Rob's Ringpage on the Wayward Intellectuals Web Ring

Robert J. Morton (robmorton@clara.net) is a software developer, systems analyst and programmer who is also a technical writer. He worked in the IT industry for over 25 years. Through a combination of circumstances he became long-term unemployed and has had to live on welfare since 1991. This fired him to turn his skills to an incisive analysis of the society in which he lives, and from thence to ask - and seek answers to - the most fundamental questions of life.

The result was his book The Lost Inheritance.

This book delivers a forthright indictment against capitalism for the unjustifiable disparity it has inflicted upon the inhabitants of Planet Earth. It then ventures a suggestion for a better and fairer way of turning work into wealth, based on an alternative concept of family and community which is neither capitalist nor socialist.

This book covers a vast range of topics, among which are:: A Relative Society - physical reality forces all to have a different point of view.; Misunderstanding - the nature of language itself guarantees misunderstanding.; A Fairer Society - equal opportunity necessitates equal means.; A Higher Reality - is the physical reality we perceive just the tip of an iceberg?
It also contains some philosophical poems:: The Lost Inheritance - a bitter-sweet lament about our planet.; Millennia - A poem about the retrogression of human progress.; The Corporate Clock - A poem about stress in the modern world.; War and Peace? - A poem about long-term unemployment.

"I claim my fundamental human right to be able to express my opinion freely, as I have done in my book The Lost Inheritance. To help preserve this right for all, I lend my support to the Blue Ribbon Online Free Speech Campaign." - Robert J. Morton.
