rom hooters to norks, shibari and glistening iridescent pools of shimmering spunk

I was listening to the Hooters 'Satellite' http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1lwYK8EHd_M just before logging on today. Now this got me wishing I could believe in God. The principles, the very basic essence of Christianity is so appealing! Then again all current world religions (that I am aware of)seem to have basically the same cornerstones; don't kill each other, help one another out, share resources (see previous),don't get jealous of anything others have - hot partner, wealth etc. -(because that can lead to breaking cornerstone one), look after your kids because they are the future of the society in which you live, look after your parents and elders because they've been there done that and can help you out, and don't do the sort of things that can spread diseases and malformed descendants (i.e. shag around -and particularly not with immediate family members). Which is a kind of socialism in action as far as I'm concerned. If we all lived more or less by these principles, individually and collectivelly, and most crucially on the grander scale - our governments and religious leaders were properly held to account by these principles. Then whether you attribute it to spirituality or not - we would achieve our fundamental right to have government 'by the people, of the people and for the people' as opposed to our current system which merely seeks to give a thin veneer of legitimacy to those who feel they were born to be a ruling class. Unless this hopeless power crazed greedy hyocritical layer can be swept away and replaced by a system that serves the people we will never achieve the world which would be the better place envisaged by the best ethics espoused by our philosophies and religions.
