Thank you Elon for offering to help Thai children. Any rescuers criticizing others efforts to brainstorm; be creativity; problem solve or think outside the box believing they are "special" TEAM members are most assuredly motivated by self-interest, ego and after the fact bravado.
I have crawled out from the rubble and stretch my eyes upwards toward the light and smile. I am the creator and nurturer of my family.
I value my first, second and third family because they are a part of me - the good, the bad and the ugly.
Carl Rove has polled people's fears well and won elections. Try running a country that way... Oh Bush did, worked well didn't it?
What does religion use as a motivator? A catalyst for belief, fear. Belief = heaven. Disbelief=hell I am not buying it.
There very well may be a God, but you do not represent him to me. No man represents God, so stop talking about God.
The problem with the premise of religion being the suspension of reason, is that you can be persuaded through religion to believe anything.
The premise of religion is that you must put reason aside. For example, heaven, hell, soul, miracles, resurrection, second coming.
The politics of fear, secrecy, cronyism, blind faith and a degradation of the public sphere has created a world hostile to reason. Al Gore
