Hi like many I checked ATS every day and read the post for many year and just signed up about a month ago, so hello all.
The Mayans were right, The Mayans said that at the end of the calendar there would be great change and it was all about change as we enter a new era.

Americans enslaved Africans, they worked in the field all day and then came to their hut at night, the woman cooked the meal and the man sat on the porch smoking his pipe he did not own his property and found a few ways to save money even if only $60 over 20 years, times were brutal and if the slave did not obey the rules set by the master then he was beaten.
a man and woman work all day when they get home the wife makes the meal in the Uk the man cant afford to smoke and he does not own his house, times are brutal if you protest against our masters rules then you are beaten ( look at the number of youtube videos, but the difference is in the old slave days you had one master now we have many and you will be tazed of pepper sprayed for not following an order from your master in uniform kind of like an overseer.

You paint a pretty quaint picture of slavery in America.
Well let me put it this way; Slaves were the property of their master and were well fed and yes it was brutal but Irish slave were treated worse than black slave when sent to the West Indies, Quaint no but these slaves are all dead now and I have great pity for their sorrow and suffering but Im more concerned now with my slavery and the slavery of my grand children.
You left out the legal lynching, rapes, separation of families, disfigurements, no access to proper education, no rights to vote, categorized by law as less than a human, and other various abuses.
Are you sure you are living the exact same lifestyle as an African slave in the 1700's?
I sincerely doubt it.
We have way more freedoms.
I do however agree with your point that we as a whole are nothing more than slaves to a system that keep a select few powerful and the rest of us poor, indebted, and very ignorant.

Your long post stops having any relevance to your topic or the Mayans at this point, and then it goes to rambling about the governments and such.
People couldn't have made it much easier for the megalomaniac oligarchs
You are right in your main point, of course - and the lack of proper formatting of your text doesn't bother me as much as the 'american typos' that people usually flood into ATS (even letting them find their way into topics). I'd like to correct each and every one of them.
But if you are going to talk about the Mayans, TALK ABOUT THE MAYANS.
As it stands now, you are EXPLOITING the Mayans to promote your own agenda and perceptions about something completely irrelevant to Mayans (except the small reference to 'things changing').
Don't exploit the Mayans to drive your agenda - however good it may be.

Why do you think it is God who should stop this madness? We have caused it, and we should put an end to it.
If you are a father you know pretty well that you will love your creation no matter what, you will not judge it and can only love it unconditionally. It is quite the same thing, God's love is unconditional, he will love us even if we decide to kill each other in the end.
