Cutting off your nose to spite your own face

Is Bush seriously considering vetoing money he needs to continue to fight a war, just because there is a provision in the bill preventing the mistreatment of prisoners? I thought we were supposed to have not been abusing prisoners for a while now.

Watching reality pass you by

Reality telivision, as Chuck P. might put it, you become the camera behind the camera behind the camera. Which in the end probably makes the whole experience worth about Jack-0. How empty does ones life have to be to watch a television show about someone who used to be on television. Television was once a new invention, a wonder, then a status symbol. It became identified as a usefull educational tool. Finally, it became a new medium for artists to express their creations upon. Now it fills a void within the lives of men and women everywhere with nothing to do, but wait for something to happen.

Anyway, below I put a link to an article about another sad pointless series. If this wasn't on television who would really care, and even with it on television who really cares? Some people will, but how does it affect their lives? Well, if they live through what they see on the idiot box, they will be losing a friend. A friend they never talked to, or met or even made eye contact with. If you are willing to get emotionally involved with a bunch of lights on a screen in your living room, why aren't you willing to get involved in the real world? Why aren't you willing to take a chance and get hurt by the things that you have come in contact with. Become your own reality and you might get a chance to save a poor little Danny that you know.

Words that lead to truth

Great American leader Tom DeLay is in the spotlight, supposedly a dishonest man. Who would have thought a man wearing expensive suits whose job it is to lead people, (some of which don't have the right clothing to keep warm), might not be honest.

Recently when confronted by reporters he made the following comments.

"I have done nothing wrong. ... I am innocent,"
"one of the weakest and most baseless indictments in American history."

Now allow me to point out two things.

A. Anyone who claims to have done nothing wrong is both a narcissist and a liar. I'm pretty sure the Pope can't even claim this.

B. Just because an indictment is weak and baseless doesn't mean the crime is untrue.

All this happening in an office where he is going to be tried eventually by more bureaucrats guilty of the same crimes as him in all likelihood. At least it's a good soap opera for the American people.

In The Beginning

First one must find peace with self, before they will be able to offer the world anything of value.

In order to be comfortable, one must be secure; intellectually, physically and emotionally.

Intellectually, to alleviate fear of being tricked.

Physically, to alleviate fear of being attacked.

Emotionally, to alleviate fear of betrayal.

Without documented studies this sounds like pure philosophical musing, which it is. My next post will begin to turn philosophy into researched philosophy. Due to my bias on the matter at ask for extreme prejudice in critique my findings.
