if you believe in it, it will exist or else nothing really exist?

Reminds me of a story. Yamaoka Tesshu, as a young student of Zen, visited one master after another. He called upon Dokuon of Shokoku. Desiring to show his attainment, he said: "The mind, Buddha, and sentient beings, after all, do not exist. The true nature of phenomena is emptiness. There is no relaization, no delusion, no sage, no mediocrity. There is no giving and nothing to be received." Dokuon, who was smoking quietly, said nothing. Suddenly he whacked Yamaoka with his bamboo pipe. This made the youth quite angry. "If nothing exists," inquired Dokuon, "where did this anger come from?" -

oops Well the Swans have not faired so well against City.

Lately Swansea has done well against Man Utd so I feel pretty confident at least at home in that one. I think there overall record history is pretty close if I recall.

when it comes to eating german Shepard crap and Doberman crap I chose not to partake in eating crap

You may be correct. You seem very confident almost as if you have empirical evidence to prove your claim. I remain agnostic as I do not know what happens to consciousness after the body ceases to function.

Real capitalism does not exist. It is a unicorn in your mind. There is state and corporate capitalism which is where people will go while in this stage of their evolution. Once humans become more evolved they will understand and go with a compassionate based system.

YIKES!!! Unfortunately USSR and North Korea prove this incorrect. State capitalism is still capitalism. I think it time to try out another method.

Approach all things with compassion, humility and moderation. With that said you only need to look at the poorest of people to see if a countries economic program is a success. When people are better off going to prison than to live in the streets it is a terrible system. Karl is correct about the government in a sense. The corporations now have the politicians in their back pockets and that is how we have now managed to become a plutocracy. I would model after Canada or Denmark perhaps Sweden. That is not optimal but far better in line with compassion, humility and moderation than the USA.

I will have to address this tomorrow.

I agree. It is an illusion. If everyone went to school and got a doctorate there would still be people manning the walmarts, mcdonalds low paying jobs of the world etc. It is that way with a terrible system. Class hierarchy.
