.... this is the first of several post about various controllers in this american existence.
First off i wanted to say these are fact's not truth.
The difference facts can be changed truth cannot.
These post are also my opinion not news.
The first in controllers is the class and location in which you are born and live in.
Someone who is born in an affluent neighborhood has more opportunities available to them.
While in contrast those born in poorer circumstance will have to work much harder to get half those opportunities.
Allow me a moment for an analogy: Two children born on the same day in the same city on different sides of town, their parents have the same dreams for them... the same goals. Both families are comprised of 4 children, 2 working parents, and they have similar expenses a mortgage, 2 cars and all the insurance and taxes for everyday living.
The only two differences in these families are their locations and incomes.
We all know the lure of the "American dream" we all feel it's pull because it has been conditioned into us.
While the Child Born uptown has greater means beyond that of the government regulated services and education the child born downtown is limited by the fact that his parents means can not provide him those opportunities.
It is a simple analogy but one often overlooked by the idea that we are all created equal.
This idea never taking into thought the simple fact of privilege.

it'a been awhile... but we are not yet machines.
Strange things have continually happened during my time between post. I wont go into much detail but i will say this humanity has been reduced to such an extent that sometimes i feel the powers that be have forgot that at the end of their research and the end of formulas lies a human being.... a person with a soul.
A heart, and mind that cannot be disconnected from this mortal coil... the tether that binds us together but remains intangible is our longing for love.
And I don't mean love in a romantic sense but unconditional community.
Don't mistake my remarks for the ever so popular new wave of communism that sweeps this nation. But humanity needs to be reminded of the needs of others the cares of other and the longings of all around us.
