This article is not going to be of the most politically correct that I've done, but then again, when was I ever politically correct? I'd like to rant about racism in the US.

To get the obvious point aside, Barack Obama, the first (half) black president of the US, will soon be completing his first year in office. Say what you want about him, the previous president has been more destructive then any other in our history.

Now aside from the American people electing a man of color as their leader, I'd like to also point out the spread of Hip Hop and R&B music among the American youth and it's dominance of popular radio.

With all due respect to the black and ethnic population in the US, WHAT IS YOUR FUCKIN PROBLEM?

Yes, the majority of the black population is in poverty. Yes there are still assholes who hold on to racial discrimination. Yes, people are still ridiculed, attacked and even murdered because of ethnicity. But SERIOUSLY, this is NOTHING compared to what it used to be, or how it still is across the ocean!

Just take a look at your relatives still living across the oceans. They are living in conditions that do not compare even to the worst off of the slums in the US. Indeed most families living in poverty in the US have a roof above their head and food on their plate EVERY DAY, not to mention public schools and medicare. This is better off than 55% of the worlds population! And here's a little secret you should know- these people living in deeper poverty than us in America aren't even half as violent as we tend to be towards each other! Don't take my word for it, research this yourself!

I've heard people whining and complaining about how hard it is living in the ghetto, and how terrible people behave their and how nasty the conditions are there. Well here's what you do- you clean it up! You live in a run down home? Fix it! You only have on computer? Use it!

The poorest and most poverty stricken ghettos in the US have more resources then some of the biggest cities in Africa! The potential hiding in the ghettos is exponentially powerful. Look at stories such as Obama's, Opera's and JZ's, these are people who grew up in bad conditions but resolved to pull themselves out and create a better life for themselves and those around them.

RISE UP, BE STRONG, BE POWERFUL, for THOU ART GOD!

You, who are living in poverty, who are waiting on the government or leadership or some organization to help you, don't you think you've waited long enough? Sure, someone might come through to help you up, but why don't you get up and rebuild yourself now instead of waiting around for them to do it?

I am often asked, what my opinion is, of the coming end of the world prediction of December 21, 2012 and whether, with all my knowledge, something will happen or if it will be a day like any other day. I want to give you the truth, the whole truth and the exact truth of exactly what is going to happen in the upcoming years.

I have long maintained that the has no significance in itself. If that day will come, as it soon will, and nothing happens, it will surprise me non-at-all. But it is not the date that is of significance, but the event.

People have been saying, for the last two thousand years, that the end of the world is at hand, and yet it has failed to occur, as is evident by you reading this. But how long will we maintain our lives as they are?

But the truth is that while the end of our society and everything we know is at hand, it will  not be done by Armageddon or an Apocalypse. It will not be a meteor or asteroid or planet Nibiru. It will not be a magnetic shift or the polar caps melting. It will not be by aliens or invaders.

The end of the world as we know it will be done at the hands of our greatest enemies of all- ourselves.

That is right, we are our own worst enemy, and you probably know this already.

What you don't know is that it won't be what you expect. No, global warming by our hands will not kill us off, neither will a nuclear winter or global warfare. Well, not exactly.

To understand how we are going to make the future happen, imagine the most powerful people on this planet, the people with the most influence, will power, courage and ability to make what they want happen. Now imagine one person who had unlimited power like that, a man with so much power could be a serious menace, couldn't he?

Now imagine a group of people with virtually unlimited power over this world, scary, no?

Now imagine a whole nation! Such a nation would be able to do untold acts both good and evil.

But now try to imagine an entire world where everyone in it had untold power over everything around them. While you are unable to imagine such a thing I assure you that is exactly the world we are headed towards.

The scariest thing in the world is the insanity that is every man having full freedom, and no one being able to stop us.

We humans possess a vast amount of power within each of us, but we are scared to let this power out. Imagine what the world would be like if we did?

But we can't hold the power in for much longer. Soon we will walk as gods and the earth itself shall tremble and weep. A world out of control, it is both scary and amazing to think of such a thing.

The great choice that we all must make, both as individuals and as a whole, is if we are going to use this immense power for good or evil? What, indeed, will we all choose to focus our powers on? And if we will use it to create a new world, or let it destroy ourselves?

I saw your face today, In the face of a stranger
But when I looked again, You were not there anymore

I heard your voice today, In the middle of a crowd
I turned around to listen, But did not hear a sound

I felt your touch today, In the blowing wind
I clung to that moment, Held it to its end

I cried over you today, Drowned in my own sorrow
Then I came to realize, There is always a tomorrow
