Continued: UPDATE & THOUGHTS (4/26/2015) us than they will continue to kill, maim, torture, steal, rob, cheat, lie, and attempt to destroy our lives. I would rather be dead than live under such fear. A solution is needed though. Like I said, using the U.S. government training I received to bring about justice will not do in this case. Although I was trained to be a killer and to kill my enemies, I know that such an act would be pointless and would not bring about the necessary changes that would keep my children and grandchildren safe from these criminals. I do think the officers (or FEMA workers) involved in this attack should lose their jobs and go to prison for a very long time, but I know no judge has the balls to actually do their job and lock these thugs behind bars where they belong. I know using the justice system to try and bring about justice would only be a waste of my time. What is needed is something even bigger. Something more earth shattering and systemic changing. What is needed is more than just an alliance of do-gooders trying to make positive change. What is needed is a complete dismantling of the system and a new one put in it’s place. There are already some great ideas about how to go about doing this. The movie Zeitgeist is a perfect example of the alternatives we could use if we only put our minds to it. There is no real reason for us to be exploited by the elite one percent, other than for them to hold on to their positions of power. We have the technology, the capacity, and the means to live without war, police violence, and slave labor. There is no reason for us to be controlled by fear anymore. Our city centers is where we should start. Let’s replace the bars, banks, and bail bond businesses in our downtowns that help perpetuate this inept system with health food stores, libraries, urban farms, parks, recreational facilities, and multicultural centers. Let’s let the robots do the slave labor while we do the things that build community and create peace. Let’s demand that we are valued as human beings and that all of our time on this planet be treated as it is just as important as the net persons’. Sure, there are bad apples out there who want war and destruction and power over all else, but they are the few and the weak. As the population grows beyond seven billion there will be more Hitlers, and Stalins, and Bushs, but there will also be more Ghandis and Dali Lamas and Mother Teresas. Humans are driven by love much more than by fear, so we know who the true dominant types are - it’s just a matter of coming together now. Through our conscious efforts we can bring peace to this planet. We can make the systemic changes that prevent criminals from infiltrating the ranks of the protectors of the peace. We can stop the psychopaths from rising to power, and we can create a system that creates more opportunities and successes. We can rise up and change the world! All we need is to awaken from our slumber, see through the lies, and seek freedom from the mental slavery we’ve become so accustomed to. All we need is to c
