Toni Morrison's Song of Solomon

Song of Solomon is a great novel for 2010. Toni Morrison uses her novel to connect the past, present, and future with the flow of a large stream. in a time when people treat life like it just appears out of thin air, Song of Solomon reminds us that we all have ancestors as well as traditions that affect who and how we are. Morrison's Song of Solomon gives us clues to the solutions of our current problems like why some communities are so violent. For the answers, which seem to escape our leaders, look at the decades or centuries that precede us in the here and now. Morrison also shows us that we cannot escape our past, no matter how hard we try.

New World Order

Most people think that a new world order run by secret societies is ominous. I do not belong to any of these societies, I like to share, but I do not see anything wrong with our best and brightest controlling society outside of the reach of the silly opinions of the masses. It is obvious that the old world order is dead. The pain that most of us are suffering comes from the fact that we are trying to live our lives in psycho-social vacuums. If our most illuminated people are not going to lay down different foundations, then who? Do you really want the leading politicians to guide us? Or perhaps you would be comfortable with our leading clergy. These people would not know scholarship if it bit them on their buttocks. Of course we could all decide for ourselves how we are going to live. But the average person is only capable of doing what they are told at this point in our empire's history. I love enlightenment, so I want the brightest of each community leading us into the new world order of the 21st century.
