  1. "this is the way things are and have to be ?" i do not subscribe to such a narrow view and i think the lessons of history show us things can change rather swiftly. 410 may have happened quite long ago. 1789 not nearly so far back. 1917 closer still.

  5. keeping on granting money extended influence and rights isnt bothersome to ya'll? we are heading back to a time when money was law and anyone who had more money could have anyone with less tossed into prison on a whim. this is historical fact and the direction we are currently heading.
  6. "eviscerates our Nation's campaign finance laws, leaving a remnant incapable of dealing with the grave problems of democratic legitimacy that those laws were intended to resolve."
  7. http://thekeybiotics.com/video_toon.html it is a commercial and also another "science" breakthru, so, buyer beware, yet it is an interesting thing to consider imo
  8. Some I Ching resources on-line

    Alex Chiu says that times must be converted to Beijing time. is this for his predictions or predictions coming from Beijing, or is this a universal thing we need to do? the pinky rings for physical immortality , anyone tried those? Eternal Life Device gorgeouspil and chi flush products as well. this may be a forum to check out and see what folks are saying. I found this quote interesting "Only Alex Chiu has the solution to a unified world, unless you can think of a better one..."

  15. Watching The Birds

    this morning walking on campus I came up behind a crow that was walking like a pigeon and as I gained on it, it hopped up onto a perch about 3 feet above where I would walk thru, it just looked at me, didn't utter any sounds. I said ah ah , the crow kept its stoic silent look but behind me another crow answered ah ah ah in the same tone I used. a couple of moments later and unrelated(?) a maintenance worker I often pass by, who never speaks, said howdy. I replied howdy.
  16. The Cool Picture Thread

  17. I want a diploma.

    i dont know anything about koans but from what i have gathered from icedude is they must be a type of word play puzzle, and the words must be used in a very literal sense. he gets that a diploma is also a form of communication but he fails to see how pictures, videos, songs or other symbollism is of any communicative use.(words are themselves symbols, but i digress) i will gather that english is not icedude's primary language and this is why he is rudimentary with his language and puzzle solving skills or lack of ability to recognize abstract thoughts/concepts. or else he is maybe 14 or 15 and needs further education and perhaps a high school diploma is what he is after. i failed myself by giving icedude credit for having a sense of humor, bad misread on my part. i also realize that he has no understanding of semiotics or interpersonal communications. i will accept that he can only be rude and resort to insults when challeged at the basic level of debative discourse and he becomes the only member here of thousands i have encountered that i find such value in his posting that he makes my ignore list(a list of 1) can someone tell me where to find the ignore button? ive never needed it b4
