From the time of the Roman Empire and the expansion of Europe, Judeo-Christians (civilized man) worked at building his cities, his art, his intelligence, his money and his power. With this came greed and lust and war. He also created a society of rich and poor, and needed prisons when to poor tried to equal out the riches. Civilized man created taxes, and royalty, and those more equal than others.

Civilized man started to destroy nature to build his cities, he started to hunt animal groups into extinction. Civilized man would steal from his brother or watch his brother starve. Civilized man had no balance, he had no respect for nature, for each other, for self and for mother earth.

Civilized man had become drunk with power, felt God like because of the intelligence he had gained. He had become his own worst enemy but had become blind to that fact.

Across the ocean, in the America's another group of people emerged. Some when they discovered them called them Savages, but were they?

Here was a people who lived in harmony with mother earth. They had no cities or money or power. They lived in groups or tribes and all worked together for the benefit of the tribe. They had no taxes or government or royalty. They had no prisons. They did not steal from a brother or watch him starve, instead would offer what they had to make sure all had some.

They did not hunt animals into extinction, in fact they moved from place to place, nomads, only taking what was needed to survive. They respected mother earth and all of her creations. They had balance.

Civilized man, not satisfied with what he had done in Europe, set out to seek new lands that he could put his claim on. Like locusts on a fresh crop, he found the America's and set claim on this land. Just like the locusts Civilized man invaded America, started to clear out trees for his cities and farm lands and factories.
