What is the purpose of life?

An eternal question, what is the purpose of life?, occupied philosophers’ thoughts throughout history. Stone pictographs reveal even primitive peoples reflected on this query. Each one has the capacity to define his or her personal thinking about politics, economics and religion.

Comment by Joan Denoo on October 30, 2012 at 1:18pm: The Costs of Capitalism's Crisis: Who Will Pay?

"Austerity?" "Fiscally conservative?" both imply the people who will pay are those who produced the goods and services, not the banks and corporations that created the crisis. Sound familiar? Does it sound fair? How much more austere can you be?

The outrage heard around the world:

Comment by michele ricketts on October 29, 2012 at 12:01am: I think Obama cannot punish or regulate the banks because they have bought the government. His hands are tied. It is too big of a can of worms to open let alone having to fight Republicans or politians with a buisness interest every inch of the way. It is the public who has to pissed off enough to empower the president to take command of banks@corporations. They are too greedy to stop or curtail. I think they will kill the golden goose or take us over. It will be one or the other. I wonder if it was big money that backed Obama on the understanding he never would. Yet it's the only way to get into office. That it is now the norm for any president is worrisome We need a law to stop candidates needing ALOT of money to stand for office in the first place.

Comment by michele ricketts on October 28, 2012 at 8:52pm: Yes- that " a disturbing thought" regarding just the 1% difference in genes makes ALL the difference.So aliens don't need to have a vastly different Dna fromnus to be super-duper.
I have another disturbing thought and it sounds atheist in nature ( if other life forms are our new " gods".) And that is there is indeed life sprinkled like mushroom spores all over the universe but no matter how smart it becomes no life-form WILL EVER EVER able to travel across the massive distances involved.
( so maybe we will only get signals sent thousands of thousands of years ago just as much of the starlight we see has been travelling for 100s of thousands of years + and is no more than a dead star now...

Comment by Joan Denoo on October 28, 2012 at 1:01pm: Florence Jenkins massacres Mozart

I can't figure out if laughing or crying is the best remedy for Jenkins and politics.

Thanks Chris Breman, I'm sharing.

Comment by Joan Denoo on October 27, 2012 at 10:04pm: Stiglitz: "Shocking" how Obama, Romney are avoiding housing crisis ...

Because of these and other financial reasons, I did not vote for Obama. He does not want to offend banks, and lets homeowners and their families suffer. Foreclosures that should not have happened results in gross offenses and no one has been prosecuted.
