we evolve....

How can anyone believe that we don't?

I've recently heard people say that they don't believe in evolution because it doesn't make sense that it stopped. Why does anyone feel that it stopped?

Adaptation takes hundreds of thousands of years. I mean, do people actually think we'd see human evolution in fast forward? Even if it is moving faster than 100,000 years, who's going to actually be around to say they saw Black folks grow the third eye in the back of their head (a probable, evolutionary, necessary defense mechanism....).

Now I do believe we're seeing this happen already... all those razor bumps ain't bumps.....

Black women will have the eye too, and it will be able to see thru hair with it's enhanced abilities. See, men will probably stop trying to go bald once they know they have the eye because they would want to keep that extra sense, concealed for protection and enlightenment.

What about other evidence of evolution today? That great Tsunami actually changed the configuration of the map by obliteration much of the land it affected in the area that it manifested. Little islands that used to be exposed are now under water. Shore lines are no longer what they used to be.

That polar cap is shrinking too. I read that Scientists believe Polar Bears are in danger of becoming extinct relatively soon!

Bottom line is, we've come a long way.... and the earth is still turning... We are but a 'speck' in the realm of time!

I say... VOTE!

But there are some people who believe its just a waste of time. I simply cannot agree with that position. Aside from the fact that Black people have fought and died for the right, it just happens to be the system in place that we have to work with at this time. Until another idea on how to manage elections become viable, we have to be in the game (if even by show), in order to hopefully know what game is being played.

Now if you check out the article I have linked below, the writer does make some good points... especially this one:

Exercise Your Right Not To Vote by Eric Jackson

"We do not live in a representative republic. Oh, I’m sure it still exists on paper, or maybe in an NSA database somewhere, but the republic is dead. A man cannot be told to choose between two nearly identical men and believe that he has any real power. The process calls to mind Henry Ford, who said you could have whatever color car you wanted, as long as it was black."

It truly does feel that we have no REAL choices between the major parties. And in my opinion, it all boils down to money. All those other parties are just little annoyances to the 'big' parties with their 'big bucks'. I believe the Dems and GOP use those other little parties as tools against each other. They probably have strategists who figure out which of those independent parties can distract voters in certain regions enough to take away from one or another candidate so that its not about the 'majority' vote getter winning at all.

Here's a link to a list of American Political Parties... http://www.politics1.com/parties.htm

Did y'all know that the Prohibition Party is still in existence? Now there's an issue we can all get behind, eh?


Especially since it worked so well during the Capone days.









And how about this one....

U.S. Pacifist Party - This tiny political party fielded a write-in candidate for President in 1996, 2000 and 2004, and a US Senate candidate in Colorado in 1998. The party opposes military actions in all circumstances and wants to transform the US military into "a non-violent defense and humanitarian service corps.

Well, I certainly can't get behind this one. Can you imagine what would happen if we had no defense now after we've gone and pissed the rest of the world off?

The bottom line is, we need to be in the game if for no other reason than to try and have some input regarding how our tax money is spent. This is VERY important beginning at the municipal level. So many people don't even bother to vote in their city/county/state elections and just wait for the November General Elections. By that time, many of your decisions are already made for you.

I agree, our 2 party system is bogus. I see no distinct difference between them.

















But until we have another way of electing our public 'servants', lets exercise our right, and try to come up with ideas for change that will result in better representation for all of us.

We better get into making those voting machines work with some honesty and integrity too! There are many, many articles regarding how 'hackable' those computerized voting machines are. Here's just one recent article regarding a hidden 'patch' that was installed during an election.... http://www.atlantaprogressivenews.com/news/0091.html


Oh.... And I didn't see The New Black Panther Party on that list. Hmmmm. Now isn't that curious! http://newblackpanther.com/SITE/
