"Exponential times" is similar to what I have been saying about the "exponential increase in knowledge and technology" due to the advent of the United States Capitalist system for many years. Two hundred years ago people were living the same way they had lived for 1,000 years. We have come many thousands of years in a few hundred. Where will it lead? If there ARE more advanced civilizations who visit us, are they more curious about us because of our rapid technological advances? In other words, do they watch us know to monitor our progress with concern that one day we will be a threat to them in their galaxy, whereas 200 years ago they did not? Food for thought. Will we master time travel?


"While Foreign Terrorists were plotting to murder and maim using homemade bombs in Boston, Democrap officials in Washington DC, Albany and here were busy watching ME and other law abiding American Citizens who are gun owners and taxpayers, in an effort to blame the nation's lack of security on US so that they could have a political scapegoat."

Technology is speeding ahead at the speed of light. But not in the good old usa! While the rest of the world is playing catch up, the usa is out apologizing to foreign countries, scaling down defense and trying to squash free speech! OH, and placing our financial future at risk.

We die long before we reach the speed of light.....our lives are that short...blink and dont blink.....we might just miss Rome burning...and the tower
of Babel falling.....


...you are a product of your environment, your environment is a product of your priorities, your priorities are a product of you......

The replacement of morality and conscience with law produces a deadly paradox.
