Politics is a power game played by those men and women who wish to keep their enormous power from being diminished. Their number one incentive, which they work very hard at to accomplish, is being reelected. After all, it provides them with a level of benefits that you and I could only hope for. Government for the people takes only a distant second place in their political execution.
Religion's origins came from a lack of education, superstition, ignorance of the unknown, and people's quest for power. Enticing, but false, incentives have been the glue that binds the flock to the promise givers for thousands of years. That is unlikely to change in the foreseeable future. We follow our hearts rather than our minds.
The intention of this book is to help raise people’s consciousness regarding the copious deceptive and deceitful practices that occur in society by discussing their root causes, and then presenting some of the negative manifestations of those behaviors. We can not expect to advance society by allowing these antisocial actions to go unacknowledged and not dealt with.
