BUT YESTERDAY’S GONE

TO SPEAK OR SPEAK NOT, IF YOU HAVE NOTHING GOOD TO SAY. THAT IS A QUESTION.

A questionable thing about blogs is that you get to complain all you want.

I don’t know how popular that makes one. When I come across a young persons post on tags, there is often trouble at home apparently, or with friends. It all seems natural, especially for those of us who have no one to complain to about our story, can’t tell those at home, or don’t want to lose all our friends for being a drag. There are probably other reasons as well.

ALL YOU DO IS…

As adults, a lot of this complaining is thrown into politics, to make it seem it is really all someone “out there’s” fault for our discomfort and angst. Some complain about the boss or a co worker who they are having trouble communicating with, or have given up on. Some complaints are about home relationships or love life’s confusion.

There are often shows on TV and movies that show the kids both ruling the home and doing the complaining for many entertainment or dysfunctional reasons. When I was little, overall, complaining was not on the agenda, it usually ended up working against you, or left you with the blame.

DO AS I SAY OR AM OR ELSE?

I have worked in many a company where the companies behavior, much reflected personality traits of the owner, (as also national leaders) for better or worse. It weighs on workers or employees when it is for the worse. Responsible workers end up trying to pick up the slack and often receive no acknowledgement for it, since the owner seems not to value the trait. On rare occasions, they (owner) might notice you have something they really need.

It is unfortunate for uncomfortable work environments where expression of problematic elements of the individuals “story” are not encouraged to be heard. These may come home to greet the family instead with the expression of discomfort, which can both bother the family members or a mate to a great degree, or model frustration encouragement as a family value apparently.

One way or another I have experienced most of these phenomenon. As a volunteer for an alternative to domestic violence treatment, many guys especially need to learn how to compartmentalize work troubles from contaminating home relationship ones, for if we do not have the tools or were modelled with dominator/force (emotional or physical) tools, we can end up burying the love at home and planting fear on top of the pile of anger.

One technique someone used was to place the anger under a rock outside before coming into the house, to pick it back up on the way out to work in the morning. Only to find someone must have stolen the problem overnight. Sometimes a ritual can remind one of both what is sacred and important in ones life.

NOW THAT I HAVE SET THE STAGE FOR MY WORK PROBLEMS YESTERDAY

Luckily I have someone to tell all my troubles to and I hope vicea versa. The object is to tell your story so you can move on or get advice, maybe even have someone share the pain with empathy. I have to remember to pass on the good experiences as well or a downward focus can set up quarters.

Anyway.

My yesterdays whine list is quite short. On the wall I was finishing, in one aspect of top caps, I had to lay on top of it to reach down as far as I could to cut Pyracantha bush branches that were jambed in on the last 5 feet of the wall. They have wicked barbs akin to reaching around in a rose bush. I forgot my long pruners but happened to have a small hand one. My hand was down the side of the wall, with me laying flat dangling off of the top of the wall. My hand became literally covered in blood. As you get older, most of us see our skins become a mere film of what it once was.

The bush kept pushing back into the wall as I cut, so I was there for several minutes with some branches over one half inch thick, difficult with little hand pruners. Being beaten up, I had to shimmy(?) backwards over cement block to try to get to the crocked ladder. Getting onto the ladder, it collapses so I go backwards and sideways blind to the ground. I crash into the wheelbarrow with some mortar mix in it. It goes flying, but for some reason I had mixed the mortar in my rubber cement mixer inside the wheelbarrow. It slide out, leaving the mix still safe and sound.

Since I have neck and back problems, and hit on the side my neck issues are, I did not know how I would be come morning, but I’m not that bad. I’m always soar and stiff by morning, so only more so a bit today. The back of my hand burns, and I have a number of largish scrapes on my arms where I hit the wheelbarrow and ladder on the other arm. Good to go for today.

Whah, whah, whah,. You liberals are such whiners. Why I had an arrow shot right through my head and you don’t see me complaining. Good for nothing, commie pinko sun brothers camping going to Guantanamo springs for a respite I think?

Thanks for the shoulder. OK, the eyeballs, whatever.

Just kidding about those last two paragraphs.

DIGITAL IMMORTALITY and other eternal illusion delusions of grandeur

WE WILL LIVE FOREVER IN CYBERSPACE! NOT!

THE PERMANENCE OF NOW

It is amazing the narrative often advanced by some egos; that they will change things forever, leave their mark.

Reality Context Check

As long as we live on earth, our days are numbered, not just yours, but everyone’s. Marks and making differences of many sorts will be incinerated, and like the dinosaurs, the future will be irrelevant for our efforts. This points to a vital necessity of now.

Now, if we become a space faring civilization, a lot of what I said changes for a very long time. Even at below light speed travel, it is not long in prior adult concept terms, that our whole galaxy is populated by us. The thing of that is, even with our limited speculative abilities on such long term scenarios, we will have evolved into those space aliens so many science fiction fantasies are based on (but not necessarily always mean and dominating). But always being, in each own way, dependent upon now for everything real.

If we manage to retreat scientifically, and not move off into our outer worlds, we will face both the annihilation potentials of this one; both cosmic and human made. In that case some projections have us not around all that much longer in earth time terms. All your achievements, your doing it for yourself, or your family, or some other legacy, all likely rendered mute in days to come.

WHEN NOW IS THEN

I believe all now’s are always connected, so I have been a bit misleading about everything being obliterated if you do not think like I do. But it will one day (day on earth time terms) when it will be right now 2 billion years from now, just as easily as we are 2 billion years from some time ago, and it from the one before. It was easy was it not? For here you are in your instant of life. Oh, you will be gone in the blink of an eye. That is assured.

Philosophically, in our belief systems, it seems prudent to treasure the past, and if we do so treasure our ancestors, this wonderful planet and our abilities to explore further, we must leave that door wide open to space exploration, and not retreat from the greater mission we are potentated with for the thrill of discovery and challenge, if not the Will of the Divine.

It is always this now, this wave crest we ride. Each thought and action changes the ripples, influences the Whole. I have no doubt in this.

But for now, whenever you can, take a look at all the Love that is around you; the privilege to Be, in effect, a chosen one, the awesome responsibility to focus on what we will, the ability to let go of hostilities and embrace giving unconditionally, whenever I so will. That is the Divine connection to now. We are endowed with a certain image of It. To deny It and try being It ourselves is Its most challenging gift. What a giving Creation this is to allow this freedom to imagine, even falsely, who and what we each are.

I trust we are up to this challenge given to us. Each entitled to see through illusion or not. Each entitled to live free or not. Each entitled to embrace Truth and Love, or not. In any of these and countless more ways, it is Now that makes the difference.

Now I must go shopping for construction materials to finish making a “permanent” masonry wall, that will one day fall.  But be filled with definition of all now present in-between.

THE SCARIEST ONE–is us?

THE SCARIEST ONE

.

We are about to be bombarded, and already are, being shown out of context photos and cartoons, plus unsupported, out on a limb, emotionalized prejudice pretending to be news or valid fact based opinion. Reality is bounded by context, when these propaganda pieces throw their mud, context is the first thing thrown out.

Lets have a reality check on this kind of slant. If you (poison pill propagandists) are going to show a mean caricature of someone, show them of all the others, including your favorite, just to be at least decently pretending to be honest and forthright. Not likely to happen!

WHY IS NOT ALL FAIR IN OPINION?

Nothing like mean spirited suggestive images, or out of context quotes to “lie” about what one is saying is truthful. So get real, then we might actually give your post a second thought, or any thought at all. What I am suggesting is, hate and contempt based opinion, not given right to an others face, is as solid as the melting mud it is made out of.

In free speech one has a right to do that (metaphorically throw mud), but if it is to serve ones intent, and not, in effect, blacken the message as one beyond the realm of honest reason, an honest intellectual and heart felt opinion would do one more good. But throwing mud and running away in the dark, is going to win you like minded blinded followers, or none at all.

Otherwise, we might think everyone else, except the one you are making fun of, just might have something to hide behind your misleading bias slant. Is that really your intention?, that we should be suspicious of the one you seem to be for?

QUALIFICATIONS!?

Most mud-tar is intended to blind its intended victims to qualities or qualifications in the one they are tainting. As for fear mongering against any of the current crop of candidates for presidency which this whole post was about; I can hardly imagine a worse candidate, and background history, than the one sitting you know where. And I know, some are blinded to that opinion as having merit.

CRAFT PROJECTS IN CONCRETE–photos at pages

A lightweight concrete pot below.

I just updated my craft page at my site. No. I am not selling stuff there.

To view these concrete tabletops and wall hangings, a fraction of my collection, not in any order of best, check out my craft page and extra long sentence site. Just scroll down right side of page list.

I MADE THE MISTAKE OF LOOKING AT TAGS

TAG. YOU’RE IT.

I often have this glitch that has the tag page pop up then blank out, maybe leaving a couple u-tube click on’s. No such luck this time.

SEEING IS BELIEVING?

There it was, someone caught dressed up in the act of being different, but in a suspicious supposition.

There is that out of context photo going around of Barack Obama wearing a genies turban. No. It is a photo, taken in 2006 during his visit to Wajir, a rural area in northeastern Kenya, showing the Democrat duded up as a Somali Elder. Do men wear dresses in Scotland when visiting their tribe? Are they then proved to be sissy’s? I don’t think so!

It is shocking to view how easily mislead we can be by fear, real or imagined, or tailored right to our insecurities! A post said it proved he was the enemy of us all. “Wake up!” My goodness! One is really born every minute?

Unfortunately, if a person went insane and killed people, and that person once talked to a candidate, they will be said to hang with like birds of a feather. To some that is the end of the story?

The shame in this, is the ignorance masquerading as revelation. That prejudice and insecure identities must resort to ad hominem tricks to change minds. If that is the kind of people some of us think the rest of us are. All I can suggest is to open your mind and heart to other viewpoints, get more information about true context. Face value can be completely fallacious. And if you are sincere; pray for enlightenment in regards to the vast and differing worlds of others.

TODAY WAS A TRIP

A trip about philosophical-political blogging. Then going shopping for construction materials, another chore and then getting some actual work done, in fairly nice weather.

I keep fleshing out my fixed pages, while sometimes doing a morning post before the days activity.

Today I wrote in the morning about conservative and liberal non sequiturs. The power interest in the culture and world that has us bickering over philosophical misunderstandings. Being all right and all about our liberal or conservative notions, while the real power brokers use democracy as a kind of public diversion. The chasm remains; as to what is sacred in each of our hearts, what parameters we define truth by, and the context in which we hold our ideas as complete in.

Anyway.

Today was more block and concrete making do. I have varying stages of development going on in raising and connecting two walls, which have as of today a nice metal 18″by18″ decorative window. Tomorrow I have varying issues to continue with on the wall as I let the concrete and steel reinforced lintel to set up before I let it become completely bearing. I like having multiple projects going at a site in case one does get hung up for a little while. There is usually no problem with that desire.

PIN SATAN’S TAIL ON THE DONKEY!

In politics. It is inconceivable, but true apparently, that wearing a pin or not is a true test of ones patriotism. To be set up in that stupidity and believe it is true, is an insult to the patriotic mandate to be honest and truthful, let alone, allow for free expression (and not require cult conformity) on such personal matters. What next a cross test? Wear the cross or you are apparently satanic? Baloney!

Liberals are the cause of socialism?

One can usually find conservative or right wing post on political tags. I had found one and was replying to it; downloading parts of the Declaration of Independence, Bill or Rights and Constitution. I did this to select large parts that can be construed to be under the assaults of conservative interest. Interest wishing in conserving their power and authority over those documents.

The wedge issue right has done well in their very well funded long historical attempt to change the meaning and intentions of the words of those documents.

Unfortunately, I accidentally hit the space bar and for some reason all was lost. It might have been serendipitous to you to shorten this post.

I must note that Mussolini noted that Fascism is actually Corporatism, a collusion of corporate and governmental connections to “set up” society to their benefit. In effect, a kind of corporate socialism. Currently, what passes for democracy here (remember you do not have a “right” to vote) is easy pickings for dominator ideologies that impose systemic hierarchies akin to authoritarian, other than communism’s recent attempts to seduce liberals into a totalitarian control from a master class.

I know we were told we have the right to pursue happiness and all that, but, the dirty work a nation requires to be built, and let wealth display its more godly privilege over the whole, requires some endemic or intrinsic disparities to perpetually exist. The elite privilege that wealth bestows on one becomes mute if there is not a “pyramid” of human and other resources to prop them up. This fact can be so close to personal identities that it is invisible, like the nose on ones face. There but out of sight, and probably not to be drawn attention to.

THE NATURE OF THE NOOSE

A kind of conspiracy then, exist to keep life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness in a perpetually truncated state for those who have less for one reason or another. People go hungry, not just in the world but in America, while someone is buying a solid gold pencil sharpener for someone. A great divide must be both kept in place and seemingly out of sight or reach. Great expense is given to maintain this status quo of privilege.

Steal the money, inherit the land and sell it off, hook or crook or hard work, money makes all with enough of it, equals in their quasi socialist state, the full fruits of society, just for them, often handed to them having nothing to do with merit or hard won sweat of the brow.

Many aspects of our culture are now in contradiction with our founding documents; the right to bear arms for civilians has been rendered a good wedge for the right but a test of stupidity in many respects. Some of that intent was to prevent both external and internal tyranny. Well most “arms” were of limited sorts then.

Do you really think you have the right to your own nuclear weapon? If the government, controlled by who knows who, decides your cherished guns are to be taken, science has now given them many options, you do not have, to get them from you. No need to pry them from ones cold dead fingers. Gas, micro delivery of certain substances, electromagnetic, microwave and other energy weapons (or drugs) will have you gushing to give your guns away, and those of your friends, when the government is so armed. You however will not be. End of one of the second amendments primary intentions. This is just one point.

THE POST OF LIBERALS SOCIALIST TYRANNY

I am responding to a post that mentioned liberals misread the founding documents (actually he said just the Bill of Rights) to enable their socialist agenda to bring tyranny. Where has this person been these last 7 years? Suspension of habeas corpus, political retaliation for truth telling, various scandals that point their way right to the top, that post that said liberals do not respect the Bill of Rights seems to have eyes shut held under the think tanks murky obsessions. I believe it must be in one of those right wing “conservative” bubbles, that only allows one way interpretation in. A conservative “think tank” is (no, not an oxymoron) a bubble making machine, drawing attention away from full human realities.

What is missing from the; all I got Is all mine no matter how I deserve it philosophy? Well not solipsism! The world, life itself, is made up of infinite connections, including our relationships. The now brain washed “individualist” is often walled into an identity that amputates its full human presence and experience from the Whole of Life. And now their are mechanisms in place meant to keep us there.

THE COST OF FREEDOM FROM WHAT?

If you are responsible for poisoning the environment, you don’t want society to hold you accountable? What kind of free nation is that? In the abstract (free for all chaos) it would seem true that the big bad government is taking money out of your pocket, anger and paranoia ensuing. But what you are doing if cutting the tax on you is passing it (the problems) on to future generations where it might well be an exponentially more difficult endeavor to correct? But I get your self righteousness over being forced against your will. But it is your problem that your will is blinded by the “right”.

If I do not contribute to fixing the infrastructures built by much (Oh boy bad word!) collective effort, who will? The foreign nations we are selling them off to? I hope they are trustworthy.

TYRANNY OF THE RIGHT

The so called conservative party just tried, and still can succeed at its permanent majority. What of tyranny then? “K Street” project was to punish businesses that contributed to Democrats! Have you watched the news, have you seen the character of many of these manipulators and hypocrites? Must not have, since a cults myopic perspective still seems to dominate your socialism in liberalism view.

I am saddened by how betrayed so many conservatives have felt about the last alleged group of them in office; laughing at the Bill of Rights, ignoring the Constitution, racking up record bills, endlessly fear mongering, unilaterally breaking treaties (our word!), using the not so free press to push deception as common sense conservatism. Liberals can feel their pain! They have seen their own betrayals by the powers that be and their stranglehold over the definition of “We the People”, and the collective common good implied in that definition of a nation.

There is nothing new about our predicament and state of affairs. Liberals are not to blame nor are conservatives. It is what I call the dark side of ignorance that is served by confusion, apathy, and its heart stopping ideal that understanding can never succeed at human liberation. To that proposition to stop forgiveness, cripple understanding, enable sophistry and ad hominem emotional stimulation to wedge the population into reaction. Darkness is indeed a power to be reckoned with.

Yet strangely, when hearts open, ignorance and confusion can vanish in the Light.

JUST A TRUTHFUL WORLD

AND NOTHING BUT THE?

What a world it would be if we could live by the Whole Truth. The truth is by definition; not in contradiction with itself. The truth can seem to us at times to be incoherent as in paradox, or blind, as in by ignorance, but that “opposition” might relate more to our abilities to understand life and the universe than its actual fact in reality.

The universe is consistent in its laws of being, or it would not be able to be, that is consistency. For this reason it is sensible to reject the lazy, convenient and opportunistic driven existential relativism that gives equal merit to truth and fiction. There is an inherent and inherited drive to Truth.  Yes with a capital T.

BUT WHOSE IS RIGHT?

Politics and religion make great distinctions over what is often actually varying limitations at interpreting reality and agreeing on its parameters available to human comprehension. Truth is in effect, argued as relative to a mistaken subjectivity, and an abstract untouchable perfection, for many belief systems, the two can never truly meet.

In these our environments, we explore our differences in perception to advance the cause of greater truth. It is the contention here, that we can enlighten ourselves by activating our critical thinking abilities rather than denying them for what appears to be current or comfortable self advancement. Orthodoxy’s, as status quo question free zones, adhered to like security blankets, can institute and worship ignorance in the place of God, or if you will, the Universe of Truth.

WHEN DECEPTION (TEMPTATION?) WHISPERS; “It’s yours! Take it before someone else does!”

When the self “advances” at the cost of the Whole Truth, one is in fact self-deceiving and self-defeating.  One cannot bypass the truth (universal reality) without dire internal/external emotional and relationship consequences. Lies, denial and other deceptions set up the fields of disharmony, aided by what has been called cognitive dissonance, and, or, a temptation to not concern thought with the Whole; the dysfunctional world of opportunism opens.

It seems the universe is set up to honor those with an honest and open heart and mind, no matter the material results humans may impose on other values that serve to confuse appearances.  The illusion of “having” materially, has become a kind of substitute for both Love and understanding of oneself and connection to all that is. Fear of loss will be advanced, however, not just to give thought to protection from insecurity, but to control perceptions by steering thought away from the heart of the Whole matter at hand.

BUT ME FIRST ALWAYS

I propose that much of the division and conflict at home and in the world is because of self serving attempts to have things “ones own way” (no matter how well intentioned!) when in fact that way is the wrong way if it fails to stand up to the inherent objective standard of passion for the Whole Truth.

Though none of us are perfect with objective clarity, life hands each one the quest to be more whole and fulfilled. This occurs in a more lasting and unshakable way by drawing closer to truthful reality, perhaps necessitating the presence of ambiguity and nuance if clear and simple conclusions are not possible. This present position of uncertainty may require humility, implied conditionality of context, and most importantly, forgiveness; for oneself and others.

LOVE FOR THE TRUE WHOLE

Tired yet of all the alleged fact and opinion that do not meet this full and unbridled standard of illumination, but instead provoke the darkness of subjectivist separation via ignorance and its progeny; conflict? Then we need a field of honesty about the human condition; about the appeal of subjective gain, and the resulting imbalance that can then emit into the world and create dissonance that will self perpetuate as conflict (some internalized state of falseness to Being), unless it is understood for what it is.

We each must acknowledge that internally and in the outside world of others, the Truth faced up to in the light can be painful to behold, making it seem a challenge to embrace the light over the darkness. Light can be blinding, if not humbling, to find in the presence of Truth that ones past assumptions have proven to be in error, and admit that that error has brought pain, discomfort and confusion into the world.

THE PAIN THAT PRODUCES GAIN

Our work at exposing what is hidden may bring this pain into the forefront to be processed. Yet true growth of individual perception only comes after this transcendence of deception and illusion. This effort is then dedicated to the proposition to be true, whatever it takes.

This is to Whole Love. May it hold us all in Its arms.

WILL THE REAL PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATES PLEASE STAND UP

NOW IN THE CENTER RING

We have the ex straight talk express looking more like a carnival roller-coaster. We still have the two presidents for one juggling travelling side show. And we have the poet express that gets it steam from color, age differences and dreams all rapped up in handy chants that promise what we have to deliver.

HOW TWO NEGATIVES MAKE A POSITIVE

Completely astounding, is how it is alleged that what the right wing thought was worthy of impeachment to a “liberal”, when coming from the alleged liberal press, may have the ability to unite them behind someone they think does not think like them overall in their party.

Opposites attract?

The center of the corporate world is where? New York City, right? It is amazing after how they (NY Times) were used to sell misleading info on a looming conflict not so long ago historically, they still are the Big, Omnivorous, never ending in their job of undermining America, liberal press.

Fool me 999 times; shame on you. Fool me 1000 times; shame on me!

Naturally then, the anti conservative supposition, is supposedly good enough of an attack from an anti conservative cause, to possibly rally the right behind someone they did not desire. That was until an alleged liberal establishment pointed its finger at him.

Strange how ones apparent enemies condemnation can confirm a thing for someone they would possibly have not considered much of otherwise. At least that is the talk. Liberals real or imagined, by their actions, have the power to change conservative minds to do the opposite of the presumed liberal intent.

Did not the current administration in 2001 have a policy that; if Clinton did it. We (the grown ups) will do the opposite. It sure seemed as if that was one sure thing one could count on them to react to in the reverse.
Simple reverse psychology.

BUT

I suspect the corporate world, including much of the presumed liberal corporate world, might rather have the newborn “conservative” candidate, instead of one who seems to have an agenda being established in the public mind, of intending to hold corporations much more accountable for their impacts on society, justice and democracy. That might effect the old stock portfolios, that provide a socialist like security net for large stock holders. Even liberal ones.

COULD IT BE?

I have not heard this theory presented, but I thought it was odd that the sexual innuendos release came when the dynamic duos slick car suddenly started to sputter as if running on fumes. Now out of the unimaginable blue, the very well to do might have a spotlight beaming at them from parallel quicksilver lines. If so. I can see the cleaver notion of switching the tracks with a liberal tag, to elicit the rights usual knee jerk response.

So predictable. But is it true? Did the mythical beast called the liberal press spread innuendo about their assumed opponent, not to destroy his chances at the oval office, but to aid them?

SURE ALL CONSPIRACY THEORIES ARE NUTS; EVEN THE TRUE ONES.

THE POLITICAL MIND————LESSNESS

It is good we share our points of view on things, including candidates. Good to a point that is.

The hard to believe part, the mind numbing thing is the near constant kind of “plagiarism” that occurs when we repeat talking points as if they were our own meditated enlightenment’s of mind and heart.

The right wing of things have turned this into quite an art and way of life even. ‘Attack them there so they won’t attack us here’, was repeated so often, its out of world and human reaction context was sent down the drain. It was just lately the accusation that those who are against pre emptive actions of war are for the old Nazis winning over the Allies. When, which of those two were actually using the pre emptive concept on their population?

The left wing is full of concepts more like Swiss cheese than anything solid, true. But I am not going into how they pass their own symbolic concept test around to check for purity. This is about we off the Internet common bloggers.

IN MY YOUR OWN WORDS

Today I have read tag post from the left and right, or more accurately in favor of two parties candidates, that are nothing more than regurgitated talking points. One mentioned the badness of the “socialist” agenda by one candidate. I imagine it was not in reference to the current socialism the wealthy enjoy thanks to all our hard efforts, and yes, taxes we will pay one day to cover all their business expenses allegedly for our own good. It must have meant the socialist buzz word chants usually truncated view constantly bombarded at us from one direction.

Then there was one whose few points and short post was about one candidates readiness to start on day one, with experience, maturity or whatever, some word for word talking points being used to sway “followers” away from a certain inspiring candidate. Yeah, all sound bites are meant to tag our brains, but need they push out our own thoughts? If one cannot think for oneself, just say; “I am voting for blank, here is the link to their site so they can tell you all the propaganda I now have absorbed as the reasons why I am voting for them. Thanks.”

Too harsh? Maybe so.

It seems we do not, as a nation in general, know what are good personality traits or kinds of experience to chose one candidate over another. We say experience as if humans do not have experience unless they are on our side. We say leadership, or national security, without a thorough comprehension of what the dimensions of national security are.

It has seemed to be reduced to; will you kill the bad guys for us who are out to wipe us out for good? Get them before they get us? The notion has inherent stupidity encapsulated to time release in it. “No. I am going to let whomever do whatever they wish to us. I am for freedom of all.” This is akin to the answer expected from those against national security types associated, (through much hard work and propagandized expense) to one party.  Just pretend that all this attacking does not create blood feuds to endure through generations, nicely serving varying conservative cults for years and lifetimes to come.  Until obliteration day.

JUST YOU WATCH!

Am I using my precognition powers to deduce how future post will regurgitate endlessly, the talking point sound bites of one side or another? Don’t make me laugh by saying yes! I have sore muscles on my side and you don’t want to hurt me do you?

By the way, I am sure someone has used all these words I am using before, even phrases, I apologise to all of you for taking these words out of your own mouths. I did not mean to. But perhaps you should have claimed them like “fair and balanced” so I could not say them without your permission. Better hurry since I am claiming the legal ownership of all words so I can become unimaginably rich. What? You have already claimed all the letters! Darn!

THE WORDS OF ADVICE FROM WHO KNOWS WHERE

But my friend says he is better, or she is in possession of the right kind of experience. Oh Boy! Democracy! Run for the hills! The clones are coming! The clowns? No the clones! Wait a minute. What did he say they were?

WHO IS HOLIER THAN WHO? VOTE THE MOST HOLY ONE!

WHO IS HOLIER THAN WHO? VOTE THE MOST HOLY ONE!

I looked at my tag list again, and since it has politics; liberal and conservative in it, I get to read how humbly but absolutely certain we are, that we are on the side of good and honest. You, on the other hand, I do not wish comment from. I write my polemic and you keep your punditry out of it. At least I have seen examples today of this proclamation.

HYPOCRISY

Most of us think we are true to ourselves, unless we are purposely lying to someone online. I do not tend to see my own hypocrisy in areas I have not scrutinized closely enough, or where the self protection psychological defense mechanism called cognitive dissonance kicks in to avoid my looking into incongruities in my philosophy or beliefs. That doesn’t make me right however.

Since I value liberalism for its freedom loving, and for some, responsible interconnection to all things, I tend to let liberals slide on our contradictions or blind following of what is said to be a liberal value by someone on liberalism’s side. I do believe that liberals overall, need to listen more closely to conservative interest to try to get to the heart of the matter, which is often a somewhat camouflaged insecurity fear, behind a conserved superiority notion or liberal blame buzz frame.

THAT SAID:

As a human being, I cannot comprehend being against health care for all. Sure, have special care for those who want the freedom to pursue “better” care. Keep the private health care system going for those who can afford it, of course! But do not leave people to die or not have preventative care out of some callus so called moral reason. Who said money equals morals? It was once a conservative tenet, in some old circles, that money if the source of all evil.

LIFE OR DEATH OR IN-BETWEEN

I do not care if for some emotional or dysfunctional disturbed reason, that you cannot or will not work. If we are human, we still care, even if gratitude is not returned. Since when is love and caring a strictly reciprocal “deal” or contract? What kind of humanity is that? Seems like differing space aliens using sign language to trade spaceship parts for their robots.

People who are alive but supported by a society for whatever reason, still pass money on to eat, or one way or another, all the other necessities for existing in society. That contribution does not dead end there. We are willing to spend more on defense than all countries combined, for our insatiable fear of everyone else. But what of helping our own citizens for a tiny fraction of that, who are in trouble for one reason or another? No. I cannot go with you on that, cause I have heard that is not conservative values.

It ends up we help farmers some, yep in “conservative” states. We bail out corporations, some. We get pork deals for our votes, some. We take money from the public till; and as we have seen under the so called conservative breed in recent years, the reality check is, that they are the biggest pork and wildest spenders of all. (I have come to call much conservatism, hyper liberalism.) But do not help someone poor out! That would just encourage them to do nothing!

What kind of consciousness lives in such dichotomy, yet still has the time to point the same finger out at liberals. Would we help pick up an old person who asked for our aid if they fell on the street? Or just walk on by as to not interfere with Gods will? Well check the hand while pointing, cause three are pointing back at your own heart.

THE WEDGE CUTTING MACHINE

Since World War Two, conservatives (their manipulators) have been out to “warlordise” the population into post industrial feudal systems. Especially in the last thirty some years, huge fortunes have been spent to breed conservative “ideals” or “values” into the direction of the opportunist and predator. It has become lazy and easy to be conservative because there is such a deep well of ad hominem logic poured into the airwaves and out of “think tanks” and even pulpits, to make sure money and blame seems to be closer to Godliness.

I can get my teeth fixed and my heart looked after if I inherited, stole, have a rich relative maybe, or hard earned enough money to. If not; too bad loser. Is that the high ground conservatism sticks its post into? It is, if one is against health care for all. Or else one is a misanthrope. Much vocal conservatism these days, seems more founded on quicksand.

THE DRY ROT OF CIVILIZATION

I have come to call conservatism the dry rot of civilization, because it eats away ones humanity from the inside out. You can look responsible, dress nicely, have a golden home over the sea, go to church and agree at the terrible state of a permissive society, do all that and be hollow inside.

Someone posted recently, quite a list of prominent conservatives who changed sides on specific issues as soon as it hit their family ( ex. Mrs. Reagan and stem cell research). I believe many conservatives are hiding stealthily behind a hardened heart, listing, thanks to propaganda, many attributes about withholding here and withholding there. The whole tax and spend wedge frame is fraudulently placed solely at the liberals door. Are soaring oil profits not putting any dent in your wallet? How about global warming and depletion of resources and pollution?

But when the storm hits, or a beggar pulls them out of a burning car and gives them the shirt off of his back. Well then, some floodgate opens inside. Our common humanity and connection comes rushing out.

It is not about tough love or hard love. It is what happens when one allows into ones life; unconditional Love.

78 DEGREES OF SEPARATION FROM ZERO

(Scorpion in my cereal bowl photo at bottom of post.)

It is starting.

The warm weather is turning winters corner, and careening into us early next week, up to 78 degrees.

Good that I am finishing my window and wall around it block project before heat becomes a diverting issue. In summer, as they say in the southwest; “But it’s a dry heat.” Then someone might say; “Yea., but so is a blowtorch!” or “Yea, and so is a hot oven. Doesn’t mean I want to live in it.”

That said; I have been in 80 degree weather at near 80 dew-point, that will feel more uncomfortable than a dry 105. The heat index is a scale created to suggest comfort of ones bodies evaporative cooling abilities, and how temperature and humidity feel in regard to how well my bodies air conditioner can work. It was not made up by westerners to make the people they left behind back east to feel bad. They can feel bad all by themselves. Thank you very much.

Here in high sun and hot day land, in construction, people may start work at sunrise in many places. When that sun starts getting up around 4:30 am, people will be at the job up on the roof or out at the wall or pavement. It gives you a long afternoon off, but you can be so drained by being out there still at 1pm, probably after just 5 hours sleep, that those afternoons of coffee and staring out in the distance drinking in times are a vacation. You wish! There are home projects to do. Get up on the roof and get the “swamp” coolers going.

MOVING TO TUCSON?

If you do ever move to Tucson I have some advice if you are buying a home. Tucson’s natural disaster is—-termites. They are in ways weather related.

Use both gutters (if possible) and have the ground slope away from your home. Try to keep the roof in good condition, as to not let water into the wood. Most building codes try to cover these issues (except gutters), but you unfortunately may need to have a termite companies service contract to make sure.

NEW BUILDING?

If you are building new, the ground gets treated under slab-code. There are many non wood, or treated wood alternatives, even heavily reinforced monolithic slabs that will not crack (fingers crossed) and let the subterranean little munchers in. Their tunnels can reach up from the ground to a second story in a garage or a plants shade right at a wall, so you do have to keep an eye out for quarter inch dirt lines. Termites are possibly scurrying inside in the controlled atmosphere until they reach something the queen likes.

I suggest gutters since I have seen many a home have its footings crack from the year by year soaking parts of them get by the occasional pooling or runoffs from storms. Get that water some feet away from your homes foundation.

If building during the beginning of monsoon season when the dry wood termites spread, if you are using plain old wood, don’t let them leave it out in the open where it will get extra wet. Probably should cover it and even have a pro spray a borax solution (or whatever they use), or find out how to do this yourself. Every board could end up with a potential “dry wood”queen in it.

A company can come and spray all the boards once the roof is dried in if you feel no one is paying attention to the strange ants walking around, or circular pencil lead round holes showing up. Salt and pepper like small sand on the floor can mean dry wood termites are already enjoying your hospitality. There is an easy finger and palm test to distinguish termite debris from crickets kind, which look a bit similar.

THE ANTI IMMIGRATION WALL

If you get your periphery walls and plumbing inlet areas treated for subterranean, don’t freak out days later and call your lawyer (yet) when stalactite trails start descending over your bed. The bugs have been cut off from mom and are trying to figure a safe way from where they are stranded. Remember, termites are most helpful in removing wood debris from the ground. You just don’t want them thinking your house is really a dead tree laying around your new 60″ HDTV.

I also believe that most pluming ground access has (possibly code) rubber like flanges that act to keep things from coming through what in olden days was a dirt opening in the floor. You might be able to get these retroed in when a plumber does work there.

The good news? Many old buildings that have been well protected never get termites because the woods moisture content, in these deserts, is generally too low for them to live in. Yea!

If you do end up with termites, they can be terminated. Bad damage that you might see can just as quickly be absent from the rest of your home. Don’t completely freak out until a thorough assessment is done by a professional. Then have tissues at hand.

WHEN IS A TENT A WALL?

Dry wood type (the last I have heard) require your home to be tented and gassed. They are a larger termite somewhat independent of ground moisture, but usually have quite relatively smaller colonies than subterranean ones.

I am not otherwise a professional in this area, once worked at termite home restoration to make homes look like they did before they were torn apart to get the bugs out, even cabinets!(15 years ago). It is kinda creepy when you find out termites were crawling all over just behind your wonderful sink tile!

AND THAT IS TODAY’S WEATHER AND TERMITE REPORT

YOU MAY NOW START SWEATING

PS

If you have a nice wood burning fireplace, make sure the wood you bring in and store is bug free. Best to leave most of it outside until needed. But always keep an eye out for scorpions. I have seen hundreds but never been bit or know of someone who has. One was in my bowl of cereal once last year! I felt it brush my finger as it came out of the box. It was the same color as the cereal. I took a picture of that. I don’t have a scanner, so will find the photo and put it on this post whenever I get a chance to.

Here is that picture of a photo

SCORPION NUT GRITS CEREAL

BREAKFAST OF CHAMPIONS; DEAD ONES

Now lets go run blindfolded through the cactus patch!

THE END IS NEAR! THE THEORIES ARE FALLING! PICK YOUR FACTS!

I read a post concerning a very old theory of the lifespan of democracy. It describes stages of the eventual fall of democracies over a two hundred year span on average. It is linked down this page.

This was offered with no apparent answers, except a harangue over illegal immigration, and presumably, some kind of wake up call to arms. I expect some of that immigration is helping the profit bottom lines of many of those assumed to be the holier ones in the democratic cultures scenario as presented in the second list.

It goes on to list many sometimes irrelevant facts to create the impression that dependence on the government till, by unworthy types, spells doom for a culture. That may be true, but who you think is benefiting from the government; such as the military/industrial/congressional/corporate complex, is not on the apparent radar.

Instead, vast generalizations are offered that are open to argument over who meets which of the old theory’s stage progressions downward, and in what way. Get your eraser (NOT)!, cause it will not be mentioned. Nor is there a mention of corporate world hegemony growing ever more influential, to the extent that voting itself in many of the worlds democracies begins to seem futile to alter any direction a nations seems headed, except for inward nationalism or religious orthodoxy.

OF BOTTOM LINES AND TOWED ALONG BELIEFS

This now world wide competition, and at times collusion, of special wealth privilege and or religious interest, and their special influence over democracy; such as setting intellectual agendas and viability’s of ideas open for change, not a note. Not one iota of a hint that these forces, these now extra national forces, are themselves contouring democracy to suit their needs.

To read the spin of selected facts, some curious, and most open to interpretation by the philosophy you prefer, has a near panic atmosphere, generated by the stretched logic needed to construe a predictions fulfilment in print. (The sky may be falling, but there is a difference between rain and a cometary impact.) Odd things, like the number of states and land area won by Bush and Gore in 2000. As if land itself is voting.

Remember, in the whole presentation, it is never mentioned that Gore won the popular vote. That voters were selectively targeted to extinguish their chance of having a vote. Nor is it mentioned that the government under Bush is racking up a phenomenal government bill that we all must pay one way or the other. The war industry if profiting mightily, though at our expense. One way we will pay, may well be democracies collapse. Bias is best hidden right under ones own nose.

NO! THE OTHER WELFARE STATE SCAPEGOAT

How the poor are left in a poor state educationally and locationally, and most importantly, ignored in their psychological needs in regards to the country, is not there. The resulting existential plague of who is more worthy than who as human beings, is a good study in hidden bias as a revelation of cherry picked facts meant to fit a theory. (WE have been there as a nation. Still doing that.) Some of the assumed more glorious phases of our democracy did not allow women and Blacks to vote, even allowed for the old fashioned form of slavery. Abstractions can be a handy place to keep just what I like.

That the poor are, now as ever, a necessary scapegoat and recruiting pool for undesirable and underpaid work to benefit the few, is of course missing in action. These are my points of view pertaining to what was left out of the two specious, yet easily manipulative list.

That said; here is the post of loaded and slanted philosophical notions about who is a deserving citizen.

I better give you that post; Fwd: This is an eye opener

Eye opener indeed.

If that opened my eyes to its world view, might have well put the coins back over them. Otherwise, while I am alive, you can wake me up when honest to goodness human truth is being presented, and not cognitive dissonance embedded in reaction to insecurity proped up fear.

We are not apathetic as a nation, because we are fat and weak from the government tax and spend till. Apathy is more likely the byproduct of those who see their votes repeatedly add up to nothing, even when they win.

COUNT ME IN?

Now we do not now know if our votes are even counted anymore. Not with the absolute certainty at least approachable with a paper trail. I do not know how well a democracy can survive when one party just tried to gain permanence, let alone that money determines much of any candidates exposure in the long run. What of our candidates actual “right” to lie? “I implore you not to look behind the curtain! I am the great and powerful, decider?”

Power interest is as power interest does. Wake up and smell the reality of who controls information and why we are so uniformed of our countries (actually special interest) actions in the world. Until we are shocked out of complacency by the blow-back of that ignorance of the world, and fall into another reactive cycles quagmire.

I do not need theories and questionable list to vote. I need the honest truth!

THOSE WHO HIDE BEHIND HATE AS GOOD

It is usually called patriotism.

It can be flag waving, lots of flags everywhere, Nazis and communist do that too. It is usually some test of abstraction to determine in the abstract, if you are for those promoting the abstraction from their own angle, or against it. To be against it equals something akin to being a traitor, seditious, or ungrateful to the place where that abstraction abides in the testers mind and intentions. But is implied to pertain to everyone as such! You then become the target of loathing and a parade of persecution, if it can be taken (manipulated, construed) that you implied differently.

PERSECUTION AS PRIDE

It happened to the Jews is Nazi Germany. A cult takes over, puts up its test, then targets those unwilling or unable to pass (nose size?), for the test was meant to rid
