    We CAN hurt them!

    Stop buying foreign products, if you don't have to have them ASAP!

    I know, it's hard to find something other than socks that are made here, but we can also quit buying from businesses that hire illegals here, and businesses that have given our jobs away to foreigners.

    Everyone go to www.congress.org and tell them you won't buy more chinese and other products.....also tell your reps....but please let's see lots of these messages on congress.org!
    Do not vote for Party this year, vote for America and American workers!

    Moosetrack.......Congress.org would be a good place to get the message before the peoples eyes. However, I have found that the rep's you send the letters to........largest part of the time don't get those letters. They don't intend to. I found this site that your emails DO get to them

    http://www.conservativeusa.org/mega-cong.htm

    They DO receive your messages you send from there.

    Somebody in Congress should have been raising a fit about all of the above and more. They have to know about it. If we common citizens know about this, THEY HAVE TO!
    Oh they know and there have been a few fits and there seems to be some resistance recently since the U.S. is becoming the bane of the U.N. Someone (don't ask me to remember who now my mind is maxed but someone in congress recently proposed a resolution to reduce the amount of U.S. dues paid to the U.N.

    This page gives you the agenda for what we are seeing fulfilled today.

    Agenda 21 interesting dates December 1992 and 1997 I ran over it pretty fast there are pages upon pages of " results of the global agendas" as of 1997. To interject one possible reason we are caught up in this mess, in 1993 this nation went bankrupt yet again. Loosing our financial sovereignty just as the Republic did in 1933. In 1997 the currency changed. Anyone look at a one dollar bill lately? check it out if you want to ruin your day.

    It would appear from a speed read that the U.N. (and who they represent) require a nice uniform level of poverty, although their goal is to erradicate poverty in order to accomplish that it stands to reason whatever the level of income in third world nations it would not meet the standards of average income set by the United States or Canada or European countries therefore not only do they dumb down the people of those nations but they reduce the level of average income.

    They want world wide control of natural resources and no doubt population control and all other big brother societal engineering horrors you want to imagine. To accomplish this prosperous nations must blend and support less prosperous nations. Share the wealth is basically what this is about. The world to meet their agenda must go back to fuedal status and REAL freedom cannot be allowed to exist. Therfore the United States is truly their target. All other populations are subjects of some kingdom, monarchy or dictator. Just aside note the North American Union is just a "zone" to these individuals. Cultures will be eliminated so as to discourage an prejudice I suspect. WHO DO THESE PEOPLE THINK THEY ARE!

    The U.N. can only make resolutions it cannot issue mandates or order sovereign nations so it relies upon compliance and therein lies more deception and treachery than one person can read in one day.

    I still maintain 25,000 people cannot control billions but the problem is there are more poverty stricken nations than there are successful ones. The question is then can 25,000 people control millions.

    Maslow's hierarchy of needs

    crazybird,

    I think this is what you were referring to.

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maslow's_hierarchy_of_needs

    Maslow's hierarchy of needs
    From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
    Jump to: navigation, search
    Maslow's hierarchy of needs is a theory in psychology that Abraham Maslow proposed in his 1943 paper A Theory of Human Motivation, which he subsequently extended. His theory contends that as humans meet 'basic needs', they seek to satisfy successively 'higher needs' that occupy a set hierarchy. Maslow studied exemplary people such as Albert Einstein, Jane Addams, Eleanor Roosevelt, and Frederick Douglass rather than mentally ill or neurotic people, writing that "the study of crippled, stunted, immature, and unhealthy specimens can yield only a cripple psychology and a cripple philosophy." (Motivation and Personality, 1987)

    Diagram of Maslow's hierarchy of needs.
    1. Physiological (Biological needs)
    2. Safety
    3. Love/Belonging
    4. Status (Esteem)
    5. Actualization
    Maslow's hierarchy of needs is often depicted as a pyramid consisting of five levels: the four lower levels are grouped together as deficiency needs associated with physiological needs, while the top level is termed growth needs associated with psychological needs. While our deficiency needs must be met, our being needs are continually shaping our behaviour. The basic concept is that the higher needs in this hierarchy only come into focus once all the needs that are lower down in the pyramid are mainly or entirely satisfied. Growth forces create upward movement in the hierarchy, whereas regressive forces push prepotent needs further down the hierarchy.

    1.2 Safety needs
    1.3 Love/Belonging needs
    1.4 Status (Esteem needs)
    2 Being needs
    2.1 Self-actualization
    2.2 Self-transcendence
    3 Counterpositions
    4 People

    [edit]
    Deficiency needs
    The deficiency needs (also termed 'D-needs' by Maslow) are:

    [edit]
    Physiological needs
    The physiological needs of the organism, those enabling homeostasis, take first precedence. These consist mainly of:

    the need to breathe
    the need for water
    the need to eat
    the need to dispose of bodily wastes
    the need for sleep
    the need to regulate body temperature


    When some of the needs are unmet, a human's physiological needs take the highest priority. As a result of the prepotency of physiological needs, an individual will deprioritize all other desires and capacities. Physiological needs can control thoughts and behaviors, and can cause people to feel sickness, pain and discomfort.

    Maslow also places sexual activity in this category, as well as bodily comfort, activity, exercise, et cetera.

    [edit]
    Safety needs
    When the physiological needs are met, the need for safety will emerge. Safety and security rank above all other desires. These include:

    Security of employment
    Security of revenues and resources
    Physical security - safety from violence, delinquency, aggressions
    Moral and physiological security
    Familial security
    Security of health
    A properly-functioning society tends to provide a degree of security to its members. Sometimes the desire for safety outweighs the requirement to satisfy physiological needs completely.

    [edit]
    Love/Belonging needs
    After physiological and safety needs are fulfilled, the third layer of human needs is social. This involves emotionally-based relationships in general, such as:

    friendship
    sexual intimacy
    having a family
    Humans want to be accepted and to belong, whether it be to clubs, work groups, religious groups, family, gangs, etc. They need to feel loved (sexually and non-sexually) by others, and to be accepted by them. People also have a constant desire to feel needed. In the absence of these elements, people become increasingly susceptible to loneliness, social anxiety and depression.

    [edit]
    Status (Esteem needs)
    Humans have a need to be respected, to self-respect and to respect others. People need to engage themselves in order to gain recognition and have an activity or activities that give the person a sense of contribution and self-value, be it in a profession or hobby. Imbalances at this level can result in low self-esteem, inferiority complexes, an inflated sense of self-importance or snobbishness.

    [edit]
    Being needs
    Though the deficiency needs may be seen as "basic", and can be met and neutralized (i.e. they stop being motivators in one's life), self-actualization and transcendence are "being" or "growth needs" (also termed "B-needs"), i.e. they are enduring motivations or drivers of behaviour.

    [edit]
    Self-actualization
    Self-actualization (a term originated by Kurt Goldstein) is the instinctual need of humans to make the most of their unique abilities and to strive to be the best they can be. The more recent "Evolving Self-Actualization" (a term originated by William C. Palmer) is becoming widely accepted in the scientific community as building on Goldstein and Maslow by incorporating the human need to self-actualize and re-new the process from the newly actualized higher self. (Modern Psychological Perspective, MCC Press) Maslow describes self-actualization as follows:

    Self Actualization is the intrinsic growth of what is already in the organism, or more accurately, of what the organism is. (Psychological Review, 1949)
    Maslow writes the following of self-actualizing people:

    They embrace the facts and realities of the world (including themselves) rather than denying or avoiding them.
    They are spontaneous in their ideas and actions.
    They are creative.
    They are interested in solving problems; this often includes the problems of others. Solving these problems is often a key focus in their lives.
    They feel a closeness to other people, and generally appreciate life.
    They have a system of morality that is fully internalized and independent of external authority.
    They judge others without prejudice, in a way that can be termed objective
    And you're right. If people are having to walk miles to get water, and don't know whether or not they will eat, or if they can sleep safely, or are ill (Malaria, for example)...They do not, cannot care about politics.

    During the Vietnam war, we knew a Vietnamese student who was taking a math class from my husband, at the university. We frequently had students at our home. One day, the subject shifted from pure math to the war. We asked him about it. He said "We asked for food, and the USA gave us guns. The communists gave us food." I only bring this up to point out that most of the world is NOT as fortunate as we are. People will give up freedom for food, to survive another day. That was his point.

    Yes, they can. If and only if the governed allow it.

    Even the poorest countries have wars amongst tribes/clans/groups of people (whatever you want to call them). Look at Somalia, Dafur, the Congo, Iraq (between the Sunni & Shia), ...every continent, every group in history. The people with the power, and they can be few in number, have something that makes them more powerful, for example, people on horses are more powerful than people on foot.
    It only took a relatively few patriots to use guerilla tactics to beat the British army.

    Here on this site, we are engaged in getting the word of what's being done to our nation, out to the citizenry using our minds/computers/faxes/phones. We will vote the lawBreakers out of office.

    Sorry for the length of this post, but actually, crazybird, Maslow's hierarchy of needs, might actually explain the situation from the pyschological viewpoint of why so many don't want to get involved at this time.
    TIME'S UP!
