“Computers of this caliber will hamper the learning abilities of children. I'm of the belief that children in K-12 school years should be encouraged to use their minds to calculate simple everyday things. They should not be dependent on computers for everything in their lives. If we go down that road, computers will eventually overrule humans. It is a similar flaw with attempting to have a society of people who rule simply on logic and nothing else. We are human beings. Every decision, every rule, every law should have a human element when made. And let’s face it, humans are emotional beings. We have a left side of the brain and a right side that function independently of each other, which gives us this thing called balance.” “I agree,” Rachel stated. “That is why it is just as important for children to learn how to play jacks, or swing on a tire, as it is for them to calculate math problems.” “And for people to play as hard as they work,” Regan added. “Balance is important to enjoy life.” “For me to enjoy life, a few of these powerful computers would be helpful in the school system,” Riley huffed. “Tell me something,” Drake asked. “Once the information is put in your server, will it be able to tell us how many babies

However, this country was built on the acceptance of all men being created equal. Evil forces understand division is the way to conquer

With power comes responsibility. You must protect those who are weaker than yourself. By doing this you will empower them and raise an army to the magnitude the evil forces will not be able to defeat. Together is the only way to eliminate the forces of evil from your government. Know you are not alone in this quest. There are others who are in the learning stages, just as you are. However, you are the only one blessed with access to the gods of humanity. Just as I am among your ancestors, you are the conductor of all. You must guide them through the turbulent times coming your way. The magnitude of the responsibility upon your shoulders is
