If "We The People" can take any lessons learned, away from this past week, it should be the fact that there are more people out there, whom wish to do evil!
We can't turn a blind eye on the mentally ill, We can't pretend that they simply will go away. Every description I have listened to about these two men, was that they seemed "Normal", but yet they were still capable of such evil! We all have to develop coping skills to function in todays world. This is why men like this can hide in plain sight,,, don't be fooled into thinking this is a cultural thing, political, religious or ideological,, These men were and are "Mentally Ill"
We all need to look at our family and friends,, as hard as it may be,, and Identify if they need help and do what we can to make sure get the kind of treatment they need.
The first step to fixing a problem, is admitting there is one!

Me
On the origins of everyone and everything by Kevin Moore.
This story is merely my
perspective, from the viewpoint in which I was raised and expresses
only one man's possibility of the origins of humans. If you are a
person whom is offended by the thought of the universe without a
creator. Stop reading now, and delete this document.
There really is no
beginning to this story, because time itself is a component of our
universe. Time is a dimension just as we perceive height, depth and
width as dimensions of space. But there is no doubt in my mind that
there was something before the Big Bang, because after all, something
had to bang to begin with. The theory that makes the most sense to me
is that we live within a multi-verse, that is, there is more than one
universe, and the mathematics that is far beyond my comprehension is
telling the scientists, that these universes including our own, are
what we would perceive as two dimensional membranes. Picture if you
will, a bedsheet, that is infinitely thin, but at the same time,
infinitely high and infinitely wide. And as with bedsheets these
membranes are not perfectly flat. They have ripples and waves, like
the surface of a pond or lake. And at some point during this
alternate time line, two membranes were very close to one another and
their waves converged upon each other, and then they bumped. They
exchanged an unimaginable amount of energy and a third membrane was
born, Our Universe!
This brings me to the beginning of "Our Time". 13.5 Billion years ago, our universe expanded from a spot, a speck, smaller than an atom, The Big Bang. And to imagine how small this is, picture in your imagination, one single speck of dust. That dust speck contains billions of atoms. In what we would perceive as an instant, the universe expanded from this space that was smaller than a speck, to the size of the Milky Way galaxy. An unimaginably hot, dense and bright ball of pure energy. It is at this point that all of the dimensions that we can measure came into existence, Time and Space was born. And during this instant of time there was a war between matter and antimatter. And fortunately for us, there was just a little bit more matter than I was antimatter. Then over the course of millions of years of expansion and cooling the first protons and electrons formed atoms. Atoms of hydrogen, and these vast clouds of hydrogen, the size of galaxies began to gravitate towards one another, these are called Nebula. If we could been there at the time to witness these modest beginnings. We would have perceive the universe as being a dark place, with only the faint glow caused by hydrogen atoms bumping into one another at incredible speeds. More millions of years pass. The clouds of hydrogen become more and more dense and because the hydrogen atoms are moving and bumping into one another. It creates an effect known as Angular Momentum. This angular momentum causes, the clouds to begin to rotate and as density increases so does gravity. This gravity pulls in more and more gas forming planets similar to our Saturn and Jupiter. But unlike Saturn and Jupiter these planets are made of pure hydrogen. Deep under the clouds of these gas giants, the pressure from gravity is so strong It forms a core of liquid metallic hydrogen and deeper still the atoms are squeezed so tightly together they began to radiate lots of heat. And as the gravity of the planet attracts more and more gas the temperature at its core steadily rises. At or about 13 times bigger than our planet Jupiter, the gas giant is producing so much heat and radiation that is now classified as a Brown dwarf star. Finally when the gas giant consumes enough hydrogen, to be roughly 3/4 the size of our sun, the core temperature reaches 7199540 degrees Fahrenheit the hydrogen atom's nuclei begin to fuse to gather at a rate equivalent to the amount of gas is coming out of the tailpipes of 1,200,000 cars, every second. This release an enormous amount of energy. The equivalent energy to six billion Hiroshima bombs per second. But the gravity of this giant is so massive that the explosion is contained and a Star is born.

Let me introduce you to
our first Ancestor, called Population 3 Stars, they were the first
main-sequence stars. Because the universe was so
dense with clouds of hydrogen, it was like an all-you-can-eat buffet
for these stars, they would even eat eachother. As a result, when a
star grows to be approximately 120 times the size of our sun it's
gravity can no longer contain this energy and stars begin to blow off
their outer layers. When supermassive stars run out of hydrogen to
fuse. Then they begin to fuse the helium into heavier elements and
these fuse into even heavier elements until finally, its core becomes
iron, and within seconds from the moment, a star begins producing
iron they become supernova and explode. They only lived for a few
million years. You could say that these first stars lived the life in
the fast lane. These supernova explosions created shock waves in the
gas clouds/nebula that they were born in. And these shock waves
sparked new star creation and in these 2nd generation stars they had
something new to work with. The heavy elements created in the
explosions first stars. This made it possible for the first solar
systems with rocky planets like the Earth to be formed. It is thought
by many scientists our solar system is 3rd generation.
Now let's fast-forward to 5 billion years ago. The early universe only had hydrogen to work with. Imagine trying to create a recipe with only one ingredient. Now that the stars have created all these other heavy elements things really get interesting. To me, Cooking and Chemistry, are one in the same thing and by the 3rd generation of stars, the universe has all the ingredients it needs to cook up everything that you and I have ever known. By combining the elements created in the death throes of exploding stars, in different proportions and different combinations, by varying heat and pressure compounds like water, salts, minerals and metals, organic compounds and long chain molecules begin to form in asteroids, comets, and proto-planets.
Meet our third-generation ancestors. Not alive but not quite dead, either. Vast amounts of compounds, Organic and Inorganic, in the vacuum of space floating around waiting for the right conditions. Our solar system began to take shape approximately 5 billion years ago by means of the same physics and mechanics I described earlier in the formation of the first stars. Our Sun reached critical mass and brought light and heat to the solar system. Out of the billions of objects in orbit around the sun a proto-planet about 93 million miles out from the sun began to take shape. Let me call this planet as Earth 1.0. This area of space out at 93 million miles from our type of star, is known as the Goldilocks zone, because it is not too hot, and it is not too cold. It is the perfect location for water to form on a planet without being frozen and without boiling off. But nevertheless Earth 1.0 was dry as a bone. Having been constantly being bombarded by asteroids and comments for millions of years Its entire surface was a massive ocean of molten lava, a real-life vision of what people imagine Hell to be like. And then one fine day on Earth 1.0 a proto-planet size of Mars entered the atmosphere of Earth 1.0 and the collision was enormous. Much of the two planets was vaporized in an instant and any solid material at that time was instantly liquefied. But this was not a head-on collision. Earth 1.0 was destroyed but because the collision was more of a side swipe it reformed over the course of a few months, and our Earth, Earth 2.0 was born.

Earth 1.0 was destroyed but because the collision was more of a side swipe it reformed over the course of a few months, and our Earth, Earth 2.0 was born.
Most of the heavy
elements had separated like salad oil, in the collision and sank to
the Earth's core and the lighter elements formed the crust on its
surface. About 10% of the Earth's light material on the surface was
sent into orbit and formed a ring around the planet, which eventually
coalesced into our Moon. The Moon at this time was much closer to the
Earth and if you were standing on this new Earth looking up at the
moon. It would appear 100 times bigger than it does today. The
formation of the Moon had two major effects on this new Earth. It
slowed the planet's rotation on its axis from 12 hours to the 24
hours that we have today. The Moon also stabilized the axis of the
Earth. Without the Moon the Earth would wobble like a top. Its north
or south pole would face the sun for many thousands of years before
flipping back again. This would cause the planet to be in frozen
darkness on one side. The Earth's core was now iron and its mantle
was molten rock. And because the core and the mantle rotate at
different speeds, this generates electricity, and our magnetic field.
The field protects us from harmful radiation of our own Sun's solar
wind.
Thousands more years pass. The surface of the Earth and Moon have now cooled and solidified. The gravitational effects of the Sun and all the planets have cleaned up most of the dust, rocks and gases floating around the inner solar system. But something unusual was happening, out beyond Jupiter. Mathematics suggests that Uranus and Neptune formed inside the orbits of Jupiter and Saturn. But massive gravity tugs of Jupiter, lining up with Saturn, knocked Uranus and Neptune further out into the solar system. It is thought they actually switched places making Neptune the furthest out from the sun. It is also thought that they would've been flung completely out of the solar system had they not encountered a large ring of debris known as the Oort cloud. Pluto and it's moons are Oort cloud objects. Entering this ring of leftovers from the formation of the solar system had the effect of slowing the two planets down, and they settled into their current orbits. This also had the effect caused by gravitational fields of these two planets within the Oort cloud of disrupting the orbits of the Oort cloud objects and flung many of these objects into the inner solar system as comets and ice covered asteroids. This marks the period known to scientists as the second heavy bombardment, the scars of which can be plainly seen on the face of the moon today. These asteroids and comets brought to the Earth all of the water that exists on the surface and all of the ingredients for the organic compounds that constitute every living thing on the earth. The stage was set for life. The Earth was in the Goldilocks zone. The Moon was there to stabilize its axis. The core was generating a magnetic field to protect us from cosmic rays and all of the ingredients for life were Fedex delivered to us courtesy of Neptune and Uranus.
Fast-forward 3.5 Billion years ago. It is at this point that the history of our origins is a bit fuzzy. Because of weather, corrosion and continental drift, very little exists in the geological record of this time. When, where and how the first organisms came to be is still a mystery. But the evidence is very clear, by 2.5 billion years ago that your next ancestor in the chain is an organism known as blue-green algae, that was king and ruler of the planet and stayed the king for over 1.5 billion years. Building structures known as Stromatolites that grew in the same way that modern coral grows. That is, each generation builds its colony over the skeletons of the previous colony. These blue-green algae's were thought to be flourishing in shallow warm waters using sunlight and minerals as food, Photosynthesis. The atmosphere of the Earth at that time, would have been filled with toxic gases and would have been bombarded with ultraviolet rays. No life on land could have lived. Alas, you can thank your ancestors the blue-green algae for creating most of the oxygen-rich atmosphere you are breathing today and for the ozone layer in the atmosphere that protects us from ultraviolet rays. Living examples of these Stromatolites can still be found on the shores of Australia.
Fast forward to 125,000 to 60,000 years ago after the advances and retreats of many glacial periods on Earth the Sahara desert on the continent of Africa turned green with grasslands. Many creatures that were once isolated by the vast desert could now migrate north. One of these creatures was a bipedal, primate with a 3lb brain. This creatures is known as Homo sapiens, Modern Humans. Identical to you and I in mental faculties and biology. It has been suggested that there were as few as 10,000 individuals on the entire planet at this time. They had relatives such as the Neanderthal, but modern humans were close to extinction. Then some of our ancestors followed the game animals northward, up an out of Africa. Ultimately humans proved to be so resourceful, intelligent and capable of adapting to many different environmental climates, that by 12,000 years ago, they inhabited every continent on the planet and numbered in the many millions.
And so it is, in a nutshell, in my opinion, we humans in every sense are the descendents of Pure Energy, uprecycled, cooked up and combined in the universal kitchen. We have come a long way from starting this journey as pure energy. It seems to me that we are the result of 13.5 billion years of evolution and the universe thru us is now self-aware. It makes me wonder how many other recipes of life there are out there among the stars. I would love to meet our cousins!

2212ad
We need jobs now!. We're not going to be around in two hundred years to see it.
So let's build cars that get more miles on a tank of gas,
let's strip mine for tar sand in Candida,
let's build more cleaner-ish coal power plants,
let's pump diesel fuel into our aquifers to hydro-fracture out natural gas,
And by all means, let's blow the tops off every mountain to get to that last bit of coal.
Al Gore is a wacko and Energytomorrow.org knows whats best for us, you have seen their ads on TV youtu.be/32VgYHuj_mk and why would they lie to us?
So burn baby burn and drill baby drill! It's good for our economy.
This is the message I've been hearing lately. Where do you stand?
