About Me

I'm a writer. I have a few fiction projects, but mostly write about philosophy, theology, and sociology. I'm a vegetarian. I have 3 grown kids.

Honestly, everyone I'd like to meet is dead (except, of course, God). Mother Theresa, Ghandi, Srila Prabhupada, Emerson, Thoreau, Tolstoy, Einstein, Mozart, Dickens, Alexander the Great, Ramses II, and Socrates.

The few living people that might be interesting to talk to are Stephen Hawkins, Ravi Shankar, and Roger Waters.

I love to hike, but only if I can call it "walking". Hiking sounds like too much work. I play keyboards. I also love looking for rocks. I don't keep any of them, I just like looking at them. Hmm, what else....Oh, I love playing Euchre.

Love to read just about anything except romance novels and sports. I love to discuss philosophy, science, theology, and sociology. Any intellectual discussion captures my interest. I'm interested in the science of the soul, and self-realization, and God consciousness.

Pink Floyd, Roger Waters, Elton John, Kenny Wayne Shepard, Jon Anderson, Martin Page, Peter Gabriel, Genesis (but not Phil Collins solo), Norah Jones, Tracy Chapman, Joe Satriani, Al Demiola, Alanis Morrisett, Pearl Jam. Too many to list, but you get the gist. Hate rap, grunge, pop.

Jeopardy; Family Guy; Nova; History Channel; Biography Channel; Indy Film Channel.

Once Upon a Time in America; The Life of David Gale; Schindlers List; Purgatory; The Usual Suspects; Slingblade; Snatch;

The Bhagavad Gita, As it Is; Dialectic Spiritualism; The Pillars of the Earth: War and Peace: Nicholas Nickelby; A Prayer for Owen Meany; Pride and Prejudice; Walden; Srimad Bhagavatam; The Illiad; too many more to list.

"The unexamined life is not worth living" - Aristotle
"Just give up all these varieties of religion, and surrender to me" - Krishna
"As long as there are slaughterhouses, there will be battlefields" - Tolstoy

Mother Theresa, Ghandi, Martin Luther King, Jr., Srila Prabhupada, Jesus Christ, Solomon the Wise, and Firemen.

  • Ah, the federal reserve, that is a whole new discussion. Are you sure you want to get into that? LOL
    My arguement is not to prohibit anyone from doing whatever their religion requires unless it hurts people or animals or forces their belief onto others. My problem is with the religous people who think it is okay for time to be taken out of learning time in schools so their kid can pray or for us to follow on set of religious rules that were made into laws or motos for a country that is not made up of one religion.

  • Bob blocked me so I couldn't respond to you on his poll, so here is my response to you:

    Let me clarify what I meant by public buildings, I was talking about government buildings.
    You do an awesome job of blowing things out of proportion Lori. Are you always so dramatic or is it just this topic?
    Most hospitals are privately owned, some libraries are, stores are privately owned, churches can do whatever they believe in, people can do what they want in their own yards, private schools can do what they want, and cemeteries are privately owned. The headstone is up to the person who buys the plot of land in cemetery as to what is on their headstone.
    Praying in government buildings and public schools and have religious slogans on American money and seals is not okay.

  • +3 raves Every responsible adult should know whether or not they carry a communicable disease. That being... Every responsible adult should know whether or not they carry a communicable disease. That being said, if you are going to have sex with someone, it's your responsibility to know whether or not they are diseased, too.

    I don't like the "universal screening" mandate, because every case of HIV positive is reported and catalogued in the CDC databases, regardless of whether or not AIDS ever develops. HIV is not AIDS. In fact, the HIV retrovirus itself has never been isolated, and cannot be proven as a cause of AIDS. The HIV test only isolates the anti-bodies, not the virus, if there even is a virus that causes AIDS. People who take corticosteroids at high dosages for 3-6 months can develop AIDS without ever testing positive for HIV. The drugs themselves, like AZT, used to treat HIV positive patients, are so toxic that it is often the medication itself that kills the patient, even though they have not developed AIDS. AZT and similar drugs are labelled "antivirals", and they are, in the same way that Drano is an antiviral, it kills everything. False positives HIV tests are another huge problem. In June of this year, a news story told how hundreds of people were incorrectly told they had tested positive for HIV at New York City STD clinics due to a swab test. Over 70 conditions can lead to a false positive result in the Elisa test kit. Testing positive in this test could mean flu, malaria, tuberculosis, pregnancy, herpes, after-effects of hepatitis B and even tetanus vaccines. HIV is just one of the possible results. It is globally known that the Elisa test is not a conclusive one to find out the HIV status. Yet government agencies use only Elisa to establish HIV positive results.

    To believe in AIDS, we have to believe in a viral disease where the virus’s rate of infection (1 in 1000 sexual contacts) is outdone by human reproduction (1 in 10);

    a cell killing retrovirus, when retroviruses never kill cells;

    a virus provided to labs in immortal cultures of the same T cells it is said to kill off;

    a fatal virus that cannot be found in most patients, even dying ones, only antibodies to it;

    a disease where patients with merely antibodies can nevertheless die of the disease;

    a disease whose nature varies from place to place, almost exclusively a homosexual and drug user ailment in North America and Europe, but heterosexual elsewhere;

    a disease that correlates with drug use in North America and Europe, yet is alleviated or prevented by a bowl full of other damaging and lethal drugs, never proved to be helpful;

    a disease whose mechanism, including an up-to-twenty-year delay in onset, is as yet quite unexplained;

    a cell killing disease that causes cell multiplying cancer, with no trace of the virus in the cancer;

    and a disease said to be a killer epidemic in Haiti and South Africa, with no very significant change in overall mortality, and long endemic in sub-Saharan Africa, where a population explosion has nonetheless added 250 million people in two decades.

    We also have to believe in an epidemic mapped in Africa by the WHO without the benefit of AIDS tests;

    a viral epidemic uniquely without initial exponential growth and bell-shaped rise and fall;

    a viral epidemic which has not found immunity anywhere;

    a killer disease where no doctor, nurse or researcher working with it has caught the disease;

    a disease with risk group, lifestyle and malnutrition specific symptoms;

    a disease whose every symptom is shared with other diseases—in fact, a disease which would in every case be counted as those other diseases except for the supposed presence of antibodies to the ‘virus that causes AIDS;’

    a viral epidemic without a sign of a promising vaccine despite the best funded army of researchers in history;

    a viral disease which soon achieves the antibodies of vaccination of its own accord;

    and a virus transmitted 25-50% by birth which has produced no epidemic among children.

    Proponents of the HIV dogma assert repeatedly that ‘the evidence for HIV is overwhelming.’ When they are asked to produce it or cite some reference, the usual response is ridicule or some ad hominem attack imputing motives. But never a simple statement of facts. Nobody, to my knowledge, has ever provided a definitive answer to the simple question, ‘Where is the study that proves HIV causes AIDS?’ It’s just something that ‘everybody knows’ is true.

    Huge profits for pharmaceutical and condom manufacturers, bottomless grants for researchers and NGO’s, publicity and money for research foundations, and six-digit salaries for advertising executives have created a disincentive for exposing the truth. HIV isn't a disease, it's an industry. It's the goose that keeps laying golden eggs, as long as people keep dying, of course.

  • +5 raves Brzezinski was National Security Advisor to Jimmy Carter and co-founder of the Trilateral Commiss... Brzezinski was National Security Advisor to Jimmy Carter and co-founder of the Trilateral Commission (with David Rockefeller, serving as director from 1973 to 1976).

    In 1970, Brzezinski wrote a book called "Between Two Ages". In it, he writes:

    “The technetronic era involves the gradual appearance of a more controlled society. Such a society would be dominated by an elite, unrestrained by traditional values. Soon it will be possible to assert almost continuous surveillance over every citizen and maintain up-to-date complete files containing even the most personal information about the citizen. These files will be subject to instantaneous retrieval by the authorities.”

    Another quote by Brzezinski: Sovereignty is a word that is used often but it has really no specific meaning. Sovereignty today is nominal. Any number of countries that are sovereign are sovereign only nominally and relatively.

  • +5 raves I'm for the death penalty when the case is clear, and in this case it is. What possible excu... I'm for the death penalty when the case is clear, and in this case it is. What possible excuse is there for keeping this man alive, at our expense? We put dogs down for just biting people in self defense. If there was a wolf preying on people and killing them, we would shoot it, with barely a thought to the idea that it was a living, breathing, being, just being a wolf. This man is a human in form only, but he has the mind and intelligence of an animal, and I mean that literally, not figuratively. It would be cruel to lock this animal in a cage until he dies, isolated from others for his own protection, and subject to abuse by other animals and humans alike. The merciful thing to do would be to kill him, releasing him from his human form, which is not suitable for the mind of an animal. That is real justice, not retribution. We should not be interested in killing him for the sake of "making him pay" for his crime, but in the interest of compassion. God sees to it that we all pay for our crimes, one way or another, as He sees fit. But, He also gives us the intelligence to understand the difference between a predatory animal and a human being. You can dress a monkey in a suit and tie, but you still know he's a monkey. This man was dressed as a human, but he is a dangerous animal. (more)

  • +2 raves "We're identifying single targets that are responsible for the disease," says Vinue... "We're identifying single targets that are responsible for the disease," says Vinuesa. "This increased specificity will probably result in more effective treatments."

    Of course it will. If you identify exactly what agent is causing the disease, it becomes very inexpensive to replicate just that agent, rather than the whole virus. That way, you can easily give the disease (or the desired side effect, like sterilization) to the "targeted" people through your demonic vaccine, and you can make sure to leave that part out of the vaccines for the "right" people. Everybody pays for the vaccine, so the drug company profits from both batches.

    You know, I remember when I was in 1st grade, and we all had to go to the gym for some kind of innoculation. I think it was measels. I remember seeing that tray of vials that the nurses would draw from. Each of the vials had a colored rubber stopper, and I noticed that most of the stoppers were red, but there were a FEW that were blue. I don't know why I noticed it at all, but we were just standing in line, waiting, so what else was there to do but watch them? I remember thinking, "I don't want the blue one".

    And when I took my mother-in-law's cousin to get a flu shot at the community center, the syringes were prepackaged doses, but again, some were different colors. Has anyone else noticed this?

    1. Agents said there are more controlled-substance prescriptions obtained at the Beckley VA than any other hospital in the state and that's a problem.

    - No, that's not a problem, that's a POLICY. My uncle was a Vietnam vet, and I've interviewed many vets from both the Gulf War and Iraq. The drug pushing policy is standard procedure, and Oxy is very effective in producing certain desirable results in veterans. One of the side affects of Oxycontin is apathy, the feeling of not caring about anything. What a perfect control mechanism for people who have witnessed and/or participated in behaviors completely abhorrent to their own sense of morals and contradictory to their core value systems. After some veterans are discharged from the Armed Services, they often reflect on their activities with a sense of shame, guilt, remorse, and anger, yet they have been conditioned by the military to internalize their feelings and ignore their consciences. This produces a natural contradiction in a person's psyche, and can cause physical and psychological traumas. It can also make them dangerous, at least from a military standpoint. Soldiers are trained not to question orders while they're in the military, but once they come out, they start asking a LOT of questions, especially if they were involved in armed conflict where they experienced violence and death. The last thing the military wants is for their command to be questioned publicly, and noone on the planet knows more about psychological control of people than the military. Our military is the biggest test pool on the planet, and our government funds more psychological drug testing than any corporation on earth.

    2. He stresses the most important part of it all is getting Vets in the door and educated.

    - Anyone who has been in the military can tell you that getting "educated" has a distinctly different meaning in the military than our common usage of that word. In the military, being educated means that your own understanding of morality and values are stripped from you, and replaced with a completely different set of morals and values that further the goal of the military, but have only limited and temporary benefit to you personally. After you are discharged, those limited morals and values are not sufficient to allow meaningful interaction in civilian society. Many veterans feel an overwhelming sense of alienation from what used to be considered "normal" in their lives before the military. Oxycontin, and other powerful opiates, reduce them to the state of apathetic cooperation, depriving them of the ability to form critical observations and judgements about the rationales of war, and their own involvement in war. This is and has always been a necessary transition for soldiers to make after war, and being deprived of that ability through drugs means that they are still enslaved to the military conditioning they received that enabled them to act without thinking, and follow without questioning.

    Men and women coming out of Iraq with post-traumatic stress disorder are overwhelmingly treated with drugs that do nothing but reinforce their trauma while artificially reducing their stress to "manageable" levels. Of course, there is yet another angle to this: profit. Big Pharma is making a killing (no pun intended) on war, or more specifically, war veterans. The cost of an Oxycontin is about $4 a pill, but a pill sells on the street for $20. Once you have a market "hooked", it doesn't matter if you sell it cheaper than the street, because you'll more than make it up in demand. That's simple business economics. So, Oxycontin is a useful tool to control the mind and behavior of people who have been traumatized by war, while presenting it as a tool to treat injured veterans and help them cope.

    People become addicted to Oxycontin easily, but what happens if they can't get it anymore, or if they can't afford it? The street drug that most closely resembles Oxycontin's affects is heroin. Heroin produces the same euphoria and apathy, and it is cheap, because our cities are virtually flooded with Afghanistan heroin. (Don't EVEN get me started on how that much heroin gets into our country, and by whom. Just let me say that illegal drugs are the third most profitable trade on earth, after oil and gold. Who do you THINK controls it?)

    My uncle ended up a heroin addict, after years of being on a constantly rotating soup of psychotropic "medications" to help him cope with the utter horror and immorality of the Vietnam fiasco. Even before he became addicted to heroin, my mother didn't allow him to come over often, because he was just too "scary and unstable" from all the drugs they had him on. But, after all, he was useful as a guinea pig for a while, until he wasn't.

All I can say is, Nebraska is probably one of the only places on earth where it is perfectly logical to still think that the world must be flat. Nebraska is 430 miles long, and you can practically stand at one end and see the other end. Two famous inventions from Nebraska are exactly like Nebraska. Kool-aid and Cliff notes. Both of them are flat, rectangular packages of a condensed product that almost everyone enjoys at some point, but is slightly embarassed to admit it later. (more)

Our founding fathers knew very well, and history has taught us, that governments tend to seize as much power from the people as possible, first with the promise of protection, and then by force. ALL governments do this, if they are permitted to. In this country, it is OUR responsibility to ensure our own liberty, by excercising our rights, defending our rights, and by never relinquishing our rights or our authority to the government. They work for US, and we can NEVER let them think for a second that it is the other way around. Ever. (more)
