Perspective

[Meiun]

Ponderous events unfold today as the Council of Zoners agrees to let Unioners have two gunboats for their defensive posturing...

I've not gone so far as to condemn, belittle, or even down the shields on a Unioner vessel, although my engagements with them have been less than cordial. I don't mind their efforts, hell, every man has his limits when it comes to oppression of any sort. I can definitely relate. However to mount a cause, co-horde wealth, and establish a code of brothers whose mission is to destroy folks caught up in a system of socio-political gobbledy-gook is far from perfect in delivery. Reminds me of the old earth saying, "don't shoot the cook!" He is only the result of the system we've been willing to accept.

If you step back and think about the whole situation the perspective ought to be one of education, not destruction and "crime". There is nothing criminal in man, there is only lack of fulfillment.

To have a world, or even all of Sirius Sector, without need... without the use for credits or monetary gain. All of mankind freed to pursue his passions... is that possible?

I recall an old tune from my youth;

I believe there is a place
Where people live in perfect peace
Where there is food on every plate
The work is rewarding and rest is sweet
Where the color of your skin
Won't get you in or keep you out
Where justice reigns and truth finally wins
In this hard fought war against fear and doubt

I believe there'll come a time
Lord, I pray it's not too far off
There'll be no poverty or crime
There'll be no greed and we'll learn how to love
The children will be safe in their homes
There'll be no riots out on the streets
The old will not be left alone
And the strong will learn how to care for the weak

bah, such are the ramblings of an old fool as he glides in the silence of space. ...and, still
