2.08.2008 Miss this dude and her too!!

A message too beautiful not to share.


Thanks Lynn, I needed this message today. This serves to validate my thinking, that I am not the only one who sees the world this way….as they really are. Helps me to realize that to keep what I have I have, I have to give it away and that the thing I am looking for, I am looking with……..

A Message by George Carlin: (His wife recently died...) Isn't it amazing that George Carlin - comedian of the 70's and 80's - could write something so very eloquent...and so very appropriate.

The paradox of our time in history is that we have taller buildings but shorter tempers, wider Freeways , but narrower viewpoints. We spend more, but have less, we buy more, but enjoy less. We have bigger houses and smaller families, more conveniences, but less time. We have more degrees but less sense, more knowledge, but less judgment, more experts, yet more problems, more medicine, but less wellness.

We drink too much, smoke too much, spend too recklessly, laugh too little, drive too fast, get too angry, stay up too late, get up too tired, read too little, watch TV too much, and pray too seldom.

We have multiplied our possessions, but reduced our values. We talk too much, love too seldom, and hate too often.

We've learned how to make a living, but not a life. We've added years to life not life to years. We've been all the way to the moon and back, but have trouble crossing the street to meet a new neighbor. We conquered outer space but not inner space. We've done larger things, but not better things.

We've cleaned up the air, but polluted the soul. We've conquered the atom, but not our prejudice. We write more, but learn less. We plan more, but accomplish less. We've learned to rush, but not to wait. We build more computers to hold more information, to produce more copies than ever, but we communicate less and less.

These are the times of fast foods and slow digestion, big men and small character, steep profits and shallow relationships. These are the days of two incomes but more divorce, fancier houses, but broken homes. These are days of quick trips, disposable diapers, throwaway morality, one night stands, overweight bodies, and pills that do everything from cheer, to quiet, to kill. It is a time when there is much in the showroom window and nothing in the stockroom. A time when technology can bring this letter to you, and a time when you can choose either to share this insight, or to just hit delete...

Remember; spend some time with your loved ones, because they are not going to be around forever.

Remember, say a kind word to someone who looks up to you in awe, because that little person soon will grow up and leave your side.

Remember, to give a warm hug to the one next to you, because that is the only treasure you can give with your heart and it doesn't cost a cent.

Remember, to say, "I love you" to your partner and your loved ones, but most of all mean it. A kiss and an embrace will mend hurt when it comes from deep inside of you.

Remember to hold hands and cherish the moment for someday that person will not be there again.

Give time to love, give time to speak! And give time to share the precious thoughts in your mind.

AND ALWAYS REMEMBER:

Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take, but by the moments that take our breath away……

If you don't send this to at least 8 people....Who cares?

let's just see what the holy see has to say. ye shall meat your master.



Sometimes my social outrage is unable to temper my grossly passionate LOVE for humanity..   my job is to educate....If i can shock you into realizing the terminal path we our own:   then, WE, as a collective, must forge ahead laying aside our own idiosyncratic boxes that the' powers that be' put us into:  QUESTION AUTHORITY.

 I have little time on this plain to get this message to the masses. The prisons here in america rape the poor,   while the more well endowed, flush with influence/cash, can get away through manipulation of the judicial system.  The cards are stacked against of  those of poor condition. WE have poor houses just like Dicken's novels. Nothing has changed only how justice is bought and sold.  Wealth ....they walk, and build private prisons (aka poor houses)



WHY?

I am You

The people of those foreign countries are very, very ignorant. They looked curiously at the costumes we had brought from the wilds of America. They observed that we talked loudly at table sometimes. They noticed that we looked out for expenses and got what we conveniently could out of a franc, and wondered where in the mischief we came from. In Paris they just simply opened their eyes and stared when we spoke to them in French! We never did succeed in making those idiots understand their own language.

 Why, it was like reading about France and the French, before the ever memorable and blessed Revolution, which swept a thousand years of such villany away in one swift tidal-wave of blood -- one: a settlement of that hoary debt in the proportion of half a drop of blood for each hogshead of it that had been pressed by slow tortures out of that people in the weary stretch of ten centuries of wrong and shame and misery the like of which was not to be mated but in hell. There were two "Reigns of Terror," if we would but remember it and consider it; the one wrought murder in hot passion, the other in heartless cold blood; the one lasted mere months, the other had lasted a thousand years; the one inflicted death upon ten thousand persons, the other upon a hundred millions; but our shudders are all for the "horrors" of the minor Terror, the momentary Terror, so to speak; whereas, what is the horror of swift death by the axe, compared with lifelong death from hunger, cold, insult, cruelty, and heart-break? What is swift death by lightning compared with death by slow fire at the stake? A city cemetery could contain the coffins filled by that brief Terror which we have all been so diligently taught to shiver at and mourn over; but all France could hardly contain the coffins filled by that older and real Terror -- that unspeakably bitter and awful Terror which none of us has been taught to see in its vastness or pity as it deserves...... Samuel Clemits      mc







Cocky? Me absolutely, never shied away from confrontation.

 Let's talk economics..anyone.

For an intelligent discourse one must be versed in economics.....Start with Adam Smith:  wealth of nations.   We will study macro as well micro economies of scale..Cannot say these are the greats, even lessor the greatest, Melton Friedmon, all the way to kaynesian..the trickle down king of Reagon eco-policy.


Lost my MBA because I did NOT buy into this Bullshit.

Bottom line is this ( that is your balance sheet) also specialize in accounting:    The Democrats want to starve  and sanction 10's of millions of the global population,....wtf ,  is that O-kay with you tree huging vegies? quietly the lib cannot face this damage to humanity they claim to protect?  WTF.




At least the GOP is up front about the intentions of the US:  bribe bomb burn. scorched earth policy


they call us useless eaters if we do not buy into consumerism.

kosmicdebris says buy more stuff and speed up the end, let's us get this abortion over with.

ALL LIFE (2 LEGGED, 4 LEGGID, SIX OR NINE) MATTERS.


The GOP...now and today...the blast from the past








Former UN Representative, ALAN KEYES, had previously heard pro-abortion statements throughout the day of the gathering of the present Republican candidates for President in New Hampshire on February 19, 1995. A passion came over him. He stepped up to the microphone at that banquet and gave the following speech:
"I am actually from the great state of Maryland, where my ancestors have lived for the last 200 years, sometimes as free men and women and sometimes as slaves.
"And I realized as I was listening to the speakers who came before me that I come at an important juncture in this program. Because I think that the great alternatives have been laid before you tonight. And we Republicans are going to have to decide again, as we have had to decide in the past, whether we shall only speak of justice and speak of principle or whether we shall stand and fight for them! Whether we shall quote from the words of the DECLARATION OF INDEPENDENCE with real conviction or whether we shall take that document and throw it on the ash heap of history as we adopt the message of those who say that we can stand silent in the face of injustice!
"When it comes to deciding whether we shall stand by the great principle that declares that all human beings are created equal and endowed by their Creator with the right to life, there is no choice for silence! THERE IS NO CHOICE FOR SILENCE!
"And I can tell you right now, that those who are recommending that we pull the "Pro-Life" plank out of the Republican Party platform are recommending as some people decided in the Whig Party in the years before the Civil War that they would be silent on the great issue of principle that faced this nation, we shall be silent. The Republican Party grew up as a Party aimed at dealing with that moral irresponsibility. At standing on the principle that Lincoln articulated, that 'You can not have the right to do what is wrong.'
"And I'll tell you, we have heard a lot of people tonight. They talk about the money and they talk about the budget. But you and I both know, if we are willing to look ourselves in the eye what the truth is. Why is it that we spend so much money on welfare and illegitimacy? Why is it that we spend so much money on crime and violence in our streets? Why is it even that we spend so much money dealing with the problem of irresponsible behavior that contributes to the decline of the health of this nation? I think you all know in your hearts what the real answer is. We don't have MONEY problems. We have MORAL problems. And it's time we stood up and faced that truth!
"And I don't know how, I don't know how we're going to face that truth. If as what's suggested here today we can look our daughters in the eye and tell them that it is somehow consistent with freedom for them to trample on the human rights of their unborn offspring.
"We're going to have find the courage one of these days to tell people that freedom is not an easy discipline. Freedom is not a choice for those who are lazy in their heart and in their respect for their own moral capacities. Freedom requires that at the end of the day, you accept the constraint that is required, the respect for the laws of nature and nature's God that say unequivocally that your daughters do not have the right to do what is wrong, that our sons do not have the right to do what is wrong. They do not have the right to steal bread from the mouths of the innocent, they do not have the right to steal life from the womb of the unborn.
"And I'll tell you, some people may say, that if we stand up and we speak out and we fight for that principle we'll be dividing the Republican Party. But I don't think so. This Party was born on a clear commitment to principle. This Party was born of those who had the courage to stand before the American people and in the face of the threat of a greater division than we'll ever face, insist that we had to respect the principle that make us great, the principles that make us strong, the principles that make us free.
"Look at what's happening in the streets of our cities, look at what's happening to our families today. Do you think that the decline of marriage and the moral disillusion of the family is a money problem? Or do you think it's a problem that comes from putting the self first from deciding that there are no obligations that have to be respected and that at the end of the day, freedom is just another kind of empty licentiousness? We know better and our Founders knew better and it's time that we get back to the truth. They did not tell us that freedom would be an easy road. They offered us a true vision of the future of America. It was NOT a vision of licentious freedom and stupid self-indulgence. It was a vision of freedom based upon the fear of God and the respect for law.
"And why is it, that out of the mouths of all our statesmen and we hear all these great emotional words but they won't speak the simple truths that our Founders from Washington through Jefferson to Lincoln and every President spoke until we got to our own cowardly times? We are not going to remain a free people if we insist on being a corrupt and licentious people. We are not going to remain a free people if we arrogate to ourselves the right to destroy the rights of others. And that's exactly what we are doing when we embrace the so-called "pro-choice", the truly pro-abortion agenda.
"My friends, I think it's empty to praise the courage of the men and women who have died in the service of this country's freedom and its principles and yet decide that we shall lack the courage to stand up for those principles, many or few, or even alone if we must. Because that is in fact the courage that built America.
"This nation was not as some would have us believe a dream of material progress and prosperity and great cities and mountains of money. I'm glad that we have achieved that prosperity, even though it came at much expense to some of my forebearers. Those who toiled in the depths of slavery, they had an understanding of the real dream of American freedom. It's the dream of moral dignity that comes from respecting our true moral capacity. It's the dream of self-government that comes from respecting the fact that in the end, freedom is not just a choice, it is not just an opportunity. It can be a burden and a sacrifice and an obligation. And above all, it is the obligation to respect the truth of our moral identity. That moral identity can unite us across every line of race and color and creed so long as we have the courage to stand for it.
"Now I think you know by now, looking at the Clinton Administration, that if we as Republicans abandon that line of principle, it will surely be abandoned in America. But I can also tell you this in warning, that if you abandon that line of principle, there are Americans who will fight few or many, alone if we must, to make sure that it prevails. And in every point in our history, when we had the choice between right and wrong, in the end, this country chose what was right. And we can be grateful for it. And I think we shall do so again, because we know that the real heroes in America are those in their families and in their daily lives respect the truth that we must meet the obligations and sacrifices of freedom before we claim its privileges and benefits." And if that means as well that 'come what may.' Even if it means that we must sacrifice in our personal lives we have to stand where our Founders stood on the belief that you cannot have the right to do what is wrong, but that if we build self-government on a true adherence to the principles of justice, then we shall hold up a beacon of right and hope for all of human kind to understand the true destiny of mankind. Thank-you"
Alan's presidential bid in 1996, 2000, 2004, 2008 ended when the media pushed his gay daughter out of the closet, his moral high ground was brought down by petty cheep character assignation politics as usual; his message is powerful on many levels and to his credit a rare stalwart to the republican party, he is black and that is the real reason republicans consider him too dangerous to alienate, rapidly becoming a liability to the new collective conservative base, none would dare engage him on the senate floor, he will hijack your hearing , dude, any hearing. few if any have the intellect or the testicles to verbally spar with this man, his message is unmistakably clear, be cautious as to which prez hopeful picks up this banner, especially scrutinize how he wares his mantle of truth; if I was shopping to buy another republican I want a model like this one, as we all know, an honest politician is one that when he's bought stays bought; start this rookie up against Chaney, make Chaney's butch daughter arm-wrestle the Keyes girl for the 08 nomination, deal with that gay issue publicly. I think he'd be good for veep the anti-Cheney. Ron Paul looks scary, he has five or six kids, finding the queer in the family portrait is where's Waldo stuff now days, If somebody like Keyes brought that rhetoric to the Whitehouse someone would get him.) I'm a Wesley Clark-Colon Powell these days as more realistic, if we are going to have a strong defense as a deterrent to aggression, then least we can do is hire the guys we sent to school to be the best at it to run the show. When politics entangles the military for superiority we get generals for diplomats because arithmetic will not support state sponsored talks, sure looks all that strong defense talk was hot air like the WMD's paranoia. There is some irony here, all those finance and tech mergers were so successful in pushing American jobs overseas the managers have managed to drive down dollars so much so that it is easier to eliminate mid-management move overseas and take the jobs of those left here that set up those sweet deals, this is legal tax evasion, when American owned companies allow themselves to be whored out, or are our taxes that great of a burden. I call it unethical as an oxygen starved baby. Anyone that has ever heard a fetal heartbeat through a stethoscope cannot deny that tempo and is separate from your own. Our country will never be great because we don't have the right to do what is wrong, what we get for our troubles is strife until it stops for good.
The above Keyes speech and following text was taken from a Focus On The Family broadcast that was aired February 22, 1995. The show received an overwhelming response. So much, that for the first time in the show's 17 year history they repeated the broadcast the following day.
On February 19, 1995 The present Republican candidates met in New Hampshire. They were asked specifically how they felt about abortion and other moral issues. The following is a transcript of short segments of their answers. (Robert Dole was not in attendance, as in the banquet lasted longer than four hours.)
twelve years later and republicans have only changed the names representing their message.
LYNN MARTIN:
"I'm a pro-choice Republican. I find that it's interesting that the people who I supported never asked about that as an issue. I do not mean it is not important to people. I was raised and went to Parochial schools. I think I have a great understanding of why that is a moral issue. The question for me on that issue: Is should I make the decision for someone else. So I don't think Republicans ought to run away with the issue or from the issue, but I don't think we have to be personally devisive or attack the morality and intelligence of others in areas where they may differ whether it's economics, whether it's social issues, whether its domestic issues, whether it's international issues."
SENATOR PHIL GRAMM:
"First of all, let me say that I am pro-life. I can't reach any other conclusion and be honest with my conscience, but I understand that we have people in the Republican Party who take both views on the issue. And we've got to have a Party that can bring together people who want to change America, no matter how they stand on this issue, and there's no better role model for doing this than Ronald Reagan."
SENATOR ARLAN SPECTOR:
"I believe we should strive for party unity by making the abortion issue an irrelevancy. There's nothing in the "Contract with America" about abortion. I believe that the Republican Party ought to have a platform which is neutral. I'm very much personally opposed to abortion, but I do not believe it can be controlled by the government. I'm not looking for a pro-choice plank, but I don't think it's acceptable to have an anti-choice plank. When a leader of one Republican group said about ten days ago, that someone who is pro-choice is not qualified to be the Republican nominee for President, I was very offended for myself and for about half of the Republican Party. I don't think it is appropriate to put about half of the Republicans as second class citizens. So what I say we do with the divisive abortion issue is: Let's leave it alone. Let's unite behind core Republican values, smaller government, less spending, less taxes, strong crime control, strong national defense, civil rights."
PAT BUCHANAN:
"You cannot call "Right To Life" an irrelevancy. We're talking about the right to life of an unborn child. Forty percent of American people believe that taking that life amounts to a bloody killing of an innocent human being, it is a moral issue of enormous moment, and a great party is got to take a stand on it. The stand we ought to take is the stand taken by Ronald Reagan. He was pro-life all the way. He had a pro-life platform. He ran on a pro-life ticket. And when he put those together, he said, 'Listen. This is what I believe and what I'm going to stand for. However, we've got to put together a 60 percent coalition so if you don't agree there on this issue, okay, do you agree with us on small government, strong defense? You're welcome to come in.' That's the position I would take."
REPRESENTATIVE BOB DORNAN:
"It is a baby, not a choice. If you leave it alone and don't stop its heart and flatline its brainwaves, if you don't kill it, you can call it potential all you want, it is a human being. And we cannot avoid discussing this, in depth, in this race. Roe-Wade has given us 22 years of abortion on demand for any and all reasons or no reason at all through all 9 months. I'm in this race to make sure that we do discuss this issue.
LAMAR ALEXANDER:
"Abortion is very important and here's my view: It's wrong. The states may restrict it, as I did, when I was Governor. The Federal Government should stay entirely out of it, because I believe it's wrong and that states may restrict it. I would characterize those views as pro-life. But I think we need to move on, to other issues."
SENATOR RICHARD LUGAR:
"Well, each one of us will try to determine which issues we believe is most important. I believe most important is the defense of our country, national security of our country. It seems to me we've got to begin to strongly face alliances, we have to bring about non-proliferation of nuclear weapons during these next few years or we shall have a world of terrorists, of blackmail, of life very different of which we have become accustomed." (It is not known if Senator Lugar heard or understood the question, was that his daughter in that beauty contest) successful ancient tactic for conceding stupidity, popularize during the Reagon administration.

Slaves or consumers?

SEOULChina is quietly inviting tens of thousands of North Korean guest workers into the country in a deal that will provide a cash infusion to help prop up a teetering regime with little more to export than the drudgery of a desperately poor population.

The deal, which has not been publicly announced by either Beijing or Pyongyang, would allow about 40,000 seamstresses, technicians, mechanics, construction workers and miners to work in China on industrial training visas, businesspeople and Korea analysts say. Most of the workers' earnings will go directly to the communist North Korean regime..................read more>>


Ed Herman on "Humanitarian Imperialism"
Edward Herman Pt2: The development of humanitarian intervention as a concept is essentially an overthrow of international law
Go to story | Go to homepage



One of my first duties in Korea on the dmz was to guard the tactical operations command, the t.o.c, a fancy word for the colonels crib at the front. I got my security clearance from some black-ops work I did for the cavalry. The north Koreans then, like today, are nuts. There wasn't any news crew there when they shot at us or provoked us. Even in 1977 the cease fire and demarcation line at the 38 parallel was three kilometers or so? wide, with minor small-arm firefights daily, somewhere. The north routinely sent infiltrators through the American lines just to test and embarrass us. Our rules for engagement was if they threw rocks, so could we, threw sticks, us too, match them all the way to thermal-nuclear devices, huh, just like today. But if I bumped into him on patrol I couldn't do nothing to him unless he killed me first. Like hell. Just a few months before I got there a colonel got stomped to death, crushed throat, by a north Korean officer, in the joint security area, under the united nations command(whom just happened to be French soldiers providing security, don't get me started) at Pan-moon-jon. I got tired of sitting around the toc listening to patrol debriefings, me and the colonel were good. I asked him if I could go on patrol as I came from the cav scouts. There was a kind of a weird mash ambiance there, that cast of unique characters.  I volunteered when everyone else in my platoon were trying to keep from getting volunteered. I believed I wasn't going to sit around and wait for those dinks to come get me, I wanted to go looking for them, the tslagi way. My commanding officer captain Geoffrey J. Wilhelmy, was more than just a little pissed at me for going to his boss and I would spend the rest of my time in Korea paying for that fatal error, actually I jumped two spaces. My platoon guide and; company XO, 1st lieutenant Wyatt, he liked me when he realized my value to the platoon, meaning he thought I could possibly save his ass someday. Chain of command is important as long as leaders keep their heads out of their asses and clouds. But I got to go on patrol, and as customary I carried the radio on my first mission, the radio for the enemy is the best target, get more points if you kill the radio and the operator, we do too for the bonus brownie points system. Nothing was going to happen to me I had saint Christopher with me. I logged ..... or so patrol/ambush missions, I have been the point man on a fire team wedge deploying interlocking fields of fire. We set ambushes, cleared mine fields, mooned the bastards. blared black sabbith and ted nugent at those kooks from the north.  when we captured or killed them we gave the south Korean army credit for enemy killed in action(koa) or pows, helps with the press and politics. Each of our squads had a ROK republic of Korea soldier attached, mine was named Suh, he got credit for a few kills. The guys we lost to enemy fire, were I suspect sent home as training accidents, technically they were. Couple of our people stepped on anti-personal mines but no one died. I feared mines more than getting shot. Every time I had to take cover and jump out of a swept area I knew my limbs were in jeopardy . Our mine sweeper was just a renamed metal detector that could pick-up some plastic. There were still more mines left over from the 50s war that were randomly scattered about. I loved it there. Danger Will Robinson, danger. I liked the rush. I'm sure Jimmy Carter didn't know what we were doing. I was given an Im-jim scout patch for my patrol work, even though i was serving in the 2nd infantry division,   allways inside I am a Cherokee scout,  the advance party, drawing enemy fire, forward observer, tactical target acquisition, find and protect the best hunting ground for all.  But that crap(military) didn't matter to me. I would probably have done everything for nothing, still do........stand up for those that cannot to minimize/mitigate suffering. I am finding it hard to believe how gung-ho I was back then. Today I am such a pacifist, man I don't even kill bugs, hell, I put them outside. Sometimes I feel guilty about cutting the grass too short and killing it. I finally satiated my bloodlust. I had camped-out and blowed enough shit-up by the time I left to last me a lifetime and so far so good. Half the country is enslaved and the other half..consumers? of the slavery.........Korea, America............... what the hell was I fighting for? For the pakistani to be surly to this veteran at the local bodaga?  My fight gave you your Right to be rude....here.     respect not gratitude
