A laptop computer (typewriter) stands on my desk, in my book lined study. It is a tangible symbol of mental youthfulness that makes me willing to use any modern tool I have found to be efficient. I type all my own stuff straight on the machine. I do not find that my work is any better, or any different, if I draft it by hand. To those dedicated writers, who believe every word must be hand-written, with pen or pencil, if not to suffer some subtle loss of quality. The laptop is just common sense, it is easy to use, not easy to leave behind, and so expensive that it will not get misplaced. I do not despise new-fangled things merely because they are new technology. This does not mean that I am one of those people who endeavor to cling to youth long after youth has gone. I try to delude neither myself nor anyone else by pretending I am not a young man, and I write frankly of many concerns of youth. However, neither love nor crushed red velvet jacket, nor a juicy valor track suit withstand the test of time.

Suppose this year that the federal government passes legislation to control population growth by limiting the size of each family to three children. Supposed they mandate the sterilization of each father, after his third child is born, and that is he refuses, he will be sterilized with or without his consent. Such an invasion of privacy would never be tolerated in the United States of America. However, family size is also an issue in America, China, and Japan. Standard food production costs are increasing, hygiene is becoming a concern, and medical care is costing taxpayers a trillion dollars each year. Most Americans take the luxuries they have for granted, and the population is growing at alarming rates. The human population has undergone rapid exponential growth since the mid-eighteenth century. Nature has made the heart the magnetic point of mutual attraction in affairs of a first and mutual passion, and the head of the wisest individual is here out of its sphere.

We now turn to the existing spectrum of life. Today, humans have the population size, technology, and the cultural inclination to use energy and modify the environment at astonishing rates. To gain perspective on what is happening; at sometime between 6 million and 4 million years ago, the first humans emerged. The birth year of the World’s billionth human very likely took place in the year 1805. By the year 1927, there were 2 billion people on Earth. Fast-forward to 2014, there are now 7 billion people on Earth any by year 2025, there will be 8 billion people on Earth, and it already seems like we are overcrowded. You cannot drive or walk down the street without being hit by a car, cannot get into an elevator, without smelling someone’s foul odor, and cannot walk outside your front door without two or three of your neighbors either fishing for information, trying to subliminally insult you, or saying hello. Still, health is the normal condition.

The human body is continually under siege. It is the preferred home for a variety of pathogens—including viruses, bacteria, fungi, protozoans, and parasitic worms. Sickness palls every appetite and makes us hate what we loved. Pathogen means that these agents are capable of infection—of invading and then multiplying in the cells and tissues of a host organism. Disease may be the outcome of an infection. It results whenever the body cannot mobilize its defenses quickly enough to prevent the pathogen’s activities from interfering with normal body functions. Direct contact, as by touching open sores or other lesions on an infected person can be a mode for disease transmission as well as some other mediums. Infected people also can transfer pathogens from such lesions to their own hands or mouth and so contaminate someone else through a handshake or a kiss. Gonorrhea, syphilis, and other sexually transmitted diseases are spread through direct contact.

Indirect contact can also spread disease, as by touching doorknobs, food, diapers, pet waste (even if it is in a plastic bag), hypodermic needles ( as used by drug abusers), or other objects that were previously in contact with an infected individual. Food that is moist, not refrigerated, and not too acidic can be contaminated by an assortment of pathogens, including the ones responsible for amoebic dysentery, bacterial dysentery (Shigella), and typhoid fever. Inhaling pathogens that have been injected into the air, as by coughs and sneezes can also cause illness, makes you think twice about pot luck or your next buffet, I suppose? Also, encounters with biological vectors can lead to disease. These include mosquitoes, flies, fleas, ticks, and other arthropods that transport pathogens from infected people or contaminated material to new host. Some say it is okay to wear a pair of jeans more than once, but you may want to wash them after every use. Many pathogens only use vectors like public seats, taxis, digital phones, keyboards, and microphones to spread disease and virus.

Bacteria and most protistans are microorganisms, meaning they are is so small that they cannot be seen without a microscope. There is a new class of pathogens, smaller than bacteria, currently being studied. Other the other hand, many viruses also can have devastating effects on humans, animals, insects, plants, fungi and bacteria. A virus is a noncellullar infectious agent having two characteristics. Viruses are not alive, and consist of a nucleic acid core (its genetic material) within a protective protein coat. Next, a virus can be replicated only after its genetic material has entered a host cell and subverted the cell’s biosynthetic machinery. The immune system can be weakened by chronic fatigue or chronic stress. In some cases, they can be essentially shut down (as during AIDS). AIDS eventually kills its victims, and there is no cure. So no sex is better than risky sex.

On rare occasions, cell-mediated immunity is weakened and the body becomes highly vulnerable to infections that might not otherwise be life threatening. This is what happens in AIDS (acquired immune deficiency syndrome). That is why the Centers for Disease Control recommend that all men, who are practicing homosexual contact, even if they are negative and disease free and using protection to use antiretrovirals drugs like Truvada. Huge prevention and reductions have been seen, in rates of infection, death and suffering when use is made of a potent ARV regimen, particularly in early stages of the disease. Daily doses of Truvada cut the risk of infection, by 44 percent, when prescribed with condoms, counseling and other prevention services. Men, who took their pills most faithfully, had even more protection, up to 73 percent. AIDS is a set of chronic disorders that can follow infection by the human immunodeficiency virus. AIDS is caused by the human immunodeficiency virus or HIV. The virus cripples the immune system. AIDS is mainly a sexually transmitted disease, with most infection occurring through the transfer of bodily fluids during vaginal or anal intercourse. Such fluids include blood, semen, and urine, anal and vaginal secretions. The virus enters the body through cuts or abrasions on the penis, vagina, or rectum, or by contact with your skin or the inside of your body, through mucous membranes in the mouth. Once inside the body, the virus locks onto cells that are capable of sustaining its replication.

There are currently 33.4 million people in the World living with AIDS. At first AIDS shows not symptoms and there is currently no vaccine. There is a common misconception that skinny people, especially those who are gay have AIDS, simply because they are thin. That is a myth, there are many people, who are and have AIDS. And as unfathomable as it may sounds, with the economy being so bad, so people even lie about having the terminal illness to get special consideration for jobs, promotions and housing. Nonetheless, more than 1.1 million people, in the United States of America, are living with HIV infections; and 16 percent of the cases, people who are infected are unaware of their infection. In 2013, 12,400 White men were infected with HIV, 10,800 Black men, and 7,200 Latino men. 80 percent of the infected White men report they got HIV from homosexual or bisexual contact, in contrast, 44 percent of Black men report getting HIV from homosexual or bisexual contact. 25 percent of all new HIV infections are from people ages 13 to 24, and since 1981, 25 million people have died from AIDS.

In 2008, 2 million people died due to HIV/AIDS, and another 2.7 million were newly infected. Almost all those living with HIV (97 percent) reside in low and middle income backgrounds or countries However, San Francisco, California is an exception, as it is a high rent district. The spread of HIV has led to massive public education programs, including the strongest possible advocacy for people to save their virginity, through celibacy, abstinence or by using latex condoms, together with a spermicide that contains nonoxynol-9, is assumed to be highly effective in stopping transmission—but there is still a small risk of irreversible infection. Openmouthed, intimate kissing, with a person who has AIDS or HIV should be avoided. Caressing carries no risk—if there are no lesions or cuts through which the virus can enter the body. Such lesions commonly accompany other sexually transmitted diseases, and they are apparently correlated with increased susceptibility to HIV infection.

Fevers are never at their height once, they must get there by degrees. Phillipe Padieu, age 53, from the state of Texas, had unprotected sex with six women, even after he learned he was HIV positive, in September 2005. In 2009, Phillipe Padieu was convicted on all six counts of assault with a deadly weapon. Prosecutors called Phillipe Padieu a predato, ticking time bomb, and weapon. All things going well, HIV cuts your life expectancy by 10 years, as a result, Phillipe Padieu could serve up to 99 years in a Texas prison. There are some landmarks on the road to the tomb, which, but for the impiety of the aspiration, many wished they never had passed. The greatest object in the Universe is health. You may be struggling financially and with adversity, yet there is still a greater, which is the good that comes to relieve it. There are so many draw backs to regard and intimacy may be one of them at times. We cannot always be repaired is not to be forgotten.

Midtown Sacramento, California was once known as the herpes triangle. Faces and a few other nightclubs formed this triangle. Genital herpes is also another extremely contagious viral infection of the genitals. It is transmitted when any part of a person’s body comes into direct contact with active Herpes viruses or sores that contain them. Mucous membranes of the mouth or genital area are especially susceptible to invasions, as is broken or damages skin. Transmission seems to require direct contact; the virus does not survive for long outside the human body. There are an estimated 20 million people with genital herpes in the United States of America alone. From 1965 to 1979, the number of reported cases increased by 830 percent, which is interesting because that is known as generation X. Generation X, commonly abbreviated to Gen X, is the generation born after the Western Post–World War II baby boom. And 200,000 to 500,000 cases of genital warts are still being reported annually. When a person of robust and vigorous constitution has a fit of sickness, it produces a much more powerful effect than the same indisposition upon a delicate valetudinarian.

The crime of having been maligned unjustly–resources are scares, in the all countries, and very few materials are discarded, expect for in America. Affluent counties, like the United States of America, especially, has a throwaway mentality, which prevails. Human capital uses something once, discards it, and then buys another one. Also, instead of repairing cars, many consumers drive them until they fall apart and buy a new one. In some countries, a person is lucky just to have one car, and in China, the license plate alone cost $5000.00 and many cars cost more than some homes. Only the wealthy people in China have nice cars.

As a result of consumer mentality– I have to have the best and newest product, billions of metric tons of solid wastes are dumped, burned, and buried annually, in the United States alone. In 2013, Americans generated about 255 million tons of trash. All of this trash is then taken to a landfill, where it is stored, until it decomposes. However, the problem is that much of the trash is toxic and is polluting the land and the water and making animals sick, who are feeding off of the waste. In addition, it is estimated that 60 billion beverage containers are part of the 255 million tons of trash, and one half of solid waste are paper (so much for the politically motivated plastic bag ban).

Many people believe that paper bags are an alternative to plastic, but half of the waste in landfills is paper. Furthermore, it takes more than 500,000 trees, which produce oxygen that cleans the air, just to supply the Sunday newspaper. Every week, if everyone in the United States of America recycled even one out of ten newspapers, we could save 25 million trees a year. Besides this, using recycled paper reduces air pollution that results from paper manufacture by 95 percent. And recycling paper takes 30 to 50 percent less energy than making new paper.

Associated with the throwaway mentality is a serious issue that is unique in the World of life what to do with solid wastes. I thought it will be a good idea to haul solid waste into space, and drop it back down to Earth, so it could disintegrate when it hits the atmosphere, but I am not sure if NASA or American Airlines likes this plan, as it could have some unintended consequences. Instead of recycling materials, as is done in natural ecosystems, we bury them in landfills or burn them in incinerators. Incinerators add some toxic pollutants to the air and leave a highly toxic ash that must be disposed of safely. In any event, land available and acceptable for landfills is scares because landfills eventually leak, and pose a threat to groundwater.

A transition from a throw away mentality to one based on recycling and reuse is feasible. Find ways to repurpose items before you end their lifecycle. It is affordable, and we have the technology to do it. Citizens can influence manufactures by refusing to buy good that are lavishly wrapped and boxed, packaged in indestructible containers, and designed for a one-time use. Remember McDonalds burgers used to come in those cute boxes? Well, now they are simply wrapped in wax paper. Individuals can ask the local post office to turn off their daily flow of junk mail (if we really want to save the environment, it goes beyond banning plastic bags).

Unsolicited mail wastes an astounding amount of paper, time, and energy—and it means higher postage rates and gasoline prices for everyone, also adds more pollution to the air and landfills. Finally, individuals can urge local governments to develop well-designed, large-scale resources recovery centers. Such a plant has been operating in Saugus, Massachusetts. With such systems, existing dumps and landfills would be urban mines, from which usable materials can be stored. After all, the will of sovereigns is generally admitted as a law.

We cannot be repaired is not to be regretted. Around 6 million to 4 million years ago, the first humans emerged. Like us, they breathed in oxygen, from an atmosphere, of ancient origins. These ancient humans also were protected from harmful ultraviolet radiation by an ozone shield, in the stratosphere. There populations were not significant, and their impact on the biosphere was not significant. However, about 10,000 years ago, agriculture began in earnest, and laid the foundation for rapid population growth. With agriculture, and the medical and industrial revolutions that followed, human population growth became exponential in a mere blip of evolutionary time—some would go as far to say the World is overpopulated and that is what is leading to all the conflict, wars, disease, and scarcity.

With that being said, if possible, it is best to reduce consumption of everything. If you can walk, then walk, instead of driving. When leaving a room, turn off the lights, use climate control as little as possible (maybe drink water to cool down and hot tea or coffee and a sweater to warm up), do not waste food or water. If you are not sure if you will like your cuisine or not, then buy something that you know you will enjoy. And if you can, save as much money as possible, for as long as you can; be sure to check out the sales racks and clearance racks, at the end of each season, to find stylish clothes you can wear next year. Simple things can make a huge difference. Also, do you really need cable? Over five years, consumers are spending an average of $8,400.00 on cable. That is crazy, would nice down payment on a car, or the start of that 20 percent down payment you will need when you buy a house.

Meanwhile, there is a tremendous amount of water in the World, yet three of every four humans do not have enough water or, if they do, it is contaminated. Most water is too salty for human consumptions or agriculture. So that rain that falls out of the sky is really a blessing. For every million liters of water, only about 6 liters are in a readily useable form. However, there have been consequences of large scale irrigation. 21 percent of the Earth’s land is now being used for agriculture. Expansion of agricultural production is coupled with the exponential growth of the human population—and about one-third of the food being produced today grows on irrigated land.

Water is piped in into agricultural fields from groundwater or from lakes, reservoirs, and other sources of surface water. Irrigation can change the productivity of the land. Water available for irrigation often is loaded with mineral salts. In regions where the soil does not drain well, evaporation may cause salination (salt accumulation) in the soil. Salination can stunt growth, decrease yields, and eventually kill crop plants. Also, improperly drained irrigated lands can become waterlogged. Water accumulating underground can gradually rise the water table (the upper limit of group that is fully saturated with water). When the water table is close to the surface, the soil around the plant roots becomes saturated with toxic saline water. Salinity and waterlogging can be corrected with proper management of the water-soil system. However, the economic cost can be high.

We use ground water for many purposes, but irrigation is often paramount. Nonetheless, major underground aquifers contain 95 percent of all fresh water. These aquifers are being depleted in many areas and contaminated elsewhere through pollution and saltwater intrusion. Consider what is happening to the Ogallala Aquifer in the United States of America. The Ogallala Aquifer occupies the High Plains of the United States, extending northward from western Texas to South Dakota. The Ogallala is the leading geologic formation, in what is known as, the High Plains Aquifer System. The entire system underlies 174,000 square miles of eight states, in America.

The Ogallala Aquifer is about 10 million years old, making in older than human life, on Earth. And sadly, The Ogallala Aquifer is being both depleted and polluted, at an alarming rate. Farmers withdraw so much water, from the aquifer that the annual overdraft (the amount of water not replenished) is nearly equal to the annual flow of the Colorado River (22.2 million acre feet). As a result, the already low water tables, in much of the United States of America, are dropping rapidly, and stream and underground spring flows are dwindling. However, since 1976, the Water Factory 21 Direct Injection Project, located in Orange County, California, has been injecting highly treated recycled water into the aquifer to prevent salt water intrusion, while augmenting the potable ground water supply. Still, this leaves many asking, where will the water come from when we deleted the aquifers?

Clean fresh water is arguably one of the World’s most valuable assets, but often times it is taken for granted. People look around and see all the water in the oceans and think we have an unlimited supply of water. However, that is not the case, 75 percent of the world is made up of water, but only 0.3 percent of that water is drinkable. We typically cannot drink seawater. The fresh water we drink comes from rivers and streams. The reason we cannot drink seawater is because it has a high salt content, and that would dehydrate one’s body, and it is might also cause high blood pressure.

As populations continue to grow, they demand for water is increasing greatly. The World’s water consumption is doubling every 20 years, and by 2025, the demand for water will exceed the supply of water by 56 percent. Water is very important, as we need it to wash clothes, shower, do dishes, feed livestock, and water crops. The United States uses about 346,000 million gallons of fresh water per day, and 80 percent of that is used for irrigation and the average person uses about 100 gallons of water per day. That is an incredible amount of water being used.

Without clean drinkable water, people will get sick and germs will spread because they cannot be washed away, so it is important that we do not waste water. Currently 1.1 Billion people lack access to clean drinking water. Some are speculating that not having enough water in the near future could lead to wars over water because water ways are shared by more than one authority and controlled by different counties. So scientists are looking for ways to combat these issues and ensure that we have enough water for everyone.

As you know, water is needed to build homes, create new businesses, raise livestock and it really improves our quality of life. It is a luxury to take a bath every day, wash your hair and prepare meals with fresh water. Most people typically feel better about themselves when they are clean. China is working to eliminate water waste, by allowing farmers to control their sprinklers, by mobile phone. The farmers are now able to insure the farms are being water adequately, without ever leaving the comfort of their home.

Since there is so much seawater, many people wonder why we do not filter the water in the ocean so that one will be able to drink it. The process of filtering seawater and making it drinkable is called Desalination. Desalination is not a new technology, but it is expensive. 97 percent of the water in the world is in the ocean. Since that is the case, we should be able to use that water to meet our needs. Many companies like general electric are investing in the future by creating machines that can desalinate water, at an affordable cost. There are about 12,500 desalination plants around the world, they produce about 14 million cubic meters of fresh water each day, but that is less than 1% of total consumption.

Coastal states like California and Florida have been producing desalinated water for years, but it is so expensive that it has not caught on. Nonetheless, with the demand of water increasing, investors are interested in preventing disasters, and looking to make a profit, while making water affordable. Some private investors have come up with ways to produce Desalinated seawater for $2 dollars per thousand gallons, but environmentalist are opposing the idea saying pumping high salinity waste water back into the ocean.

At some point, we have to learn to work together, and solve problems before they turn into major issues and people die. If we do not have clean water to drink, it will devastate our economy and greatly reduce the quality of life. It is important to honor the environment, but if we do not learn to properly work with the environment, this world will become a disaster. So instead of opposing ideas that will save us, like desalination of seawater, people need to come up with solutions.

Saudi Arabia and some other Persian Gulf countries desalinate seawater for their urban populations. However, those countries are among the very few with huge energy reserves and cash to spare. Yet, that is no excuse, as American is supposed to lead in innovation and finances. After suffering through prolonged droughts, cities along California coast are now willing to consider desalination, as well as reclamation of wastewater to irrigate landscaping. Conversely, such efforts cannot solve the core issue. Not having enough water is a serious issue. And unfortunately, the problem is being compounded by pollution of the water that is available. Water becomes unfit to drink, even swim in, once it contains human sewage, animal waste, dead flies, and various toxic chemicals. Those pollutants can encourage contamination, by pathogenic microbes. Agricultural runoff pollutes water with sediments, pesticides, and plant nutrients. Power plants and factories pollute water with chemicals, radioactive materials, and excess heat (thermal pollution).

Pollutants accumulate in lakes, rivers, and bays before reaching their ultimate destination, the oceans. Many cities throughout the World dump untreated sewage into coastal waters. Cities along rivers and harbor maintain shipping channels by dredging the polluted muck and barging it out to sea, and that is why the oceans in California and other parts of the United States of America are brown or dark green and not clear, blue or sea green. They barge out sewage sludge, also. (Sludge refers to coarse, settled solids. It contains bacteria, viruses, toxic metals, and possibly hospital waste.) Sometimes, following storms, this black sludge washes ashore.

The United States of America has about 15,000 facilities for treating the liquid wastes, from about 70 percent, of the population and 87,000 industries. The remaining wastes, mostly from suburban and rural populations, are treated in lagoons or septic tanks or discharged—untreated—directly into waterways. Since 1978, the upper Occoquan Sewage Authority has been discharging recycled water into a stream above Occoquan Reservoir, a potable water supply source for Fairfax County, Virginia. Nevertheless, most wastewater is not being properly treated. A typical pattern is repeated thousands of times, along our water ways. Water for drinking is removed upstream from a city, and wastes from industry and sewage treatment are discharged downstream. It takes no great leap of faith to see that pollution intensifies as rivers flow toward oceans.

As you may recall, there are three levels of wastewater treatment. In primary treatment, screens and settle tanks remove the sludge, which is then dried, burned, dumped in landfills, or treated further. *Chlorine often is used to kill pathogens, in the water, but it does not kill them all. Furthermore, chlorine may react with certain industrial chemicals to produce chlorinated organic compounds, some of which are carcinogens. In secondary treatment, microbial populations are employed to degrade the organic matter. Secondary treatment occurs after primary treatment, but before chlorination. The wastewater is either sprayed or trickled through large beds of exposed gravel, in which microbes live, or aerated in tanks and seeded with microbes. Toxic solutes sometimes poison the microbial employees, however.

The combination of primary and secondary treatment does remove most oxygen-demanding wastes and suspend solids. Still, considerable nitrogen, phosphorus, and toxic substances, including heavy metals, pesticides, and industrial chemicals still remain. Usually the water gets chlorinated before being released into the waterways, but sometimes not. Tertiary treatment is largely experimental. Tertiary treatment may adequately reduce pollution levels. Being expensive, It is used on only 5 percent of the nation’s wastewater.

In Louisiana, where waters drained from the central states flow toward the Gulf of Mexico, pollution levels are high enough to be a threat to public health. Water destined for drinking does get treated to remove pathogens. However, the treatment does not remove toxic wastes from numerous factories upstream. You may find it illuminating to investigate where your own city’s supply of water comes from and where is has been.

It is important to note that about 85-percent of the City of Sacramento, California’s drinking water comes from local rivers, not ground water. Ground water often times have chemicals like chromium 6 in it, which is a heavy metal. Chromium 6 can occur naturally but can also enter drinking water sources, by historic leaks, from industrial plants’ hazardous waste sites. When inhaled, Chromium 6 is known to be a potent carcinogen. Research also shows that in laboratory mice and rats, who were exposed to Chromium 6, through drinking water, the Chromium 6 was recently found to also cause cancer in these test subjects.

As the population increases, more demands are placed on water supplies, and recycled water may be a viable option. In Southern California, more than 66 percent of their water supply is imported from outside the region, mainly from the Sacramento River and The Colorado River.

Recycled water is wastewater from homes, businesses, and industry that, as a result of advanced treatment, has been made reusable again for various types of uses, treatments that exceed state and federal drinking water standards. Microfiltration and reverse osmosis are the most advanced phases of water treatment, and the final product is as pure as the bottled water you buy at your local supermarket. And by recycling water, we are cleaning it before it goes into the ocean, which will help keep the ocean and animals safe. Humans must never be a slave of routine; but in old days, it was a routine of great thoughts, and now it is a routine of little ones. If you want to mar a nature, you have to reform it.

How many ways are there to undo poor creatures! No speck so troublesome as self. He felt the same depression that he had felt as he went to sleep a century ago. And though he knew it would only make his depression worse, he immediately scanned backward as his ship decelerated, hunting for the star that had been the Sun. He could not find it. Which meant that even with the accelerated and decelerated time, the light from the nova—or supernova—had not yet reached the system he was headed for.

On 14 September 2014, around 11pm, a bight ball of light was seen heading toward Earth. The fireball was seen in Washington, D.C, the Northeast, and Midwest, and some people even saw the fireball in New York, New York, USA, and some report seeing five meteors fall before the fireball lite up the night sky. It is hard to believe that many people have never seen a falling star, or meteor. This is incredible because with the merest care and perseverance, one clear, dark night of observing will result in seeing not one, but many, even dozens of, meteors on some special nights.

For example, around August 11, observers under ideal conditions will catch the flash of 50 to 100 meteors an hour. This event is called the Perseid meteor shower, known to Europeans as the Tears of St. Lawrence. And, as we shall see, there are at least two other periods of the year—January and December—that offer activity on the same order magnitude. Rarer and much more remarkable, through, are so-called meteor storms, when as many as 10,000 to 20,000 meteors fall every hour. One of such storm has been predicted to occur near the end of the century. These storms are a phenomenon that truly captures public attention. Their charm is enhanced by the fact that comets, meteors, and stars are bright and look pretty, but have caused fires, major damage to buildings and houses.

In 36 A.D., we find the first reference to the Perseid meteor shower, more than 100 meteors were seen darting about in the morning hours. The first mention of the Eta Aquarid meteors dates to the year 466, countless meteors, great and small, appeared toward the West. In records from the year 585, a reference to the Orionids is found: hundreds of meteors scattered in every direction; in the year 687, the Lyrids report: starts feel like rain from the sky; and in 1002, the Leonids report a lot of little stars fell. In the Arab chronicles, in mid-October of the year 902, an infinite number of stars was seen during the night, scattering like rain right and left, and that came to be known as the year of the stars. The stars flew like a swarm of grasshoppers.

And on 12 November 1799, a planter in South Carolina awoke to the desperate cries of slaves on his and two nearby plantations. He heard a voice calling him to come out and yelling, “Oh my God, the World is in flames!” Dashing outside, he did not know whether to be more amazed by the celestial performances or by the crowd facedown on the ground imploring God to save them and the World. Another eye witness, Strickland, reported that two fireballs were half as bright as the moon, and that several hundred of these gorgeous stars were visible at once…leaving a long steak of flame in their tracks. In 1861, American astronomer Daniel Kirkwood suggested the currently accepted explanation for the origin of meteor showers—residue of particles of material (now known as meteoroid streams) from old comets, distributed along their orbits. Our souls are not our own. We covey a property in them to those with whom we associate; but to what extent can never been known, until we feel the tug, the agony, or our abortive effort to resume an exclusive sway over ourselves.

Seduction opens the door to a dismal train of innumerable miseries; evil is very seductive. Jealousy and games prevent honest, intimate communication and relationships, in society. Yet, the individuals who play games and are full of hatred play games with other people lives because these game fill up time, provoke attention, reinforce early opinions, about self and others, and fulfill hooligans with a sense of destiny. Many African Americans report feeling intensely scrutinized. However, critics report that these African Americans are just paranoid, and they may be right. Some European American sociologists have used the term paranoia to describe this protective anger, shyness, and caution among African Americans, when they are encountering the European American majority. Paranoia means an abnormal suspiciousness or fear of being hurt. Nonetheless, African American psychiatrists have provided evidence that this protective behavior is not all that abnormal for most African Americans, it represents a necessary defense against the real hostility and threat that is very often experiences in interacting with European Americans.

First of all, I strongly dislike addressing issues of cultural discrimination, although it is prevalent, only in certain segments of the population. I am young and I have many young friends, of all ethnic backgrounds, and they are accepting of everyone. When I write about discrimination, it confuses them and leaves them feeling alienated or like I am upset with them and they do not want to talk to be because they get offended. However, many African Americans face discrimination, which others do not, and it is horrible because employers just sit back and pretend not to know that they have racist employees, in their corporation and just let them run wild and harass African Americans or kill them, at will, and see nothing wrong with it. Recently, Trayvon Martin, Oscar Grant, and Mike Brown are all young black men, unarmed, and killed by officers or someone acting as a vigilante. It seems that no matter what African Americans are doing, someone wants to target them. It does not matter if you are just buying skittles or kissing your European American husband.

The history of race relations, in the United States, is coming under major heat. On 12 September 2014, an Oscar winning African American Actress was arrested, by a rogue officer, for kissing her European American husband, Brain James Lucas, in public. American actress Daniele Watts, who played a role in the film, Django Unchained, explains she is frustrated and angry that the police mistook her for a prostitute, after she kissed her husband under a tree. Daniele Watts was fully dressed, and sober, but refused to admit she did anything wrong by kissing her husband, so two police officers, from Studio City, hand cuffed her. The hand cuffs were so tight that the actress cried and has a cut on her wrist.

The police department claims that she “Fit the description of a suspect.” However, the same thing happened to another prominent African American August when film producer, Charles Belk, also African American, was arrested and held for six hours because he was allegedly for an accomplice to a bank robbery, while in the area, for a pre-Emmys party.

Clearly it is hunting season, on African Americans, in America, and this makes any people uncomfortable to go outside because if an officer does not like you or what you are doing, they can claim that you fit the description of a suspect and detain you. Being arrested is serious, not only is it embarrassing, but it is a health and safety risk for many, and something has got to be done about the racism toward African Americans, in America. These racist people need mental evaluations and have to become accountable for their actions. The only way this is going to stop if you all start suing these organizations for breaking your Human Rights and Civil Rights. Even if you lose, it is best to take a stand because it cost corporations a lot of money to defend themselves. Nonetheless, Los Angeles California seems to be a hot house for racism. NBC Universal is a great example of a corporation, in Los Angeles, who allowed their photojournalist, Kenny Holmes, to get away with stalking, scamming him out of hundreds of dollars and harassing an ex fan, for years on end, and then threaten that fan, after he brought the issue to the attention of the Better Business Bureau. The ex-fan of the photojournalist also was African American.

The photojournalist was showing up in his apartment building, without having been given the address, harassing the fan on a social media site called thought.com under the name of wirelessguru1, and the photojournalist, Kenny Holmes, would even be waiting, on the concern for the young African American man to pull up to his home, and had been seen following him around. The African American man lives in Northern California and the photojournalist lives and works in Southern California, so Kenny Holmes was traveling far to stalk this fan and to this day has not been punished, but has been reported to law enforcement and his employers. As a result of the way the African American man was treated by Kenny Holmes and his employers, he lost his faith in God. The situation is really deep and got pretty dangerous, but justice has not been served. We have to stand up for the rights of African Americans because when they stand up for themselves, aggressor threaten to have them arrested by the racist police, and you know how it goes, if you are African American, and accused of a crime, the police are likely to believe you are a criminal just because of your skin color. As the sore palate findeth grit, so an uneasy consciousness heareth innuendoes.
