TO SERVE MAN

My lates post www.r8ny.com

I don't know how many people have ever seen this episode of The Twilight Zone.

It was my favorite.

An advance race comes here, they claim they want to help us

They give us advanced technology

But what they really want is to "EAT US"

or how about

The Day the Earth Stood Still

Here they come to warn us of our "War Like Ways"

What does all this have to do with anything you ask, a great deal

In 20 months we will be electing a President.

On 1/20/2009 at noon he or she will be sworn in.

Now let us say that at 3PM on that day we get a visitor from........

Who do you want to meet and deal with the "VISITOR"

Are you crazy, out of your mind, get real

This election is about who has the "Vision" and "Leadership" for the Future

We need to start asking how would you prepare us for that day.

But everyone is still asking the same old questions, Abortion, Gay Marriage, etc etc these are meaningless.

We are entering era of the "Brave New World" and the "IPOD"

The "IPOD" represents Moores Law: on the advancement of Computer chips and the technology to make them.

Approximately every eighteen months the "IPOD" gets smaller and doubles in capacity

Soon it will be small enough to fit into a button, and then into your brain.

It's time we start asking different questions.

To truly understand you need to read the following books.

The Age of Spiritual Machines: When Computers Exceed Human Intelligence"
