How come you didn't mention OPEC? Or is there a reason it should not be included? Are we simply having a limited discussion here.

Goose, you lost me. But that is easy when it comes to these matters. But as I see it, Opec merely manipulates policies already set in motion by the dirty capitalist pigs. And they are quite adept at it. Peace

Nope I think you both lost me on this one because I fail to see how religion fits into it.

Oh well C'est la vie or was la guerre? Hm! not sure which is appropriate here.

R. W. Emerson use to confuse me too. That was until I realized he was a Buddhist heart and soul. Peace

I don't think the topic has anything to do with what R.W. Emerson thought or believed. Perhaps you can enlighten us on how it relates I would be glad to hear your thoughts on the subject.

Goose, I try not to Christianize knowledge. It is something I leave to the theologians who have not the desire to practice Christian virtues. Now, being the transcendentalist that he was, Emerson was forever seeking to transmute general knowledge into religious wisdom-an art he learned from studying Hunduism and Buddhism. It is all so obvious in his works on Dualism and the master piece, Self-Reliance. Peace

I personally feel that Nature was his masterpiece myself. Do you not think it relates here more appropriately?

On one hand we have a poster generelazing historics events and claiming they are a Western plot, discrediting the ideals of many for one sole means to achieve some sort of power or domination. To cloud the truth and to lead others farther from the truth. Or do you believe there are other motives beyond his post?

I am still awaiting his answer as you can see and I suspect many others would like to hear how he perceives the correlation of all these events.

Right now he has clouded the picture to an extent that I doubt only a fanatic could begin to comprehend the reality of what he has posted.

Let me try an explanation closer to home as a means of illustrating his viewpoint. _____________________________________________ For a number of years now, America has been going through a vicious and soul destroying cultural war. The official name for it is Political Correctness and it shakes out as multiculturalism. What it is in essence is Marxism takened from the economic and applied to the social. It is an all-out attack on every aspect of Judeo-Christian (Western) cultural. The result is the turning of the whole country into a cultural sewer wherein there are no longer any truths as I knew growing up. America has been destroyed, and the country is verging on a collaspe of gigantic proportions. It will happen within a few years. Millions of people see it coming and are scared to death. Wake Up is but one person sounding the alarm. He/she realizes that the fall will have deadly global consequences. I hope I'm halfway clear on this. Peace

Ah! That old story I remember from twenty years ago. People still are arguing that. Guess I'll do my shopping elsewhere.

Nice thing about Capitalism Is I get my choice of places to shop.
