ReviewsUser Review - Parker   [Flag as inappropriate]Well written and self explanatory. I suppose it is just a coincidence that most of the event/scenarios and their solutions are actually taking place today despite real conclusive evidence. The global governing body they are proposing will be signed into international law with the Copenhagen treaty this December 2009. If you don't want your country to be governed by a self proclaimed and open group of Eugenicist, I suggest you educate yourselves and others.

In the past there were always some elders who knew more than any children in terms of their experience of having grown up within a cultural system. Today there are none.

May I not stumble while I live in the world. Whatever I dig from thee, Earth, may that have quick growth again. O purifier, may we not injure thy vitals or thy heart.
