We need to go back a to world with no electricity period. We can live like the Mormons, and survive in the jungles and share the outdoor areas with the animals. We need to get far away from all these computers and other electronics.

The only reason we have theses computers and internet is for greedy commerce to flow and no other reason(s). To pay bills, be a consumer, get tricked into African money grabs, donations, etc... God wanted us to live happily in a garden in peace. This earth is not peace its nothing but profit and taxes (more profit).
