PHYSICS WITH A DASH OF META

Vine Deloria Jr. way back in 1979 was exploring Western thought and religion. His thoughts are still relevant today first a quote from anthropologist Gregory Bateson. " If you put God outside and set him vis-a-vis his creation and if you have the idea that you are created in his image, you will logically and naturally see yourself as outside and against the things around you. And you will arrogate all mind to yourself, you will see the world around you as mindless and therefore not entitled to moral or ethical consideration. The environment will seem to be yours to exploit. Your survival unit will be you and your folks or conspecifics against the environment of other social units,other races and the brutes and vegetables."
An excerpt of Deloria; " History became such a dominant form of interpreting the human experience that Western peoples ascribed a reality to it in itself, particularly when it was expressed in Christian theological concepts. All human existence had meaning because a divine plan was coordinating each and every event prepartory to a grand climactic judgment. Thus rather than negate daily existence, Western peoples became frantically concerned that every human act had cosmic signifigance that would be revealed at the Last Judgment. Rigid rules and regulations arose to guide the individual through his or her period of testing in order to escape eternal damnation.

CINDY SHEEHAN, IRAQ AND 9/11

Cindy Sheehan was in Pittsburgh on Sun. which happened to also be the 4th anniversary of 9/11. I was lucky enough to hear her speak and I am not surprised America has rallied around her. She speaks with the conviction and resolve of one who is tired of being hurt and lied to. There was no glitz no fancy schmancy crap just a regular citizen with like minded individuals who have had enough. She reminded me of what freedom and democracy mean, the ability to speak out against the wrongs perpetuated against us regular folks who don't have an in to the beltway. Just a regular woman with the power and conviction of words and ideas to spark our dormant hearts .Maybe this mindset has sparked the whimpering editors at the New York Times who have meekly scampered under a rock afraid to challenge the absolute corruption of the Bushies until today. The NYT actually acknowledged today that the Bushies had been warned numerous times before 9/11 about the possibility of terrorists flying planes into buildings. This information has been circulating around the web for years if you think about it for a moment the obvious progression would have to be ,"well why in the hell didn't somebody do something about it!" The Bushies are already on record as lying about this(nobody could have imagined terrorists flying a plane into a building), how about Iraq, well geez they lied about that to,well what about relief efforts during and after Hurricane Katrina, oh man they lied about that to. The policies of the administration are all based on 9/11 Bush himself repeats 9/11 at least 40 times during every speech. Think about it

FLUBBER

Amidst the horrifying amount of death and destruction in New Orleans it is important for us to revisit how we arrived at this horrible outcome. With the creation of the Dept of Homeland Security and the enfolding of various government organizations into security of the homeland,FEMA for example, the priorities have changed on how these organizations act. First and foremost is determining how the "terrorists" may have or might be involved. When the "terrorist" threat is determined to be nil then the DHS can go about helping people in need such as supplying food and water to people who are too poor to escape a catagory 4 hurricane. Make no mistake the "terrorist" angle comes first that is why government funding to branches such as FEMA are gutted so more money can be diverted to the protection of the homeland. There is a masterful article floating around on the web in essence saying the present administration understands exactly what they are doing. That being, hoarding as much natural resouces as possible for as big a profit as possible before the true energy shortfalls really take a bite out of the way we live.
