never have been...and never will be...there has to be the poor and destitude for there to be extremely rich...same as it ever was or will be...a paradox that remains to this day..unresolved.

34. i believe people ARE created equal, but
i agree that they are not treated equal. and i believe that ONLY if EACH OF US does our inner work bettering ourselves to be the most compassionate and tolerant and loving people as possible, only then will the class distinctions, war, greed, etc, disappear, and equality will take their places.

37. Perspectives.....
...written history and life...in and of itself...has never been able to show any long term achievement in that regard....until everyone suffers equally then and only then does small change happen for the better for the majority of people...it's unification in human suffering on massive scales..that brief progress is made for all involved...that's all that has proved to be true...time and time again.

23. Great article Will
I was talking about this with my wife this weekend.

You speak to the problem we all face in the wake of a generation of neglect.
