Twin tornadoes in Eastern Colorado.

Ridley Scott's new movie 'The Martian' coming out this fall. Can't wait to see this one as well as 'Prometheus 2' next year.

What is the problem with Sith Lords? I happen to like the 'dark side'.

"Went up to God"? Isn't that the problem? The operative word in that phrase is "up". God is up there somewhere, out of touch and instituted karmic laws to keep the crowd in control. More patriarchal beliefs kept alive through fear.

Is that the Alpha tapping sound that Silva discovered?

You are implying that the universe dictates ethics and morality. That has been discussed ad infinitum by philosophers with no reasonable conclusion. I see no evidence that the universe is moral or not moral.

Agreed! Authoritarian religious systems have been imposing crowd control via the so called higher cause of morals and ethics for several thousand years. To what end?

Many of the so called masters whether contemporary or ancient have disapproved of powers as being a distraction. Why? Fear perhaps? The so called warnings are; Buddhist hell realms, Christian hell or some type of damnation of sorts. Basically, one won't be allowed in heaven if powers are displayed which is nothing more than a struggle for power and authoritarian manipulation. In the conservative minds of these so called masters, power is never shared. Followers of authoritarian masters will naturally parrot whatever ideology is planted in their non critical minds.

I comprehend completely what is being discussed here. However, your narrative in general, can be middle of the road/riding the fence. Furthermore, you can state your position without the need with the opening condescending/exclamatory remark. "No, I'll spell it out for you!"

Fairly obvious? Should I do a Tarot reading to divine the hidden meaning in your statement which would lead me to the obvious?

I thought Drew would have weighed in on this by now.

The prosecutor has obtained grand jury indictments against the cops that murdered Freddie Gray. http://www.rawstory.com/2015/05/breaking-grand-jury-indicts-baltimore-cops-for-assault-and-manslaughter-against-freddie-gray/

At one time I would walk through the Jemez mountains here in New Mexico on moonless nights. Also climbing in and out of canyons with some narrow boundaries that were rock faces all with no flashlight, but relying on night vision and feel. I am lucky I didn't encounter any Western Diamond Back rattlers.

For absolutely pure amino acids I order from http://www.nutrabio.com/ which is an FDA registered lab. Aminos are sold in bulk with absolutely no fillers. I just bought 500 grams of L-arginine Ethyl Ester for 30.00. Also I just started taking their Micellar Casein which is an excellent product.

A minority of participants in this thread are advocating 'Social Darwinism' i.e, Ayn Rand Objectivism, which is contrary to how species evolve. Altruism among species/groups is the only means of survival for the benefit of the group. The selfish indvidual at the expense of the group is an epic fail. http://plato.stanford.edu/entries/altruism-biological/ http://readersupportednews.org/opinion2/277-75/10656-focus-the-horrors-of-an-ayn-rand-world Partial quote and the rest can be read at the link.

I have never heard of Qinway till now. Will you update your experiences here in the near future?

I guess his remark regarding racism directed at me does not apply?

I would suggest college courses in economics and sociology for starters. That is all I have to say on the matter.

I can't believe there are persons in this country that believe this stuff. I will not even classify his rant as thinking, which it is not. This guy is so wrong in stating that a two parent household keeps children out of poverty. Wrong! A good education and a good paying job with a future is the best way out of poverty. http://www.rawstory.com/2015/04/texas-gop-lawmaker-what-is-going-on-in-baltimore-is-because-of-too-many-gay-marriages/

http://www.rawstory.com/2015/04/get-out-of-baltimore-off-air-footage-shows-protester-slamming-geraldo-rivera-and-fox-news/ Leave it up to Fox News to propagandize.

The problem with your little narrative is one of not looking at the root of the problem which goes back to Reagan, Bush 1@2 and Clinton. If you drive through Baltimore or any other major city, you will see that the industrial base is gone. Neoliberalism and the shift of massive wealth to the very few. Think for yourself and stop expecting others to do it for you!
