Why eat Beets anyway?


facebook response to a post concerning eating beets:


Monkeys never ate beets or most vegetables. Our physiology is not really designed for green vegetables. Stick with fruits and nuts and leave the vegetables to the gourmands. 

I have to laugh, because I think that when most people quit eating meat, they say, "Well, WHAT shall we cook NOW? Vegetables?" I say -- Why cook anything? Just eat fruit and nuts and be as healthy as you can be. Don't even sit at a table or use a plate. Just eat, and get back to your fun life.

For the lonely, the lost, and the forgotten

Youtube comment on the video "Silent Night"

For the lonely, the lost and the forgotten. There is no justice, peace, or love on Earth except that which you hold in your own heart. The world will always disappoint you, but you can learn to not disappoint yourself. In the end, all that matters is if you yourself treat others the way that you yourself wish to be treated. Don't be stupid. Don't be mean. But try to be true and authentic. Follow your heart. Peace.

America is a Prison

Facebook comments on the prison system in the USA:

With only 6% of the World's population, the USA houses 25% of the prisoners. An average of 10% of the population is in prison, the legal system, or on parole.

There was a "for profit" prison for juvenile offenders in Wisconsin that was closed due to corruption. The prison officials were bribing the local judges to hand out extremely long prison sentences for trivial offences. Children were getting eight to ten years for shoplifting and similar crimes. This is the truth. "Capitalism is anti human"

4% inflation rate is planned

Facebook response to a comment on consumer debt:

This is also why we have a 4% inflation rate. This inflation rate is designed and planned by the Federal Government and the Central Bank. The reason is that ordinary people cannot make accurate "back of the envelope" calculations of cost and return, if there is an interest rate AND the currency is being devalued due to inflation at the same time. Ordinary people are bound to make mistakes and the banks with the computers can take advantage of those errors. This is not an accident. The inflation rate is planned so that ordinary people can be more easily taken advantage of. TRUTH.

What's for dinner?

I am surprised that when I rarely eat animal food products my sense of smell and taste actually change. I was astounded when, a number of years ago, I went to play piano at a Christmas party and when I arrived, the house stunk like some unholy death. Being naturally polite and sociable, I didn't say anything but chatted politely until I started playing piano. The whole event struck me as very peculiar until I finally realized that what I was smelling was the turkey cooking in the oven. I was astounded that I remembered the smell of turkey as pleasant and yet this was ghastly and putrid. And yet everybody seemed to be pleasantly enjoying themselves, so the food wasn't poisoned. To this day the smell of cooking turkey is unpleasant to me. Strange.

The ten thousand year dark ages of man

youtube comment on global warming prevention:

It is already too late. Prepare for doom and be thankful for the good time you had so far. You will probably die before the worst repercussions become obvious, but we are entering the ten thousand year dark ages.  Global warming will continue and the Earth will be returned to the state of a  "tropical hothouse" in once was in Pre Cambrian times.  The Equatorial regions will become uninhabitable for humans and there descendants will have migrated to Antarctica. All the polar ice will be melted and the oceans will rise four hundred feet. Every major city on Earth today will be flooded and destroyed. Agricultural and plant extinctions will continue at such a rapid rate that mass starvation and famine will follow. Life will be returned to the stone age with a few technological additions like automatic weapons, electricity, and computer drones. The ocean storms will make nautical travel virtually impossible. The destruction of the ozone layer will make the sunshine exposure deadly and Caucasian light skinned people will become extinct. Centralized government and planning will disappear and the society will reorganize on a tribal level. At the end of ten thousand years, society will have reorganized into a distributed network of cooperative autonomous groups working in harmony with the environment. Urban planning will be localized and based upon the circle and sphere. People will live in circular huts and fly instead of drive.

Happy Thanksgiving - sleeping in the rain

Last night after work, I walked four blocks home from the Metro station in the rain. On my way, I walked past FIVE people sleeping right on the sidewalk under an overhang or tree. Five homeless people sleeping out in the rain in just four blocks. This IS America. Happy Thanksgiving..

Homelessness and scholastic competition


youtube comment: In fact, it seems that we as a society are trained by grade school to be unconcerned about our neighbors well being because we are all in a scholastic competition and cannot help each other. This behavioral ideal is so well inculcated in American children that as adults, they could care less about anyone who is suffering or impoverished. That is the only possible explanation why several million people live in affluent single family homes and own several automobiles while 60,000 of their compatriots are living and dying on the homeless sidewalks of Los Angeles. There is no LOVE in America.

17 Feb Giordano Bruno was charged with Heresy

Facebook response to a comment that:

"17 Feb 1600, Giordano Bruno was charged with Heresy by the Catholic Church for:
1. proposing that stars are distant suns
2. these suns could have planets of their own
3. these planets could possibly harbor life
4. communion can't possibly transform wine into the blood of Christ
For these he was burned at the stake and became the first Martyr for science."

This event occurred before Galileo was also accused. He was tried for Heresy by the Catholic Church for proposing the force of Gravity (among other things). Having full knowledge of the execution of Bruno was an influence in Galileo's reaction to recant all his discoveries and live under house arrest for 17 years. At the time of the trial, not one single academic in all of Europe was courageous (or intelligent) enough to testify in behalf of Galileo's theories. The Catholic Christian Church is the enemy of truth. Academia is not much better.

 Jesus loves you so much he commands you to be burned alive at the stake for your sins. Amen.

Tao Te Ching #12

Colors blind the eye.
Sounds deafen the ear.
Flavors numb the taste.
Thoughts weaken the mind.
Desires wither the heart.

The Master observes the world
but trusts his inner vision.
He allows things to come and go.
His heart is open as the sky.


from
"Tao Te Ching"
A New English Version
by Stephen Mitchell
Harper Perennial, 1988

Remember the Bee

Since 1960, 90% of the bee population worldwide has died off due to "toxic hive syndrome."  Bees pollinate about one third of all agricultural products on Earth.  If bees become extinct then these plants will not be pollinated.  There will be mass human starvation and suffering.

Detroit today

comment on a facebook documentary on Detroit:

Today, 75% of the single family homes in Detroit have been abandoned or demolished. NOBODY abandons a house mortgage unless their life has been utterly destroyed and they are leaving in the middle of the night, or they are evicted. This is the future of capitalism: 75% of our lives will be absolutely destroyed to provide for the enrichment of the 1% who "moved the factories" out-of-town. Just wait and see.

Bible is not infallibly true

The birth and death narratives of Jesus in Mathew and Luke contradict each other and are not reconcilable. It is not possible to make a single timeline for either the birth or death that can logically include all the events mentioned in both Mathew and Luke. If the birth and death narratives of the centrally most import character in Christianity are contradictory then the Bible is not and cannot be infallibly true.

If the Bible is not infallibly true,  it is NOT the Word of God.

Religious Freedom ?

Few people appreciate that many religions are NOT a personal choice. Some religious doctrines teach that the covenant (or agreement, or law) is NOT between the individual and the Deity, but between the entire group and the divine personage.  If one member of the group violates the law, then the entire group is punished. In that case, it is the "duty" of the members of the group to "police" everybody for compliance. One of the unique things about the USA and the Bill of Rights is that it declared the legal independence of every person and the legal rights of every individual to be free of this type of group identity and group coercion.

Obama care saved my life

Response to a comment on facebook:

Obamacare saved my life after I was in an automobile accident and broke my neck. Capitalism is anti-human. For profit health care is immoral.

This is no joke. I had the Hospital charge me $85,000 for ten days stay. They thought I was uninsured. They didn't know I had Obama care. When they found out, they dropped the bill entirely. Truth. On another occasion in the 1990's a hospital charged me $9000.00 for an emergency room visit and when they realized I had health insurance they changed the bill to $900.00 TRUTH -- 50% of ALL bankruptcies in USA America are due to health care costs. This is no joke. The medical profession is criminally exploitative.

Life is tough. Friends are few.



Response to a facebook post which said: "Life is tough. Work is not very rewarding. Friends are few as an adult. We are all trying to stay afloat. Please understand."


Exactly. I am astounded at the reality of this. I attribute the fact primarily to grade school education which was like a prison and worked to keep us quiet and in our seats. Childhood is the time for forming friendship. Since friendship is the "socialist enemy" of corporate exploitation, the grade school system was created to destroy childhood friendship. If we are all "friendless" as adults, we are easier to manipulate and exploit for profit. This is not an accident.
