Use It Or Lose It

President Bush's performance in the press conference Tuesday morning was abysmal. It seemed as spaced out as Dr. Messina. (OK inside joke) He seemed in his own little world, more so than usual. He did talk about how market forces are what in the end rule. But it's kind of like whacking a championship runner in the knees so that he cam compete with Jr. High kids. By the time "market forces" actually cut demand for gasoline the economy will be so sick it will rival the great depression. It's kind of like sending a guy with a raging fever to the Hililayas. There are better ways to solve the problem. And Bush praised this democratic congress for passing all the bills he wants passed and is confident that they will continue to pass other bills he wants before they go on yet another extended vacation. But there is a ray of hope. Now the democrats are sponsoring some sort of "Must Drill" bill against the oil companies who least land and then do nothing with it. Apparently there are some ten thousand leases, and Senator Defazzio (???) has this bill which is pretty much summed up as "use it or lose it". Apparently even Obama is not averse to expanded dripping, in fact would encourage it, on the land. Also there are even places to the west of the Arctic Reserve that is deemed OK to drill in.

There is some new study that people who are impotent are that way because they don't have enough sex, and that people who have sex more regularly don't have that problem. I beg to differ with this analisis. So many people confuse cause with effect when they make their little deductions. Most impotency is caused by things like age, being overweight, diabetus- - and most importantly, various medications. You know the deal. In this "use it or lose it" vein, Jesus Christ in the gospels talked about the parable of the ten tallents and how the guy with just one tallent burried his and was rebuked by Jesus who said "Even that which a man has will be taken away from him". Of course now Tony Robins (?) was on TV and he talked about the up side to the coming economic recession in that it can be used as an object lesson for your older children on the value of money. He suggest people go out and look for someone less fortunate than they and assist them. Also there is the story making the rounds about a man who in 1939 just after the invasion of Poland, combed the newspaper looking for every comon stock he could find for under a dollar and he bought it, and became a multi millionaire. They say the best time to buy is when you're queezy in the pit of your stomach. I mentioned half jokingly that all of you readers out here should short oil futures. Because you never know when the price of oil is going to crash, and the odds favor that happening, since apparently, Bush and the leader of Iran are about to kiss and make up, thus aleviating that overhanging worry. What shorting is can be explained by this little story. Suppose I see my friend Sam and I say to him "I would like to sell you the gasoline in my full tank of gas, but I get the use of the gasoline still, and you don't have to pay me a penny- - - now. But I have a mandentory option to buy back my own gasoline, which I will be happy to do when the price drops by fifty percent and we settle up and Sam sells me back my own gasoline back for half the price, which means he's probably out fifty bucks.

There was a thing on Roosevelt last night. This man represents a triumph of the human spirit. Because he had polio he went to Warm Springs Georgia and developed the place into sort of a therapy retreat for the afflicted. In the process he got to know people and their problems and other worries besides polio. He would sometimes show courage in walking and desguizing the fact he had polio using a cain or the arm of another in a large croud. Apparently someone asked Al Smith "why would you support such a potential rival?" and Smith just said, "Oh, I'm not worried; the man will be dead in six months". But of course Roosevelt kept hope alive that those healing waters of the springs would cure him, if he kept his muscles conditioned.

Robert Kennedy had a few words of his own to say about the gross national product. He said that it can't measure the smile of a child or the joy of family life, or how well their children are educated, or their emotional, mental, and spiritual well being. And the things the GNP does measure often aren't all that good. They measure how many cops we need to keep down crime, and the prisons needed to house criminals. It measures pollution by the resources we need to clean it up, and it measures the vast implements of war weaponry. Even President Eisenhaur talked about how the implements of war were useless in building a lasting economic society.

Some have mentioned that democracy is doomed the moment people realize they can vote themselves benefits from the public treasury. My contention is that having a massive dependant welfare state is not the goal for any true democrat. But the important thing to remember is to view the economy of the US as an economic body. And that body is not best served hooked up to a heart and lung machine, helplessly dependant. But in this body politic being a team player is important. If the kidney competes with the liver for nutriants and tries to starve the liver out and grow itself into something massive, the body is not well served. We call this an epidemic of cancer. Some people say that if you "die of cancer" than the "Cancer won". But when the body dies, the desease dies, if it's cancer. That's how it works. They say when a Wal Mart comes into town, one hundred businesses die. This is not beneficial to society. Hartman remarks that even in nature the little fish are protected with hiding places and such. Apparently even Karl Marx in "Das Capitol" talked about how the medium sized fish eat the little fish and the bigger fish eat the medium sized fish. If one would extend this analogy- the big fish would themselves find their own food sources depleted with nothing left to destroy, much as the forests were ravaged a hundred years ago. But even in nature it's not always the biggest alpha male that rules the roost. In cattle and other herd animals looking for watering holes, the animals look at just when 51% of the animals are pointing in the same direction, and all at once the animals go in that direction, looking for a watering hole. Why I say all of this is because even Big Oil can't survive- - with nobody to sell their oil to after an economic crash. One needs to look at the economic health of the whole organism. This is what Barock Obama needs to stress.

For me this has been a jinxy week. I haven't been in the best of spirits with various problems cropping up, some involving the loss of property. Back in the old days (up till about a month ago) I might have imported writings from Word to flesh out my blog postings. I'd imagine that I will be doing fewer blogs now that I'm no longer able to do this. I think this week's jinx is connected to various disparaging thoughts I was having about psychic Sylvia Browne. Sylvia Browne has spiritual forces to protect her from people like me, and any others that would doubt her powers. She has all those people on the Montell Williams show, week after week, who bear witness. And how many people does she talk to in a day- - and have the vast majority of them satisfied with her. Indeed compared to your average Christian preacher- - she has been "vetted" much more thoroughly. She has fifty times as much talking about the supernatural as any of them do. It's no secret that- - if you read my material- - her spiritual origen is the Pliades, notibly what the Federation referrs to as "The Miami group" (after the Dolphins) She is in the same group as so many others such as Ron Hubbard, Gene Dixon, Arthur Ford, Ruth Montgomery, ect ect. As you know their metaphysical views are similar- - and they differ from my own. I would also say as to her hundred years of prediction into the future that a hundred years is a long time. In politics you can't predict out to the end of the year. But it's a prudent thing to know where your jinx comes from, so you can deal with it. I don't want to raise any eyebrows- - but certain powers have their "Ways", if you know what I mean, of dealing with Doubters. (Selah)
