Greed Beyond Need and the People Who Lead. Sins Against Humanity

Updated on August 10, 2013

Dangerous and potentially deadly Oil Rigs

Will (we, the people) ever find the courage to fight a system that is destroying us exponentially? Or are we simply destined for doom and destruction?


Are we all as stupid as those who lead us think we are?

Or is apathy and indifference simply inbred into humanity?

There are those inbred qualities that are unmistakable and obvious: skin color, hair and eye color, body sizes and shapes, et al.

Then there are those that are not so obvious: mental disorders, unhealthy conditions such as diabetes, weak hearts, genetic anomalies, et al.

We also know that the learning capacities of people differ in depth and severity. We range from genius to autistic, to idiot savants, to those who are totally mentally incapable of learning anything.

I have reached the conclusion that aggression, greed, and apathy, are also part of the human inbred structures

The creation of man was certainly not a perfect one. So with fallibility inbred into the human race, we need to take another look at who we are letting rule over us.

We are under the impression that only the strong will survive and that may be true, but is it best to create an entire race of aggressive, greedy and indifferent individuals who only know self serving without compassion?

In today's world those strong and aggressive people are only leading us toward annihilation.

This prologue is not without purpose - it helps explain why the world is, as it is today.

Although those who rule, view the rest of us as incompetent fools who are easily duped, they are not entirely wrong, nor are they entirely right. We certainly have learned to create and improve technology, but allow that technology to control our lives and those who "sell" it to us improve their power over us.

When enough is enough:


We are truly an evolutionary species in technology, space exploration, and sciences, but retarded when it comes to intellectual growth and expansion of our minds. It is that old fear of the unknown that prevents the expansion of mind and how these new inventions can actually benefit every one of us, not just those who can afford to buy them.

When technology endangers us as a species, and greed borders us on extinction, we must stand united and say "enough is enough". The meek shall never inherit the earth - nor shall the apathetic.

When greed and aggression surpasses need:


We have the aggressiveness and greed of corporate America in charge of our lives. Like putting a fox in charge of the hen house. Can we really afford to continue the apathy, indifference, and fear, that halts our change for the better?

The state of Florida is experiencing the increase of sink holes in the Tampa Bay area, off the coast of the Gulf of Mexico. The reporters and those in authority do not want people to panic, or understand, why this is happening, so they are reporting on the news that this is from "limestone erosion" caused by "water infiltration". This kind of journalism in not only inept, but insulting to those of us who live in Florida.

Though what they offer may be plausible, what they are not telling us is the truth, as usual. This is my crude drawing of land next to the oceans, to show just how deceitful these money mongers are about how fragile this earth truly is.

Pockets of Oil

Oh, the arrogance of Man
Oh, the arrogance of Man

When all that oil is sucked out of the ground it leaves a huge pocket of "nothing'.


When the earth (in those other states that border the ocean - or the "limestone" that Florida is built on), starts falling into the voids created by oil extractions it causes those "mysterious" sink holes on the surface. They are deadly to those who just happen to be above those pockets of nothing left by the greedy who will stop at nothing to add to the wealth they already have. And losing the lives of those on the surface that are in their way, is just considered "collateral" damage.

Hence the title: Greed Beyond Need. A sin against humanity.

But, there is more - we are all culpable (to blame) for these events.


We are blinded by the need for instant gratification and the dream of "easy living". But dreams have a price that may be too high for anyone to pay, if those extractions are allowed to continue.

We have those aggressive and greedy (and highly indifferent) people in charge of our lives and our destinies.

When Governments allow corporations to rule them, and us, it is a recipe for disaster; especially when there are viable alternatives to halt this madness now, not after the damages are done, and beyond repair.

300 Miles to the Gallon? And why are they NOT available to us today?

Electric car that gives 400 miles per hour? Or Oil? God Help us Please

Those greed monsters have more than they will ever need for hundreds of years beyond their life expectancies, and yet, they destroy us, our livelihoods, our dreams, and our futures for more.

So the cui bono of the wealthy is to destroy the planet for their insatiable appetites.

( "cui bono" pronounced (kwee bo no): a principle that probable responsibility for an act or event lies with one having something to gain) [whether that something is irrational, insane, illogical, or detrimental to others, is real or not, is inconsequential]

We are distracted from the truth by politics, and false moralities contrived to do so, by those who have the most to gain - power and wealth - well beyond deserving.

Corporate America owns the G.O.P., the government, and the supreme court

The Democrats are rapidly converting

Faux (imitation) conservatives are played like marionettes designed to distract and confuse; and doing so quite well for Corporate America.

Logic seems to be lost and the fall of America is close at hand.

Evil will triumph once again.

God Bless America - we certainly need some 'blessings' now.
