The Three Tenets of Existential Terrorism

Words are not things or actions. They are vibrations of the air molecules or squiggles on a page. Mistaking words for reality is the mistake that puts politicians in office and sells all of the products, religions, and systems of government on the planet. Saying "Tree" is no more a tree than saying "I love you" means that someone loves you. To perceive reality as it is, one must accept that words are a vehicle for the transference of our perception of reality, not reality itself.
God is dead. I killed him (it, them, her, et al) on November 5th, 1991. Justifiable Homicide. The idea that the universe is run by some cosmic supra-hero concept of ourselves is absurd and unproven. The idea that the creator of the universe put us here in these bodies to satisfy some moral experiment is offensive. The God question; "What are we doing here?", may or may not be valid. At this time, we are here because the physical laws of the universe are not completely against our existence. Our short time of consciousness would be far better served ensuring our survival rather than posturing before some misanthropic cosmic deity.
The only government, the only rule of law, is economics. However our societies are structured, whatever religion or ethnicity, we have all decided that those with relatively more assets have better lives than those with less relative wealth. All measured value is economic value in this system.

Why the government is corrupt


It is not difficult to explain why the government is without integrity, or why it has spent over 16 trillion dollars it doesn't have.  Elected officials have no negative reinforcement.  They are not culpable except in extreme individual cases.  No matter what occurs, they will still get their pay, pensions, benefits, and influence which they can exchange for further financial benefit.  There are no metrics on which their job or pay will hang in the balance.  90% will be re-elected.  They will be re-elected by people who are as singular in the desire to meet their own needs at the expense of the community as are the people they elect.
