bailout deal

2008-09-28T08:55:00.003-04:00

The bailout deal is the largest con in world history. Money does not evaporate, in our current case it has been stolen. Now comes the con, after stealing 800 billion from the American middle class the wealthy non productive financial planning super spending upper-class consumers want to get their hands on another 800 billion dollars for free. Let the large corporations collapse, let small business companies take root and replace them. these small companies are what made this country great, successful, leading in the world economies and social values. The Ronald Reagan administration was the beginning of Government allowing the snowball purchasing of company after company to the current state we are in. We can not allow the continuation of large corporations holding our economy hostage by there shear size . Stop the bailout and let the large corporations fold, the pain and suffering will be long and hard but the consequences are worse, it will be the end of democracy and American ideals that have been the mainstay for the free world. We need to get back to being productive creating a product, to a GNP not a GDP. The industry of trading money is for gamblers, the industry of products is for people willing to work for what they get, we need to be willing once again, I just hope there are enough of us who still know what that means.

Barack Obama

In the hope we will avert a sure collision course with disaster, of mammoth proportions, I am endorsing Barack Obama.

Gasoline prices

2008-07-30T10:01:00.004-04:00

If the price of oil by the barrel is being driven by futures trading, not supply and demand, or not by source nation pricing, then why are we discussing the need to drill for oil in Alaska and the Gulf? the price will not come down, but the environment will be in jeopardy of a large scale catastrophe. Once again we have our government engaged in propaganda to falsely scare the population into agreeing with concepts introduced solely on the merits of large corporate profits, NOT based on the well being of the peoples, or environments we hope to occupy for EVER.

The Republican Senator from Alaska has been accused of false declarations concerning gifts by oil companies to him, he is fighting the claim believing there is enough wiggle room in the laws for his defense to win and justify his "lack of knowledge" of any wrong doing. When our elected officials break the law because they believe the interpretation of the law in a court room can be manipulated enough to give a reason of doubt, enough for acquittal, when this happens our democracy becomes a feudal system. We need self governing, we need to renew the ideology that we succeed when we all succeed, fairly.

The wind

2008-07-15T09:07:00.003-04:00

Its blowing oddly

Due in large part to religion, the United States voted in President Bush for two terms. Some of us knew he would do far more damage to our country, in fact the worlds stability than terrorists. Ironic.

2012

The Stock Market and Wall Street

2008-07-13T07:35:00.005-04:00

The days of the stock market are over, The Market originally was created for investing in a business with the intent of making money off of the business when it performs as you hope, productively within the economy, creating jobs and financial strength. What has happened? the answer is greed and gambling took the place of production and hard work. Our counties biggest investment became investment itself, making money not from a product but from gambling, from the trading of money itself. This path to eventual failure has been taken for the past 25 years and now it can go no further, our Government has chosen to become a business itself hoping to make money off a false economy which like the national debt seems to be something the future will have to fix. The future is here, It is time to elect people who understand life is a hard earned road to prosperity, with many desires left unfulfilled. The days of getting anything one wants just because they want it, immediately, are over. In fact the pain we will endure to right this ship, will be years and years of going without. It is time again to concentrate on conservation not consumption.

Cluster Bombs

2008-07-09T12:15:00.003-04:00

The selling of weapons by countries for profit means the cycle of endless warfare and violence will not stop. The Large economy countries such as The United States and Russia let greed stand in the way of peace. Profit by Government leads to social, political and economical injustices for all peoples who find themselves in the path of power hungry politicians.

a. global warming will see reduced emissions by 2050. - to late

b. cluster bombs will be "better designed" by 2015. - now that makes me feel better.

c. petroleum from corn uses more petroleum to grow the corn than what its worth. - senseless

d. Tax breaks may be coming for having more children. - how about tax incentives for fewer children?

and on and on it goes.

Gasoline prices

2008-06-17T08:40:00.003-04:00

Don't believe increasing the volume of oil production per day will lower the price per barrel! Our Government and corporations have sold the future of America down the river by allowing the whole sale sell off and mergers of American companies. Now the businesses have left for lower wage workers to keep their products affordable, the layoffs due to this and loss of small business have created a short fall in our gross national product. America is now in a position where it cannot afford to buy what it makes, and neither can our trade partners, so now we import cheap sometimes lethal products, produce little ourselves, the dollar is in a free fall, oil rises in direct response to the value of the dollar and many including the leaders of this once great nation lie through there teeth and tell us all, its the production, its the Saudis, its something other than what it is!
We need to stop the buy outs and hope that small business, that which made this country great, small farms, people, not corporations can regain the status we all enjoyed when being an American was a dream of promise, something we all earned.

The beauty of love cannot be denied. it is the most beautiful of all life's ballets.

Death Mask of Democracy

2008-06-10T08:07:00.005-04:00

Do you think Democracy is dead? Is it time to nationalize the oil companies here in the states which supply us with 85% of our oil and still screw us. and health care and education? Is pure democracy dead, ruined by greedy people and corporations who wouldn't see Democracy only survives through self governing? The odd thing is, the people who claim to defend it the most, patriotically, may just be the main force behind its sped up collapse.

Icon

2008-05-31T07:05:00.003-04:00

Icons, symbols, meaning, expression not abstract, art painter, thought provoker, figurative symbols, color forms lines content. full time explorer of creation, part time artist of paint. philosophy is something like this, Life like an ocean wave is in part a never ending sea of dimensions, one moment we are the wave, it passes through until the next fills its spot. The water in a wave is not what travels, it is that which passes through in timeless movement of what is always about to be.

Margin of hope

There is always hope, that some day we concentrate on our future.

World Hunger

2008-04-26T07:45:00.002-04:00

I see clearly

too many dirty feet

standing on worn out soil

no spaces between

subjects briefly touched so as to not disturb the dinner parties.

it is not about hunger, or oil, or war, or money. It is about too many people. It is about a planet and its dominant species which has lost. and I for one am not sure there is enough time left to win.

soul

2008-04-21T07:46:00.001-04:00

50 years of constant wonder and i have the reality of "soul". Its not a physical property, not a time, not a place, not even a "spirit". ITS A DIMENSION. since we can't even figure out "our own" no wonder we can't see how many "our own" consists of. its the first and that means, mine is yours and yours is mine, the great books were close. deja vu.

Future sense

2008-04-13T14:17:00.001-04:00

Understand this, we arn't even sure how to understand our perspective from one dimension. Imagine being able to understand or participate in multiple dimensions.

check for a pulse

2008-03-30T09:50:00.002-04:00

We create, we take a space and fit into it. When we can no longer fit, when we lose sight of creation, of our ability to create, then we have no more choice than the wind in its path. Like an accident on the highway stops traffic as the drivers rubber neck the scene, life on earth has become one long rubber-necking episode as we watch our biosphere implode beneath our souls. It is time to see we are nothing more than a simple particle happening to find a chance, a particle clinging to the biology of earth, of our bodies. It is time to understand the needs not of the body but of time, of life as a particle in time, of a particle in a borrowed moment of expression and creation clinging to the walls of the biology on earth. We can follow the forms which preceded our moment or, we can create a island in the stream of time by which expression and creation flows eternally, passing from form to form in realizing self. We need to understand the delicate urgency in the cycle of change in our biosphere and become the directors in its unparalleled journey of time.

The present does not exist but for one moment, and that moment is never seen. For our time the present does not exist, the beauty is time becomes wholly what is always about to be.
