I am deeply disturbed about my country losing its soul…we are all responsible for this…and there is no devil out there…
It hasn’t lost it’s soul, it was taken… we were robbed. People that should have leadership, don’t. People that shouldn’t, do.
I think the citizens are responsible in a democracy…congress is supposed to serve us…we have not insisted on good leaders…
look at what money will buy us in 2016…we need a MORAL REVOLUTION…non violent because human beings are more important than
money and machines…
I don’t think people can/would win with a non-violent revolution. Most of the citizens are uninformed or misinformed. People are manipulated through their emotions/information. I’d be a leader, but that isn’t really possible without “college”. They set standards of which should not be there.
Non-violent, we live in a police state pretty much.
The cycle that police use is this. Fear > Irrationality > Excuse for police brutality (Due to "irrational behavior, of which was forced on by them in the first place) > More fear
It hasn’t lost it’s soul, it was taken… we were robbed. People that should have leadership, don’t. People that shouldn’t, do.

what about ghandi and ml king…we need to let ordinary people know they cant change anything unless they try effectively…in order to be effective you need the masses on board…the masses are now in a sorry state…in order to be successful you need to work from the bottom up… not wait for some miracle…or some message from god…
Martin Luther was shot and killed, he was fighting for African American rights. Gandhi was fighting for freedom of his own country. We’re fighting for freedom of all in our own country, of which we’re enslaved in. Cops have methods of controlling people and winning. Technology, weapons, gasses, etc. It’s different because nationalities hate other nationalities, then for our goal to be accomplished we have to unite them all. Similarly, religions hate other religions, etc.
I don’t know how to gain publicity or view from the masses anyways.
you could be a leader…you could find out how to do this…start today…but non-violent on your part…you could save human beings but it may cost you your life… that’ s what happened to jesus, ghandi, and mlk …
That’s what happened in the story of “Jesus”. This is why ideas are better then men, because you can’t kill an idea. I don’t think it would cost me my life, because i’d have the CIA and secret organizations abolished. There would be no shadowing of knowledge.

that is right on…ideas yes…ideas lead to action…action is needed now…jesus was a human being…the guys made him into a god…
he was kind of crazy…I will never believe he was a god…his early story was real life…the heaven/hell thing is supernatural
I don’t even think he was a real man at all, just the idea of a man. I think his “story” is just a created “story” rather than a lived story.
The cycle is as follows.
Positive idea/thought > Positive influence > Positive action > Positive reality
Action and influence can also be swapped, because influence can direct action, and action can influence.
The cycle goes for negativity as well.
yes…and i don’t think it makes any difference whether jesus was a real person…the idea is important…ghandi and mlk were human beings
Yes. What is your proposal? Can’t just snap fingers and get mass views and all.
The USA is slowly overcoming its issues with slavery, women’s rights, child labor and all of the ignorance based on the deification of the rugged male individual. But slow is not fast enough; and lives are spent in subjection to governments and machines. Our age lacks a prophet, one bold enough to go before the emperor and tell him he is without clothing. The vote merely reinforces the prejudices of the prosperous. Will another person have to die to twinge the conscience of our leaders? There should be marches on government by the dispossessed.

yes …it needs to be non-violent by those demonstrating…the law-breakers should be weeded out and receive appropriate consequences…peaceful demonstrations with some idea and issue in mind…like maybe a third party without money
We know what has to be done and why, but how to do so? How to gain the view of masses, anyways.
I do not think that USA ever had any soul in the first place. It was made of bits and pieces of many European countries.
Secondly, whatever more or less its soul was formed in some centuries, is lost during last some decades.
USA represents the future status of third world countries, if they can get any clue from it and correct their course.

The loudest voices in the USA now come from conservative Christians who deify capitalism. Their wishes are for God, Guns and Goods. There appears to be no third party. Veterans without homes, Am. Natives in poverty–these issues are not popular, but they are known worldwide. Some mix of capitalism and socialism becomes necessary in the caring for all. MLK did not stop with the notion that everybody should get a piece of the pie; he went further to remind us of what we owe to each other–integrity.

We don’t have leaders, because leaders lead. What they are doing is not leading, they are plunging foolishly.
