Eighty Four percent of those receiving the Anthrax Vaccine have had adverse reactions. The FDA has not approved this as an authorized vaccine, yet we are spending 5.6 billion dollars on it's manufacturer. Military personnel have been refusing to take the vaccine because of the side effects, even at the risk of court martial. What does that say to you?
Continued from Thursday November 17. This government is a democracy, by and for the people. When the people no longer have checks and balances to keep the Executive and Judicial Branches in order, we are all at risk for losing our freedom. Even in a perfect world, how safe can anyone really be?
What are you willing to give up for your freedom? Living in a free society comes with some benefits and some risks. How do you define terrorism, and how does our government define terrorism? Who is keeping track of the secret courts, the wire taps, the background checks, bank and phone survelience. When is safety just too costly? Even in a perfect world you can't protect against everything. The Patriot Act has extended the powers of the Executive and Judicial branches WAY beyond what seems appropriate in the name of safety and our Civil Rights are at risk.
Do you like rollercoasters? 456 feet in the air, 128 miles per hour, the ride lasts only seconds. Life is like a rollercoaster. If you really want to get the fullest experience, when you get to the top you have to let go. You have to put your hands up in the sky and let go and embrace the fear. Riding a rollercoaster is really just symbolic. What I'm really talking about is letting go in life, taking chances. Is the hardest thing letting go or is the hardest thing believing that the fall won't be fatal?
I found this really beautiful big Atlantic Moon Seashell today. What's really interesting is that the inside is even more beautiful and spectacular than the outside. Maybe a lot of things are like that. Inside what we think is reality is a more spectactular and amazing reality just waiting for us to mature the conception of relationships between one other. If we keep working on it, anything can happen. It's a universe of possibility.
Thanksgiving hasn't even come yet, Halloween has just past. It's only the beginning of November and the media marketing machine is already churning. I find the whole gifting thing becomming just nauseating. I say we boycott the gifting, save tons of money on wrapping paper and send it to some really worthy charity.
Thirty Three billion dollars in profits in one quarter. Consumers in the United States are stuck with a system that belongs in a museum. Fossil fuels, Oil and Natural Gas are the life blood of the US economy. We are being held hostage by big Oil companies, and radical foreign governments. This is a National Security Issue.
France is burning. Cries of God is Great echo throughout hundreds of towns and provinces. Bands of youth riot and vandalize burning thousands of cars. They are breaking into shops, burning schools, bus stations and even a police station. Poverty, unemployment and discrimination are at the heart of the matter, the undercurrent is revolution.
Part 2 - With Henry Luk in China. Here's the second part of my facinating interview. Henry talks about how China is changing, from a nation that was very backward to now a very modern environment in the cities and a very global minded community.
In my quest to bring to you aspects of different cultures, I am very pleased to feature: Henry Luk In China. China is home to the single largest population on this planet. It is the most exciting opening culture in the world with a tremendous economy, second largest after the US. Please Join me in this very enlightening conversation with Henry.
Judge Samuel Alito, the most recent nominee to the Supreme Court is another really strange choice. I wonder if The White House has been doing their homework. It has been reported that he refused to recuse himself from two cases in which he had personal, financial conflicts of interest. Does that really show just prudence? Is this really befitting of a Supreme Court Justice?
The concept of Unity is built into our currency. E pluribus unum is written on every dollar, every coin, it is the most common symbol of unity in our daily lives. We are One. The founding fathers got it, they understood, and wrote their version of democracy and social responsibility based on Unity based on the concept of understanding that we are all one people.
There is no number more powerful than One. One person can do so much if you are willing to get a little dirty and work hard. Rosa Parks was a famous One, but we can all do our little bit. Sometimes you might think your efforts are a waste of time but they are not. It may take years to see the the fruits of your labor. But your power can affect the lives of many, by giving joy, peace and friendship.
Trick or Treat-Happy Halloween #138 Monday October 31, 2005
Killed In Action over 2000 and counting. The headlines read "Milestone in Iraq, 2000 dead". The numbers are so deceiving. What about the 7800 wounded and sent home or the 8500 wounded and sent back in? We need to support our men and women over there and make sure our government isn't minimizing their loss. This is a gigagantic quagmire, the violence is escalating, what is the exit stragegy?
