Plagued By An Utter Inability to Grow

.  

By the way I would not go into a chimpanzee cage without a gun, and I wouldn’t be hesitant to use it.

"It's bit a reccomendation, it's not even a suggestion; it's just something to think about while you're mind is still rational"

"Now what's right is right - but you ain't been right yet"

"These boots are made for walking- and that's just what they'll do.  One of these days these boots are gona walk right over you"

I think one of the most famous lines using 'He never grew" was of Pete Best and the Beatles, as a reason why he was kicked out of the group.  There is a soap opera character we'll get to in a moment who has "never grown" but has the exact same ideas as a 35 year old adult that she had as a teenager.  This is a rather horrifying prospect.  Psychologists will tell you that a fifteen year old who blurts out "Dad I hate you" is normal.  But that same may 35 years years old who still tells his father he hates him- then you have a problem.  I remember one time when we were in line to see Return of the Jedi in May of 1983 and the minister's son was there and he'd just turned twelve.  I remember thinking how "buffed out" he looked, as if he were on steroids or something.  Well in May of 1994 I heard him as a man preaching a sermon and was a little horrified.  He had all of his Dad's prejudices "on steroids" so to speak, and had not grown as a human being since he was twelve.  They used to talk about loving "new babes in the Lord".  But when that "baby" is a hulking six footer weighing 280 pounds like a giant butter ball baby still dressed in a diaper, that's a little horrifying.  How there is this five year old singing a song about "I hate queers and they'll never go to heaven" and we think it's cute.  Imagine what this man will be like as an adult.  When we founded this country we did it with the idea of "growing".  So slavery was something the northern colonies had already abandoned, perhaps in part to the Protestent work ethic of New England.  Slave importing was to be stopped in 1803.  They use the term "form a more perfect Union".  They did not say "Perfect".  They had provisions for amendments.  Conservatives would be shocked at what is NOT in the Constitution.  Judy says the doctrine of "greed is good" of Gordon Gecko, takes precedence over the Sermon on the Mount in the Bible or ANY other morality.  I kid you not. As in NOT.  They believe the Constitution was a document set up by people taking refuge from the "Godless England government" into a safe haven where they would be free to set up a theocracy without restraint.  To hear these people talk, Taxes are things that are Restricted in the Constitution.  Rights are things that get systematically taken away with each passing year.  I think they would be horrified to learn the word Capitalism does not appear in the Constitution, to the best of my knowledge.  There is no provision for either Senate filibusters or Presidential "signing statements" like President Bush used to do.  The fourth amendment states that a bit part of "Security" is the idea of feeling "Secure" in your persons, papers, and effects, from government searches.  There is no provision for warrentless wire tapping or searching your Facebook page.  


This is at 3:20 in the afternoon of Monday July 2, 2012 and I don’t believe I’ll be posting today because there is nothing in the news and it may be that way all week.  I don’t know if the transportation or college tuition bills were got passed by congress or signed by the President.  Today’s talk radio fare was pretty mundane and trite.  We had white soup for lunch with a cold cut sandwich and coleslaw, with an orange for desert.  It was Nicole Sandler and I kind of dozed off in the noon hour.  On the soap opera Samantha is throwing a real fit over not knowing that Carrie was pregnant and saying every horrible thing to her she would think of, and it was coming from pure hatred.  Though she’s been pregnant four times she can’t stand the idea that her sister is pregnant once.  Of course she accused Raphael of being the father, and accused Carrie of sabotaging her marriage.  She accused Marlena of always favoring Carrie since she was little.  And Raphael did a lot of barking with no bite.  He came up with zilch against E J and as far as I can see it was a complete waste of everybody’s time to go over.  Will has found that incrimidating piece of paper,  After this I went down to the courtyard with hardly anyone there.  I looked at the four birds who were quiet and sat two chairs over from Nancy.  After a while with no action I got up and left and went back to Nicole Sandler.  Then I shaved just before three as Nora came in the room, but she didn’t stay long.

Many people have had their own slant on 9 - 11. People say that it could have been prevented, but of course it wasn't. You can't go on a Monday morning quarterbacking orgy forever. The fact is what happened is what happened. If we believe the scientists everything is predistined, including the winner of the Presidential 2008 election. It's not a question of "making the future"; it already exists. It's just a matter of waiting for it to be revealed to us. People say that outer space really isn't empty. It's just as filled with sub-atomic "strings" as the rest of matter. (This is what Astronomy Cafe states)  Scientists say this space "traps us" in time. Just to review what I consider the scientific up to date explanation of the subject, at some point twelve or fifteen billion years in the past, both space and time, as well as matter were created. There was no "empty space" in the remote past because there was no space. It didn't exist. Also there is no "infinite past" because it only exists to a finite point. (This statement I have now departed from, since I have since reasoned that if God can create Time he can also create Infinity both of Time and Space, Future and Past. - -  We now continue)  Before this even the word "before" doesn't exist, just after the last moment in time to exist there simply "is no more". That day will come. God had to "ontologically" exist because the creation of time and space is "ontologically" prior to its existance. But we cannot say WHEN God created anything because there was no Time before God created it. It would be misguided to say creation was in the ultra remote past because neither the future nor the past existed till God created them. Both the future and the past have equal reality and validity and importance to God. It's just we don't know the future, now. Perhaps some psychic, if he tunes into the right cosmic vibration can sense it. Of course if he's genuine he won't be able to change it. Nothing has any free will; it's all an allusion. We have the illusion of free will. Those who think they have more freedom are not experiancing more free will but more illusion. The Hindus say that all life is an Illusion. This is not to say that it is false; mearly that we are experiancing something that cannot positively be proven. We cannot prove whether any other being is "sensient" as they say on Star Trek, be it biological or cybernetic or something other.


In closing I'd just say I am rather "put off" by the stupidity of the average person.  I know conservatively twenty times as much about Economics as either Dr. Levy or Judy and yet I'm too modest to remind people of that when I express my oppinion.  You know I have a saying I'm trying out "If you're RIGHT about something- - then you have the Right indeed, to make a Judgement about it.  The inverse of this is that those who are NOT right, do not have the right to make judgements but should keep their mouths shut and listen.  I am put off by the sparse to non existant feedback Dr. Levy has given my writings.  One can tell like the teacher and the kid who didn't read the assignment, every time he opens his mouth he"s "winging it" as if trying to humor me rather than admit he just didn't read it.  Today the only information many get is from World Net Daily on the Internet, and from FOX news.  This is a truely frightening concept.  Nobody thinks or evaluates anything.  "Critical thinking" is one of those Commie leftist expression like "fairness" and "equity for everybody" is a communist expression to them.  And nine year old Barock Obama was best friends with Bill Ayres and he is really a Moslem who was born in Kenya because some relative states he was, according to tea baggers.  Someone tells they what to read and what to listen to and teaches that Doubt is the most Deadly of all sins.  The three wise monkeys is their favorite story- - except that they DO speak evil of - - just about everybody they perceive as "the other".  This phobia of "The Other" could one day destroy America.
