When asked about paying taxes to Caesar, Jesus said, “Give to Caesar that which is Caesar’s and give to God that which is God’s.”
Jesus was not saying that people can keep Church and State separate in laws. Jesus was saying to give to Caesar those things that he can demand as their head of State. But God’s laws are not ever to be ignored, and Caesar had no authority above God over these things. If Caesar told people to break God’s laws, is that then justification for them to do so?
How can someone claim to a Christian if the person ignores God’s laws when politics is involved? Can you vote for the approval of anti-Christ ways and be a follower of Christ?
Once again people are taking a sentence out of the Bible and twisting it to pretend justification for their ignoring of God’s rules and laws. People also use the statement, “it’s just business”, as if that allows them to do as they please and ignore God’s rules and laws while conducting their business.
You either follow God or you are against God in everything you do. Nothing in life can be separated out from God.

China's Threats
A lot of countries are getting dangerously deep into debt with China, and ignoring China's growing monetary and military power.
Our governments are allowing the Chinese government to set their own exchange rate, which they keep beneficial towards keeping their own exports low in cost, which is resulting in other countries people purchasing more goods from China then the countries export to China. This trade imbalance will put us dangerously in debt to China.
China is stealing technical data from countries, and allowing people in China to ignore patents and copyrights. A lot of goods coming from China have dangers associated with them that we have worked for years to eliminate from the products made and sold in our own countries. There are a lot of potential concerns with all the food, electronics, and technical equipment we buy that comes from China.
They continue to build up their armed forces, and have even recently demonstrated their ability to shoot down satellites. The United States relies heavily on large amounts of data sharing for their troops in battle, which of course is transmitted and received via satellites.
China has an extremely large armed forces, and their buddy North Korea has a million man force as well. China is growing quickly and will require more fuels and materials to keep up with their demand. Some may be militarily captured or, using their monetary imbalance, china will buy up as many companies as they can to get the oils, metals, and other materials they'll need to satisfy their great hunger. The world governments are letting China gain too much power to threaten the world.
We are exporting our good jobs to China, and importing more manufactured and processed goods than we're exporting. China is a communist state, and will happily use our money and our foolishness to advance communism and their control of the world. It's all part of the doctrine of communism.

Bio Fuels
Bio fuels are now being strongly promoted to be used incorrectly.
The use of food to fuel our power requirements is evil. Too many people in the world cannot get enough to eat now, or are not able to eat healthily, and people want to use food for power. The lesser availability and rising costs of many foods will be the outcome.
The bio in bio fuels should be from the stocks/husks, not the fruit of the plants. Methane burning can assist in our power requirements, reduce the hot-house damage caused by the release of methane into our air, and help the farmer.
Adding wind, solar and methane generators on the family farms can help the farmer cut costs and reduce the environmental waste and destruction that is needed to get refined fossil fuels. Additionally they could use their excess to split water to capture the oxygen and hydrogen that can be used or sold, or fed back onto the electrical grid.
Installing a single wind turbine in an area would not be as noisy, or as dangerous to flying creatures, as opposed to a wind turbine farm. Wind turbine, and large solar, farms should be as limited as we can get away with and those sites very carefully chosen.

Open Letter to Politicians
JosephThePoet (Life is a Puzzle)
Open Letter to all our North American politicians
I have no personal political desires. I just want our “leaders” to lead responsibility. If you think any of the following makes sense, then please help to promote it.
Subjects Involved: Security
Tax Revenue
Health and Environment
Energy Production
Natural Resources
Education
Employment
Small Village Needs
The people are the country, not the landmass. They are also the greatest assets any government has.
Never mind where good ideas originated, or who or which group with the currently recognized credentials first presented them in their entirety to the right government department during the qualifying time period. When the logic is sound promote the concept to make it happen, and keep at it to ensure it happens.
Everyone sitting in the legislature is a government elected person and should show respect for the people they represent, above and beyond any petty party bickering. If a concept is valid if you controlled the government, then it is valid and should be promoted regardless of your position in the government. Our government is not just the leading party, and you are all responsible to us people first. Please do your job with a semblance of respect for the people who trusted you to your job.
Governing is not allowing the private sector to decide the future. The private sector is supposed to operate under a government directed framework, not be the cause of the direction that the country takes. You encourage or discourage what business practices you choose by making laws, to promote or deter those things that need to be encouraged or controlled, to bring about a better future for us all. That is your job.
You can insist companies operate responsibly and not have to worry about a loss of jobs, if you’ll just pay attention to current technologies as you guide the private sector along certain paths. Good ideas should be promoted and the bad ones reigned in. You have the power and responsibility to do so. It’s called governing.
There are a number of concerns, both globally and locally, that are in immediate need of addressing. Energy, employment, and the environment are some biggies. Our future life is at stake all over the planet.
The government cannot rely solely on the private sector for all new job creation, or to maintain the current employment level. Your job is also to encourage economic and job growth by promoting private sector activity that is of benefit to the country. If given free reign businesses abuse people and destroy properties, or do other nasty things. A lot more jobs in North America are currently under threat as big business continues to move jobs out of our country.
China and India are taking our jobs, fuels and resources. We have also exported our poisonous ways, as the severe pollution in China’s cities now shows. By promoting clean energies and practices here, we can export a superior way of life and create many new jobs for everyone.
Power requirements throughout the world will continue to increase. This is not a bad thing.
We are vulnerable to environmental and economic threats because we rely so heavily on oil. This is a bad thing.
When most of you think of wind turbines, you probably think of large clumped together windmills in “farms”. Many small farms could also be helped to have a single unit on their property, which would be less of a threat to migrating flyers then putting large wind farms in the wrong places. Office tower and apartment building sized units that don’t require a heavy crane to install would be more readily accepted by businesses and local governments. Now consider smaller building sized units that people could buy to help power their home or business, with solar panels included in the package of course. These generators could be connected to the grid to help meet our grid needs as well, and they offer some security against large blackouts.
Easily transported and installed wind and solar power generators are good products for the world. Mass production of these generators will reduce costs, improve efficiencies, and create jobs from ore extraction and smelting to assembly, installation and servicing.
Many poor or isolated communities around the world could benefit from clean local power. Clean water is easier to get, keep and use if you have a power source. Powered irrigation from wells makes it easier to grow food. Lighting, refrigeration and the many tool use abilities would give them to a chance for a better future. These villages can’t afford the huge wind generators, and most times the equipment to help in the installation of such large heavy structures is not available.
Are you starting to see a good concept to promote?
The first job of elected representatives is the protection of the people, and people are the governments greatest asset. All governments should be eliminating poisonous and destructive methods of doing things to protect the people. That includes directing how things are being done in the private sector (governing?). You cannot continue to cater to the current greedy and destructive big business practices in the hopes that they’ll always supply your government with income and employ your citizens. Especially as they have demonstrated their will to destroy and poison us and our environment, and run off with our jobs to other countries in their chasing a quick buck.
Many more people are employed by small employers. Being able to buy smaller power sources, that last for years, will allow many more people to create and to start local businesses. Businesses and families would not have to worry about rising fuel costs or disappearing fuel sources caused by market instabilities if they had their own power generators.
Drilling out oil to burn is environmentally stupid, and turning food crops into fuel to burn is just as stupid. Speeding the turning of the stocks, grasses and other organics into methane to be burned away instead of being released into the air makes more sense. Methane is a vicious greenhouse gas that is naturally released by organic decomposition anyway. Cities, farmers, and some businesses could use methane fueled generators to help meet their power needs.
Oil is also a commodity for products, other then just wastefully burning it up. There are plenty of natural gas sources for us to tap, instead of wasting oil. Is mankind going to die off in just a few decades, or will thousands of generations follow us. Shall we deny our future generations this valuable commodity when we don’t need to? How selfish, arrogant, disrespectful and wasteful will we prove ourselves to be?
There is a lot of talk about nuclear power plants being built and coal plants being closed instead of redesigned to take advantage of current clean burning technologies, and of turning food crops into “bio” fuels. What are you politicians thinking? Create a poison that will remain a threat to tens of thousands of generations of people, ignore a valuable power resource, and take the food out of the mouths of people to boot?
We are informed our politicians will throw billions of dollars into promoting those evil pursuits, under the false guise of being environmentally responsible and needing to meet our future power needs. Maybe we should have an intelligence requirement for anyone seeking to become a politician. We don’t allow doctors, or people in other trades, to practice without first having some semblance of knowledge of the subject matter.
Promoting the above mentioned power sources will help bring about hydrogen fueled vehicles quicker as well. This will promote cleaner air and better health in our smoggy cities.
We as a race, currently, seem to be as dumb as sticks. What other species chooses to destroy the environment it needs to survive? But that is what you our elected representatives are allowing big business greed to do. We voted for you politicians and have stocks in those greedy companies. And why are the people of large assembly companies, like the auto industry, not creating these other quality products to add to the company income and maintain local employment levels? So we are the superior intelligent animal eh?
We have a chance to lead the world in responsible living.
Sincerely,
Joseph
