Admit it or not, all Homo sapiens live by a philosophy of fact or fiction; faith or reason; dogma or science; miracles or evidence. Worldwide, to one degree or another, I guess that at least 90% fall into the categories of fiction, faith, dogma, and miracles. Perhaps 1%--2% live inclusively by fact, reason, science, and evidence; leaving about 8% who live by some sort of mix.
Any of these philosophies chronicling Homo sapiens existence demand two bedrock affirmations: one defines what is PRIME in the known universe, and the other defines the origin and nature of EVIL, the antithesis of PRIME.
The first immutable paradigm, PRIME, is defined as First in Time. First in existence. First in quality, rank, degree, influence, importance, and value. The Individual Human Being is the only PROVABLE existent in the known universe that meets such a criterion of PRIME qua PRIME. Defined another way: when I am here everything is here; when I am gone everything is gone. Hence this infallible paradigm cannot be disproved or proven to be otherwise. (In my book I define it as The Law of Singular Existence, and I offer a more extensive proof.) However, in an essay limited to 1000 words, it’s virtually impossible; furthermore it is only preliminary to the primary reason I write this essay.
The second immutable paradigm (necessary but also only preliminary to the primary reason I write) is defined as STATISM and THEISM which are the very genesis of EVIL in the known universe. They are also known as Church, State, Religion, and Government. Both of them have an evolved history of planned intent to destroy and enslave PRIME via genocide, infanticide, slavery, and torture. Among these endless states is the United States, which has historically employed all of them for its establishment. Of course the reader is certainly justified in demanding that I prove it!
Since that word and space problem, I wrote of above, and since I’m also convinced most readers would prefer to see me dead than to read my proof, I suggest the following: Read the honest and brilliant genius of historian Howard Zinn’s book, A PEOPLE’S HISTORY of the UNITED STATES. His documented evidence cannot be denied—unless you’re an ORWELLIAN automaton, MACHIAVELLIAN despot, or just a JINGOISTIC fool.
This gets me to the reason I chose to write this essay—MURDERED CHILDREN! It’s been preeminently proven that harming PRIME, by individual acts of violence, robbery, murder, jealously rape, torture, etc. OR by STATIST policy, primarily WAR, is the very genesis of EVIL. Therefore, ONE (allow me to repeat—ONE!) infant killed by military action, government orders, or by “smart” bombs suffering I.Q. meltdown, is an act of pure EVIL in NO way different than individual killing or violence!!
Just one graphic example of such warped morality. I recently watched an interview of Lyndon Johnson’s daughter. When asked what words spoken by her dad are the most memorable to her. She responded that it was the time he stated, “I only wish that I could do more for America’s children who live in poverty and neglect.”
Like a firestorm scorching across my mind, I wished for a chance to ask him (and all of the other 43) “What did you feel and think about when you gave orders to napalm hundreds of thousands of Vietnamese and Cambodian children?”
Remember, I stated that THEISM AND STATISM are Janus faced equals as the genesis of EVIL, and I mentioned the word limit to this essay. However, I could simply use words like Rome, Pope, Cardinal, Priest,Bishop, Church in place of generals, presidents, congress,etc. as evil rapists of thousands of innocent children, hundreds of deaf children, and this essay would read the same: Innocent victims and demonic monsters by different names.
In closing I righteously demand that people take the Just War and Collateral Damage semantics and stick them where the sun never shines! Remember, any “human” who believes such crap has to accept such semantics for their OWN children, and we all know that is pure BS!!
Like the license plate says: It should never hurt to be a child.

(Why’s That Elephant Still In The Living Room?)
Homo sapiens’ have spent 1,000 years, writing their history, philosophy, and literature to record, explain, and decree what is to be true and what is to be false. With the ever changing exception of SCIENCE, only two paradigms remain unchanged. Unarguably they are STATISM and THEISM. At times they’ve also been known as Tribalism, Mysticism, State, and Religion. Historically they subsume the following constructs: monarchy, autocracy, democracy, oligarchy, aristocracy, fascism, socialism, Christianity, Buddhism, Catholicism, Paganism, atheism, Muhammadanism, and few others. As Rose Wilder Lane pointed out, "They all take it for granted that some AUTHORITY controls individuals, and there’s been 6,000 years of it in every language."
All of them, one way or another to some degree or another, claim infallibility, immutability, omnipotence, omniscience, absolutism, hegemony, ad nauseum. Somewhere among all of them can be found the United States with its unique recipe.
The sole aim of these non-existent paradigms and constructs is to collectively enslave the ONLY provable existent in the Universe: THE INDIVIDUAL HUMAN BEING (For scientific proof of this statement, I recommend reviewing general physics then immersing oneself in BIOCENTRISM) with this understanding it will then be clear how those paradigms and their constructs are the very genesis of EVIL. Logic will then irrefutably lead to the conclusion that the only way to achieve that genesis is by FORCE. Whenever Theism or Statism feel threatened enough they will turn to WAR the greatest evil of all! Consequently, in the 20th century alone, WAR has filled a river of blood with over 300 million Individual Human Beings.
There is virtually no doubt that this 6,000 year history is true; however as Aristotle wrote, "Just because it’s true doesn’t make it right." Not only is not right, but it’s demonstrably wrong, immoral, unethical, and, as already proven, the genesis of all evil. However, "forced" by science and technology, choices are being made about those 6,000 year old elephants in the living room. Gene and Meme evolution are just getting started, and change is escalating at exponential speed. The fields of SCIENCE, TECHNOLOGY, MEDICINE, and EDUCATION now hold the potential to free us, not only from the evils mentioned throughout, but also from mortality.
BUT and OH! What a BUT it is---First we must use our new knowledge to free ourselves from those two universal paradigms discussed earlier: STATISM and THEISM. As I mentioned they will launch a bloody jihad to prevent it. Forty years ago I wouldn’t have believed it possible, but evidence during the past 10 years makes it believable.
A ubiquitous interest in two old paradigms, ATHEISM and ANARCHISM (The end of GOD and the end of LEVIATHAN) coupled with a drive to defeat MORTALITY is mapping the way.
Here are a few of those brilliant "Mappers": Richard Dawkins and Christopher Hitchens’ assault on THEISM. Ray Kurzweil and Henry Markroms" assault on MORTALITY. Combined with others they could lead to what Ray Kurzweil calls, "The day that humans became gods." To paraphrase a few words from a song, "Gods and Kings what are they good for? Absolutely nothing!"
Today, unfortunately, the elephants in the living room question still remains--- Will we survive the reaction of the present day Theistic Fanatics, Secular Luddites, and Statist Warmongers?
I just finished reading the book, SHADOW ELITE, by Janine Wedel. She presents the STATISM problem in a unique way. Essentially claiming that neither the elephant of power nor the elephant of money is culpable. Instead she sees it as caused by a "Hidden Group" of sub rosa manipulators who have seized control of the government from the statists of power and the statists of money. Below is a brief opinion I sent her,

Cool name—Shadow Elite; has actually been known for years as "America’s Ruling Class." By either name it only exists BECAUSE the STATE exists, not the other way around. Just being very rich and very smart, without the RIGHT to use deadly force backed by law, will not allow you to rob or kill without equal "blow back." BUT because the STATE, in some form, has always existed, it makes it a sure thing for the rich smart guy to buy the guy who passes the laws, and holds the right to use force, even deadly, if necessary. Of course this also allows them to play "musical chairs" between money and power. How to stop the con game is the question. Since it appears that human beings require an economic system of some kind, I’m for dumping the STATE. History seems to show that the weaker state power is the freer the people are. Surely it’s clear that the stronger STATE power is the less free the people are.
