The one thing I got to say about Gadaffi is that his people actually really did love the guy, for the most part, and they had every reason to. I believe his sons were good, and would have protected Libya better, had they been more prepared for the invasion. But Libya let its guard down. Amidst the celebration of $.17 gas prices, he could drive in the heart of downtown in a motorcade of a dozen vehicles, with his head out the sunroof like the King that he was.
But the King is dead. That was the message from NATO. And I'm not saying Mummar was even close to a murmur of a second away from becoming Leader of the World, let alone Best Dressed in the West. But he's looking at us now from Space, and dead guys can do no harm, except scare you. That's what I've learned from watching movies about ghosts.
In my belief, what's worse than what they did to the African people is what they're about to do (and perhaps have been doing for a while) to the continent of Africa. You might even say that, if you include the Persian Gulf and the oil beneath the sands, it's been happening for a while.
So what do we do about all this? We blog about it. We write it so that the people in the future can look back at us and say, hey. At least a few of them had a clue. Because the past will not be a mystery to the people at the End of the Age. The Occult leadership (think Bohemian Grove) get their orders from their imaginations, unlike many other people, who get their orders from them. You might say that their imagination is the source for religion, and soon to be a pantheon of paranormal beliefs unlike that which you could imagine. People who really believe in their religion are willing to act on their beliefs. Most Christians are only capable of acting on behalf of their wallets, which cause them to make bad decisions. If you take apart their wallet, all they're left with are their moral values, which have been equally eroded as society quietly moves the bar for what is socially acceptable. You might see more brothels if the economic disparity continues, because there's plenty of wealth and resources, everyone thinks. But people are holding out because I'm not smart enough, I'm not pretty enough, some people think. In many ways this is an incentive to go out, get on a pair of high heels and an education.
But the source of the interest is bad motivation. Getting educated simply so that you can go on and chase down currency sounds like you missed the first lesson: life is the persuit of happiness and liberty. Our experiences in the education would be much different if everyone could agree on that. If life was about the persuit of money, an end to a means of endless dreams, you might find that you are dreaming. The realest human beings think of life as a dream, but they know that they will wake up someday. And when they do, they'll say "Wow. Oh wow. Oh wow."
