I awakened from my induced comatose sleepwalk several years ago. It all began when I became upset at wondering where a certain technology was. Knowing full well, and proven correct that the human race was capable, and yet it was literally crushed. I didn’t know it at the time but I had began a world view life altering journey where I often found myself saying ‘how much more could there be?’. As painful as this roller coaster ride has been I have determined one very important thing. All of the earths peoples are very much like one another. It is the governments that either allow or commit injustices from horrendous crimes against humanity to small corrupted infractions. The people of the earth have had little say and when a leader rises above and dedicates themselves to their citizens they are given an intimate meeting with a bullet.
I have one suggestion. You may want to consider leaving out the personal party preferences in your opening pages. It would be sad to see such a beautiful idea become just another form of division. Leave the personal opinions to the balkers.
Other than that I beleive it’s true love <3
i heard about this site on a comment about a local news article

Thought I’d visit and glad I did.
A person was commenting on a Denver Post article about health care and about the future shortage of doctors. He said: “It’s morally wrong to leave 100 million Americans un or underinsured, 1 illness away from financial ruin. And it’s wrong to burden small business with the outrageous insurance costs also — saw a cool site; Balkingpoints ; awesome satellite view of earth

so I had to visit the site to see the awesome view of the earth!
I am excited to be here. I was invited here a while back from a fellow poster at npr.org, where I am called “Ear Rational”.
I finally sat down tonight with an attention span greater than the 1200 or so words allowed in responses over there. I hope what I write will be engaging!

Like this site, but where does the funding come from?
My paranoia fears the worst..
I saw a comment by a poster at the Tennessean newspaper. I was lured by the promise of a beautiful satelite pic of earth. I was not misled.
