Ok Now we have heard from the Christians and the Jewish perspective and blindly they both suffer from the same disease. I recently read an e book with concepts originally copy written by Hewi t t -Gleeson, Michael,in 1947 called Softwear for the Brain in the 2004 version and update it states In recent years, some computer hackers started out manipulating their systems for fun by designing viruses that replicate themselves into other systems. Few hackers, however, are competent enough or even willing to fully comprehend the ongoing consequences of their antics. It then further states The mind boggles at the havoc that can be caused if these viruses spread unchecked. Yet , there is a virus, a brain virus, which already exists in the brains of many humans from preachers to presidents, that makes these computer viruses look wimps by comparison. Socrates, Plato and Aristotle were the most famous thinking hackers of their day. Plato's original idea was that there is such a thing as absolute truth. Plato figured there must be a finite end to a thinker's relentless search for meaning, an ultimate destination to a thinker's ef forts, so he called that destination objective ' truth' . The problem for is the number of conflicting claims of owning absolute truth and unique rightness and everyone wants to be the person with the truth. From time to time teachers like Buddha, Jesus and Confucius have emerged in the different cultures of the world. These great teachers are often upstaged by greedy franchisees who claim to have exclusive rights on their teacher's intellectual property. Who can blame the original teachers for the sickness of their followers? Aristotle then put everything into categories to make the virus worse. Life, according to Aristotle, is a matter of sorting things out into right and wrong . Judgement is the key activity. This is right . That's wrong. I'm right . You're wrong. This is black. That is white. This is American. That's un-American. This is good. That is bad. This is the right answer. That is the wrong answer. Based on all of this statements like we are a country of laws and we should get it right in first place are wrong and unattainable. The party in power decides the Truth of the moment and if you watch congress as I do you will know there is no real negotiation just one idea bullied on others. They call it the way congress works. Let me give you an example. When Dick Chenney held closed door meetings with the oil companies to form his energy policy the Democrats screamed foul! Yet last week Waxman the head of the senate energy committee kept referring to the negotiated agreements with the large electrical concerns and that closed door meeting was OK. So there you have it we are a country of ever changing truths and ciaos with laws that contradict themselves and lawyers that get paid to argue the truth with other false truths. We are overwhelmed by people ,groups and religions that don't really care about right just their own closed minded view of the truth. Remember Galileo was forced by the Catholic church to say the sun revolved around the earth after he had proven the opposite because it didn't fit the churches truth. Today our war of truths is the only correct interpretation of the truth.
