I sent this Obi but I think everyone should read it

Hey Obi

You're right about the hard part. When the basic mission statement of Zaadz is "to change the world", where do we start? What is the first project? You are dedicated to having a fit body. I share that goal, by ice skating or inline skating every day. I've gone from 237 pounds with dangerously high, blood pressure, to 212 and a very normal, if not athletic pressure. My body fat is 25% and I understand that for a guy my age, 17% is the key.  I have an idea I've actually been blowing it, by keeping my daily calorie count at about 1000.  I guess I'm starving myself in an effort to loose weight. What think ye?

The question still remains...where do we start?

Encourage fat people to become skinny?

Seek out and destroy poverty?

Identify Social Injustice and nuke it? 

Put an end to racism? I'm an old white boy and you are "African American" or "Black" or "Negro" or whatever the currently politically correct term is. Race means nothing to me.  I think MLK's "I have a Dream" speech will live in infamy. I also hate the way members of the KKK teach their kids to hate. Kids  don't hate. They are color blind, disability blind and completely blind to all forms of hate and bias. They get it from their parents. 

My son went to a birthday party for a Chinese friend of his at school. My son drew a birthday card by hand and drew a cross as an element in his card. He is 7 years old. I explained to him that as a Chinese family, they might not know or understand anything about Jesus, but that dose not make them "wrong" or "different". They might have a completely different faith that does not include Jesus, and that is ok.   I wanted him to know that people are different, and that's not a bad thing. 

Not far from my home is the new "Islamic Institute of Orange County". I know nothing about them. They have a big fortified fence around the property. Perhaps they could have an Open House and invite the "infedels" to visit their house of worship? Who knows what good might happen?

Take care my friend. We have much to do. 

Where do we start? That is the burning question.
