<p>It&#8217;s thinking like this that leads to divorce and unhappiness.</p>
<p>I see this  desire for money all the time, especially with women. This greediness and shallowness is exactly the evil that keeps people down.  This type of thought is a reduction the brilliant human mind with such great potential to meaningless mush.  The need to look a certain way and obtain the tangible has put human relations in such an unfortunate state.</p>
<p>It&#8217;s past due for inviduals to start looking for happiness instead of money.  This passion for money allows people to be controlled.  The more people value money the less freedom we have.  It&#8217;s PAPER! And not only that, its PAPER with symbols on the back of every bill that represent those who strive to control the world! How foolish are people to put such value and power into the hands of those who have no good intentions for society!? These mindless feelings about money and appearance are meant as distractions&#8211;and it&#8217;s working! People have become so obsessed with money and appearance they don&#8217;t even realize what&#8217;s happening around them!</p>
<p>Let&#8217;s be real LOVE and HAPPINESS is what is most important.  Sure money makes things easier that people can agree on.  As the wise little girl in the video says, Karma will come back for you!  IF your desires are within greed no amount of money will make you satisfied&#8230;.</p>
<p>WOMEN: stop trying to obtain a look of a plastic doll! Ask yourself why is that attractive? Because people told you so? Is it not the creation of your <em><strong>natural</strong></em> body that is artistic and beautiful? &#8230;.Humans are created to look a specific way which innately should be what is beautiful, it is society that has tricked so many into believing, that &#8220;fake&#8221; and the &#8220;nonhuman&#8221; appearance is beautiful! Use your brain and think&#8230;Stop believing what you hear and see! Educate yourself and form your own opinions!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: center;">I&#8217;m not the type of person to impose my beliefs on others, but rather lead them to valuable information so they can form their own opinion. I have been alive an amazing 23 years, thanks to the most high! In that time I have paid close attention to my surroundings and world issues. I have done my fair share of reading, and lately something very fishy is occurring. I want people to take a second, look up the United States climate control, alleged &#8220;energy -saving&#8221; agenda. Also look into the death tolls (over 200,000?) from the Haiti earthquake and compare it to larger earthquakes from the past. Then, finally look on Youtube and search conspiracies pertaining to the earthquakes. I just want people to think for a second and come to their own opinions. I&#8217;m not saying what I believe, just hoping you look into it and keep an open mind. Peace.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: center;">I Woke up today feeling pretty revolutionary. Malcolm X has always been one of my inspirations, and due to the lack of leaders I feel are important in today&#8217;s world I world I just wanted to take a second and reflect. He felt that if a man stands for nothing they will fall for anything. He believed that you could educate you own self better than any teacher could ever educate you. He felt we MUST LIBERATE our MINDS by any MEANS NECESSARY. Damn, I just feel that we missed out on the generation where people fight for what they believe in. I feel that race relations in this country are worse than ever but America hides behind the whole facade of being a so called &#8220;Melting Pot.&#8221; What a joke..I have seen racism grow in my last ten years in the United States and believe Institutional Supremacy is a new form of slavery. Try telling that to this Yes We Can generation who hangs on to every word spoke by our current President Obama. The man who sold his pastor out for speaking the truth just so the powers that be wouldn&#8217;t stop supporting him. People say to me you couldn&#8217;t speak on real issues, tackle real American problems, or make a difference without playing both sides of the fence..I don&#8217;t believe that for one second. We had leaders like Dr. King, W.E.B. DuBois, and the Great Malcolm X (YES I SAID GREAT). They did what they had to do in the face of adversity and opposition we couldn&#8217;t imagine in today&#8217;s world. I hope people take a second, think of where we are at today&#8230;.not as a race but as people. Like Malcolm said, &#8221; The future belongs to those who prepare for it today.&#8221; Peace.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Joby again, and today Im up early just surfing the net. I posted a lot of stuff on the site this morning, and I want yall to check this dude out. You must educate yourself about the people with influence in this country. Its not just limited to the White House, hope you guys know that. Don Blankenship, CEO of Massey Energy, one of the largest coal companies in the US. His company is a business powerhouse, but being a success in the coal industry means that the environment must suffer. Rather than go on and on about how I feel, just take a second and google his name and read a little bit. O Yea, he even has prepared himself for the digital age so you can hit him up on Twitter too (@DonBlankenship). LOL</p>

<p>Race, a topic that has been brushed under the rug for far too long, still seems to be too taboo to discuss openly.</p>
<p>I believe the topic is still very touchy because there are many who still say all the wrong things that are offensive and rude.  Also for many people, race, is a common day denominator that affects everyday living.  Racism has become more institutionalized event though it is less acceptable in the blatant form when two people are face to face.</p>
<p>To date, there still has not been a uniting force that has clearly addressed the issue without dichotomizing it.  I believe that a central figure head such as Obama could help with this.  He could serve as a symbol of all races coming together and taking part in the American dream.  I feel it would be in American societies&#8217; best interest if Obama did speak honestly about how both Black and White Americans can feel, but why new generations should focus on American National Identity.  Instead of concerning ourselves with looks and causing a weakening separation we can become stronger working together and appreciating one another with the understanding that all people are original.  There are obviously some issues of the past that should be discussed and understood (even emplimented into history lessons in school) .  With a clear idea of past and present injustice we can move forward more equipped to understand race as it exists currently and to again more forward.  Finally as a majority we must understand how the past has come to create the present and what we can do to move away from institutional racism altogether.  It is important we begin moving on, accepting all types of people as equal human beings with free will, and continuing the vision of the land of opportunity.</p>
<p>If issues are addressed and education systems are re-formated to instill new values in children , older generations will soon die out, and new generations  will naturally have a  more forward mindset.</p>
