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.

Inauguration; i.e. Coronation



The spectacle that was the inauguration was a glaring, albeit unnoticed example of the reason we are in decline as a society.  Obama was hired, not consecrated.  He now has a job which we pay him to do.  All of the nonsense and all of the rhetoric of the inauguration day served only to entertain the masses and suggest that Obama is anything but a man hired to do a job.  The masses love doing this.  They love taking someone with one set of talents and endowing them with god-like attributes.  They do it for sports heroes, pop stars, actors, and politicians.  The True Believers lie salivating at the altar of the cult of personality: They love Big Brother.
