 The Unfinished Fight for
Freedom
One purpose of this site is to show
you that terrorism is not simply a struggle between good guys and bad
guys.
There are complex social forces
that shape our lives - everyone's life. That includes you and me.
The more we understand about how these forces operate, the better we can
make informed decisions.
One way to influence people in foreign countries, is to be a good role
model. If we are going to help people change for the better, it
makes sense to start with ourselves.
Child development relationship is altered by
the influences of modern civilization, and also in developing
countries that have been torn by war over periods of many years, such as
Afghanistan.
Children are often damaged by neglect, control,
abuse, and the false ideas that pervade their society.
Fear, anger, bad memories, and a host of things that defy description,
reside in their minds long after the circumstances that caused them.
They are vulnerable and may fall prey to people that promise that if
they give their time, energy, and money now, they will find happiness in
the future.
Our modern society has fostered the development
of institutions in
government,
education, health-care,
and others. These have taken on a
life of their own, just like people. They will fight to survive,
and will lie if necessary, directly or indirectly. These
institutions can be parasitic, and control our lives, if we allow them
to. A successful parasite has "stealth" properties, which is to
say that it does everything it can to look beneficial and wholesome.
This is extremely deceptive.
