Data Base
 
  Data base could not compute
by means of logical conclusion
any kind of real truth worth knowing

Thereby targeting the innocent
by erroneous information
resulting in unnecessary destruction

Too much chatter not enough being said
whatever is said is of little significance:
Yet this erroneous information has lead to the deaths
of the countless innocent.

National security databases
make broadly based decisions
affecting unsuspecting innocent people.

Information gleaned electronically “intercepted chatter”
Is usually inconsequential and unworthy of merit.
Yet decisions made, based on erroneous information
gleaned electronically have resulted in unnecessary destruction
even the deaths of the innocent at home and abroad.
Margaret Alice (7/7/2008 4:58:00 AM)
But we are not restricted to the data base, we can dig further and deeper for the true knowledge of beauty and harmony and new horizons, and we can transcend whatever reality offers us. We are as free as we allow our imagination to be; never accept limits as problems - only as challenges to be overcome; you cannot choose for others, only choose for yourself and lead by your example!
Kind regards, Margaret.
