The Evolution of Human Thinking, (the last one-hundred years)

Many long years ago, two small boys lived in a community with their mother, the father was off “hunting” and the boy’s responsibility was to “catch” the days dinner from the creek, using the “noodling” technique was a bit scary so these boys devised a game from their fathers “cards”. A game of chance that ultimately determined who would be the one to “noodle” the nights dinner.


Soon the community noticed one brother was most frequently at the creek while the other was rarely seen, they asked the young man why he always “drew the short straw” and the boy said…”Go Fish”. He soon taught the others in town how to play a simple card game that gambled away the right to sit at home while the other went out to do the work.

Now as time passed these two boys grew and one day “Little Milt” mentioned to his brother that he seemed to “lose” at “Go Fish” too often and it was time to find a new way to determine who would go out and catch the fish.

Now with a lot of time to spare, while “Milt” was fishing, “Brad” had anticipated this and had begun planning the “ultimate game of conquer-ship”, consisting of a map and many multi-colored little blocks the objective to this game was to conquer the “world” and ultimately get “control” of the home, as their mother was most frequently out with the “girls” planning ways to obtain “manhood” and gain the rights they deserved for the job they were doing.

This particular game often took days to complete and the boys soon realized they would starve if they took the ‘risk’ of finishing this game so they devised another that allowed the smaller “ocean” going battles, and “strategically place armies” for other battles to break down who would do the house hold chores now going by the wayside.

As the summer days grew into fall, “father came home”, with “mother” at his side, seeing the shambles of their home, they themselves devised a game to teach the children about “choices” in life, and began encouraging them to go to school or get a "career".

Now this concept was a bit confusing to the boys and they soon figured out that with a ‘job’ you can make money, and with money you can buy more things, doing less “work”, and they quickly invested in some property and began to “monopolize” the community.

As the years went on the community continued to struggle to achieve what seemed to them “went out faster than it came in”, the cost of rent ever increasing, the fines and fees from taxes causing them to sell and sacrifice while they watched the brothers obtain “a Kingdom” made from the communities own hard work.

Now what the community did not know was these two boys had “long ago” started a game of risk, and now that game had finally come to a head after many battles and upsets.

The game was now dominated by “two large armies” and a few smaller ones of various color taken into “control” to fill the roles of other won allies….behind closed doors these boys used this game to decide who would now pass out the foreclosure papers to their parents, as they had NOT paid their taxes since age related illness had caused them to slow down.

One morning the sun rose high, and a young lady woke to a day of sorrow as people cried in the streets over the injustice of it all and she realized that the “life of playing games” had ran its gauntlet and we had now come around in a complete circle; Where people watched as another talked of ‘tossing the entire board” the “brothers” used for decision making, off the table.

So with “ants in their pants” and hoping “not to break the ice” causing us all to “sink or swim”, they waited wishing that the world had stayed with “fairy tales” instead of moving on to “games”.

Afghanistan and the lies to America?

"Mom please you have to help me! I am going to die here, we all are."
"Mom I am hungry, please send me a box soon, I love you."
"Mom I was blown off the road, again."

These are the letters and phone calls I get from my son in Afghanistan. What was once a loving passionate young man, turned into a suicidal and hurt teen, joined the ban wagon after many promises of a better life by the US Army. Despite several psychologist notes from inpatient mental health care and an early discharge from another branch of the Armed Forces, the US Army still recruited a young man fresh out of a relationship that ended with suicidal thoughts. They covered his problems, lied to him about money and life style, even convinced him to marry the girl despite all the problems in their relationship, and all the rumors that GI wives leave their husbands while they are at war.

Funny as I see it they set my son up to die. He was the perfect candidate. Enough mental health issues that if he comes back messed up in the head they can blame his past. If he gets mad enough he just may make that perfect suicide soldier.

What they did not barter for was a pissed off mother. Mothers are forever forgotten about in this world and it is now time for us to make a stand.

BRING MY SON HOME! and any other of the young men over there that want to come home. The ones you lied to, coerced and connived! For some that life is what they need and want. But for most they are there due to glorified recruiters making bonuses at the end of the year for their recruiting abilities (lies). Growing up with "Recruiter of the year" (several years in a row) I heard how it works...little ears hear things and I heard my father was proud of his abilities to convince one that the military is the only way to become someone in this world of politics.

Im sorry son I should have broken your legs before letting you do this. I am sorry the world has lied to you and I am so so sorry that the country my grandfathers built so lovingly has become one that needs to lie and deceive it's own people.

America....they have hidden my sons past mental health history for the sake of gaining "another soldier". A suicidal young man who's life was in a relationship disorder is over in that war fighting with your sons and daughter. He is not he only one. Many of those young men and women are in the same position. For those like my father who swear by the life style of death and destruction remember that if half the platoon is already depressed and upset, your son, daughter, or spouse does not have a very good back up.

I gave a childhood to the US Navy. I was proud of my fathers career until I grew up and figured out how much of our lives were affected by years of having a father who came and went.

So world please help me bring my son home. I will give my life for his. He is not meant to be there as so many of them are not. I have battled cancer a few times in my life. Faced death and domestic violence. I worked hard in my life to achieve somewhat of a life that keeps getting pulled from me. Followed the laws and lived a good life. Now I am pissed!

Reward the good once in awhile and quit defending the bad, America....even our judicial system has gone biased toward guilty until you prove yourself innocent.

Quit lying to us about the safety of our food and drugs, the knowledge of our doctors and scientist and most of all the politicians, it is pretty obvious who gains and who loses in this country and we are all pretty dumb for following our Shepard blindly into slaughter.
