Questions

I found in college that forming useful questions is always more important than the answers that you get. Without useful questions no life is lived to the fullest but many times just ends in despair. So, in the interest of everyone's survival on earth I'm asking these questions:

Why is the world in such a mess right now? As recently as the 1990s things were never better and our government here in the U.S. had a surplus of money on board.

Why are people accusing Bernanke of Treason? Though the average person might not understand this, without devaluing the dollar or raising taxes or both our nation will turn into a banana republic the way things now stand. The Bush Tax cuts combined with Iraq and Afghanistan Wars have bankrupted our nation.

How high will food prices go? The answer unfortunately is there is no limit to how high food prices will go. The answer for anyone who has a windowsill or land to grow food on is: Start growing your own food before you starve. And start figuring out how to recycle your water if there is a drought where you live. One way is through a solar distiller using clear or black plastic to recycle water. Take the plastic and put it above the water in the sun and make it be an angle so the pure water can condense upon the plastic and run down into some kind of container. Use the heat of the sun so you have water to drink at least.

What is REALLY done with the 500 billion dollars a years spent on defense? We don't really have an enemy outside of ourselves. I presently believe the terrorist wars were for the most part fund raisers done by people in the intelligence community trying not to lose their jobs and the whole thing got so out of hand that both world propaganda and the military industrial complex got on the band wagon. Just watch the movie "Wag the Dog" and you will see what the last 10 years has really been about.

Why is the price of Gold going up like it is? Is it really the debt ceiling problem which is a completely manufactured political problem caused by Republicans being racist and wanting to get rid of a black president? Do Republicans really think that politics is more important than the survival of our nation economically? Obviously, some really do. It's almost like they are saying "It is better that our country doesn't exist at all if we are going to  have a black president." This unfortunately is my present opinion on this in regard to some Republicans. So in this one sense these kinds of Republicans demonstrate they are anti-U.S. and therefore in a real sense demonstrate that they might be considered "enemies of the state" because they are acting to destroy the U.S. as a way of electing a Republican (any Republican). However, this kind of thinking is just so ideological and non-pragmatic and non-practical in any way, shape or form as to be considered and rightly so, Insane and self defeating and self destructive for us as a nation.

Why do we allow China to devalue their currency? No other nation is allowed to do this. And by allowing them to continue devaluing  we steal the jobs of our people and all people in the western World. Until the Western world either forces China to raise the value of their currency to what it is actually worth, millions and millions more jobs in the Western world and all around the world will be lost DIRECTLY because of this one factor.

However, on another level there is a paradox here. The paradox is that any nation that is serious about surviving right now is seriously struggling to devalue their currencies including the United States and many countries in Europe. So when the Governor of Texas, Perry, says that Bernanke is guilty of treason in printing money, it is more like Rick Perry of Texas is guilty of Treason by saying this because only nations that devalue their currency in the present world climate will survive.

Alcoholism and drug addiction are problems but so is Computer addiction and in specific computer Games and gaming. What happens when people young or old worldwide simply say to themselves, "The world is so bad off I'm just going to go play a video game and live in a fantasy world?" What happens then when millions and billions of people who could potentially solve all the problems of the world just decide to escape into video games and solve their problems just in fantasy?

These are just some of the questions that I have. I'm sure others of you have questions too. Blog your questions because if you can at least formulate what is bothering you then maybe someone else has a real world solution for you and for the world that can be implemented! If you can't even ask the right questions then how do you expect to survive all this?
