<p><strong>TheCommonPurposeProject.</strong></p>
<p>This particular project has been running thru the back of my head for quite some time now.  <strong>It is a different approach to research</strong>.</p>
<p><strong>Imagine</strong> if we could invent for the sake of inventing and for the straight forward progress of our civilization.</p>
<p><strong>Imagine</strong> betraying our self gain habits and doing without the capitalistic gain system that has been enforced for years by our love able government.</p>
<p><strong>Imagine</strong> reasearch being completed by the people for the people.</p>
<p><strong>Imagine</strong> a world were democracy was called democracy!  Not some abstract concept of power and control.</p>
<p><strong>Imagine</strong> a world were the brightest of the brightest could shine and not be shaded down by corporate capitalistic gains. It is time we put the power of knowledge to good use, and preferable our own good use. <strong>TheCommonPurposeProject</strong> will unite visionaries from around the world that can finally find the tools and resources to make their dreams a reality. How many times have we had a good idea but could not make a reality due to insufficient funds or lack of resources. <strong>TheCommonPurposeProject</strong> will not grant you money but it will connect people who have the same dreams and aspirations and will provide you with a platform to recruit people with certain  skills or abilities that each and every one of us is lacking. Therefore creating an environment of extreme cooperation.</p>
<p>For the longest  the economy has targeted us thru advertising, thru social constructs, thru surveys, thru giant computer systems that gather intel and  accurately envision what we might purchase.</p>
<p><strong>The CommonPurposeProject</strong> will bring that power back to the people. They “Meaning our industry” no longer would have to guess on the next new ”product” we will tell them what we want and we will also tell them how we want it and for what price  it should sell.    Our economy is in a dire situation  do we really want a repeat of what just  happened.  Or do we want an economy that is strong self-reliant, fair and above all fits our needs and our expectations. <strong><em>We must be reasonable we are not asking  to create a 100$ flying car that does not  require gas or any external source of energy. </em></strong></p>
<p>But what <strong>TheCommonPurposeProject</strong> will do is give us “the People” a seat in the discussion table for future coming events. We do not only deserve it but it is rightfully ours since eighty percent of the economy depends on our spending habits.</p>
<p>It is time to consider how we want the economy to be reconstructed. The time for change is now and the time for action has been upon us for the longest.</p>
<p><strong>FEEDBACK WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATED</strong></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I cant help but wonder the question of God.<br />
does he exist? Or is he a great fairy tail that survived through the centuries.<br />
Even thou The sheer amount of history, knowledge, lessons, and remarkable wisdom that is expressed in the Bible, when studied closely and taken the syntax literally there are many questions that arise from it&#8217;s studies.<br />
The amount of bloodshed and the numerous wars raised in the name of God.<br />
The countless amount of people who died in the name of God.<br />
The countless modifications of the syntax to fit religions all around the world.<br />
All Above are of great concern to me.<br />
I a mere human If elected God for just one day, I would go back in time and on the first page of the first Bible I would print: <strong>For educational</strong> <strong>purposes only!<br />
</strong>Mostly all Religious people I debate with ( just for the sake of debating i know i can&#8217;t change there mind set.) are quick to characterize me as an atheist. The reason they do that is because it is easier to fight another religion then no religion. Bare with me for a moment let us dive into the mindset of a religious man.<br />
A religious man explains creation, life, death with God.<br />
Everything begins and ends with God and God has the ability to intervene in all matters of life as long as it does not interfere with his sovereign plan.<br />
There for there mind is set on his benevolent grace and are eternally happy for every day allowed above ground; Besides the great advances in science and medicine that have allowed them to live an extra thirty years compared to there predecessors.<br />
Back to the religion no religion.<br />
I am an atheist to them because they must be able to label me.<br />
You see you can fight a label, and also, once created a label you can determine a value and once a value is determined you can find a competitor.<br />
Religion is basically a giant business. You don&#8217;t have to look to far to realize that. Just look at it,s inner structure each person reports to higher and higher in power person until we climb the giant corporate ladder that leads us to the grand master the one supposedly closest to God, the <strong>favorite</strong> as i like to call him, as if God really needs a middleman.<br />
Many of my educated friends are quick to disprove the existence of god.<br />
On the other hand many of my not so fortunately educated friends who&#8217;s lives are stricken by the everyday harsh reality of life and it&#8217;s terrible ups and downs cannot wrap there uneducated heads around the idea of no God and are very quick to get angry when confronted with even the slightest possibility of his non existence.<br />
It would seem to me just as an observer, that the educated and more open minded group even thou &#8220;blessed&#8221; If i am allowed to say, would have more reasons to believe in God then the more unfortunate group. But quite the opposite seems to be happening.<br />
It seems as if the more one has; or the more one accomplishes the greater he distances himself from God.<br />
On the other hand the group of people who&#8217;s lives are entirely dependent and adjusted around the lives of the open minded, cannot but wake up in the morning and praise god and give thanks for the extra day of life.<br />
I am baffled.<br />
If there was a God, It would seem to me that the second group of people is more deserving of the better things life has to offer.</p>
