A creative writer, my book, CHILDHOOD'S REND: MEMORIES OF THE DOG STAR, is FREE at Scribd.com. I'm a 100% intuitive INFJ and am looking for INFJ's/creative/super-intelligent people to share my creativity, to engage in scintillating conversations, and to establish Siriusian mind-melds or mind2mind connections. I love Faulkner, Kristofferson, Prine, Seger, Simon & Garfunkel, Dali, wood fireplaces, rain on a tin roof, the smell of wisteria, honeysuckle, and new-mown hay, candles, incense, stream-of-consciousness writing, and intense conversations. I am a Kierkegaardian existentialist Christian who thinks it is more rational to believe in God than not, but I do not hesitate to question him or Him, and I have far more problems with this Creature/Entity/First Cause than with Jesus, whose teachings were and still are relevant, revolutionary, and transformative. I love cosmology and space, inner and outer, and am fascinated with time and the concept of infinite and parallel universes.

Yes, Jack, the time is now and we can answer the problems we now face if done in an honest and sincere manner. The question is, can we together be honest and sincere working as a team rather than each man for himself? As I said earlier, I'm an optimist and always hope for the best. Your points made about the world are well taken and all are true I agree. I worry for my children and the children of the world much more than for I worry for myself. It is going to be a much different future I'm afraid, and I just hope and pray that we do in fact have a future rather than destroying ourselves in world war.

9:41am Skyblue101,
I am not so sure! Multiple world situations---economic distress, extreme food shortages, hunger (while we Americans stuff ourselves), droughts (in Australia and Africa), price hikes, mindless terrorism, American pre-emptive expansionism, and other stresses---seem out-of-control to me.
We, as Americans, have too long exploited the world and have not curbed our appetites for cheap oil and instant gratification. We, as a nation, have forgotten the old-fashioned values of "making do" and deferring gratification.
We have selfishly and unthinkingly mortgaged our children's futures for our transient, foolish pleasures, and we persist (to quote Kris Kristofferson) in "trading our tomorrows for today".
We do not remember how to "get by" (the meaning of the phrase, as is "making do", is unknown to younger generations)---as long as we have another credit card in our pockets offering instant cash.
We are hooked on our material excesses; we mainline extravagance while others suffer; figuratively, America is the "rich man" in Jesus' parable while the rest of the world, particularly the Third World, is the beggar seeking "crumbs" from the rich man's table.
Weaning ourselves from our consumptive addiction will not be easy; it will entail a tsunami-like jolt for most people.
By the same token, Rev. Jeremiah Wright "goddamns America", and in the media furor/feeding frenzy his essential point is lost, no, not lost, distorted and twisted: We as Americans have, to a great extent, damned ourselves. Leave God out of it, please! He gets far too much credit, and blame, for our own foibles and greed! THIS is what Rev. Wright meant to say and should have said!
