A Quantum change: Let us Welcome Effectively Human.com

The Age of Light is upon us...

 
As suggested in our  recent   post,'The Age of Light'  here at Incoming Bytes, we would like to believe that a quantum change in humanity is on the way.  The status quo is clearly unacceptable and not sustainable. Perhaps the concept of the  Age of Light   is already at hand. We would like to believe in humanity.  We would like to believe mankind can substantially improve the lot of  all human beings regardless of where they are on the earth. 
 Notice  the phrase  "we would like to believe" ?  Is humanity smart enough collectively to initiate enough necessary change that will significantly alter the course of civilization?  All it takes is one small step at a time by enough individuals to effect a quantum change for all of humanity.


There are clearly people that do care where we are headed and would like humanity to be more focused, gentle, kinder, more--effectively human. People that believe in the dignity and sanctity of life and are willing to put themselves out there and speak up. Let us try honesty rather than hypocrisy. Let us not couch terms and pretend innocence. Let us truly value human life.  
Such are the people at www.effectivelyhuman.com, a site dedicated to the affirmation of human life.
Let us welcome effectivelyHuman.com  and help contribute to the improvement of civilization in any way possible.  We need to reinvent society and the way it functions.  We need to value humans individually and collectively-- with dignity. 
Visit  www. effectivelyHuman.com soon,  and think about what you can do to help yourself, your family,  others, and explore humanity itself.  We encourage the reader to participate.
See you there.
The Age of Light may be closer than we think.





That's my story and I'm sticking to it.

Mad Dogs, Desert Heat and Political Correctness

It is sad to note the furious and seemingly  demented leader of Libya,  Moammar Gadhafi  has unleashed  military might  against  innocent civilians in recent days, and sworn in endless publicized rants that he would  die a martyr, rather than step down.  Not surprisingly, the citizens of Libya have been protesting and calling for change, much like the rest of the Arab world. 
 Any sane, otherwise genuine leader  in a  country populated by people calling for change in the real world  would remember that any leadership holds ONLY  a mandate to do what is best for, and to protect the civilian population, but Gadhafi clearly  thinks otherwise.  He believes he can murder  unruly segments of his population with impunity and without recourse. 

At his orders, crowds of protesters  have been shot, --not with rubber bullets, but with live ammunition.   Gadhafi's  military, henchmen and even reportedly foreign mercenaries have killed hundreds of innocent people and the Libyan air force has bombed civilian targets  with  military aircraft.  
The pointed question must be asked:  
Why is the response of the civilized world not  one of immediate action instead of political correctness? Are we, yet again,  limited to  merely "condemning" crimes against humanity?

In CIVILIZED CANADA,  Prime Minister Stephen Harper said it was "outrageous and unacceptable" (1) .   Since when is murder of  hundreds of innocent people  merely "outrageous and unacceptable"?  
  It is, in  the real world,  mass MURDER.  Let us call it what it IS, an ongoing criminal act that must be stopped.

Liberal leader Michael Ignatieff was  equally  "politically correct", saying in a statement: 
"The brutal attacks on the Libyan people by Libyan security forces are an affront to every standard of human rights," .
Again,  that description is hardly strong enough;  we believe we should call such attacks  what they ARE, the blatant and inexcusable,  abuse of power,  murder and a crime against humanity,  --and insist upon a global response. Political correctness is not sufficient.

Innocent protesters being killed viciously by their own military is outrageous, unacceptable, and  indeed "an affront to every standard of human rights", but the result, of that " affront" , is clearly mass murder,  genocide, and a crime against humanity which needs to be addressed immediately by the global community.   

Millions of people in the  so-called ' modern, civilized world'  have watched and  tolerated this rabid,  mad dog wandering around in the desert heat long enough.  Is the world to stand by mute, and watch another instance of mass genocide? 
In the real world, the time for political correctness has ended.  The "man" in Libya with "an alternative reality",  "anger management issues" and "delusions of grandeur" --- to be "politically correct",  must be removed from any position of authority and brought to justice by the global community,  and soon.  


That's my opinion, and I'm sticking to it, politically correct or not.
