And as far as the space race paving the way for new technologies, I agree with you totally which is why I put it in my post, it is proof that when the
whole gets together to accomplish something, even as fantastically unbelievable as landing on the moon, we accomplished it. So Im not sure why you say
"by the way the space race paved the way for technologies..... as if I said disagreed. I used it to paint a picture of what is possible when all are
involved in a project rather that a few. Great wall of China, Pyramids...these are unbelievable accomplishments regardless of the slavery that made
them ( which is atrocious) they show how large scale our ideas can be when working as a whole. I am trying to have some hope in this God forsaken
world and would rather spend my time doing something about the world than talking about doing something. I live my life this way.

I see your point of view. Hope is a good thing. I am poor , yet I help all I can without discernment. I just do not help those who will take
advantage, as they have their just reward. As far as doing great things and having a movement towards it , it will be watered down by the time it ever
happens. Like our Consitution, it used ideas from other written laws and mixed them in the final copy. It took a while for it to take shape , but the
founders at least had a law to use and study. This movement the Venus Project as no laws or rules to follow that are abtainable to look at. It has on
the web site, in the left corner, what we are about. If you read that you can see the type of control that the project wants. I do not agree to that.
But you are doing good without compensation, which is what is being good is all about. What I can tell from some people that they just want to sit on
their butt and let others do all the work. This I also disagree with. You can not have that type of utopia unless it is already in place. Here in the
USA we already have laws and some infrastructure that we could utilize and make it happen. We would need a leader and leaders that we all trust and
agree with to move a project like this to a workable solution. All I see is greed from our leaders, and going in the wrong direction in my mind. But I
can still do what I do, to help others who really need help. Doing what you do, and I doing what I do, can have lasting effects on the whole. If more
do what we do, then its a movement.
