Mission Statement

Evolution is the progressive force of I AM that pervades and is everything- because it alone understands how to just be. The purpose of life is to evolve into the most harmonious state, while orgastically experiencing the precious lows and artificial highs on the way. Humans look to God, the sky spirit, for reasons to hate gays, kill Iraqis, and postpone sex until marriage- when all we have to do is look inside ourselves at the potential of God.
Jesus was a liberal Jew who advocated caring for the weakest of society and forsaking wealth. He told the story of the Good Samaritan who sacrificed his time, money, and pride to take care of one considered beneath him in society.

The United States must take its example from those who value the intrinsic value of every individual, such as Jesus, and not those who wage war for profit.

The earth has lasted for 4.7 billion years.
Life for 3.7 billion years.
Written human history has existed for thousands of years.
Our American society we love has existed for just two hundred years.

The way I figure it, we progressed from grunting apes to civilizations in hundreds of thousands of years. We went from computers the size of a football field to the iPod in fifty years. Our technological progress is exponentially increasing. Once we all learn to love each other (and enjoy the hell out of life), global cooperation will lead us into the promised land. So what is this plan to ensure global cooperation?

Paraphrasing John Lennon, one must coat political messages in honey. In other words, you have to convince people it is in their best interests to change, or else they won't. America's destiny is that of Good Samaritan.

Here's an American recipe for immediate change worldwide:
2 years of global peace barrage of information on every available medium: TV, magazines, Bluetooth, WiFi, Internet, books, pamphlets.
Our message is simple and translated into almost every language.
"Love not War Let's work together to save not only ourselves but also Gaia, our mother planet. War must go. Cooperation must replace destruction.
1 + 1 = 2 but 1 - 1 = 0. If we do not work together, we will perish. Love not War."

During these years of the information barrage, America will bring its troops back to its borders, while reinvesting the unspent military funds into a widescale transformation of our economy into a sustainable and efficient one. It will halt all expensive military projects such as $2 billion B2 bombers.
The federal government will now be run as a business. It will assume control of the energy industry- and use the leftover military unemployed and those homeless to put Solar Panels On Everything. These nanotechnology-imbued solar panels produce free renewable energy, along with cleanly splitting water into hydrogen for use in automobiles.

Next it will socialize parts of the education and health care systems, to ensure every citizen in America is raised in a stimulating and healthy environment. Income tax will be eliminated, while a national sales tax will be implemented. Capitalism remains the name of the market, but the energy/health care/education/pharmaceutical industries must be radically changed in order to preserve our country's prosperity. The War on Drugs will be replaced by a Harm reduction approach. Drug abuse will be treated as it is, a social health issue, and will save the prisons for the violent criminals. Science will be heavily subsidized, as it is the reason why humans can expect to live for almost 80 years in the US, and (as applied knowledge) will be the savior of our land.

Reason and science and knowledge must be the rule of the land. Passion is good but only when put to good uses, not when defending an imaginary line on a map or a sky spirit who made gays and now hates them.

The Golden Rule is the law of the land. Jesus, Buddha, Muhammad, Russell, MLK, Einstein, Andre from Outkast- they all have it right- Love not War. Life is too awesome and beautiful and full of potential to squander of petty human issues.

All humans have the right to shelter, food, health care, and clothing.
The rights of the individual trump those of the state- yet when everyone pursues their best option (cooperation), everyone profits.

All empires eventually crumble, but we have a chance in this global information age to elevate human society. In the scheme of things, would you rather just be another corrupt empire or catalyze the world's positive change?

The alternatives: rampant global warming, destruction of ecosystems, nuclear winters, genocides, violation of human rights, and extinction of humankind.

Again, the buzzwords are: "Love not War" "Knowledge over ignorance and prejudice" and "Solar Panels On Everything"
