OUR NEGLECTED AND FORSAKEN YOUTH

While riding on the subway this week I noticed a woman sitting next to me reading a report concerning the behavior of preschoolers. I mentioned that the main issue with preschoolers was that they didn’t have mothers at home to provide the love and nurturing that children that age require. She challenged me and in a militant manner but the subway had reached my stop and we couldn’t continue the discussion.

That event reminded me of the comments made by a Kenyan woman who I know regarding Western thought. She said wherever Western man goes he disturbs what is natural and then creates a “fix it” mentality to deal with what he has disrupted.

Her viewpoint becomes readily apparent upon addressing the condition of our youth today. At least one million of our youth belong to street gangs. Girls at the ages of 10 and 11 have sex clubs in grade school, even in parochial schools. Pregnancies now occur to 40% of teenagers. A government statistic indicates that America has the most violent boys n the world. These are but a few of the many illustrations of decadent conditions that prevail among our youth.

The cause of these conditions has been the destruction of the natural family environment necessary for the development of children. 90% of gang members come from broken homes, as do 90% of the men in prison. 24 million children go to bed at night without a father in the home. Only 12% of our 18 year-olds live with both their natural parents. For all practical considerations the family has been destroyed in America and the effects can be readily seen among our confused, lonely, and misdirected youth.

Getting back to the woman on the subway with her report on the behavior of preschoolers, the raising of children by the state is not something of recent development. In his Republic, Plato calls for the turning over of all babies to the State with the resultant abandonment of the family structure. Government control of all aspects of the life of its citizens is inherent in Western thought and is contrary to natural order. Whatever is contrary to the natural order deteriorates; our children were raised in an un-natural environment and their condition has deteriorated.

Our children require love and nurturing when they are young and guidance and discipline when they are older. The natural way for them to receive this is through their mothers and fathers. We have denied our children the warmth and security of the home. They have been forsaken. Most of you who are reading this have been forsaken. The deliberate breakdown of the family began more than two generations back and it has affected most of society.

Girls no longer understand why they were born females and boys do not understand why they were born males; neither knows their purpose in life. They no longer receive instruction in manhood and womanhood. They no longer dress and act in a manner to attract the opposite sex for the purpose of mating and producing offspring. All standards have deteriorated. Our youth just hangs out together with personal gratification being the only objective or even reward, which is temporary at best. I recall reading an article in which a woman college graduate said, “What’s a date?” She had not been on one date during her time in college—a very sad situation. People have no sense of purpose; that makes for a dull and impotent existence.

The government no longer wants you to behave like men and women but as persons, as automaton production workers and directed consumers. While you do these two functions the government takes over every aspect of your lives. The government might project the image that it cares about you, but only people can love you. Usually the people who love you best are your parents or members of your extended family, but I realize that is not always the case.

When we address the root cause of our forsaken children their condition will improve. The root cause is the absence of the patriarchal structure, which in turn resulted in the destruction of the family. Patriarchy is family. Men make patriarchy. No men. No family.

I ask you all to consider this statement. Either man rules or the government rules, there are no other options. Our forsaken youth are a result of government rule. Don’t you think its time for men to reclaim their manhood and reestablish the family as the focal point of society?

If you do, then review our mission statement and become involved in the promotion and dissemination of our message.

To the women who are reading this article, while I call upon the men to make change, I call upon you to support them and nurture them. They are risking their lives to make a better world for you and your children.

I ask that you review my recent video on this subject.

AMERICA HAS WORLD’S LARGEST PRISON POPULATION

America has more men in prison than any other nation; more than China and India combined and they have more than two billion residents among them. One man in six between the ages of 18 and 30 has a relationship with the law. In the African-American community one man in three in that age groups has a relationship with the law, with the trends worsening.

In 1976 the prison population numbered 250,000, a high figure by world standards. Eight years later in 1984 it had doubled to a half million, by 1992 it had doubled again to one million, and by 2000 it had doubled to two million. It now stands at 2.4 million and growing.

A society that locks up large numbers of its men in prison and has them spend what should be the formative or productive years of their life rotting away in cages, has an oppressive government. Yet, this issue never receives recognition let alone discussion from any political party or member of government at any level, nor even from the supposedly watch dog media. Because of that deliberate oversight I am addressing the issue here and on youtube at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G5_WNrmww1w. Those 2.4 million men in prison are someone’s sons, brothers or fathers. That’s a major issue.

There are all sorts of pretexts upon which to arrest males. Domestic violence, sexual harassment, and accusations of rape are but a few of them. When the new hate crimes legislation gets enacted to supplement these laws we will see a rate of incarceration that will approach the mass production of prisoners.

The government wants all male authority destroyed. It does this by a combined effort of neutering the male and incarcerating him. All laws, employment practices, educational instruction, and family matters are based on gender equality, which the law interprets as gender sameness—an illustration of the gross ignorance and materialistic thought of Western society.

However, in cases of domestic violence—where statistics indicate a true equality of violent acts—the police, who are now required to make arrests on all domestic violence calls, usually arrest the male. In cases of sexual harassment claims, the word of the female is usually taken. The foundation of law—innocent until proven guilty—is reversed in matters of gender issues and the male must prove his innocence. Gender sameness is not practiced in the legal system.

If the male does not comply with the un-natural practice of sameness he is thrust into prison, and as part of his parole or release he is required to attend support groups or counseling which in essence destroys his manhood.

The government has a purpose in promoting and enforcing gender sameness for it assists in destroying the authority of the male. For anything to function in this universe there can only be one assertive influence—one authority. Since by law gender sameness must prevail in the home that translates into a lack of authority. The government has stepped in and made of itself the authority in all matters concerning men, women, and children. In essence it has destroyed the family as the focal point of society leaving it leaderless and begging for the authority of the government.

Our ubiquitous and all pervasive government has brought us to the threshold of tyranny. It could only do this by emasculating and incarcerating our men—our fathers, brothers, and sons.

Will we stand by passively and become engulfed by tyranny, or will we rise to the challenge and join with like-minded people and re-establish among ourselves the natural patriarchal structure of the universe?

SEVEN MAJOR ISSUES AFFECTING US

When I started my public television series 15 years ago I opened each program by listing what I considered to be the seven major issues affecting our society. The list has not changed since I first put it together, but all of the issues have gotten worse. To address these conditions again I made a movie on youtube that lists these seven issues. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xTqIPVwlJA0. I will make seven more movies devoting one to each of the issues. To supplement that series I will cover one of the seven issues in an essay on this website at the same rate at which the movies are made. In this essay I will mention the seven issues and give a brief description of each.

The high incarceration rate of American males is the first and paramount issue. We have 2.4 million men in prison at this time; that’s more total men in prison than China and India have combined. How can we call America the land of the free when we have the highest incarceration rate in the world?

The number of youth in street gangs and involved in a life of crime and debauchery is the second most significant issue. One million of our youth belong to street gangs. Girls are involved in sex clubs before they reach their teens. America has the most violent boys in the world.

The declining state of the well-being of American women represents the third major issue. Debilitating depression is the number one health issue of American women with upwards of as many as 10 million women suffering from that illness. They also have disproportionately high rates of breast cancer.

The high crime rate represents the fourth major issue. We have been told that crime has been reduced at most levels, which is a misleading statistic. The government has swept the streets of our young men and thrown them into prison leaving fewer around to commit crimes. Yet the number of surveillance cameras has increased, the number of security guards has increased, and the number of laws that will lead to more men in prison has increased.

The utter collapse of the educational system represents the fifth major issue. A statistic distributed by the national Association of Scholars indicates that a test given to high school graduates 55 years ago when given to college seniors five years ago resulted in lower scores by the college seniors. In practical terms that means your grandmothers and great-grandmothers who finished high school know more than you do today if you are in college.

The state of the economy represents the sixth issue. During the past 15 years we have been told that we have experienced the largest sustained growth in the economy. If this is true, why are you working longer hours and/or holding down two jobs to stay even? Why are people working into their 70’s? Why do we have an economic health care crisis? The disparity between the top and bottom of the economic ladder has increased tremendously and continues to do so.

The lack of ethics and standards of all sorts represents the seventh issue. A lack of understanding of our purpose in life and the proper conduct to achieve that purpose accounts for the first six issues and other collateral issues such as the destruction of the environment and the health and well-being of society.

These are what I consider to be the most important issues facing us and they are issues that we can do something about. I will describe these issues in more detail in subsequent essays and also recommend courses of action.

THE NEED FOR NURTURING

I have just posted another movie on youtube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZwcaQSuf6z0 regarding nurturing because of the excellent response to the first one on that subject. In posting this second movie I realized that in all my writings I have never devoted an essay or column to the subject of nurturing; therefore, I will use this opportunity to address that all-important and relatively ignored (by myself and society in general) function.

In order for life to survive it requires nurturing. Whatever the form of life, it requires sustenance or it will expire. Everything in our solar system requires the absorption of solar energy in order to not lose its vitality and functionality. This energy produces the air, water and food necessary to sustain life. In addition to the material requirements necessary for nurturing, the unseen quality of love also helps to sustain life. The feminine principle provides the love that accompanies nurturing.

The characteristics of the feminine gender function as attributes that enable it to nurture; however, these wonderful and necessary characteristics have become increasingly ignored as society tends to look upon our nurturing requirements as consisting essentially of food, clothing, and shelter. The courts, in determining child support in custody cases, reduce the nurturing requirements of children to adequate amounts of food, clothing, and shelter. Fathers contribute to this viewpoint by claiming that they can nurture as well as the women. They can’t—they don’t even come close—which we will see as we progress through this essay.

We have been created to grow spiritually and in order to experience this spiritual growth we need to be here, and we can’t be here if we are not nurtured. Hence, the propagation and preservation of the species is the paramount concern and function of all life, and nurturing is its primary activity.

The feminine principle is endowed with characteristics that enable it perform the function of nurturing. These characteristics are universal and can be found wherever the feminine principle is involved in the process of nurturing. Mother Earth and the females of all species possess these characteristics, some of which are: accommodation, adaptability, caring, companionship, consideration, cooperation, diplomacy, friendliness, gentility, giving, harmony, industriousness, informative, materialism, nurturing, receptivity, responsiveness, rhythm, visual thinking, and unconditional love.

I think most people will agree that Mother Earth is accommodating, adaptable, nurturing, receptive, responsive, and unconditional in her giving. So are women. These characteristics enable nurturing. These attributes provide sustenance above and beyond the materialistic concept of food, clothing, and shelter. They express love and care.

Mother’s will stay up all night working to bring down the fever of one child and then get up early in the morning to get the other children off to school and the husband off to work. Mothers remember birthdays, anniversaries, graduations, and buy appropriate gifts for these occasions. They decorate the home and provide the social circle to be entertained in it. It is said that a man lives in the home that his wife creates and in the social environment that she develops.

Mothers participate in the PTA, the Cub Scouts, and the Girl Scouts, and become involved in a host of activities that these organizations generate. They spend a lot of time buying just the right food for dinner, just the right belt for her husband’s pants, or the right mittens for her child. A woman’s full-time activity revolves around nurturing.

No man can continually perform in the nurturing manner of a woman. To do so would be contrary to his physical, mental, and spiritual nature. A man is contemplative not responsive, He initiates and is not receptive. His characteristics are opposites of a woman’s.

The nature of a woman’s characteristics endow her with the ability to nurture the race, but they do not endow her with the ability to create the environment and means to conduct this nurturing. They do not endow her with the traits to create a safe, secure, and moral structure in which her nurturing can take place.

There is no such entity as a free and independent feminine anything in this universe. Every planet has a Sun to rotate around; every electron has a nucleus to rotate around, every lioness belongs to a pride and every doe belongs to a herd. The male of all species provides the environment and the means that enables the female to nurture. Ignorance of this fact has brought about the downfall of the family and made the government an ineffective substitute male. This matter will be dealt with in another essay.

For now, let us clearly understand that the feminine principle was designed to nurture. Men are not substitutes for nurturing; they are enablers of nurturing.

DOMESTIC VIOLENCE VICTIMS REDEFINED

The following is an excerpt from a Glenn Sacks newsletter of October 15, 2008:

California attorney Marc Angelucci scored a tremendous victory today as the Third District Court of Appeal in Sacramento ruled that California’s exclusion of men from domestic violence services violates men’s constitutional equal protection rights.
The taxpayer lawsuit -- Woods. v. Shewry -- was initially filed in 2005 by four male victims of domestic violence.
In 2007, Sacramento Superior Court Judge Lloyd Connelly dismissed the case, ruling that men are not entitled to equal protection regarding domestic violence because they statistically are not similarly situated with women.
Today the Court of Appeal reversed that decision and held:
The gender classifications in Health and Safety Code section 124250 and Penal Code section 13823.15, that provide state funding of domestic violence programs that offer services only to women and their children, but not to men, violate equal protection.

Chuck Correy, President of the Equal Justice Foundation also reported this case in an Email dated October 14, 2008, which I excerpt here:

SAN DIEGO, CA - 00/00/00 - Today the Third District Court of Appeal in Sacramento ruled California's exclusion of men from domestic violence violates men's constitutional equal protection rights.

Harry Crouch, a San Diego child custody coach and President of the National Coalition of Free Men (NCFM), a men's rights organization that filed and backed the plaintiffs, said: "All victims need services regardless of gender. Services should be need-based, not gender-based. This decision can profoundly affect on the equal treatment of victims."

For those who are not familiar with Glenn Sacks and Chuck Correy, they contribute to public awareness of domestic issues, especially as they impact negatively on men and the institution of the family. Glenn does it through his newsletter, radio and television interviews, and through other vehicles that present him an opportunity. Chuck is a well-known attorney and fights these issues in the Colorado courtrooms, has an internet mailing list, and uses other media when available. Both men are indefatigable workers devoted to drawing attention to what they perceive as wrong regarding legal domestic issues. They are both enthusiastic about the Court of Appeal decision as it might serve as a milestone for future domestic violence issues in other states.

I would be remiss if I did not acknowledge Harry Couch’s efforts here, for his perseverance has been the force that made this legal decision possible.

Having acknowledged the efforts that went into this case and allowed that the Court of Appeal decision could have far reaching effects, my feelings about the event are less than enthusiastic; they have not even reached the level of tepidity. I could never express enthusiasm for a system that makes the government the head of the relationship between a man and a woman; that reduces man to a wage earner—a donkey on the treadmill of production—while it takes over the responsibility of the propagation and preservation of the species.

Western thought which is feminine always looks outside of itself for help in resolving it issues. It calls upon the government, religion, money, and the medical establishment for its survival. For the most part Western man has a Biblical orientation but he seems not to understand its message. Regarding government Jesus said to render unto Caesar that which is Caesar’s and unto God that which is God’s. He worked outside of the religious structure. Regarding money he said, “What does it suffer a man to gain the whole world and lose his own soul?” We have gained the whole world and lost our own souls. Regarding the medical establishment, Jesus healed every form of sickness brought to him and told us greater things than these we could do. With all these directions Western thought still relies outside of itself for resolution all of its issues. Paul said, “There is no single gift that you have not received,” but this message still has not sunk into the Western psyche, which is feminine and wants to be cared for.

This inability to do for ourselves has permeated the national consciousness. We beg to be enslaved. We want universal health care, universal education, a right to a home and a job. We can’t change or initiated anything anymore. I have referred to ground zero as the true symbol of America—a large vagina. For years the New York papers have contained editorials asking why can’t we get an erection. The reason we can’t get an erection is because vaginas don’t get erections. Regarding the men—this is the land of Viagra—we can’t get it up.

In order for any system to function there can only be one authority. There is only one God, one Sun in the Solar system, one captain of a ship, and one head of a family. I elaborated on this concept in an eight minute length movie on youtube, which can be seen on “elder george patriarchy part 2.” The one authority in American life is the government, not the man. The IRS permits the filing of head of household tax returns by two or more homosexuals living together or by two or more lesbians living together, but not by a man living with his wife. That’s something to reflect upon. A greater reflection is to wonder why Western man accepts this situation.

Whether it’s Joe Biden’s Violence against women act or the ruling of the court of appeals case mentioned in this article, they both verify that man is no longer the head of the household; the government is. I cannot be enthusiastic about any event that takes away form man his natural and ordained rulership and reduces him to a work unit.

For those who don’t like being reduced to a donkey on the treadmill of production, who are uncomfortable with Western style emasculation, and who believe that family should be the focus on society and that it can only come about by male leadership and authority, Men’s Action to Rebuild Society offers you a vehicle for change. To make use of this vehicle requires a commitment to discard conventional thinking and assert your manliness. Are you up to it?

LOVE GOD AND BE KIND

All the great spiritual teachings that have been handed down to us can be distilled into the words Love God and be kind.

Jesus said, “Love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your mind, and love your neighbor as yourself.” Hillel, the great teacher of the Talmud when asked by a man to tell him everything he needed to know about the Talmud in the length of time he could stand on one foot replied, “Don’t do to another what you wouldn’t want another to do to you, the rest is just commentary.” The essence of all spiritual teachings is to enable us to love God and be kind. The deepest thinking theologians and the most enlightened masters can do no more than love God and be kind, nor can priests and monks in monasteries throughout the world do more than love God and be kind.

Ritual and tradition do not determine the righteousness of man. The Koran states, “Righteousness does not consist of whether you face East or West.” Nor does it depend on which day is considered the Sabbath, for East and West and one day or another day are relativities based on the movement of the Sun. Every moment in time is holy. Every place in God’s universe is holy. Every person is holy. We are a holy people standing in a holy place, at a holy time. Now. Right now. The only difference between the next person and ourselves is how we manifest our holiness—how we manifest our kindness.

To those who love God and exhibit kindness all things shall be made known and all power given. Fear and anxiety do not rest in the mind of the man who loves God; nor does envy reside in the heart of he who is kind. The man who loves God and acts kindly also gives generously to others for he knows that he has everything. Spiritual scriptures advise us to live life abundantly in the sense that when we love God and act kindly we have complete abundance. Giving to others is merely sharing the infinite abundance that God has bestowed upon us. God speaking through the prophet Jeremiah said, “I have given you everything.” St. Paul said, “There is no single thing that you have not received.” The Koran states, “All is from God.” The Bhagavad-Gita, The Tao, and the teachings of the Buddha all state that God has given us everything. Having received everything from God it is only natural that we should love him and in turn be kind to others.

This understanding varies greatly from Western thought which calls for earning as much money as possible and keeping as much as we can. We teach our children to go to school, get an education, find a job, make some money, and be somebody. We teach them to amass money and put it somewhere where it will work—where the money will make more money. Yet those whose lives depend on making money to make money do not seem to exhibit happiness. A look at the photos of stock traders after a sharp decline in world markets whether on Wall Street, Germany, Japan or in other trading locals throughout the world will show them looking shaken, demoralized, stunned, and filled with anxiety. Are they without food, clothing, or shelter? No. They have lost some vaporous commodity called wealth measured by a man made gauge called money. They worship a god called mammon and their lives bounce from euphoria to depression, from exaltation to angst. If only they would love God and be kind.

A society that worships the accumulation of material things cannot be kind. Consequently it abuses and institutionalizes its own. America has 2.4 million men in living in cages (in prison), it has 3.6 million senior citizens living in poverty, and a half million children living in foster care. 24 million children go to bed at night in a home without a father in it. Children are placed in day care centers as soon as they can walk, and the rate at which parents abandon their children by dropping them off at hospitals has reached unprecedented levels. Why can’t we care for our fellow man, our aged, and our children? We’re too busy accumulating material things and fighting to hang on to them. We have torn down the natural patriarchal structure designed for the propagation and preservation of the species and supplanted it with a societal structure designed for self-indulgence. Family has been destroyed in our quest to obtain wealth. We are not God focused and have become unkind not only to others, but also to ourselves.

Our lack of kindness extends to the environment as well. Nature does not make waste. All of nature gets recycled. Only man makes waste. The materialistic development of the earth has created waste heretofore undreamt of. We have made waste of plastics, highly refined metals, and the byproducts of power generating plants. Our waste is engulfing us. The generation of this waste is not done by kindness; it is done by an ignorance of environmental balance coupled with the desire to acquire material things. The pollution caused by petrochemicals dumped in the air, on the land, and in our waterways is further evidence of our ignorance of the environment and lack of kindness to the earth that sustains our life. A person who loves God will love all creation and will not abuse it. Western thought has caused the desecration of the earth.

Western thought has developed a system of education whether from pre-kindergarten to the most prestigious universities, that focuses on the world that man—especially Western man—made and ignores the world that God made. If we love God we will study and live in the world that God made. Western thought loves the works of its own hand and ignores the works of the hand of God. Western thought does not teach to love God and be kind. It motivates people to be self-indulgent and selfish.

There is no need to be angry or resentful of the abuse that Western thought has rent upon this earth. The universe always operates in accordance with the divine order. Just as the body rejects toxins, the earth rejects pollutants, and the spirit rejects that which is not beneficial to the growth of the soul. All that is not in harmony with the spirit and nature will pass. It always does. Those who worship wealth and the material world look toward the outside. Those who do not have material wealth—either by design or circumstance—look within. The kingdom of God is within and endures, whereas the material world passes. So it is those who are meek—those who have learned to love God and be kind—who shall survive and inherit the earth.

To express anger and hatred towards our fellow man is to not understand the nature of the functioning of the universe, nor does it indicate a love of God. All inappropriate action (which we tend to call evil or sin) results from ignorance. If we knew better we would do better. We can only do that which we understand. The ignorance of Western thought is that it does not understand the universal principle of gender from which all activity originates. It is imbalanced, has a feminine materialistic orientation and lacks the masculine attributes necessary for survival and growth; consequently it is imploding. This society will pass and a more enlightened society will spring up that will also have its lessons to learn but will bring us closer to loving God and being kind.

Loving God and being kind cannot be done passively. We speak of “acts of kindness” and “acts of love.” Men’s Action to Rebuild Society calls for action. It calls for rebuilding society. It projects its kindness by presenting the natural patriarchal structure and way of life in a readily understandable manner so that humankind will become empowered and live more harmoniously.

If you believe that family is the fundamental unit of all life (patriarchy is family) and want to express your kindness by supporting efforts to create a family renaissance you can do this by contributing your time, talents, and treasure to Men’s Action. Your acts of kindness will help enable it to increase its outreach to humankind. Whatever your decision, always remember to Love God and Be Kind.

WHY SWEAT PALIN?

The motivation for the article below came from reading an article by Sam Harris entitled When Atheists Attack, which appeared in the September 29, 2008 issue of Newsweek

Hi Sam,

Congratulations on your exceptionally informative article in Newsweek entitled When Atheists Attack.

You have a command of language and literary skill that enables you to clearly and forcefully present your message or—as was unintended in this article—support a contrary message. You built a case for an opposing viewpoint better than I could.

You stated, “Half the electorate revels in Palin’s lack of intellectual qualifications.” What are intellectual qualifications Sam, who decides upon them? Western man has always found that indigenous people lacked intellectual qualifications; he then proceeded to destroy their societal structure and impose a way of life based upon his “intellectual” knowledge. He took people away from their understanding of nature and unseen spiritual forces and forced them to rely on grossly materialistic and myopic values, which brought about their social degeneration.

You question Palin’s ability to confront issues like “nuclear proliferation, ongoing wars in Afghanistan and Iraq, global climate change, a convulsing economy, emerging epidemics, Russian belligerence, the deterioration of American schools, and failures of energy, etc.” Western man created all of these conditions Sam, and they were not the Palin’s of society, they were the elitists.

You ask, “What doesn’t she know about financial markets, modern weapons systems, medical research, environmental science or emerging technology?” What’s to know Sam? Financial markets are the development of materialistic Western thinking. Contrary to sacred economic beliefs, they do nothing to help their fellow man. Regarding weapons systems, everything Western man ever developed has ultimately become a weapon. Why medical research? Man was designed to be healthy. The pollution of his way of life has created illness. I bet you believe vaccinations prevent disease.

Let’s look at a religious sect called the Pennsylvania Dutch whose members do not vaccinate their children, who do not use modern methods of farming, who do not send their children to public school beyond the eighth grade, who in general are far removed from elitist values. Their children do not get autism, they do not have high mortality rates of childhood diseases, they do not have divorce, and they live well, so well that they have expanded their influence to 28 states. Also, they do not have the phenomenal rates of depression experienced by the intellectual elite and their “liberated” followers.

You opine that Palin “Is as devout and literal-minded in her Christian dogmatism as any man or woman in the land.” Is she more literal minded and dogmatic than the elitists? Literalism and dogmatism emanate from the European, feminine, materialistic psyche. Science, which is nothing more than Western man’s somewhat orderly record of his ignorance about himself and the universe in which he lives, is dogmatic. Have your ever wondered why only Western man has theories? It’s because he doesn’t know anything; his ignorance continually motivates him to conduct studies. Then he pontificates on the results of these studies and creates aristocracies built upon the data of these studies.

You stated, “Teen pregnancy is a misfortune, plain and simple. At best, it represents bad luck (both for the mother and the child): at worst, as in the Palin’s case, it is a symptom of religious dogmatism.” Pregnancy is not caused by bad luck or by religious dogmatism; it is caused by sexual activity. It is indeed a misfortune for unwed teenage girls to engage in that activity. Regarding Palin’s opposition to sex education, as Tammy Bruce explained in her book, The Death of Right and Wrong, sex education today has become sexual education. We not only teach children “alternate lifestyles” we teach them how to participate in it. Sex clubs now exist among girls 10 and 11 years old and they perform acts that even prostitutes of old didn’t. The New York City school system hands out free condoms to all its students, an activity that derives from a complete lack of values caused by Western ignorance of the purpose of human existence. At least Palin is making an attempt at upholding fundamental moral principles while acknowledging human frailty.

You continue with the statement, “Palin seems capable of enacting policies so detached from the common interests of humanity, and from empirical reality, as to unite the entire world against us.” Isn’t most of the world united against us now? If not why do we have such a big war machine? Why do we have legions spread all over the globe? By the way Sam, there is no such thing as empirical reality. Empiricism is a construct of the myopic materialistic Western mind.

Getting back to your real concern, that McCain could be elected, and die in office. Let’s say that your opinions about Palin are right; that she is a twit, an airhead, and/or a vacuous political aberration. So what? As Professor Steven Goldberg indicated in his book, Why Men Rule, at the time of the great Queens of Europe, the power was always firmly ensconced in the hands of men. Today increasing numbers of women have positions in government, but nevertheless, the analogy will still hold—power will be firmly ensconced in the various branches and departments of the government.

In the final analysis Sam, it makes no difference who becomes president. We are witnessing the end of Western society. You gave short shrift to the concept of a greater power acting behind the materialistic activities and understanding of Western man. That view is another example of the dogmatic ignorance of Western society, especially propounded by the elitists. Whether the prediction in 1139 by Saint O’Morgir in Ireland that there would be 150 more Popes the last of which would be a Benedictine (Pope Benedict is the 150th from that date); the Mayan Calendar, which calls for a massive upheaval in December 2012; the Christian Armageddon; the Islamic “end of times”, the end of the feminine Piscean age, or just realizations of awakened individuals—Western society is collapsing.

The entire premise of your elitist thinking is of a finite material world run by superior individuals who make of themselves high priests. That view stems from European thought, which is feminine, materialistic, and aristocratic. There is another world out there Sam, and it functions outside of technology, science, Wall Street, the universities, and government. Get to know it; then you won’t be so worried about who becomes president.

You will also learn that the primary activity of humankind is the propagation and preservation of the species as part of its journey of spiritual growth. Men provide the environment and means for women to bring life into this world and nurture it. The structure through which they do it is called patriarchy—the natural structure of the universe. To make patriarchy work requires an expression of male assertiveness; an activity that Western man in general and the elitists in particular are loath to engage in.
