Anthropology to the present day has not adequately explained man's leap in evolution from a cave existence to a more advanced situation. Some people say it was induced by a higher beings, other have succinct religious explanations.

Northern Ireland and its barbaric caveman society is waiting for the moment or moments in time when it will give up its animal genes and metamorphise. It will take complete severing of old methods and old loyalties. If we haven't got the will power then we had better find it and give our lives meaning, instead of been lethargic in the face of serious problems that may never go away because we are consigned to a terrible era in our development.

Other parts of the world are also waiting for their evolution to take place. The great fear of change has eliminated that crucial evolutionary shift. The idea that things can be different if we accept as a society that change is our very purpose on this earth and the meaning of life. Why fight it by holding on the unholy and animal past?

We also need to get the public involved in bringing about this new horizon. The new horizon will not come without significant public involvement, which is a million miles away from the narrow political agendas of political parties, who are getting paid to do the job. The people on this island have a purpose to evolve and change from a retrograde state. Without change there is no life—we change or we suffer—Eureka!
