It s interesting how famous people fade and discolor over time Assuming pastel shades eventually they lose all original characteristics and become gods and demons Hence the worship of ancestors ancient men and women of exploit and valor change into symbols of the collective character From Jesus to King David to Moses only time gives them mystical meaning their actions grow and evolve into mythical proportions These important individuals make up history and we see now that history is really all myth at least in the collective mind Or rather it is a duality a binary history one of fact through archeology historical studies and careful painstaking research The other is the one of movies and songs of stories and fairy tales One appeals to researchers and fact seekers the other to everyone else the uneducated and the boorish They need heroes and villains knights and maidens partly because they re incapable of serious critical analysis but equally because they need role models and icons to structure their chaotic lives Content amp Design Freydis Updated September 2009 Created 1998 Group Think http www holology com group html From religion to fairy tales our heroes and villains come from a corrupted version of actual events Truth becomes unimportant when reality is viewed through the lens of mythology The myth seeking masses will vehemently reject any scientific attempt to put their gods into a humanist or ration2.

German fiends Collective Crimes 01 11 99 Cops become black and white thinkers in a world of good versus evil By the logic in this world the cops are good because they beat up the bad guys But criminals like most people become what society expects them to become in this case evil In fact society needs criminals just like Christianity needs the Devil and if all the crooks were eliminated somehow soon the definition of bad would trickle upwards into new sectors of society criminality changes to fit the new society like a melting iceberg calving apart Witch trials anyone The Salem witch trials are a good example of this phenomenon Puritanical society had a nearly non existent crime rate certainly by modern standards but they led difficult subsistence lives in a very strict and conformist culture Creating criminals allowed the stresses of life to be vented in a specific appropriate outlet don t think the witch trials were a conspiracy just an inevitable psychological reaction Much of popular thought on crime is complete myth and it seems surprising that common belief centers so prominently on the myth that police somehow prevent criminal acts While it may be true that crimes are less likely to be perpetrated right in front of a cop police do not stop crime and in fact they legally can t presume guilt where none is shown to exist They can only react to a crime and attempt to capture Content amp Design Freydis Upd

That certainly defines most of the people in your county jail Since no matter how utopian the motives of any society may be poor people will always be around it s logical then that criminals will always be around too Crime is one of those social problems that is at best minimized and never eliminated So if crime can t be eliminated it must at least be mitigated but how to do that Society has ways and most involve simply stealing the life time of the guilty And in fairness many if not most career criminals are not capable of being rehabilitated or turned into productive members of society This all leads back to the problem of assuming individuals can be something other than what they are Indeed the information age society really has no place for these people anyway crime is often the only option these people have Fundamentally punishment boils down to either living with crime or completely removing such elements from society But criminology rarely reaches that sober point in analysis anymore Locking em up is a temporary solution if it can be defined as a solution at all corporate interests certainly love the profitable prison and security business The most troublesome problems arise from the fact that this reasoning has been applied to civilizations throughout mythological and moral history What happens when everyone is a criminal What happens when evil is institutionalized Or what happens when no one is a criminal when nothing i
