SAD

I feel sad for America. Really sad. Especially for the people who profess to be Christians and yet they follow the teachings of the ultra capitalists. We used to be so much better than this.


I was raised Christian (Catholic) and went to Catholic schools for 12 years of my education. And there I learned about Jesus and his teachings. He seemed, to me, to be a humble, un-imposing, likable guy who was loved by many. And he loved many. He hung out with the whores and the lepers and the poor and the folks out on the fringes of life. As a matter of fact, I can’t remember anyone that Jesus didn’t love. Seemed like the type of guy that I’d like to hang out with.


I do remember some of the things that Jesus didn’t love, though. He really didn’t love when people wouldn’t help others. He talked about it a lot. He thought that all people had an obligation to help those who were less fortunate than you were. He said that was the route to heaven.
Boy, oh boy, did he not love the rich. He explained how difficult it would be for them to get into heaven, presumably because of the fact that they shirked their obligation to help those less fortunate then them, which would have been basically everyone. He singled out the rich guys who made a big display of praying in public, (everyone look at how holy I am, I’m a member of the C Street club!) because he knew that the one’s who carried on like that where the ones who had no respect for the lord. It was all for show. The real work of the lord is in the doing, the helping.


The only time Jesus went nuts was when the money changers (you know like the banks today) used the temple to conduct business, thereby tacitly implying that your doing business with them, was linked to religion. He sort of made the case that it was not.
The one thing, the biggest thing, he hated was greed. How can I explain greed? The love of money (profit) over people.


For example, let’s say, your job is a lifeguard at a pool. You’re supposed to watch over the people swimming and help them. In return you get paid from the fees that the people pay to use the pool. They agreed, you agreed, everyone’s happy. Now, this company approaches you that has developed a cool new drowning resuscitation machine, that can bring people back from the dead once they’ve drowned for an additional cost direct to the person treated. It is a great boon to the people who accidentally drown. This company approaches you and says, “In order for us to make a profit and to be able to charge more for the use of our machine, we have to demonstrate how it works on a certain number of occasions. The more the better. All you have to do, is not do your job quite so well for a period of time, allowing more “accidental” drownings. We’ll pay you a hundred thousand bucks.”


This offer is an example of Greed. Accepting this offer is an example of Greed. This is how America has been run ever since Regan. See Big Pharma. See Big Oil. See Halliburton. See United Healthcare. See Wall Street. See Congress. Don’t be expecting to see any of these people in heaven.

Random stupid jokes

can't even think the word "Kundalini" without giggling inside a little. It sounds like pasta in the shape of...?

Why don't the homeless use those shopping carts with the little vehicle on the front for kids, that way they'd have a car to sleep in.

I'm trying to make sense of it all. All the people who claimed they were the "Good" guys and were telling the truth, were lying. All the people who wanted to know the truth were lying, but it turns out really telling the truth. I just want someone to go to jail. George? You get 24 hour security in a federal facility. Dick? It's LIKE an undisclosed location.

W just wanted to PLAY spy and soldier and president and decider guy and big banker, but he didn't feel like cleaning up his toys when he was done playing. See? This is why mom tells you to clean up after yourself. (Well, not Bush's mom. Why should she trouble her beautiful mind?)

Random Thoughts (I still get em')

I suppose that if I keep paying attention to all the bu11sh1t, I'll become just as crazy as the rest of the world. Meditate. "Be still and know that I am god"

The republic(an)s currently hold places 1-10 in the Pillsbury Whacko-Off. When the going gets weird, the weird turn pro. (HSThompson)

Astronomy students can learn from Palin. Supernova, implosion, Black Hole.

Happy Independence Day! Remember the freedoms our brave soldiers fought for. The freedom for Goldman Sachs to rob the American people blind. (Or substitute Chase, Haliburton, Universal Health, Big Pharma, etc.) The freedom to have ALL of your corespondence monitored, and the freedom to start wars for no reason and torture people while telling the rest of the world what to do because we're moral. Peace

Wow. The future of the Republic Party has: Gone hiking in the bush in Argentina and gone running for the Mt McKinleys, to affect change from "outside the government". All that's left are Newt, McCain (where's my pudding), Gingrich, that Orange Guy, and Napolean Dynamite Cantor. Maybe Jindal will win on a game show and turn it all around.

One person can make a difference. One thought can make a difference. So, the thought of the day: Stop thinking once in a while.

Watching O'Reilly Rave about Al Franken is like sitting in the front row at a Gallagher show. When his head blows up,you'd better be covered by a tarp so you're not all covered with sh*t.

7 out of 10 republicans STILL say they'd vote for Sarah Palin in 2012. There are still 10 republicans?

When I took my dogs out this morning, they walk up to me and offer their necks for me to put on their leashes.Most natural thing in the world. I had a sad thought. Was (is) this the way people are conditioned in slavery? Happy thought: you can't chain anyone's mind. Peace

Thursday is Prince Spaghetti day and time to bike to work. Thinking about quitting my job to teach others not to be quitters, then off to hike the Appalgentinian trail to teach family values, then maybe off to a men's room in an airport to s*ck a d*ck to show my disapproval of the Gay-lifestyle, then some Prayin' to cure the "Racism" of MJ and Sotomayor. Then the sleep of the righteous.

Okay, I tried to ignore the stupid people and they didn't go away. Now What?
