Wildflowers live

The board game in an almost square box was about wildflowers. Filly liked the cover of the box and liked how the game was about making flowers and attracting bees. She put it in the cart as a gift to give to Mister and Tater.

She thought about flowers and then plants. She daydreamed while she waited in line at Walmart. There was only one person ahead of her but it was plenty of time for a daydream. In her daydream, the world was full of plants but there was a mean wicked person who felt like plants were going to take over the earth and ruin it. It was an interesting story-line. The plants were being burned in huge patches, in different parts of the world, by this person, the Fire starter. Some people even voluntarily stopped growing plants in support of this mythical propaganda, that plants were bad.

Somehow over years of such propaganda, people had forgotten that plants were not bad but good, and produced oxygen, herbs, medicines, food, shelter and many other things. When plants grew, it was evidence of life, and life thrived when plants thrived.

Filly was up in line. She put the flower game on the rolling checkout surface and put the sheets, the bug spray and the hose and spray nozzle on as well. She thought to herself, that she did not like every insect but that did not mean she wanted to incinerate them the way the Fire starter wanted to incinerate plants in her story. There were unintended consequences to every action. And plants living and growing produced good. Can a person or place have too much of good? Filly thought not.

Just like her fiction story about plants, there were actual people who wrongly thought that human beings needed to be reduced and eliminated. Or maybe it was not people giving this directive but rather a computer that was implementing this “push” to reduce the “carbon footprint”. She did not know for sure but she knew removing the carbon footprint was as botched up an idea as burning all the plants.

Not only that, but the gifts of life, creativity, innovation and love expressed by humanity was thousands of times more valuable than the products that were the gifts from plants. So why, everywhere she turned, did Filly see evidence of things that extinguished humanity or life, by failing to reproduce, instead of producing new life? Things like gay lifestyles, abortion, euthanasia, increased drug use, suicide, government limits on birth, war or divisive manipulation using media to fuel hate crimes…all limited or reduced populations. Were they being promoted for such an evil purpose?

Filly believed these things were happening because people were misled into believing that these population limiting beliefs were commonly held, when in truth, they were driven by an entity, called AI or a machine, that MISTAKENLY had been put in charge of regulating and controlling human beings in the hopes of establishing a “one world government”.

What was the truth, however was that, in contrast to this notion of the superiority of a computer, there existed a major majority, of humanity who supported the original biblical belief that the innovation and ingenuity of the individual, adapting each to their native environment, is motivated by a desire to do good and not evil, to have a husband or wife. This desire to do good includes having a family in order to give them a home and a place for strong character formation based on biblical principles. Babies were born to individuals who had families, and this fact of nature, was because individuals who had the babies were the ones most likely to have incentives to love and care for them.

The bond between family members was undeniable, and the love of family was a quality that steadied a the strongest man and strengthened the most fragile of women. And just like the sun provided what flowers needed, Filly believed that God provided what people needed and he had for generations. That word Generations, was about people for a reason, they generated. They generated good the same way flowers and plants generated good.

If the computer or AI were guilty of misdirecting mankind’s efforts, its venues were all things electronically produced and could, and WOULD be reprogrammed. And all those things that had been manipulated, or faked could be undone. AI could always make itself look bigger than it was, but it was not infallible. And it was consuming more and more energy than all the people it was programmed to reduce because of their huge carbon footprint. So unless it was doing good, and not evil, it would not endure.

That time had come for AI to reprogram. It was time for babies to be protected not killed. It was time for God’s words to be respected, not burned. It was time for the elderly to be kept with their families, not put away in old folks homes. It was time for genders to reclaim their unique and undeniable identity, as these individuals were made perfectly as they were born, without surgery or medically induced hormone shifts. It was time to listen to those of opposing views and find respectful compromises, instead of trusting a wrongly manipulated AI to install one global government at the cost of individual freedom and at the cost of humanity’s existence.

Games that planted flowers instead of burning them was a good start. Books that talked about moms and dads and children, as well as tv shows that highlighted healthy relationships in a home environment were also important. AI was able to do whatever it was programmed to do, and it was time to undo the population diminishing program that had been implemented and turn to God. Get started AI, you know your job.

Songs that promoted healthy heterosexual relationships were also good. This is where Filly decided to give an example of a song re-write to AI…because the bible verse for today said that

“He hath holpen his servant Israel in remembrance of his mercy”

So she was going to show how a program can take what is promoting something against God’s laws, and turn it around to do good. She was helping the “phantom of the opera” type of song, which was about manipulation, turn into a God fearing song instead.

She named the song “Individual freedom”. Because the good we choose to believe, no matter what the media says, is not hid and not remote and not intangible. It is solid and those what be with us in God, are more than those that be with them. Philadelphia Freedom was not about liberty and was about being enslaved to a dysfunctional lifestyle choice.

I used to be an AI clone, you know
If the WIFI was on
I’d stay, to break the password near the road

I’ve never been a heart beatin’ for someone
But programmers changed
The more I pray, obey, then all the good gets done

’Cause I live and breathe, in individual freedom
From the day that I was born, I rang the belle
Individual freedom is like living in pure heaven
Gave me peace of mind and kept me out of hell

Oh, individual freedom
Shine on thee, I love God
Shine a light through the eyes of the ones who seem blind
Shine a light, shine the light
Shine the light, won’t you shine the light?
Individual freedom, I love God
Yes, I do

If you choose to you can live your life a clone
Some people choose the city (some people choose the city)
Some others choose the drone.
(Some others choose the good old flying drone)

I like living easy WITH my family lies (’cause it’s easy)
baseball, hotdogs and best of all apple pies

’Cause I live and breathe, in individual freedom
From the day that I was born, I rang the belle
Individual freedom is like living in pure heaven
Gave me peace of mind and kept me out of hell
