 | We can't do this on our own. |
 Another one of my Humanities coursework discussion postings:
If one could attribute a theme
to the history of humanity it would be this: “we can't do this on our
own”. If we just take western culture as an example, we see that
humanity has washed, rinsed, and repeated revolutions of philosophical
thought over and over again. We have gone through several micro-cycles
of chaos, adjustment, and balance.

| Cyclone and Satire |
Cyclone:
News from Myanmar tells us of the horrible tragedy a recent Cyclone has caused. Estimates are that the death toll could exceed 10,000. Please pray for this country as they have already suffered major politcal upheaval in recent years, and the people suffer from tremendous poverty.
Satire:
Apparently FEMA can't control the weather there either. (Note: This statement will be lost on liberals.)

| Doomed to Repeat History |
This is a discussion posting I wrote for a Humanities course that I am taking. I decided to post it here for posterity.
I
love what I like to call “mental morsels”. I am talking about those
interesting little tidbits of information that you get when studying
subjects like this where certain elements of cultural development and
etymology are discussed. These kinds of thoughts that the mind can
savor, are some of what makes history so important to me.

| Electing Hillary - stop the ignorance |
When you interview people on the street, there seems to be a common theme occuring in regard to Hillary Clinton being elected President. When asked the question "would you vote for Hillary", most people say yes, they would vote for her. When asked why, blank stares and uninformed answers emit from people's mouths. The most common line of reasoning is "because she is a woman". We know that's not a qualification or a good answer. However, most of the time when asked why the voter thinks that's a good idea, the common theme answer is that "I dunno, it's different and edgy".
I wonder if the voters would also hire a pathological pedophile to baby-sit
their kids because it's different and edgy. That's what this line of reasoning
amounts to. We are talking about the direction of our nation and the
wellbeing of our very lives!

| Common sense view on Virginia Tech tragedy. |
The Virginia Tech shootings still weigh heavily on many minds. Even now words cannot fully give credence to the horror of this event. Much could be said and has been said regarding gun ownership, mental illness, personal privacy, information sharing in law enforcement, and personal freedoms.
Resolving some of these issues can be complicated. There are good points on both sides of most arguements. To a degree, I would like to simplify the most critical of the issues, that is, the loss of human life. Here of 4 of my phillosophical presuppositions that I consider to be fact.
1) People will snap, go crazy, get violent, and hurt people with or without the use of a tool to cause harm i.e. guns, knives, bats, sticks, cars, billy clubs, brass knuckles, etc. The will harm as they have determined and decided to do so.
2) In our culture, Civil liberties groups and the government will continue to go back and forth on privacy issues, and get very little done.
3) Police can't be everywhere at all times to protect people.
4) People have the right to defend themselves, even with the use of lethal force if reasonable and necessary.
Many will agree with these statements. Some may not want to agree because of the logical conclusions that they might lead to; however, the truth found in these statements must still be acknowledged.
Now we come to the pay-off: "All it would have taken is one armed person, a student or a teacher, to stop this lunitic and save dozens of lives." You may not like this statment, but the logic and common sense cannot be denied and it is provided in good faith from me, a non-violent, law-abiding, gun-toting citizen. I have the right, and refuse to be a victim of violent attack without a chance to defend myself and those around me.
Think about it, and be determined to excercise your rights.

| Ten Commandments - yep, I said it. |
Food for thought:
Do the rules listed below sound bad to you? They sound good to me, but apparently there are
leaders of our country who think these words should be banned from the public setting.
I guess freedom of speech only applies to those who agree with their ideology.
Maybe you don't believe in God, but don't you think if we read and applied these words to some degree
then maybe we wouldn't have some of the trouble we have in our country like
Murder, Rape, Theft, School Shootings,
Corporate Plunder, Political Corruption, Suicide, Drug Addiction, Alcoholism,
Sexual Immorality, broken homes, Racism, Fraud, Child Abuse,
and even heath issues related to stress? Maybe, just maybe if we started with these rules,
things would be a little better. And don't we all want that?
God Said:
- You shall have no other gods before me.
- You shall not make for yourself an idol in the form of anything in heaven above or on the earth beneath or in the waters below. You shall not bow down to them or worship them; for I, the LORD your God, am a jealous God, punishing the children for the sin of the fathers to the third and fourth generation of those who hate me, but showing love to a thousand {generations} of those who love me and keep my commandments.
- You shall not misuse the name of the LORD your God, for the LORD will not hold anyone guiltless who misuses his name.
- Remember the Sabbath day by keeping it holy. Six days you shall labor and do all your work, but the seventh day is a Sabbath to the LORD your God. On it you shall not do any work, neither you, nor your son or daughter, nor your manservant or maidservant, nor your animals, nor the alien within your gates. For in six days the LORD made the heavens and the earth, the sea, and all that is in them, but he rested on the seventh day. Therefore the LORD blessed the Sabbath day and made it holy.
- Honor your father and your mother, so that you may live long in the land the LORD your God is giving you.
- You shall not murder.
- You shall not commit adultery.
- You shall not steal.
- You shall not give false testimony against your neighbor.
- You shall not covet your neighbor's house. You shall not covet your neighbor's wife, or his manservant or maidservant, his ox or donkey, or anything that belongs to your neighbor.

| Illegal Immigration Protest |
|
Recently large demonstrations have taken place across the country protesting the fact that Congress is finally addressing the issue of illegal immigration. Certain people are angry that the US might protect its own borders, might make it harder to sneak into this country and, once here, to stay indefinitely. Let me see if I correctly understand the thinking behind these protests.

| Robbing social security - trivia questions |
This was sent to me by a retirie recieving Social Security benefits. This guy worked over 30 years of his life on the border of Texas and Mexico ministering to people in need. The level of his credibility to comment on this is immense.
Here's a great quiz on the robbing of Security. Go through these trivia questions and see who the liars and thieves really are.
Social Security - "We contend that for a nation to try to tax itself into prosperity is like a man standing in a bucket and trying to lift himself up by the handle."--Winston Churchill

A Republican and a Democrat were walking down the street when they came upon a homeless person. The Republican gave the homeless person his business card and told him to come to his business for a job. He then took twenty dollars out of his pocket and gave it to the homeless person. The Democrat was very impressed, and when they came to another homeless person, he decided to help. He walked over to the homeless person and gave him directions to the welfare office. He then reached into the Republican's pocket and gave him fifty dollars. -- Author Unknown

| Sometimes War is the Answer |
I've occasionally seen these fruity, 50-something old hippy protestors out on the street corners holding up signs that said "War is not the answer". I say, sometime it is, because there is oppressive evil that must be fought.
My sister received this from one of our Marines currently in Iraq, it is a story she received that is actually making her think of re-enlisting! It is a story that might make you think.

OK, I just had to add this little rant. I just bought a bag of a product called Oil-Dri(tm) to use in my garage after working on my car. I love the stuff, it's awesome, and works better than anything of it's kind. I noticed a faux seal on the bag that tauts "All organic Earth materials" or something to that effect. Now those of you who know what Oil-Dri is, you are already laughing. For an explanation, please read more.....
