"Surrogates" or "Steel"?

This picture was used to depict an image for the new movie coming out called “Surrogates” with Bruce Willis in it, about a Technology has advanced enough so that nearly everyone has a surrogate - or "surry" for short. While reclining at home and plugged into a machine, people control a robotic version of themselves that safely maneuvers through the world in all of its slings and arrows.
But, as I take a look at this picture, to me it gives the impression that we are no longer frail or weak, or need emotion. That we are interchangeable? That we can replace what we don’t like?
We were made in the likeness of God, with heart, mind, and soul. We can and should continue to care for one another, care for our bodies, and work towards change, not replace it with metal…

Does the world evolve around money?

The world revolves around money? Ideology or truth?
So many of us have grown up thinking that we must keep up with the Jones, and outdo the generation before us, and keep working harder to make more money. But is that really truth or ideology of our ideas of money and the uses we have, the dependency of cold hard cash.
We need to get back to the basics of bartering, exchanging, working together, helping one another, blessing those that are around us. If we did more of these types of exchanges, we could work less, give more, and enjoy the life God has given us to be part of this society to bless others and receive blessings in return.

Strong versus weak news stories..

I chose two different types of stories, the first on Mr. Brad Pitts expensive tastes and how he chooses to spend his money, whether that be on gerbils his his choice and whether he uses wisdom or foolishness is his business, but the news reports think its a hot story to print.

On the other hand, my second story is about charter schools, since 2001, a half-dozen charter schools have found a way to double dip into state tax credit programs and get funding not only from their public status and earn up to $7332 per child already, but have managed to run the second half of their day for kindergarden as a private school thus receiving tax-credit donations for their schools besides the public funding they are receiving.
Please read for your self the injustice and un-ethical stance some schools have taken to display injustice and foul play @ AZ republic.com.
