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.
