Hurricane Sandy-An Act of God or Arrogance of Man


Before we really get started here, first please allow me to offer my thoughts and prayers to those most affected by Hurricane Sandy whether directly or indirectly.  We all stand together as brothers and sisters to offer any support that we can from physical labor, to donations and yes even in spirit.  Having said that let me now complete my obligation to the purpose of writing this.

 

Hurricane Sandy, like many other natural disasters are sometimes called “an act of God” for insurance purpose as well as to help many explain why it took place.  I find myself questioning that logic now more than ever because I have been exposed to a different point of view.  I awoke this morning with a burning desire to pen this article and I cannot honestly tell you why.  All I know is that when I get a calling such as this one, I am compelled to follow it. And so here we go.

 

When God first turned this world over to Adam and Eve, it was perfect.  Its abundance was here for all of us to share in and no one would need to go without anything they wished.  That was before man began to divide a land that did not belong to them and award certain rewards to those that suited their ideas.  We then morphed into robbing this world of its riches without replacing a single piece of it.  The only thing we returned to this world after raping it was that material that we did not want or need to fill our own coffers.  The refuge and garbage we bury into the earth contributes nothing good to it but this is but a slight annoyance brought on by those who know that we should be doing better.  Creating factories and plants that rob the air of its nurturing essences and then refusing to even consider this as an option for treating this world better. 

 
It is easily assumable that the natural disasters plaguing this world now is the earth responding to our lack of respect of it and begging for us to finally pay it just little bit of attention.  Has the arrogance of man condemned us to a world that was asking for help but now demanding it?  Will we finally begin to treat this world half as well as it has been treating us for so long?  Are we smart enough to gather from her what we need to survive without damaging her beyond repair?  These questions may never be answered and may continue to be ignored but before we all leave this world you can count on all of us being saddled with that failure.  Pay back is coming and because we choose to bury our head in the sand or blame the status of this world on others, none of us will escape responsibility.  This you can be sure

Movie Review-Harlan Coben's Shelter

  The movie Shelter is based on the bestselling series by Harlan Coben, it follows the story of Mickey Bolitar (Jaden Michael) after the death of his father leads him to start a new life in suburban New Jersey. When another new student disappears, Mickey finds himself tangled in a web of secrets. With the help of two new friends, Spoon (Adrian Greensmith) and Ema (Abigale Corrigan), they reveal a dark underground that may hold the answers to decades of disappearances. Keeping me totally engrossed from the first episode to the last was not really the storyline or the actions and dramas, it was how awesomely those actors and actresses played their roles.   It seemed so effortless, watching them, that it was easy to forget it was a movie/series. I could not control my anxiousness to start the next episode.   Not many movies can make me feel the same emotions that the players were supposed to feeling but man, this was one and that journey this series took me on was one that I must go on

The Determination of History to Repeat Itself is Due to our Cowardice to Stop It

  America has always been the land of opportunity however we have become lax in our efforts to ensure that this right is made available for all of us to achieve and enjoy.   Far too often, those who see themselves in a position of authority or great wealth begin to confuse themselves with an idea that since you may be thought of as successful, means your now have the power and authority to dictate to everyone else. This lying power makes those allowed to flex it feel bigger and better than they really are.   It gives them a false sense of righteousness and security over all people, places, and things which must be corrected before we completely lose our very humanity. Every last one of us knows this is wrong but history has allowed these individuals to exercise this false position of power without consequences and punishment. Every one of us is guilty of sitting on our hands and waiting on someone else to save us instead of finding our own intestinal fortitude to save ourselves.   We

The Truth about Malcolm X’s Murder Begins and Ends with Louis Farrakhan

What made Malcolm Little stand out from all those born during his era went far beyond intelligence to a point of realism.  History tells us that as a young child, he was subjected to his “Lansing Michigan home being burned to the ground” and the body of his father, Earl, being found “lying across the town’s trolley tracks”.  Both of these incidents were reported by the police as accidents even though there were evidence that the white supremacist organization Black Legion could have been behind this.  He was also subjected to his mother losing her mind, having to be institutionalized and all eight children, including himself” split up amongst various foster homes and orphanages”.   This education and the education of the streets allowed him the opportunity to reexamine his life and the direction it was going while he spent months and even years behind bars for the crimes he committed during his youth.  He finally decided to dedicate his life to a higher calling and was seduced by
