The Rights of the Children

When a child is born into this world... are their basic human rights provided to them? Are they ensured that they will be cared for properly? Are they ensured that they will have a home, health care, food and parents that are in a position to effectively support them in growing up in our world? Some yes - those with Money; money is currently the determining factor of what kind of life you live and whether you have access to any form of human rights. However, many no - because many within our world are not guaranteed money, and thus are not guaranteed access to basic human rights. Actually - no one is guaranteed basic human rights. We might think we are, and even the United Nations have so graciously placed words on a document saying that each and every human being does in fact have 'inalienable' rights as a human - that are the basic requirements in order to live a decent life on Earth. But is this guaranteed? No because money is what buys us that, and again, not all have access to enough in order to actually provide it for themselves. Basic Human rights are implied to be given freely, to All, as an understanding of what is required to survive in this world, and yet - this is not given.

The only guarantee that we have is if we make enough money, then we can buy ourselves the comforts that shelter us from a World that does not support any one's Basic Right to Life.

And children are victims in our World and this acceptance.

Children are born into a world where the parents have no clue how to raise them, as they were raised by the generation before who had no clue how to raise them, and before them the same and so a pattern has been repeated throughout time, as parents are simply the product of a world that does not actually care enough to Live the Words it speaks or writes - as we have the words placed - we see what is necessary for a Human to be able to Live and yet it is not implemented. It is not enforced. It is simply there, in the background without action. And thus parents are teaching, as they have been taught, to not ask any questions and simply accept our World to be the way it is - where some are fortunate and others are not.

Do we have any right to bring a Child into this world? While so many children that are here are not being provided their basic human rights? Isn't it our responsibility to ensure that ALL humans are given their rights to life - actually their ABILITY to live - should we not first ensure this is a reality for all before we continue to bring children into this world that does not prove that it can support them?

Obviously children are going to be born into this world - we will not stop that, however then we MUST consider preparing a reality that is best for them. Surely that is what we would like for ourselves? I mean, have we stood in the shoes of the children? Wouldn't we want to be supported with proper health, diet, a family unit that can create a stable human and not an emotional, self interested consumer that continues to not care about this world? Wouldn't we like to be able to be educated? Wouldn't we like the opportunity to express and explore what this real world - the natural world, has to offer? Wouldn't we like to be able to take care of ourselves? Wouldn't we like to be able to live a fulfilling life where ALL our basic rights as a human are met and provided for? Surely we would - so why are we not ensuring that this is a reality? Why do we think we can continue to ignore the fundamental problem of our society - that no human rights are being offered or given and millions of children are continued to be allowed within this world without assuring any kind of safety or future for them. In fact - the future we are currently creating for the children to come is of misery.

Time to become responsible and get out of the 'now' of what is right in our immediate attention and consider the consequences of our lack of action. What kind of future are we possibly creating from where we are currently standing? It is clear, one that is NOT best for our children, or for ourselves and each other.

Investigate the Equal Life Foundation as an Organization actually providing a solution to our World and the Problem that we currently face - Children without Basic Human Rights. Become an advocate for Life and give your Life to ensure we leave a place worthy for the Children to come. Stand in the shoes and realize you would want this for yourself.

1 Person Starves = Humans have Failed

Currently I am taking an Environmental Science course. Within this course, we are learning about the basic understandings of different Environmental Sciences, such as Ecology, Sociology, and Economics. While it's an interesting class and am appreciating the course - there is one thing... one statement my Professor keeps making... and I just want to correct him every time.

While discussing the topic of Human Population and food production, he always claims, "we produce enough food to feed the human population, yet we do not distribute it Equally" then he will go on to say, "this is about our Economics," he will further add, "even with more humans on the planet today then 150 years ago, we are doing a better job now feeding people then we were."



And... what is your point? Have we forgotten that despite what "progress" we believe we have made, Humans are STILL STARVING. And the point of there being less starving people today then there was 150 years ago is not even a point to be made, because people are still starving. The fact that even ONE child - ONE human being is denied food, that WE are producing for ALL to be able to eat - the fact that one person is denied nourishment - we have not evolved, we have not made any progress and we have not got a clue. If there is enough food to feed everyone... why are people starving? Yes - because of our Economic System. Because of the way we are distributing the resources of this Earth, which by the way, is GIVEN freely.

What are we waiting for? To be the ONE person that is still starving? Then perhaps will we care enough to hear... care enough to make the change? That is where we have failed... failed to stand in the shoes of ALL being in this world, and realize... we would not like to be the the ones on the other side, the ones that are still being shit on by our accepted unequal distributions of resources. Time to Stop. Time to Stand Equal.

So what are we missing? Our Money God as Profit being accepted as more valuable than LIFE itself.

How do we fix this? Simple - take the one resource we have deemed "almighty" and give to ALL Equally! Equal Money = Equal Distribution of Resources.

Wow - what a simple solution!

This is not to talk shit about my professor, don't get me wrong. I just wanted to share this most simple point, if we have the power to CHANGE this world, and yet suffering still exists - then we cannot claim to have evolved as a species. We cannot claim to be a superior species. We have in fact failed at our ability and potential to actually Live in caring for All life that is here, as this Earth, as ourselves.

So - let's stop patting ourselves on the back for a job we have not yet completed. Time to take responsibility in implementing the SOLUTION that is already here. Stop World Hunger. Stop Poverty. Stop unnecessary death. Be One Vote for an Equal Money System and let's once and for All Live as the advanced Species we so righteously claim. Time to make it Real.

Check out the Equal Money site and cast your vote on policies that we are busy walking a process to implementing. Be a part of the Money Revolution, where we are no longer serving the Money God as our profit, I mean prophet that we so blindly follow, and start realizing we already have the solution to change this world into What is Best for ALL!
