Never judge urself for any uncontrollable mental attributes u may have as part of ur "YOU", everyone has them and they can be a pain in the neck yet, each of us has the personal "YOU JOB" of working with them or working around them.

Know that the content of the soul is pure and complete no matter how "YOU LOOK AT IT".
It's only the wordily mind games that would have "YOU OTHER WISE LOOK".

The total acceptance of the "YOU BY YOU" is the mind of the "YOU CHILD" and the Gateway to the Heavenly realms of Earth by mind.

The total acceptance of the self by the self is the "YOU IN YOU IN LOVE WITH YOU"....Lalepop'

Lalepop's creation story :=)

One Day.
"An Arm" reached from out of the deepest darkest recesses of of space and "The Hand" slowly opened and the Earth rolled forth into the Sun's warm light, folowed by little La and little Le who, after tumbling down the nearest grassy hill, came to rest beside a very pretty stream that has trout in it with trees lining the banks.

By the time La and Le stopped thier tumbling "An Arm" and "The Hand" haddath retractedeth itith selfeth.

Than, originating from the same place the "An Arm" and "the Hand" haddath retractedeth tooeth, there came a loud, clear, happy voice that said, " There ya go kids..it's an Earth and it's yours to play with till I get back..just remember to take care of it and each other and you'll have a blast......cool"?

"Way cool ...thanks pop", La and Le responded.

"Well than...Peace out my silly little cherubs, Pop said ....catch ya on the rebound!" the voice ended as it chuckled it's self backeth frometh whereth itith cameth!

Well there ya have it " Lalepop's story of creation for us simple folks" and by the way, anyone taking exception to the validity of this creation story La, Le, and Pop' suggest ya talk to "The Hand"! .......Lalepop'

The being that we are...

2012-02-04T11:54:00.000-08:00

Not in the way you would expect but in that manner that people come together after a hurricane to work together...disasters have a way of doing what people cant unfortunately.

No woo woo mystery here but rather the natural outcome of mankind's actions over the past 1980 years in a physical world while immersed in the law of cause and effect with Love as a relative.

See, what men can't get through their heads because of their eyes is, that "WE" are "NOT" Spiritual beings contained within a physical body!

Men tend to consider themselves as physical beings with a spiritual component and as such there is a great imbalance of action and thought, thus conflict with self, world, and others.

You see, it's not hard to know the truth if you take the time to listen and it's presented truthfully without the "Religious thing". The religious thing is but a pointing finger of sorts and indeed has brought us this far into our understanding of self but the rest of the cycle is up to us!.

Science entering into the areas of quantum physics is giving us startling insight into the universe with the realization that it is nothing as we had expected.
On this level, it than can be expected, that we will see greater understandings
regarding our own nature relative to.......cause/ effect.

As there is a hierarchy in the fields of politics, science, there also is a spiritual hierarchy and in these various fields, men arise to show the way out of our unknowing.

Give it a shot, you'll see what I mean. See yourself as a limitless spiritual being, NOT contained within the body but rather the body is " the platform" from which the spiritual being is able operate in a physical world.

If you are able to conceive of it even a little bit, you will feel the weight lifted.

Your brain is like an interface that the spiritual being "that you are" must use only when displaying itself in physical form.

Mankind has been looking all over the place for answers but none have provided him with an absolute knowing.
It's all right here man!

"WE" are Spiritual but we are not "in" the physical body. We are " the physical manifestation of a conscious and boundless ETERNAL spirit"! ....Lalepop'

Even the Angels are new....

2012-02-03T18:18:00.000-08:00

In my first life I was schooled in analog electronics and understood the reality of analog as it applied to the real world but than digital electronics was introduced and all that I had learned, for the most part, had become useless.

I say this to say, I once had a grasp on reality and than one day, reality was changed by the introduction of a new way and the old ways became irrelevant.

Well the same thing happened in the world of the spirit.
With the New Covenant as proclaimed by Jesus, reality took over.

Portraying Angels in mythological terms embodying might and power were replaced by real angels embodying the spirit of Love.

The angel remained a member of the Heavenly hosts but the nature of those angels were changed with Christ's statement "Lest ye become as a child u shall not enter the kingdom of Heaven".

What that did was to change the whole ball game. Where before, children were to be seen not heard, they, through this new covenant that the Lord made with his people, became the inheritors of God's Kingdom and as such a focus of reverence, no longer low life as they were portrayed under the old covenant but now the focus of emulation through Christ.

What I am suggesting to u is that u learned many of the old pre new covenant analog ways and are thinking that they apply under the post new covenant digital ways when in fact Christ made the old ways irrelevant.

Of course u can view Angels as u want to but, viewing them other than what they are under Christ is simply an exercise in futility because u simply would be as wrong in ur views as I would have been to try to continue my analog ways in a digital world.

Angels are real not mythological beings and can be recognized by a Loving spirit that a child embodies...THUS THE PORTRAYAL IN THE FORM OF THE CHERUB.

Christ's message has been in the world now for over 2000 years...don't ya think it time to get on board with his reality? I know it can seem harsh but come on now.

I hopes this helps in an understanding of Christ's/God's plan in the world and of course Angels! ....Lalepop'

"IMANI AND THE WISE MAN"

THIS IS THE STORY OF IMANI AND HIS SEARCH FOR THE MEANING OF FAITH.

IMANI LIVED IN A JUNGLE CITY WHERE THE TRAFFIC SLITHERED LIKE A SNAKE ON THE PROW. WHERE POISONOUS LIZARDS ROAMED WITH A VENOM AS DEADLY AS A THOUSAND MARTINI'S. WHERE FLYING THINGS STUNG WITH THE NUMBING POWER OF HEROIN AND EACH NIGHT WAS FILLED WITH CREATURES, EACH WITH THEIR OWN DEFENSES AND OFFENSES. IMANI WAS DAY AND NIGHT FRIGHTENED! HE WAS NEITHER BEAST NOR CREATURE... HE WAS JUST HIS FEAR. IT WAS WHILE HE WAS IN HIS FEAR, AND THE CONFUSION THAT IS FEAR'S ACCOMPLICE, THAT IMANI HAPPENED UPON A WISE MAN.

"OH WISE MAN", IMANI SAID, "I AM SO FRIGHTENED FOR THE SNAKES ARE CLOSE AND THE LIZARDS NEAR AND THE LIONS AND THETIGERS AND THE FLYING THINGS",IMANI QUAKED."HELP ME OH WISE MAN", lMANI PLEADED. "HAVE FAITH", THE WISE MAN REPLIED CALMLY. WHAT DO YOU MEAN...FAITH?", IMANI ASKED WITH A JERK.

"FAITH IS FAITH",WAS THE MATTER OF FACT REPLY.

"YOU MEAN IGNORE ALL OF THIS", IMANI RESPONDED.

"NO NOT THAT ", WAS THE WISE MAN'S ANSWER."WELL IF IT'S NOT THAT, THAN WHAT IS IT, WHAT EXACTLY DO YOU MEAN, FAITH", lMANI CONFUSEDLY PRODDED.

"COME WITH ME AND I'LL SHOW YOU ", THE WISE MAN SUGGESTED, AS HE STARTED TO WALK. WITH THAT, lMANI AND THE WISE MAN HEADED TOWARD THE HEART OF THE MATTER, THE DEEPEST PART OF THE JUNGLE CITY.

IT WASN'T LONG BEFORE A BLUE AND WHITE SNAKE SLITHERED CLOSE AND OPENING IT'S MOUTH WIDE CONSUMED SOMETHING NEAR, AND LIKE A BUS, MOVED ON. IT MOVED ON DIRECTLY TOWARD IMANI AND THE WISE MAN. IMANI FROZE, MOTIONLESS FROM FEAR, TRANQUILIZED BY THE PROSPECT, OVERWHELMED BY THE IMPENDING DOOM.

ALMOST INAUDIBLY IMANI UTTERED, "GIVE ME FAITH OH WISE MAN".

WITH THAT, THE WISE MAN QUICKLY RESPONDED CALMLY SAYING, "MOVE", AND HE GAVE IMANI A PUSH OUT THE WAY OF THE APPROACHING SNAKE.

"BUT I ASKED FOR FAITH AND YOU GAVE ME A PUSH", IMANI SAID TO THE WISE MAN DISTURBINGLY.

"IT'S BEST TO HAVE FAITH BUT SINCE YOU DONT HAVE THAT YET, IT'S WISE TO MOVE ASIDE" , WAS THE WISE MAN'S REPLY.

"I CAN SHOW YOU THE WISE THING TO DO BUT I CAN'T DO FAITH FOR YOU", HE CONTINUED.

"WELL ARE YOU GOING TO SHOW ME WHAT FAITH IS OR AREN'T YOU ", IMANI IMPATIENTLY INQUIRED OF THE WISE MAN.

"FOLLOW ME", WAS THE WISE MAN'S RESPONSE AS HE STARTED TO WALK.

OFF THEY WENT, WITH IMANI FOLLOWING CLOSELY IN THE FOOTSTEPS OF THE WISE MAN. AFTER A SHORT TIME THEY CAME UPON A CAVE CARVED INTO A BUILDING LIKE HILL SIDE OF ROCKS.

THEY ENTERED THE CAVE, THE WISE MAN WAS IN THE LEAD. UPON ENTERING, IMANI WAS QUICK TO NOTICE THE LIZARDIN THE CORNERTHE ONE WITH THE VENOM OF A THOUSAND MARTINI'S. NO SOONER HAD IMANI SPOTTED THE LIZARD, THE LIZARD SPOTTED IMANI AND INITIATED A CHARGE TOWARD HE AND THE WISE MAN. IT SO STARTLED IMANI THAT HE FROZE IN HIS TRACKS, AS IF INTOXICATED BY THE SPECTOR OF THE CHARGING LIZARD.

ALMOST INAUDIBLY IMANI COULD BE HEARD SAYING, "I REALLY NEED FAITH NOW".

WITH THAT, THE WISE MAN PULLED IMANI FROM THE PATH OF THE CHARGING LIZARD AND THE LIZARD CRASHED INTO THE CAVE'S WALL JUST NEXT TO IMANI'S RIGID FORM. IMANI LOOKED DOWN AT THE UNCONSCIOUS LIZARD AND THAN, AT THE HAND OF THE WISE MAN THAT SILL HAD HOLD OF HIS ARM.

" DON'T TELL ME ", IMANI SAID RATHER SHEEPISHLY, "I SHOULD HAVE MOVED ".

" NOW YOU'RE STARTING TO WISE UP ", THE WISE MAN STATED CALMLY WHILE STEPPING OVER THE UNCONSCIOUS LIZARD AT THEIR FEET. THE PAIR MADE A DETERMINED EXIT FROM THE CAVE, LIKE A NUN FROM A BAR.

IMANI, RELIEVED TO BE ON THE OUTSIDE, TOOK A DEEP BREATH OF THE NIGHT AIR. NO SOONER HAD HE EXHALED,... WHEN HE HEARD A BUZZING. THERE, COMING THROUGH THE NIGHT IN THEIR DIRECTION, WAS ONE OF THOSE FLYING THINGS, THOSE THINGS WITH A STING AS DEBILITATING AS HEROIN.

"GET DOWN! ", IMANI SHOUTED AS HE AND THE WISE MAN DROPPED TO THE GROUND JUST IN TIME TO AVOID THE STING OF THE FLYING THING AS IT PASSED OVERHEAD DISAPPEARING AMONG THE STREET LIKE CORRIDORS OF THE JUNGLE.

" NOW THAT WAS WISE IMANI ",THE WISE MAN SAID WITH A BIT OF INFLECTION IN HIS VOICE.

AS THE NIGHT WENT ON IMANI AND THE WISE MAN FACED A SUCCESSION OF CREATURES, AND WITH EACH ONE, IMANI ACTED WISELY. IT WAS AFTER THEIR SIXTH CONFRONTATION THAT IMANI WAS NOTICEABLY LESS FEARFUL. SO MUCH LESS, THAT HE STARTED TO WONDER IF HE REALLY NEEDED FAITH AT ALL. HE WAS THINKING AT THIS POINT THAT, MAYBE... JUST MAYBE WISDOM WAS ALL HE NEEDED.

NO SOONER HAD THOSE THOUGHTS CROSSED HIS MIND WHEN, FROM OUT OF THE BUSHES, JUMPED A HYPERAGGRESSIVE, I'M GONNA EAT YOU, YOU'RE BLEEP IS MINE, KIND OF A LION. THE LION WAS CARRYING ON IT'S BACK ALL KINDS OF LION TOOLS FROM PENCILS TO HAMMER JACKS AND EVEN AN ASSORTMENT OF DISEASES. THE LAST THING IMANI NOTICED BEFORE TURNING AWAY WAS A NAME TAG THAT THIS MOST FEROCIOUS LION WAS WEARING. PRINTED IN BOLD LETTERS, IT READ... REALITY!!!

USING THE WISE RESPONSE THAT HE HAD BEEN TAUGHT EARLIER HE TOOK OFF. IMANI AND THE WISE MAN RAN FOR ALL THEY WERE WORTH. UNLIKE THE OTHER THREATS IMANI AND THE WISE MAN HAD BEEN FACED WITH, THIS ONE DIDN'T END WHEN THEY MOVED... REALITY WAS GETTING CLOSER AND CLOSER!

IMANI NOTICING THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THIS SET OF CIRCUMSTANCES AND THE PREVIOUS ONES, FELT THE RESURGENCE OF THAT OLD FAMILIAR FEAR.

" QUICK, UP THIS TREE !", THE WISE MAN SHOUTED BACK TO IMANI. IMANI AND THE WISE MAN CLIMBED THE TREE TO IT'S HIGHEST LIMB.ONCE THERE, THE WISE MAN DIRECTED IMANI TO THE VERY END OF THE LIMB. BEHIND IMANI WAS NOTHING BUT CLOUDS. THE WISE MAN HAD FOLLOWED IMANI OUT ONTO THE LIMB AND WAS STANDING NEXT TO IMANI BETWEEN HE AND THE LION BELOW.

FOR A MINUTE OR TWO IMANI THOUGHT POSSIBLY THEY WERE SAFE FROM THE PURSUING LION, BUT THAN HE NOTICED THE LION WAS LAYING DOWN HIS LION TOOLS AT THE BASE OF THE TREE, AND, BARING HIS TEETH, STARTED UP THE TREE AFTER THEM.

NOW IMANI WAS SHAKING SO BADLY HE COULD HARDLY STAY ON THE LIMB.

SPEAKING TO THE WISE MAN, HIS VOICE SHAKING, HE ASKED, "WHAT'S THE WISE THING TO DO?"

"HAVE FAITH ", THE WISE MAN REPLIED, HIS VOICE SHAKING WITH FEAR TOO.

BY THIS TIME,THE LION WAS ON THE LIMB AND WITH AN ANGRY GROWL HE SUNK HIS TEETH INTO THE WISE MAN, WHO, WITH ONE LAST RAISE OF THE ARM DIRECTED IMANI OFF THE LIMB.&
IMANI, SO FRIGHTENED AT WHAT WAS TAKING PLACE TO THE WISE MAN AND RESPONDING TO THE DIRECTION HE STEPPED BACKWARD OFF THE LIMB YET, TO HIS ASTONISHMENT, HE DIDN'T FALL. IMANI JUST STOOD THERE ASTHE LION CONTINUED TO DEVOUR THE WISE MAN.
THE WISE MAN MANAGED TO LOOK IN THE DIRECTION OF IMANI NOW STANDING SOLID ON THIN AIR, SAID FAINTLY, WITH HIS DIEING BREATH, " THIS IS YOUR ANSWER IMANI I AM WISE AND YET THE LION IS EATING ME BUT YOU HAVE WILLINGLY STEPPED BACK ONTO THIN AIR ONLY TO FIND U DIDN'T FALL, YOU are standing on FAITH NOW AND I AM LEFT WITH REALITY"! ...Pop'

This is something I wrote in 2008

2012-02-02T15:13:00.000-08:00

"You will come to understand through the steady press of events".
I posted this for those in this group of posters who are distressed about "Our" ability to make the necessary changes to "save" man and his environment and I'm saying, "don't fret".

Unfortunately our senses only provide us with enough info to fumble about. Our awareness beyond the physical senses has been eroded by time and manipulation.

You have heard the term "the upper room"? Well, thats an area of vast consciousness that men have been aware of for ages and by manipulation or you might say "mind control" this area of consciousness has been sealed over by the clever crafting of words. Access has been denied to all but those "In the know" so to speak. Well," times they are a changing" as the song goes and that "upper room" isn't a secret any more.

If you happen to be aware of quantum physics, than you are aware that this area of science is uncovering the truth of our reality in an effort to present it to the pragmatic scientific minded.
The spiritual mind had discovered this area of vast consciousness on numerous occasions and have tried to show the unseen.

The events that are now underway will take the wind out of the sails of the high and mighty and put wind in the sails of the lowly.

As the unfolding events are seen, the word of the spiritual man will be validated and vindicated, people will again look toward the spiritual man for direction as it was before pragmatic man tried and failed to play God.

The pieces will display themselves in this "change of direction" that will be very frightening to some and very comforting to others.

And you got a heads up....Lalepop'

Rhetoric in Politics

2012-02-02T14:13:00.000-08:00

In the flesh, we want to avoid "Real" conflict and do lots of cheek turning, but in the spirit "damn the torpedoes full speed ahead" and in a case of "Playing political hard ball, as hard as possible" my advantage in a political arena is that I am spiritual.
Meaning I have no worldly bottom line to meet since my simple needs are met and I have no interruptions in my "thought train" and that thought train includes a paint brush and a free wheeling mind to go ballistic, be it in the arts or in politics. I tend to post reasoned values in tangential ways... Lalepop'

Lest it not be fully realized, George Bush and his Republican associates bled our country of it's "life's blood", it's economy, taking it From a 5.6 trillion dollar surplus to a 10 trillion deficit!

That's a total of 15.6 trillion dollars that was sucked from the American economy during his time in office.

If this, in itself, does not show u the "character" of the Republican party, God help ya.

Republican thieves and they are that, thieves of the highest order, have padded their pockets with money/power at the expense of everyone else.

Maybe the acronym MBC (Make Believe Christian) could be used in our discussions so as to avoid lumping in the good with the bad.

I heard one of those things earlier and it was this, Eugentics was practiced in this country "as late as the 1970's".
My previous understanding was that Eugentics was practiced in this country during "the first half the last century", according to sources one would normally trust.
Eugentics went on in this country for three quarters of a century and some of the victims of this practice are still alive today.
"I'm sorry" the government has said, yet nothing done to ease what government had levied on so many of "OUR" innocent, just, ... "I'm sorry!
My heart cries out in pain.
In answer to the question of "What would Jesus do?",
he would Occupy banks until our financial sector "paid"(yes even in this economy should u even dare think it) the surviving victims of the practice of Eugentics an amount to where-by they could live their remaining years in relative ease! That's what Jesus would do!...Lalepop'

The real power of the dark is it's darkness, in that, the light has limited access and therefore is essentially blind to dark's inner workings.

That being said, most folks in the world, live "above board" but there are an "almost" equal number involved in the dark art's heiarchey.

The differnce in power between the light and dark arts is as the difference between the stregnth of one's right arm vs one's left.

At this time in history, the "dark arts" are exercising their power though their intent is hidden for the most part from the light.

All participants of the dsrk arts are characterized as being secretive or belonging too a secretive group...be it the Scull and Bones Society, or the Free Masons and the list goes on into a desending heiarchey that "only appears" to ascend.

"But kind sir", I said, "coffee costs a quarter and I'm so so cold", to which the giant replied in a condescending growl,"OK OK, now stop ur wining u snit, sign this and give me ur life and I'll give u ur quarter!

Whatever happens on the ground, solar phycisists expect the Sun's behavior over the next two years to impact the planet in ways rarely (if ever) experienced by modern man. As a sign of scarier things to come, a medium-sized corona mass ejection, or CME, was detected heading towards us on June 7th. While its effect was inconsequential, NASA officials lamented that another CME emitted on the far side of the Sun was packing considerably more heat.
The strong possibility exists that the convergence of events in the near future will make all of our petty differences pale in comparison.

It is perhaps to their credit (or to their practicality) that those born of lesser parents can sometimes be, reluctantly admitted, to the aristocratic club but such admissions are generally to the advantage of the club’s elder guard, who perceive a use or value to enterprising "outsiders" considered to be "manageable", yet in no way should be considered a gesture of genuine Philanthropy.

Everything is ONE thing and that truth can be seen most vividly at this point in time as Human nature and Mother nature continue to reflect one another.

This means, as one has becomes more violent and oppresive, so too does the other.

The extent of the human beings influence is in the arena of human nature, meaning should the human beings "choose" to express the positive/ bright side of their nature, mother nature will follow suit or on the other hand,  if mankind continues to escalate in the expression of his negative nature, so to the effects of mother nature's negative side will continue to escalate.

As u can see most vividly at this point, the future is truly in mankind's hands but unfortunately select members of the human race and those who follow blindly continue to go negative on the world stage giving mother nature no choice but to go negative in return.

This relationship between man and nature has always existed but the mind of man has not been able to comprehend it on a substantial scale as we and the world continue in a downward  spiral of birth to death rather than birth to life.

Mankind has  once again chosen the wrong path by following the ill tempered dark minded among the family of man.

The negative choices seen by the likes of Egyptian leadership, the American Neocon movement or Chinese oppression, along with the weather, is a very bad sign of things to come for the reason I just illustrated.

Count me in among those with spiritual ears,

Count me in among life's teachers taught the hard way,
the way of the desert, the way of the lost.

Count me in again among life's perpetual students,

But for God's sake don't count me in,

This blog post directed toward the Blogstream reunited forum.

2011-11-29T05:29:00.000-08:00

Those of us who have an active blog after Blogstream were faced with a problem, after moving on, that didn't exist on Blogstream and that problem was, no longer did we get e-mail notification when a comment was made to a blogged post.

It was noticed that without this e-mail notification those of us , for instance, who now have blogs on Blogger were unable to maintain the cohesiveness to other blogs as existed on the old stream and as such, the blogging experience on blogger was compromised.

So along came "Blog stream united".

I've come to realize that if I provide links to my blog on blogger and post them on "Blog Streamers reunited" the interaction that was lacking on blogger is now available with the help of this new FB creation.

My suggestion is that ex Streamers continue their blogs as usual on blogger and post links on "BSU".

In this way we can maintain the integrity of the blogging experience as it had been on the old stream as the result of comment response interaction while at the same time interaction with the old Streamers on BSU who no longer have blogs.

As u can see I've started to provide "links only" to my existing blog on blogger. Thanks for ya'll....Pop'

10 things that the Occupation movement wants

2011-11-23T22:54:00.000-08:00

    10 Things We Want
    A Proposal for Occupy Wall Street
    Submitted by Michael Moore

1. Eradicate the Bush tax cuts for the rich and institute new taxes on the wealthiest Americans and on corporations, including a tax on all trading on Wall Street (where they currently pay 0%).

2. Assess a penalty tax on any corporation that moves American jobs to other countries when that company is already making profits in America. Our jobs are the most important national treasure and they cannot be removed from the country simply because someone wants to make more money.

3. Require that all Americans pay the same Social Security tax on all of their earnings (normally, the middle class pays about 6% of their income to Social Security; someone making $1 million a year pays about 0.6% (or 90% less than the average person). This law would simply make the rich pay what everyone else pays.

4. Reinstate the Glass-Steagall Act, placing serious regulations on how business is conducted by Wall Street and the banks.

5. Investigate the Crash of 2008, and bring to justice those who committed any crimes.

6. Reorder our nation's spending priorities (including the ending of all foreign wars and their cost of over $2 billion a week). This will re-open libraries, reinstate band and art and civics classes in our schools, fix our roads and bridges and infrastructure, wire the entire country for 21st century internet, and support scientific research that improves our lives.

7. Join the rest of the free world and create a single-payer, free and universal health care system that covers all Americans all of the time.

8. Immediately reduce carbon emissions that are destroying the planet and discover ways to live without the oil that will be depleted and gone by the end of this century.

9. Require corporations with more than 10,000 employees to restructure their board of directors so that 50% of its members are elected by the company’s workers. We can never have a real democracy as long as most people have no say in what happens at the place they spend most of their time: their job. (For any U.S. businesspeople freaking out at this idea because you think workers can't run a successful company: Germany has a law like this and it has helped to make Germany the world’s leading manufacturing exporter.)

10. We, the people, must pass three constitutional amendments that will go a long way toward fixing the core problems we now have. These include:

a) A constitutional amendment that fixes our broken electoral system by 1) completely removing campaign contributions from the political process; 2) requiring all elections to be publicly financed; 3) moving election day to the weekend to increase voter turnout; 4) making all Americans registered voters at the moment of their birth; 5) banning computerized voting and requiring that all elections take place on paper ballots.
b) A constitutional amendment declaring that corporations are not people and do not have the constitutional rights of citizens. This amendment should also state that the interests of the general public and society must always come before the interests of corporations.
c) A constitutional amendment that will act as a "second bill of rights" as proposed by President Franklin D. Roosevelt: that every American has a human right to employment, to health care, to a free and full education, to breathe clean air, drink clean water and eat safe food, and to be cared for with dignity and respect in their old age.

you feel the devil's riding crop
Get ready for the future:

The wool over the eyes "Con Job"

2011-11-19T17:33:00.000-08:00

It's very simple and here is a simple example: The "Con" locates two neighbors and he takes each ,one at a time, and tells them that their neighbor called them "a scum bag" which infuriates both to the point whereby the neighbors meet in the street and begin to fight.

Than, the con man and an associate enter the homes of both and makes off with the possessions of both neighbors while they are focused on their squabbling.

Simple huh?

Now, on a larger scale, consider that the "Con man" creates two political parties with opposing view points and pits them, one against another.

I'll let u complete the story because u can see the results of the "Con job" currently being played out on the world stage and how the Con man reaps what he does not sow.

If u happen to suspect that the creators of the world's financial system is the "Con man" u would be right and u would also have a greater understanding of the "Occupy" movement....Lalepop'

Be advised, the principles of totalitarianism are the enemy of life, if ya see something say something.

2011-11-17T04:43:00.000-08:00

totalitarianism - a form of government in which the ruler is an absolute dictator (not restricted by a constitution or laws or opposition .)

The goal of totalitarianistic leadership is to suppress the souls of it's citizenry leaving them utterly dependent upon and bound by the whims of a single controlling authority.

Fortunately, democratic principles stand in direct opposition to such forms of leadership, considering the psychological abuse involved to be beyond all reason .

That being said, it's ironic to note that these same archaic totalitarianistic leadership principles are oft times used by a family member in a democratic society, that through systematic psychological abuse of children, typified by micro management along with berating and belittling of the children in the family, results in long term psychological damage to the child, who in turn, ultimately damages the democratic society in which he/she lives....Lalepop'

"one body" is all we got and it seems to be out of Wack.

2011-11-16T22:24:00.000-08:00

The value of dissenting extremes is to give form to the void/formlessness.

The extremes I speak of are "reality/ facts/high science/control freak/father" on one hand and "ideology/imagination/ immaculate conception/imaginator/son" on the other.

These two extremes/hands are separated by a "gulf of misunderstanding" with "the gulf being as the body" to which the opposing hands are connected.

It is to the degree that these two hands operate "with" one another, in synchronous unison/as team, that work gets done by a well served stable body.

As well, to the degree that the hands operate "against" one another war gets done by an ill served unstable body.

That being said, it appears as though mankind has mastered the opposing thumb only to be confounded by the next evolutionary step, what to do with opposing hands....Lalepop'

There is the Law and than there is the Spirit.

When it comes to "Laying down the law", it best be understood that it is the law that kills the spirit of love.

When one considers "that it is Love that gives life" one best "lay down the Love" instead!

Thus the meaning in the words "Love thy neighbor as thyself there-in the entire law is fulfilled, God's law and man's law".

That being said, don't Lord over ur kids with some "set in stone" laws folks lest they be left a cold hearted inflexible control freak .

I am an independent thinker and an advocate for the the Truth, for common sense, for the poor and for the disenfranchised.

That being said, many of my posts make reference to the evils of Capitalism as it is practiced in the US.

Please don't misunderstand, "Capitalism is great", under the proper circumstances, but considering that greed is an inert characteristic of human nature, it "has to be taken into consideration" when creating financial policy.

What we are experiencing presently in our financial system is a manifestation of unchecked greed and common sense says, "Unregulated Capitalism is an evil form of government"...peroid!

"Regulated Capitalism is a virtuous function of thoughtful government", though Evil would have us believe otherwise. ...Lalepop'

Everything is ONE thing and that truth can be seen most vividly at this point in time as Human nature and Mother nature continue to reflect one another.
This means, as one has becomes more violent and oppresive, so too does the other.
The extent of the human beings influence is in the arena of human nature, meaning should the human beings "choose" to express the positive/ bright side of their nature, mother nature will follow suit or on the other hand,  if mankind continues to escalate in the expression of his negative nature, so to the effects of mother nature's negative side will continue to escalate.
As u can see most vividly at this point, the future is truly in mankind's hands but unfortunately select members of the human race and those who follow blindly continue to go negative on the world stage giving mother nature no choice but to go negative in return.
This relationship between man and nature has always existed but the mind of man has not been able to comprehend it on a substantial scale as we and the world continue in a downward  spiral of birth to death rather than birth to life.
Mankind has  once again chosen the wrong path by following the ill tempered dark minded among the family of man.
The negative choices seen by the likes of Egyptian leadership, the American Neocon movement or Chinese oppression, along with the weather, is a very bad sign of things to come for the reason I just illustrated.
All is One!

The battle between sense and nonsense.

Nonsense says, "Control the people and free up the markets" while sense says, "Free up the people and control the markets".
Lets hope our better sense prevails!...Lalepop'

Teacher interns, edit of previous post.

As far as I'm concerned most teachers would make better teacher interns than teachers and thus make less money than the teacher.
I would far rather see a class of sixty students headed by a teacher and two interns than a unionized system of teachers where the mediocre/interns receive both pay and tenure equal to the accomplished teacher.

Studies have indicated that 10,000 hours/5yrs of real world work experience is necessary to bring about a skilled professional.
