"We have restricted credit, we have restricted opportunity, we have controlled development, and we have come to be one of the worst ruled, one of the most completely controlled and dominated Governments in the civilized world no longer a Government by free opinion, no longer a Government by conviction and the vote of the majority, but a Government by the opinion and duress of a small group of dominant men." -Woodrow Wilson, The New Freedom: A Call for the Emancipation of the Generous, page 201, 1913

Could I be more clear?
Wise men run FROM the society.
Wise men don't RUN society.
You can speculate as much as you want, but this is something completely different.
Wise men like Heraclitus, Zeno, Buddha, Socrates, Descartes or Spinoza never had the ambition to run the world.
What you call "wise" isn't wise at all.

I want the world the christian God promises in the end. We will always have a problem with other views because all views and ways are flawed.
The thing to remember is that we are human and no matter what solutions we come up with and try to impose upon ourselves will not work for all. We are inately flawed. only divine intervention could save us. Praise Jesus.
( I can just imagine the sickened faces of any atheists or other religions out there......... just how I feel, i used to be just like you.)

Push inside straight out of my soul, for Someone is not letting this go.
Remember this, everyone, and all around you, are beautiful wonderful beings of Light, having journeyed far. Your greatest strength is that which is foolish in their eyes, Love and Compassion, and Giving. You come from a Family that is equal and shares everything. And yet free in every way, no control. Your worth as human beings is NOT established by how useful you are to this elitist echlen of people, how useful a slave to their corporations or their agendas. Your worth in INSTRINSIC. Throw away all the economics and politics and dogma. Be Love and Be The True Family You Are. Not judging another by the work they may or may not be doing in servitude for the bank account of the corrupt, but only judge how much you are doing to serve those around you.
Be the Family you wish to go home to, here and now in the school. That is the way home.
THE SYSTEM IS JUDGED BY THE EXPERIENCES OF THE MOST VULNERABLE AND SMALLEST AMONGST YOU FOR THAT REVEALS NOT ONLY THE WHOLE THING BUT WHAT YOU ALLOW IN YOUR HEARTS IF YOU APPROVE OR BUY ANY DOGMA OF THE WORLD TO FORSAKE YOUR OWN BROTHERS AND SISTERS.

Fair enough....
Conversely, I used to be just like you with a myopically limited understanding of what and who God is
