NWO and other things out-worldly

I was watching a talk show on PBS this past weekend where the host had a guest (I don’t know what show or who the guest or host was) talking about monuments in our society. Specifically, when, why and how these things are important to us. The part that I saw they were talking about the differences between monuments built for WWII and Vietnam. The Vietnam War Memorial was built within 10 years of the end of the war and the WWII monuments were built much longer after the war. The Vietnam monument is a wall with a list of the names of the people who died during the war. Most WWII monuments are representitive of events that took place during the war.

I submit to you that this is a direct comparision of society today. Up to, and during WWII the “Greater Good” was more on the minds of the general population. To be more specific, I believe that society as a whole thought and acted in a way that was good for the group or society. The individual needs were put aside for the needs of the community. Hence the monuments reflect this type of thinking. I submit for your examination the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier, and the statue of the rasing of the flag on Iwo Jima. No names of these soldiers, just the deeds done. In direct contrast, the Vietnam memorial is a list of the individuals. No deeds, just the individuals.

Some where along the way the needs of the individual came to the fore front. We have given up what is good for society for what is good for the one. I think back to the movie Star Trek:The Wrath of Kahn…. Spock put it so well as he was dying… “The needs of the many out weigh the needs of the few, or the one”. I think this is one of the major issues facing us as a society. Because we are catering to the needs of the one our society as a whole suffers.
