Learn moreMost philosophers of history have been apologists excusing the rights of the elite, the privileged, the priests, and the kings—the rights of the king to wage war, the rights of the property owners to rule their tenants, the rights of the priests to pardon sins, and the rights of the lords to create laws.
Philosophy is the foundation of all of societies’ thoughts, and notions of the famous thinkers percolate out to the masses. Most of philosophy has been detrimental to society because it is not thought through. War is stupid regardless of how many great thinkers think it good. Poverty is a stupid scourge to our society regardless of it being regarded as a necessary evil. Crime is stupid behavior by stupid people and can certainly be abolished through proper policy and education.
This is a work of philosophy, but unlike historical philosophies, it does not give excuse to society as it now is but gives plain and serious vision to how it can be.
In the world of the future, there will be no more war, no more crime, and no more poverty anywhere that men shall be.
Allan Ronald Manchester was born April 29, 1955 in Arnprior District Hospital. Raised on a small dairy farm between Carp and Stittsville, just outside of Ottawa Ontario. Primary education was in Carp Public School that became Huntley Centennial. Secondary schooling was through Almonte District, Bell High, and Earl of March Secondary. Drifting through, he managed to graduate grade 12. School normally bored him, and his goal was to attain an average of 55 to 65%. Married at 18 to his 16 year old sweetheart of 2 years, Irene, he then attended and graduated two year Business Administration at Algonquin College in Ottawa. Shortly after his graduation, he failed his first business venture of Country Kitchen Donut Shop in Smiths Falls Ontario. A year later he attended Eastern Pentecostal Bible College, graduating with a theological degree. Two years out of college he felt that his superiors in the church had dealt seditiously with his congregation, and he felt that he could no longer support the organization.
