The military is desperately in need of people who will shoot, and will pull the trigger because despite training normal soldiers won't pull the trigger in a shoot to kill situation. These sociopaths join the military with the hope of being allowed to shoot just about anyone. With women in the military, I would expect that women, unless they are strong enough, would be likely prey for the military's most needed folks, the sociopaths.
Our military, and every other military in history hasn't treated women of conquered lands properly. Soldiers go to war and the boys club gets out of hand. And, if soldiers don't treat women of foreign lands correctly, which has always been an embarrassment to our military, as it has been for every military in history, why should we expect our women to be treated differently, especially since the one's most likely to mistreat our lady soldiers are our military's and every militaries', for that matter, most valuable resource, the sociopaths.
So the major problem is, if you remove the sociopaths who are or would be rapists, we would be left a military afraid to shoot strangers, and L-rd knows that is a weak military.
In consequence, most women should not be allowed to serve in the military. However, perhaps as a suggestion, we might have women that want to join to be given rigorous testing to see if they have enough strength that they could most likely avoid rape if a terrible situation presents itself.
One thing that I would like to make clear is that I do not think rape is okay. Rather, in order to avoid rapes, where rape is likely to be the same curse to the military as pedophilia is to the Catholic Church, we need to take steps of precaution. I don’t believe that males should be required to be celibate, anymore than I believe women should be allowed serve in the military. So, this represents a great change of thinking of mine, where I had originally and naively thought women, especially women of average strength for a woman, should be allowed to serve in the military.

A Question For the Rabbi; Can There Be Jewishness Without Moses and Aaron? Would There Have Been Jewishness If Not For Moses and Aaron?
The question: "I doubt that there is some sort of cosmic vibration that a Jewish mother's womb gives off that makes her offspring Jewish.
It seems that the vehicle for transmission of the Jewish message is patriarchal, the way Ethics of Our Fathers seems to indicate. For example, 1:1 "Moses received the Torah from Sinai and gave it over to Joshua. Joshua gave it over to the Elders, the Elders to the Prophets, and the Prophets gave it over to the Men of the Great Assembly..."
I was told by the Rabbi that while educational tradition is passed down by the father. The essence is passed on by the mother.
"The Torah explicitly forbids intermarriage. The source is in Deuteronomy 7:3-4,
You shall not intermarry with them; you shall not give your daughter to his son, and you shall not take his daughter for your son, for he will cause your child to turn away from after Me and they will worship the gods of others." http://www.chabad.org/library/article_cdo/aid/108396/jewish/Intermarriage.htm
I personally admit to my audience. I have committed idolatry. I don't even necessarily think it was my fault, as I didn't know any better. Possibly, it was because my father instructed me in faithless science. Chemical imbalance caused me to be hyper-sexual for which my dad did turn my head to the wrong direction, suggesting masturbation is good. The Bible says however, "And, they will worship the gods of others," and that much does not describe me. I committed idolatry, but refrain from worship because I believe my idol to be horrible and that I would die if I believed in her. So, I fled. I moved much the same way where if someone has committed murder moves to a city of refuge, according to biblical command. When I committed idolatry, Hashem intervened and to His surprise I suddenly believed in the Gd of the Israel. My life has never been the same, as I have received both forgiveness and blessing from Hashem. The only hint that mom is Jewish is that she told me never to lie.

Live By Your Words, No Matter How Fantastic They Seem and Live to Be 1,000!!!
My reasoning for believing that I am the Messiah comes from sound Biblical reasoning.
"Positive Commandment 94
Fulfilling Verbal Obligations
"That which issues from your lips you shall keep and perform"—Deuteronomy 23:24.
We are commanded to carry through that which we pledge to do [or not to do]."
Strangely, the pathway back to sanity has no been to apologize, and say that I am sorry for stating that I said I am the messiah. In order to understand this, I must live by what I have said. I have no intent on being a liar. I don't even wish to be a superstar. What I believe is that me, the messiah, is a secret to this world. I don't seek crowds or popularity, merely the desire to impact this world in a positive way so that I may see this following verse fulfilled: Isaiah 65:20. "There shall no longer be from there a youth or an old man who will not fill his days, for the youth who is one hundred years old shall die, and the sinner who is one hundred years old shall be cursed. http://www.chabad.org/library/bible_cdo/aid/15996"
The people of this generation frustrate me. They say, I am 80, therefore I shall die at an old age. However, the greatest generation lived to be much older than their grandparents generation. To the peoples of earth I beseech you: There once was a time in the middle ages and the dark ages of Europe where the life expectancy was somewhere between a mere 25 to 30 years old. If you had told these people that it would be common to see folks live to be 80 they would have laughed. Certainly, all but a very small minority would have believed that living to 80 is possible. It is this way with our generation. I need for people to give up on the idea of living to a 80 and then dying. Believe me, when I say that one who dies at 80 is but a youth. Who can identify how old folks will live to? I beseech you that we too are possibly like lobsters, which are hypothetically immortal (John C. Guerin (2006). "Emerging area of aging research: long-lived animals with "negligible senescence"". Annals of the New York Academy of Sciences 1019 (1): 518–520.doi:10.1196/annals.1297.096. PMID 15247078.).

Take Hold of Your Dreams
First, we must learn to control our actions. If we don't have any control over our actions we have no control over our character. However, there is more. For Gd's blessing we learn to control our thoughts. And, when we master thought, the final battleground becomes the battle to control our dreams, for when we control our dreams, we control our destiny.

To President Barrack Obama: Don't Let Syria Use Us
Barrack Obama is coming across as rather clueless with respect to Syria. Death count should be more important than whether or not chemical weapons were used. Secondly, who cares what kind of weapons where used? Weapons are weapons, I see no reason to distinguish between the type of weapon used and the way that should relate to our foreign policy, as one weapon that causes death is as another weapon that causes death. Really, the difference is only cosmetics. Additionally, I believe that if anyone should help Syria it should be another Muslim nation, as I have no desire for us to save a bunch of people, the Syrians, and then have them hate us for it, calling us infidels.
All Syria wants to do with us is to use us. Most likely, Syria has no desire ever to help us, but the converse it that they would probably want to terrorize us, if they had the means. The Bible says to help your neighbor if they are stuck in the mud, even if they are your enemy. However, why is it that the entire would looks to us, the USA for help. We have too many of our own problems to be able to help Syria. Someone other than the USA should help Syria because we can't be the life support system of the entire world.

Sorry Need to Post Corrections:
For the past several years I had thought the Hamilton clan was Scottish Highlanders, when in fact the Hamilton Clan is a Lowland clan.

Ed Markey and Mike Sullivan for Senate 2013: Comment on Debate
After listening to Democrats and Republicans debating for Senator Kerry’s spot, I hope that either Ed Markey http://markey.house.gov/ or Mike Sullivan are elected for senate. Their competition is 2nd class for Senatorial positions.
I am mostly in favor of the democrat candidate, Markey, but would not be disappointed if Mike Sullivan won.
Watching how Sullivan's Republican candidates, his competitors, didn't bat an eyelash at the subject of gay marriage had me worried. I am in favor of allowing gay marriage, but I don't believe I could discuss the issue with such a straight face. You know the type of straight face that makes people want to laugh. When I initially wrote this as a post to Facebook, I was giggling at Sullivan's Republican opponents' candidate talk, and would like the chance to laugh in the face of his current competition.
If I had to describe the Republican debate on the subject of gay marriage, it reminded me of a scene in the movie Dirty Work (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0120654/).
In one scene of the movie, Norm MacDonald gets even with a mean employer who runs a movie theater by playing (so called) gay porn in the theater. The beginning of the scene is available here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_tXQm9K9cjQ
I wouldn’t even know what gay porn is, as I have never seen it nor do I want to. So, if you are gay and reading this, thank you for keeping the gay porn out of my search engine.
I'll never forget the tone of the words in Dirty Work, "Let's have sex with it," and thank goodness that they didn't show the porn. They just showed all the customers running out of the movie theater. That attitude of the gay porn tone of voice, which was so funny in Dirty Work is pretty much exactly the same voice these Republicans use in the debate. It is worth a giggle.
The debate is available here: (the Democrats) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f41M6LUUils
And, (the Republicans),
That would be called dry humor.

Bollocks: Scientific and Relgious
It's good to know that I am a religionist who doesn't fall into any of these [major or minor] categories [completely].
I do however credit Gd with intelligence beyond intelligence, and thus, I do believe in intelligent design. I also believe in faith healing, as well as that curses can be efficacious. Thus, I do believe prayer can work. Likewise, I also believe in karma.
It is a little bit of everything many scientific folks call quackery.
What I find is that Dawkins, like a typical person with a doctoral degree has such desire to make dumb folk act like parrots. The doctoral degree is absurd because doctors present themselves as gods, meaning that Dawkins and other doctoral folk are taught to take the necessary measures to make regular folk submit to their way of life.
Science has a lot of bollocks too. [Many] scientists publish stuff in lesser journals in order to avoid greater scrutiny that would come from publishing in a better journal. And, this science bollocks is done just to get funding.
What about science bollocks? Peer reviews by people that haven't repeated the experiments, but somehow feel they know enough to comment on them, though the comments aren't recorded. What about the prevalence of admission that if someone finds a journal article he or she can't repeat, then they blame it on themselves, not even bothering to make note? Why aren't records kept on who is able to repeat experiment? Why is it such that if other people can't repeat the science bollocks a record is not kept of the amount of times the information in a journal article has failed to work?
If peer review isn't how I suggest it is, then please inform me. Peer review is done by your peers in science, but that is all. It is not a review of people that have repeated the experiment. In fact, many times the experiment is not even done, but it is published as if it were done. If it doesn't have error bars, then chances are it is just a theory, which someone may or may not be able to make a fact. Please inform me about the way science peer review works if you think I don't have it right.

Nicotene, Caffeine, Taurine, ect. Soda Pop
It is completely
beyond me why I have yet to hear of a soda pop that uses nicotene. One would
think that this method for adminstering nicotene would not only be affective,
but also save lives. That is, I want to make
beverages with nicotene in them.
Airplane flights would probably be much more pleasant for a good many of smokers. In fact, these drinks would probably help a good many of people quit smoking. Additionally, drinking beverages with nicotine in them would probably extend a good many of peoples lives. For example, they already know from research that people are more likely to live to be a 100 years old if they smoke, despite the fact that smoking should generally be thought of as a killer for the vast majority of people.

Do Animals Think That We Are Gds?
In a chatroom on AOL, a friend of mine posited that animals
think we are Gds because they treat us like we are Gds. I recently asked my wife the same question,
and got a different answer. She thought
that animals are completely unable to conceive of the idea of Gd. That much I imagine is probably true. A creature needs to have a certain amount of
smarts to conceive of activities worthy of a deity.
Frankly, I don’t think most humans are able to conceive of
the idea of Gd. Most humans are either
to dumb, idol worshippers for the sake of popularity, and/or smart people jaded
by their own abilities.
1.
With respect to people that just aren’t smart
enough to faith, it is not that I do not believe that there vessel, meaning their
body, is not permeated by holy Light, but it is that they simply do not have an
IQ high enough.
That might sound small minded, but I have
had a professional IQ assessment of my intelligence, and more than just knowing
that my intelligence is superior, I know that others must not have been able to
give correct answers to questions I thought most people knew the answers to. Thus, because I know these answers, I am
baffled by the prevalence of those unable to answer such simple questions, and
that gives me the idea that animals, and some humans may not be intelligent
enough to conceive of the idea of a Gd.
However, that is not the only command, as I will show that there are
commands other than faith below.
2.
With respect to popularity and idol worshipping,
this is something that Christians do.
Christianity suffers from the belief that Jesus is Gd (heaven forefend
that this is the case, but nonetheless it is the case). These idol worshippers are living long lives
though because outside of idol worship many of them are good people, and Hashem
only knows their heart when He visits them on their death bed, as it is said,
“Gd visits the sick.”
I, myself, feel lucky that Hashem visited
me when I was very sick, and not only that, I got hope that my condition could
improve and it did. I believe Hashem
visits the sick because only when one is so weak and humble is he or she ready
to receive the message of the L-rd in its fullest sense. That is, I would expect most people would
take such information lightly had these visits come during others times.
3. With respect to intellectuals and the
intelligent, and here mainly I am speaking of doctors, especially those whom
are atheists, it only makes sense to me that because they heal and experiment
with their very hands, as if Gd did not exist
that they actually come to believe the existence of Gd is not
necessary. This is because it is said to
act as if Gd did not exist when healing, and not to send someone on their way
with only a prayer if at all possible.
So coming back to cats.
I like feral cats. I like to
heal, and by their actions feral cats show that they believe in a cruel harsh
existence far different from the well taken care of domestic cat. Don’t get me wrong, it is not that I don’t
like domesticated cats. I hope that
there is a warm and loving home for every domesticated cat, and I own two of
them, and they, these kitties, continue giving and have given so much love. However, there are many cats out there that
only know of a cruel existence, and though perhaps there is no hope for the
adult feral cats, meaning that love can’t pierce into their hardened hearts, I
have hope for feral kittens.
Sometimes a feral kitten can be taken in and shown that life
doesn’t have to be quite so hard. In
that way, when cats are able to give up their predatory diet of blood and guts,
in favor of more humanely slaughtered meat, in fact dry food, as in Leviticus
it is a blessing to eat old produce (Leviticus 26), it is as if they have chosen Hashem’s way,
where lovingkindness is central to the harmony, and foundation of seeing the
less cruel side of nature. That is, we
as humans, like cats, especially those who take Torah seriously are able to
live idealistic lives, and it is only because we have chosen and continue to
choose the way of Hashem.
Do cats believe that we are Gods again...I can only ponder that.

“ADHD, autism, schizophrenia, and other major disorders may be more related than we thought.”
http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2013/02/28/psychiatric-disorders-genetics-mental-disorder-autism-adhd_n_2781772.html
My extended commentary to a Huffington Post article on the subject of the title.
I knew it all along. Why? Because I had them all. As a youngster, I had ADHD, but undiagnosed though every knew I had it. Then, I had a psychotic episode where I was told that my illness would only get worse. That was proven wrong by going not the holistic route, but the comprehensive route, where my family had to dig deep into their pockets in order that I would get healed. The treatment I receive comes by licensed practitioners at Comprehensive Psychiatric Resources in Waltham, MA.
The separation of these diagnosis is often according to age more than anything else. Doctors are much likely to play the part of wishful thinking by diagnosing a kid with ADHD rather than make a mistake and give a diagnosis that has more stigma attached to it.
If it’s a kid, then they call it autism or ADHD. Why? Everyone has a lot of hope that a cure will come for autism. And, frankly it is practically in style to get a diagnosis of ADHD. The problem is that autistic children become schizophrenic adults. That is when they get a, “You are beyond all hope diagnosis,” which is not entirely true if your doctor uses comprehensive resources like the Great Plains Laboratory.
These folks are often able to get their diagnosis reduced to bipolar on a gluten and casein free diet, as I did, but there is no cure for the damage that ten or twenty years of opiates can deal to a young developing mind. Also, I recommend doing the test to see if a gluten free and/or casein free diet is necessary for you or your loved one. Lot’s of people go gluten free and just because they eat healthier, they report a false positive that removing gluten is helpful. That test can hopefully be administered to you through the Great Plains Laboratory that also requires that you work with a licensed practitioner in order to get the test. It will cost you an arm and a leg, and your health care almost certainly won’t cover it, but it can mean the difference between life and death.
I, myself, am suspicious of the shots. Mainly, vaccines affect the immune system, and many of these disorders are traceable to the immune system. Thus, the thing that we are observing that has reaction to the immune system may go back as far as the appearance of narcolepsy, as a separate diagnosable disorder, where it was previously unknown to exist, and where these folks are observed to exhibit narcotic symptoms, that appear as if one has consumed opiates. It is that there are certain plants that contain gluten, and milk that contains casein, that these two proteins have opiate derivatives, which affect some people but not others. The fact is that the gut of someone with the illness in question, be it ADHD, autism, schizophrenia, narcolepsy, or chronic fatigue, etc, is fundamentally different. The gut of people with these illnesses digests gluten and casein different from the majority of the population.
With respect to the doctor, Dr. Andrew Wakefield's, who lost his job for putting out a journal article for the above mentioned information. If the guy was actually a crook, out to do harm, he would have most likely not said something so profound as a link between vaccines and autism. That statement is so audacious that he would have had to have been a fool to make it and be trying to tell us all a lie. He would have been debunking the goodness of vaccines, and vaccines have long been considered perhaps in the 10 top medicinal inventions ever. Folks this guy was a doctor, and not a dummy. Only a dummy would make up such a lie as to correlate vaccines and autism, and frankly there is not a chance in hell that a doctor would have said that particular thing if it was in fact untrue.

WTF??? Does AT&T Think That I Want To Pay More for Data Sometimes?
I just looked at my AT&T Go Phone
message that just informed me that I have no money left. That is because I
didn’t buy a bigger data package. However, it would have been nice if they had
warned me to buy a data package, rather than run up the dough on my phone, as if
I wanted to pay more money by not having a data package.
So hi! Let me introduce myself. I was a happy AT&T customer because Verizon screwed me for data to a much greater extent than AT&T did though nonetheless both companies have screwed me before.
I am a somewhat happy user of a Go Phone now, so that getting screwed to the extent of $1,000 over data with Verizon will never happen again because when my card runs out of money, that’s it. If I was with Verizon under contract, it could have been worse. Last I knew, you could spend yourself into oblivion with Verizon data without even a warning.
At least a warning would have helped me with AT&T. Now, I am without my phone because I was watching a long video on it that ate up all my data. AT&T courteously stopped me when I had spent my last cent, but they didn’t courteously tell me that my data plan had run out. I would have liked the option to buy a new plan when the last one ran out, such that I don’t have to wait until my next check to have a phone to use.
Like Verizon, AT&T is doing bad business. When I worked at McDonald’s if you ordered everything that comes with a value meal, it was automatic for us to make it at the value meal price. Why? It is good business to help the customer get deals. That makes your business at least seem friendly. In the same way, when your data package ends, it should automatically deny you use of data unless you purchase a data package, even if it is an emergency package that costs say, $1 for 1MB, because seriously AT&T who actually wants to spend more money on data by not buying a data package, especially without being asked!!!???

A Looming Potential Disaster to the Credibility of Science
I think oxidation is a major factor when it comes to dating fossils. When dating something, oxidation is not included in the factor, because in theory these fields have yet to be united in a theory of everything, so to say. You can't tell me that the sun beating down on some rocks causes them to decay, and that is not someway tied to the their radioactive date. Radioactivity is only part of the picture, and it most certainly reasonable to believe that oxidation plays a role in radioactivity.
I have written on this subject years ago, but I never got much of a response. So, now I'll give it another try.

Why Christianity Is Wrong
"Exodus 33:20. And He said, 'You will not be able to see My face, for man shall not see Me and live.'"
Then, why do people believe that Jesus is God? Christianity is so absurd. By definition in the 10 commandments, if you believe something that is an earthen vessal, even a human is a Gd, then that is idolatry.
The same is true with me. I might claim to be a Messiah, but I am certainly not a God. God is in me as he is in everthing in this creation, permeating it in conceiled omnipresence, as we can't see Gd. Please don't worship me. And, it is true that I believe Gd has spoken to me. God's words to me where, "I am punishing you." So, I said, "Why are you punishing me?" And, Gd's reply was, "I get everyone sooner or later." And, yet I do know that this qualifies as a hallucination, yet I trust that it was real and Gd spoke to me.

TMI: On The Feb. 2013 Blizzard Nemo - Soaked In Pee In The Cold and Dark Night
I confess on the blizzard Nemo Feb 2013. The power outage could not have gotten any worse for me the first night. I woke up in the middle of it, and me being a guy, I figured I could pee in the dark. You know, I've done it a million times in the light, so I should be able to do it blind-folded even. Well folks, I missed the pot, and the spray came right back at me. I took off my shirt and wiped myself with it, and I wiped the floor with it, but it wasn't like I could take a shower in the dark! I would have fallen on my ass if I tried that. So, defeated, having tried to stand and pee in the dark, I went back to bed on the couch. Yuck! Next time, when the power is out at night, I am going to sit to pee. Thank Gd the power is back and I can take a shower lighted shower with hot water.
*** Beyond Outrage by Robert B. Reich – Of Reich’s Works That I Have Read It’s Comparatively Subpar
The first point I would like to make takes up a third of
this book. It is on what Reich has
called Radcons in another book. I think
Reich has said enough about Radical Conservatives by now. The Radcons are no longer a threat. However, I agree that regression is a threat.
My generation has rejected the Radcon way of life in favor
of having a more liberal lifestyle. It
is not radical conservatives Reich is afraid of, but those who wish to be
fiscally responsible, and these folks may be either Democrat or Republican.
I, myself, have already stated that I believe Reich is wrong
about what to do. Reich wants to
continue running trillion plus dollar deficits until the economy gets
better. However, to me that seems
stupid. We may get a good run at having
a good economy, but not enough to sustain an economy recovery. That is, 8 years is not enough time to put us
in the positive, and chances are that partly because of term limits, we won’t
be able to sustain enough of a recovery.
Perhaps, getting rid of term limits is something we should consider, but
I think that we would just go for another 4 years of Obama mediocrity.
Some presidential leaders to look for come 2016 are Hillary
Clinton, Deval Patrich, and even Reich himself.
It has baffled me why Reich hasn’t run for office.
The first part of this book, “The Rigged Game,” I think most
folks already know enough about. Most
folks are angry at Wall Street and the rich, and want government to work for
them doing things such as closing loopholes.
The word is out. And, folks are
right, the game is rigged.
One area I flat out disagree with Reich is that I don’t
think giving more money to the poor is a good answer. In my opinion, folks need to find out how to
make their money, the money they already don’t have because they are broke
because they have already spent it, work for them, such that the poor can be
empowered. Thus, the answer is for folks
to be more careful when spending, rather than to toss out more handouts. These actions are going to take a concerted
effort, and America is going to need to find some fiscally conservative
cheerleader that can see to it that folks are able to make their money go as
far as it can possible go.
One suggestion I might make is that I often shop at
Amazon.com, if a local store doesn’t have what I need, or if the local is
charging an unreasonable price. There
are lots of good bargains on Amazon.com, especially if you are willing to put
up with having used goods. Also, there
are other stores like BJ’s where if you are careful with your money, it will
stretch further.
The major problem of this book is that it assumes that if
you put more money in the hands of average Americans, then good things will
happen, but that isn’t true. The fact is
that most Americans are clueless when it comes to math, such that if you gave
them more money, they wouldn’t have a clue how to spend the money wisely. Therefore, the problem is not that the poor
and middle class don’t earn enough, but the problem is that CEO pay is
ludicrously high. The reason middle and
lower class pay is good is because if we raise it, it would simply cause more
inflation, and folks would have a much more difficult time determining whether
or not they should purchase something based upon its price.
I do agree with the author that there are certain things we
should be outraged at, such as the buying of political offices. I agree that CEO pay is out of control. I agree that we need to close tax loopholes,
such taxing what is now considered to be capital gains. Reich does make a lot of good points, but I
felt that his books Supercapitalism, and Aftershock were much better.
Lastly, the last third of the book seems both naïve and
correct. In order to have a movement
that will make change, we have to get off of our couches. However, the USA suffers for this as we
Americans are couch potatoes. Our
ancestors would have bound together to fight against our problems, but for us,
we are not a very cohesive nation. That
is, too often we relate to each other via the internet. That is another subject that Reich might do
well to include if he writes another book.
**** Killing Is My Business and Business Is Good by Megadeth – Awesome and Totally Old School
The reason I subtracted a star and gave this album 4 stars is that I don’t want anyone to be disappointed with the quality of the sound of this album. This album was made on a shoestring budget, and as in the way that there isn’t so much need to buy old jazz albums because the newer ones are higher quality, so it is that way with Killing Is My Business. As for me, I like the old school production.
As for the music on this album. It is some of the best thrash/speed metal out there. It really is a good album. This is the type of album that when someone says to me, “I think metal blows,” and I say to them, “Well if you think it’s so bad, then why don’t you try playing it?” I have never heard anyone complain to me about an album like this one when I said something like, “I will listen to your criticism, if and only if, you can play it,” because truly this album is a work of art, and it is not easily repeatable, as it is with all great works of art.

The USA's Junk Yard Economy
Every year the Obama administration has been in office, the
deficit, roughly a trillion dollars, has been an economic stimulus. That is the
yearly deficit is the yearly stimulus. Folks does this seem to be working? Last
I knew prices, were going up. Can't we see, as a nation that there has to be a
better way.
Now, I am
not about having the poor and the middle class foot the bill. Why? Because the government doesn't protect the money of the poor
and middle class. Why? Because they don't have any money to protect. Rather, the
5% of us that the government works for, it is these folks that the government
who should foot the bill. So, it is not as if I am demanding the money from the
rich to go to the poor, but rather I am demanding that the rich pay for their
own government.
I'll also add that when I see a lot of average people, I
would collectively call them a bunch of junk. They don't deserve to have more
money because they will just squander it on booze, and drugs, and likewise
prices will go up. I don't have much hope for average folks, and by that I don't
mean poor, middle class or even rich folks. What I am talking about is that the
bar has been lowered for the people and that the very morals that folks are
participating in are low class. No I am not homophobic, anti abortion, etc, but
what I see is that America has turned to drugs, such as marijuana that when used
is proven to result in poor judgment, and a general breakdown of the family as a
sacred unit of society.

A Reason for Gun Control in Populated Areas - The Pigsty Effect
There is something also worthy of mention; what I call the pig sty effect. Most of the nations with stricter gun control in Europe also have a greater population density, such that this pig sty effect is of a greater worry than it is in most of the USA. The same is true in New York, where guns are more restricted than elsewhere in the States.
Basically, from a biological standpoint, pigs are very similar to humans. Pigs in a sty behave far worse than if they were not. In the sty, they fight a lot, eat their own poop, etc. I also have a theory; that a place like New York is also likely to become a sty. Ghettos are essentially cities gone wrong. Ghettos might as well have no gun control at all.
In some parts of NYC that means due to guns the life expectency of males is only about 18yrs old, meaning this life expectancy is due to the pig sty effect. We can't even get the guns out of these ultra-poor areas because it is the children who are the one's pulling the trigger, and children with guns is a very scary idea.
A good movie about this idea, is City of God.
Thus, to respect population as a trigger for gun related violence, gun control should not even be controlled at the state level, but at the district level, especially so that we can keep guns out of the hands of people in more populated areas, such as cities.

Is ruling in the genes? All presidents bar one are directly descended from a medieval English king

Is ruling in the genes? All presidents bar one are directly descended from a medieval English king
- 12-year-old girl created family tree linking 42 of 43 U.S. presidents to King John of England, who signed Magna Carta in 1215
- Only eighth president, Martin Van Buren, was not related to John
PUBLISHED: 20:14 EST, 4 August 2012 | UPDATED: 23:58 EST, 4 August 2012
What do Barack Obama, Thomas Jefferson, George W. Bush and the other past U.S. presidents have in common? Besides holding the coveted title of commander-in-chief, it appears that all of them but one are cousins.
The remarkable discovery was made by 12-year-old BridgeAnne d’Avignon, of Salinas, California, who created a ground-breaking family tree that connected 42 of 43 U.S. presidents to one common, and rather unexpected, ancestor: King John of England.

Budding genealogist: BridgeAnne d'Avignon created a family tree that connected 42 of 43 U.S. presidents to one common ancestor

History detective: It took d'Avignon several months to search through more than 500,000 names and trace the male and female lineages of American leaders
King John, also known as John ‘Lackland’, is renowned for signing the Magna Carta in 1215, which limited the monarch’s power and helped form the British Parliament.
John’s other claim to fame, or infamy, is that he was depicted as the villain in the Robin Hood tales.

Common grandfather: The 12-year-old traced the lineages of nearly all of the U.S. presidents to King John, the signer of the Magna Carta
D’Avignon, a seventh-grader at Monte Vista Christian School in Watsonville, started the project in hopes of tracing back her own bloodline in France, but somewhere along the way she decided to take her genealogical quest to the highest level.
In order to create the family tree, the 12-year-old spent months scouring through over 500,000 names in search of the ‘presidential Adam.’
Her 80-year-old grandfather, who has been tracing roots for nearly six decades, helped her make the presidential links.
D’Avignon started with the first U.S. president, George Washington, she traced both the male and female family lines to make the connection.
Prior to d’Avignon’s discovery, genealogists were only able to link 22 families of presidents, likely because they only focused on male bloodlines.
The only former commander-in-chief not linked to King John is the eighth president, Martin Van Buren, who had Dutch roots.
The teen also found out that she is the 18th cousin of President Obama. She even wrote to her new-found relative a letter to share her findings with him.
So far, however, d’Avignon said she received only a generic response from the White House.

Odd man out: Only the eighth president of the U.S., Martin Van Buren, was not related to King John because he had Dutch roots
D’Avignon created a poster of the presidential family tree and is selling signed copies of it in hopes of raising enough money to make a trip to Washington DC. The middle-school student says her goal is to hand-deliver a replica of her family tree to the president.
'I think we just all go back somewhere; it’s just a matter of proving it,' she said.

Powerful relative: D'Avignon discovered that she is the 18th cousin of President Obama

A Quick Explanation of My Vote: If any should wonder about my thoughts on the Tuesday Election.
1. At the Federal level, I am voting Republican or Independent. This is mainly to help see that we do not put a President with a legislature that is not his party. President Obama has demonstrated inability to work as a bipartisan, which is necessary if we are going to tackle the greatest issue that faces our country in this age, the deficit and debt of the USA!
2. At the State level, I am voting Democrat. In general, I am thrilled as to how things are going in my state. In fact, I believe MA to be the best and greatest state in the union, and we are mostly Democrat. We are an island of greatness in America. I want to continue that tradition by voting for incumbents.
3. This is not to say that voting Democrat is the right thing to do at the state level for other states. Thus, it is such that I believe Republican leadership might be what is best for other states, and I bless them that their voters choice the best choice for their respective state.

Honest Prayers for the Victory of Mitt Romney
I'm praying for the victory of Mitt Romney. I won't say that I think he is the perfect candidate. For example, I don't like his running mate, all the while realising that his choice is wise. I have a general distaste for religious conservatives.
I am sold on Mitt Romney because he has proved that he is qualified as a leader who achieved getting good legislation passed when in government he was very much in the minority as a Republican. My wife pointed out to me that the differences between Republicans and Democrats have a greater amount of polarization at the federal level. However, for example, Romney has talked clean coal for example shows that he is able to think beyond the narrow confines of the state of his govenorship.
My worst fear of Romney has dissipated, and that was that he would be a trigger happy Republican. In the 3rd, and last debate, that Romney was constantly trying to shift his focus to the economy rather than talking about what countries he would attack demonstrates that once again, Romney is the candidate of evolution, that is, he evolves to what America needs as time changes. He is my choice because his changes are the right changes.

Elections 2012: I Can’t Believe That There Is A Question as to Whether or Not We Need New Leadership
It’s practically unbelievable that there is even a contest
for the 2012 election. America is in the mud, and everyone seems to be worried
that Mitt Romney will take away all the precious program funding and leave us to
hang out to dry. I do agree that Mitt Romney wants cuts. And, I can only pray
that they will be sensible cuts that will eventually balance the federal
deficit. However, what we have in office as I am writing this blog is a
President that has proven himself to be completely ineffective at making any
headway in reducing the federal deficit. That amounts to this, America is
either going to have to take its cuts, which I liken to taking needed
medication, or else we will go on inflating the dollar as a sick nation on a
crash course with oblivion.
Ladies and gentlemen, I implore you, look at the evidence.
President Obama has not been able to make even a dent in the deficit in 4 years,
and many people want to reelect him. The evidence is that if he since he has
not made any headway, that if we give him another 4 years, it is only reasonable
that we can expect the deficit to remain unchanged, while trillions of dollars
are once again heaped onto the federal debt.
America needs change, and the only way we are going to get
it is if in the next four years we balance the federal deficit. Otherwise, we
can only expect the devaluation of the dollar. Yes, there are consequences to
running big deficits and the primary one is inflation of the dollar. If you
don’t know what that means, it means things get more expensive though you do not
have necessary money to pay for them. That is, with inflation, your money won’t
stretch as far, and while you might have programs, the inertia of these programs
to adapt to fiscal change is also very likely to leave those whom are
unfortunate without anyway. They can’t be saved. Unless Obama does a 180 and
suddenly starts putting forth potential ideas that are bipartisan to balance the
budget America’s future will remain bleak. So, let’s put a stop to the Obama
bin Laden’s insane fiscal policies.
First, and foremost, if we give someone who has already
failed at this another chance, as in another chance to be able to work in a
bipartisan House and Senate in order to accomplish something for good we as
Americans are headed more and more into the direction of becoming indentured
servants, for future generations.
When I elected President Obama, I had two things in mind.
I wanted national healthcare, and I wanted a balanced federal budget. I
believed then, and I still believe now that those two things are capable of
being accomplished. Medication and medicine pays for itself, and I believed
that the Democrats could make headway in balancing the debt because I believed
in President Barrack Obama’s ability to fall in the steps former President Bill
Clinton during his term in office. However, I was wrong. Barrack Obama wasn’t
the answer, and I still think John McCain was not the correct answer either.
Hopefully, though it may take some financial responsibility, the voters will
elect someone new, and not someone who has done nothing on the most important
issue we face in the last 4 years.
