Eradicating Scavenger Species in Africa
More than anything, and one of the greatest issues
concerning us all, is the eradication of scavenger species in Africa. The
perpetuation of such species is detrimental to us all due to the harm that it
causes our ecosystem. Scavenger species are the worst in all of Africa and
their persistence is currently bringing down the natural world. We need to
intervene and eradicate the primary scavengers in Africa that are causing so
much torment and bring more peace and restoration to Africa. Contrary to
conservationists who advocate the survival of such species due to their
endangered status, we need to completely eradicate such species- as hyenas,
foxes, wolves jackals and wild African dogs- to bring restoration back to
Africa.
These malevolent species cause massive destruction on a wide
scale in Africa. They cause an aberration in the natural selection process that
Darwin taught and are literally ripping Africa apart. Hyenas often do the most
damage and their manner of killing is obscene and downright brutal. They often
eat their victims alive and such a manner of killing should be opposed. The same manner is exhibited by African dogs
and both species are a menace in Africa. We need eliminate such species as
hyenas and African dogs since they are an aberrant species and commence an
eradication plan to remove these species from Africa and the entire world.
The spread of such species endangers the survival of other
species and impedes natural selection or evolution. The interference of such
species in the propagation of other species is the number one reason why these
species pose such a threat. Now as we have the benefit of video that reveals so
much brutality of the behavior of such species, we can resolve to intervene and
eliminate such a destructive species and bring it down. Hyenas and wild dogs kill
mercilessly and the sight of such attacks and the reality of such gross acts
can move us to eradicate these species. Such a species must be destroyed just
like a virus, plague or disease that ravages an entire forest. We must not let
false animal conservationists to determine the fate of these species but most
take it upon ourselves to systematically kill off such a predatory species.
Hyenas that have such a basic evolution of the animal
species that have only evolved to kill pose the greatest threat and are
inconsistent with the large-scale evolutionary model of our ecosystem. They,
like dogs, are a transient species that are only intent on killing for
survival. There is no purpose but the need to feed and gorge, and is
intermittent or at best, transient. Therefore, human intervention is necessary
to bring the balance back and even more necessarily, eradicate such a harmful
species by hunting or even poaching such animals for their skins or fur.
There is no such menacing, scary and heathen animal like the
hyena who hunts and kills mercilessly often ripping its victims apart. It must
be destroyed to let other species flourish. True science recognizes the harmful
effects a species can have if it interacts in the wild or a natural habitat and
if its presence is not consistent with the prosperity of all other species,
then it must be destroyed. Such vile acts that are despicable among humans
should not be condoned or witnessed in the animal kingdom. We must hunt and destroy
such species as hyenas and African dogs.

A Universal Food Program for all Americans
A Universal Food
Program for all Americans
With the elections close, New Yorkers should really consider
one major topic that affects us all- welfare. Namely, the food assistance program.
We desperately need a universal food program throughout the United States to
help people purchase food. Like Food stamps, a universal food program would
allot money for each household to spend on food. This is vital to the future
and well-being of our country.
Right now, no candidates have spoken out on this topic. We
need to do a better job. With inflation and higher food prices, all families
deserve a fair price on food. For single families who don’t buy in bulk, it’s
even more oppressive. We need to invoke a system that can help each person buy
food that would sustain them. This is hugely important. We cannot let a food
shortage bring this country down.
A universal food program would be very similar to our EBT
program in that it would withhold a portion of a person’s income to pay for
food or conversely, subsidize food for all. People have to spend too much on
other things to be constantly worried about food and further with price gouging
and inflation, they are easily susceptible to overspending. We need to change
the way Americans buy and acquire food for their families. And standing on the
bread line is no answer.
This is a major crisis in America and affects us all and
there are no candidates on either side that have addressed the issue. In fact,
they have remained silent to line the pockets of rich shareholders and supplant
farmers for votes as part of a corporatizing of America. We need to change our
whole view of food shopping. A universal food program would change all that and
can easily be paid for with taxes or a federal subsidy that collaborate with
major food producers and companies.
When a mother is unable to buy necessary food items for her
family it is truly abominable. Further, it could lead to malnutrition and other
health problems. When a working parent cannot afford food for their children
and either alimony or child support cannot adequately pay for the food of our
children, then we are falling short. A universal food program would be a
uniform program that would pay for food for all Americans and thereby be more
fiscally responsible and socially progressive.
I ask all Americans to vie for a universal food program that
will help all families. Please don’t let our citizens starve and be deprived of
such an indispensable privilege- food. Everyone deserves proper access to food
and no one should be deprived. When
families are going hungry, and people cannot pay for food or their children
don’t have good nutrition, there is a big hole in our thinking and logic. We
need to provide for the children and families of this country and not neglect
such a dire issue. When will the politicians listen?
Don’t leave Americans hungry.

outspoken on many social issues and is proponent of a universal food program in
the US.
Reflections on Kenosha Shooting
Reflections
By AJ Naseem
With the recent violence sweeping across the country, it
only shows the greater importance of the Mandela in our lives. When we look out
at the recent violence in Kenosha and elsewhere and some of the senseless
crimes and violence taking place in the name of justice, the Mandela seems to
have an even greater relevance in our lives. Only if its message could reach
more people could many more be saved. The Mandela gives us the perfect path to
resistance and self-preservation.
When we see people reacting in violent ways, it is only the
Mandela that can give us solace and reprieve. The message is clear: expect the
best; think before reacting; respect for self; caring for others; look for a
non-violent path and transforming power. These simple everyday affirmations can
truly change the direction of our lives and give better hope. We really need to
uphold such a sacred rite.
The recent violence has been atrocious and it is even more
important to reflect on the Mandela and look toward it for guidance. We need to
gather around the table of peace with the Mandela at the center to make any
progress. If only more could be done to share the message of the non-violent
path with the young people across the country and others who are caught up in
the violence to take a step back and realize that there is a better way. Alas,
so much suffering and hardship could be thwarted by such a simple premise.
We really need to stress the importance of the Mandela now
more than ever and try to bring its message to the masses. If we are focused on
a non-violent path every day of our lives, a lot of these crises could be
averted. I strongly believe that by practicing non-violence we can get closer
to peace and harmony than relying on physical force. We need to lay down arms
in the words of a famous author and say farewell to realize a true and practical
state. It was hope of all our greatest leaders and I think it comes to light
whenever darkness takes over that the Mandela shines brighter than ever to show
us greater meaning and hope.
I hope no one of our AVP community loses hope during this
time but takes solace and repose in the power of the Mandela to teach and to
guide. It is also needed in the wake of such travesties to give peace to the victims
and reconciliation to those affected. We need to reaffirm such a belief every
day to make it real and not just lip service. I am thankful for the opportunity
that AVP gave me that now lets me know that there is always hope when things
seem too narrow or hopeless. I hope some of the victims of the recent violence
can come into such a fold.
