why are we here?

      While I don't know, I do have a a few theories. Purely chance. Or we were seeded here as an experiment. Now let's look at both theories. A-cum's Razor say's that the simplest explanation is the one that's most likely to be true. Now it's up to decide which makes the most sense.

    Chance in my opinion makes the most sense. We've been hit by numerous comets and meteors which we now know carry water and the most basic's of the beginning of life. Is it really so hard to believe in evolution?

    Now if we were seeded here, by GOD or aliens I feel is more unlikely. While their are many planets out there, they would have to be many years ahead of us in technology just to get here. But this should not be completely discounted as many civilizations have records showing them knowledge of astronomy and mathematics's during antiquity. I don't believe for a minute that these were fabricated or made up, these people drew what they believe they saw. Take the Sumerians as an example, provided they have been dated properly, it's a clear sign that some thing ex-terrestrial in nature had an influence. So I am not writing that theory off, my only problem is why haven't they come back? I believe UFO's are real but why not come down and shake hands? Only in experiments do you merely observe your experiment.

     So what's the answer, I have no idea. I being one who believes in empirical data. I tend to go for the scientific explanation of the world. Let me know what your thoughts are, whether you agree or disagree...

American Exceptionalism

     [American Exceptionalism] Who first came up with this bullshit slogan. Are we so arrogant to think we are the king of the world? Our military does far exceed any other nations on Earth. As far as moral high ground, I think we have a long way to go.

     Technically America is an Empire and as so many in the past have fallen so will we. Before you say love it or leave it, I am a Patriot and it's been said since this country was formed we [The People] must always be prepared to defend ourselves against the tyranny of the state. We have so many Government agencies [ many do redundant tasks] that it's hard to know who is doing what. Even worse who is controlling what they are doing?

     Our last President who actually showed compassion, decency, respect and true leadership was LBJ. After that Nixon finally made it in and his China visit notwithstanding all but admitted he was a failure. Ford was, well lets just say a klutz. Carter got screwed before he could get anything done because of those damn Iranians. Then the 80's kicked in and we had a puppet movie star. It was Reagan BTW who started the whole anti union thing when he fired all the striking ATC's. I knew then it was the beginning of the end for unions. You also thank him for the beginnings of deregulation. Bush Sr. did a fairly good job. Clinton came in and continued where Reagan left off, but he did get us a lot of jobs. Bush Jr. should be stricken from the Presidential roles as Dick Cheney was his puppet master. This brings us to Obama.  He'll get a few more things done in his second term but not everything promised.

     No President since LBJ will ever be able to take Congress in hand and tell them to get off the asses and remember who they work for. Many Politicians today are so concerned with power and therefore money that they will do or say just about anything to hang on to those cushy jobs of theirs. America is going through a growth spurt [not in economic prosperity] but maturity. And the kids of today are learning their lessons from the likes of M. Romney, the Koch brothers, Mr. Adelson and hundreds of other old white men who yearn for the 1950's. Or they are so hung up playing t-ball or guitar hero that they don't realize losing is a part of life.   You keep shielding your kids from the real world, one of two things will occur in the next 200 years. They will believe the American Exceptionalism model and keep trying to turn the whole world into some kind of world america or we will be back in caves. Why caves, because when you have 1 guy bigger than everyone else, sooner or later the bully will push them too far and they'll all gang up on you!
