Finally


At long last, I got back into my blog. This has been one of those seemingly unsolvable Internet fiascoes.

I was not able to get to work on my blog for several months, and when I go back, I am being asked for a gmail account. What Gmail account? I never had one. I try an unrequited 25 or so possible combinations all of which are not the right combination to unlock my access to my own blog.

I then go to google help files, which were no help and that I felt like a dog chasing their tale is probably underplaying what I experienced. Of course there is no way to contact a live person through email. I give up, but every month at least once try again, hoping the hand of God will zap my brain with a new combination, and today I hit the jackpot folks. So, for better or worse, here I am again folks.

I know that some of you will find the above amusing, and have similar experiences creating an Internet personae. Here is another amusing Internet tale.

I have these friends who question everything, but for some reason, if they find it on the Internet, it becomes the gospel of our times. I wonder how many of you have back tracked website addresses to their root to find a big surprise, at the end, about who was the source of what you were reading about.

I had one such interesting experience this week. Perhaps, some of you know the Stumble On It system, which is a browser attachment. The system allows you to pick topics to look at web sites about, by just clicking a button that randomly shows you a site related to one of your topics. Some of the things that come up are pictures often with no one to credit, so I save them to be part of my screensaver or other places for possible further use. Oftentimes, when possible, I go backwards on the address leaving off the ending after the / and come up with other pictures and the photographer--not always though.

So I come to the ABOVE cute photo, which I post here with the web address below. I suggest you go backward and see the other pictures and go further backwards to the root address to see where that gets you. This is a perfect example to look at who wants you to read what. If you are not a bit taken a back. I suggest that you look at some articles about who is editing things on Wikipedia and for what reason. All for now, but I will make a few posts to catch up a bit here. For me it is clear that, the message is not always innocent in its reasoning for the facts stated and can be just as dubious as something you come up with in the National Enquirer. So next time you want to quote from the Internet please remember the picture above.

Truth Or Consequencies

I wrote this essay as a comment to articles on the following site: http://www.becker-posner-blog.com/archives/2007/02/ One might not think so, but there is a relationship, between trans fat, global warming and the drunk driving issue. Unfortunately, I think that the problem has to do with education. These days in school, we are so afraid to step on someone's toes, so we avoid teaching morals in school, and why should we? Are you shocked? Read further. It has always seemed quite interesting to me that no one can come up with a simple means to start teaching community, integrity, self responsibility and the like to young children from their very first textbooks. I don't see that the word God has to be in there or in order to do that. All great religions teach a core of values that cross borders. There are values that are there in the constitution and the creation of America . By the way, a constitution created by people (whether or not you want to call it a dem...

So My Thoughts and Questions Are These

How long are we willing to keep looking at the differences between each other for the sake of disagreement, power and being right, whether it is easy to admit that we are doing that or not? How long are we willing to pretend that things around us are not happening, when they are, because we don't want to admit our fears, vulnerability and recognize that we are not sure what to do about things, so that we can start to face what we need to face as a nation and in the world? How long are we willing to turn away from the interconnectedness between things? How long are we willing to fight the same battles over and over again from one place to the next, while the same money could feed the poor, educate the world and preserve the economy? How long are we willing to keep seeing the problem as something separate from us? How long are we willing to keep fighting battles that are centuries old? How is that we have our federal taxes go to war, the infrastructure, and all the other things that...
