A "LIFE(?)" of the "Mind"??
As old at this nation (238 years), is the "struggle" between the basic beliefs of its Founders, buried in their respective Religions, that persons of Color, were sub-human; and therefore, worthy of the most brutal forms of DEATH! The EXECUTIONERS, of course were White Males. While Native Peoples were consigned to immediate and violet extermination, Black Slaves and their blood lines were consigned to unending "servitude" to Whites. The Civil War that was fought, 85 years into the "Experiment"; was essentially an economic contest between those white males who did not want to have to "compete" with Slave Labor, and those white males who "benefited" from the Slave System. The TECTONIC SPLIT in the psyche of the early whites: the basic belief that persons of color, were to some extent "less than human"; and therefore, "undesirable"; was not "solved" or settled by the Civil War! It is being "fanned" in our streets, and Courts, today!
Today (2014), as the entire World is reeling under the weight of this basic belief, the SPLIT remains in this nation, and is expressed most vociferously by the Republican Party and its surrogates. The First Black President thought, naively, that he could "heal" that SPLIT; now called our "NATIONAL DIVIDE". He has moved us beyond the place Abraham left us; but it is by no measure adequate to today's need!
As we drift farther away from our paths toward Science, Reason, and "Fair Play" that produced the "America" touted in our literature and our Education and Religious teachings; it becomes clear that the deficits in our past attempts to produce a competent public, capable of governing itself in times of stress, HAVE PRODUCED SERIOUS FAILURES!
Powerful Religious and Economic forces have joined (Globally) to "farm" the minds of whites; driving them back toward the Middle, or "Dark" Ages of their past ancestry from Europe. As a result, the Middle East is about to explode; as younger generations there will no longer take the "crap"! Within the "strongest nation", the decline of the "MIND", in favor of its reliance on passions and "bloody appeals" to the HEARTS of whites has progressed rapidly!
Enter the role of technological advances since 1939: Immediately, the pace of technological advance was much greater than the ability of the "People" to consume it intelligently; with reason and safety. This could be the greatest damage the Cold War produced! Economic gain quickly took over; "Science", and/or "Reason" have been trashed! The vile preachment s of persons like Ann Coulter, Sarah Palin, and similarly-minded females, rattles the "MIND". (So much for the socially superior roles that "women" can be expected to play??) Their appeal to the rawest, most racist, emotions, connected to "blood lines" and similar "primate-level" urges, matches those in parts of our world where, understandably, Religion and Tribal Rule have held sway. The rapid deterioration of the United States of America by some of its powerful white citizens, for Political and Economic gains, does not produce much hope for Mankind in the years ahead!
Stay Vigilant! What is in your "Mind" Who is manipulating it? Will you lose all "control"??
