Transcript:
The world is like a ride in an amusement park, and when you choose to go on it you think it’s real because that’s how powerful our mind are. Coleman-Zachs Investment Bank The ride goes up and down, around and around. David Zachs - CEO It has thrills and chills, and it’s very brightly coloured, and it’s very loud, and it’s fun for a while. Many people have been on the ride a long time, and they begin to wonder… Is this real, or is this just a ride? And other poeple have remembered, and they come back to us and say… YouTube Bill Hicks - Revelations Bill: Hey, don’t worry. Don’t be afraid, ever. Because this is just a ride. And we… …kill those people. Boss: SHUT HIM UP! I’ve got a lot invested in this ride. Shut him up! Boss: Look at my furrows of worry! COLEMAN-ZACHS “Look at my big bank account and my family.” THIS HAS TO BE REAL! It’s just a ride. But we always kill the good guys who try and tell us that, you ever notice that? And let the demons run amok. LEHMAN BROTHERS LLOYDS BANKING GROUP CREDIT SWISSE CITI JPMorganC But it doesn’t matter, because it’s just a ride. And we can change it any time we want. ! It’s only a choice. No effort, no work, no job, no savings of money. Just a simple choice, right now… Coleman-Zach Investment Bank Just a simple choice, right now… …between fear and love. The eyes of fear want you to put bigger locks on your doors, buy guns, close yourself off. The eyes of love instead see all of us as one. Here’s what we can do to change the world, right now, to a better ride. ZACHS FOUNDATION Take all that money we spend on weapons and defenses each year and instead spend it feeding and clothing and educating the poor of the world… ZACHS FOUNDATION STAGE ONE FOOD DISTRIBUTION STAGE TWO HOUSING & INFRASTRUCTURE STAGE THREE FREE EDUCATION …which it would pay for many times over, not one human being excluded. TIME PERSON OF THE DECADE And we could explore space together… CLAP CLAP CLAP …both inner and outer… …forever… …in peace. - Bill Hicks

That would work very well, except we’re working with humans.

Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired signifies in the final sense, a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold and are not clothed. This world in arms is not spending money alone. It is spending the sweat of its laborers, the genius of its scientists, the hopes of its children. This is not a way of life at all in any true sense. Under the clouds of war, it is humanity hanging on a cross of iron.

The above speech was made shortly after the death of Joseph Stalin in an attempt to dissuade the Soviet Union from an arms race. We can see how that worked out.

I have posted this before, but is seems as if we need a reminder. I cannot change the world, my nation, my state, but I can make my part of my city better. I have chosen to do that by working with the homeless, those who have been abandoned by our society. Unfortunately it seems as if our society is intent on making more homeless, and cussing those who try to help. “Stop feeding those worthless human garbage!!” San Diego is MY town, there’s no Worthless Human Garbage in MY town. If there is a need we will feed.
You can make a difference in YOUR town. Find something that needs done and speaks to your soul. . . Do That!! Others will see your kindness and be drawn to help you. You will become a beacon of light in the darkness. As more people get involved in kindness just as Gavin Aung Than has illustrated, together we can push the darkness back.
Blessings to All

It’s not that we can’t feed the hungry. It’s that we can’t satisfy the wealthy.
