[FairfieldLife] The one-word Republican campaign slogan
What do each of these statments by BillyG, that pretty much represent the Republican position, have in common? One word: FEAR If Congress grants amnesty and citizenship to twenty million illegal immigrants and they vote (some already are) that will be the end of America as we know it and the beginning of an era of Total Democrat Party Rule, yeah, and there won't be many rich left, except perhaps in government. Democrats already have 2/3rd of the National Government and California is already in the irrevocable hands of the democrats in spite of RINO Swatz...look at what is happening in California, that is what will be happening in America! . . . What happens after the democrats completely soak the rich, will there be any rich left? And what 'dream' is Teddy talking about, a congressional pay hike? In California the Dems pandered so much to the Hispanic vote that white people can barely get elected anymore, is this what is going to happen to America? Tacos for everybody..the Dems slogan, how can ya turn that down! FEAR is all they have to sell. FEAR is the only force in their lives that they understand. FEAR of change, FEAR of sex, FEAR of gays, FEAR of immigrants, FEAR of someone taking their precious money away, and now FEAR of tacos. You want a campaign slogan? Vote Republican...vote FEAR. We'll give it to you 24/7.
[FairfieldLife] Re: Teddy Kennedy's dream...
Ah, the Immigration Issue. Establishing the free-flow of illegal aliens into America was George Bush's second highest priority - after huge tax breaks for the wealthiest. Both Bush and Kennedy were aiming for the Hispanic vote by allowing illegals into America. The difference is Kennedy sought rights for illegals, Bush and Republican business interests cynically welcomed illegals in order to exploit both the illegals and working class Americans. Placing the blame on Kennedy is Republican Projection - republicans projecting negative qualities unto their opponents that republicans, themselves, display in spades. --- In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, BillyG.

[FairfieldLife] Denver and the Dems
Denver and the Dems Submitted by richardmyers on Mon, 08/25/2008 - 03:46 (Some scattered observations on the ridiculous) Since we've known the Dems were coming, Denverites have noticed some dramatic changes in the Mile-High City. Not every development has been praiseworthy; for example, in the very city that declares small amounts of cannibis a low priority for law enforcement, we've experienced the embarrassment of a City Council obsessed with illegal possession-- of urine and feces. Elected officials blame their bathroom ordinance on protesters, whom they accuse of harboring nefarious and disgusting plans. But as far as we can tell, the Council's potty preoccupation has been a preemptive pipe dream that should have been flushed at conception. There have been other ridiculous rules. Even as we've been relentlessly buzzed by military helicopters, and overflown by fighter jets, we don't dare fly our radio-controlled model airplanes within 30 miles of the Pepsi Center. I'm thinking what it might be like to get caught and having to do the hard time: Whatcha in for kid? Felonious possession of a paper airplane... All the high-level discussions about stun guns and Mark IV pepperball launchers have been delivered with assurances that Denver will not look like a police state. What a relief; good to know we've only imagined our kids had a new favorite pastime, guessing which machine- gun toting, riot-gear clad ninja turtles are Homeland Security flunkees, and which ones might be Blackwater. Speaking of which, what are all those hidden assets they keep telling us about? Are they keeping Karl Rove in reserve? Meanwhile there has been Orwellian talk of counter-snipers on the government payroll. Raises the question: to have a counter-sniper, don't you first have to have a sniper? Pretty soon we'll no longer have the U.S. Marines, we'll only have the Counter-Marines. See how the frame of reference changes? Suddenly its always the other guy's fault, no matter who starts the ruckus. We've noticed cameras on most every street in the downtown area. Surely they're just making videos for traffic congestion studies. We can take heart from the great job Denver has done in destroying all existing copies of their spy file databases, right? Hey everyone, no need to worry about privacy, Denver is just experimenting with Google- Earth in real time! And all those videos of everyone's license plates could be quite helpful-- the spouse can call the local PD to discover where you're stuck in traffic. With the DNC in full swing, traffic gridlock once noticed at rush hour can now be enjoyed at all hours... Those of us unfortunate enough to rely upon automobiles are a bit jealous when bicycles glide past. Yet bicyclists aren't so lucky; their bike locks and key-chain carabiners have been outlawed due to well-known terroristic potentialities. Better a stolen bike or lost keys than a cop subjected to that most awful of predicaments, confronting a potential arrestee who puts on her own handcuffs! But wait-- we Denverites have read in our newspapers that bicycles themselves are possible protest weapons, with the nefarious battlefield capability of blocking walkways. Don't buy that trike for junior, you'll turn him into a sidewalk terrorist! Cops have been warned that anyone in possession of nails, self- tapping screws, tiki lamps, or wooden-handled protest signs is likely a violent protester. As one of our friends observes, your local hardware store is a criminal conspiracy. Meanwhile the Dems have passed their own rules. Apparently verboten contraband disallowed in the audience at Obama's acceptance speech includes cowbells, frisbees, and shoes with wheels. There is talk of kazoos, so they may be banned as well. Do you think the Dems are practicing for when they take over? Meanwhile any major convention brings out the supreme effort of folks who desire delegate dollars. On Friday a convertible pulled into traffic ahead of me, and it was difficult not to notice the g-string adorned young woman mooning the following traffic as her partner tossed strip club passes into open windows. (I didn't get one, so don't ask me which club...) Ahhh, but the character of Denver's main drag, Colfax Avenue itself hasn't changed much; Colfax has always been the one street in Denver that never sleeps. In some circles it is declared the longest commercial street in the U.S.A., and you can find most anything on Colfax. The thoroughfare even has its own website: http:// www.colfaxavenue.com/ Well, there is one difference overlooking the strip. Amnesty International chose the large size when they opted for a billboard to get the message out to any delegates who might chance to pass Colfax and Gilpin. It is great (and to be honest, a little surreal) to see such a high-visibility commitment to a progressive cause,
[FairfieldLife] Hillary Clinton rises above the ashes/Scorpio
Is Hillary Clinton saying Goodbye or is she getting ready to rise above the Ashes? Pluto turning direct for a Female Politician By Lou Valentino Dear friends of Astrological Varieties and spiritual friends of yoga and higher learning’s, Forgive me but I need to vent which is a part of my right to free speech. If you are for Senator Obama you must be thrilled. Even John McCain is thrilled. You have everything you wanted. He say’s women should have equal rights to men. That he can unify the Democratic Party. That he can heal racial tensions in America. That the Democratic Party can win with enough votes in November. That he will stop the Iraq war in 16 months. I can forgive him. After all he is born under the sign of Leo and has Uranus, Mercury and North Node in Leo. And with Aquarius rising he wants to do his own thing and be original. Carly Simon has the perfect song for the less than positive side of the Leo man; You’re so vain you probably think this song is about you. Obama’s Moon in Gemini in the 4th house squaring his natal Pluto in the 7th shows his inability to forgive his mother. The Moon is the natural ruler of the fourth house and signifies the Mother in a man’s chart. He views his mother as being emotionally restless and unable to settle down in her life. According to her story which he won’t write this is true. The Moon square to Pluto in the 7th house of marriage shows he did not feel comfortable with the marriage choices his mother made. This clearly shows he is uncomfortable around females who have acquired power. This was the main reason that he could not pick Hillary as his running mate. He sided with his male side. The male energy wins again. Or does it? The 18 million people who voted for Hillary are not happy and her speech on August 26th, Tuesday night shows the Moon placed in Cancer and in her first house. This speech will show an emotional side to Hillary Clinton as the Moon in Cancer makes her feel personally emotional about her patriotism. America is born under the sign of Cancer. Pluto not only rules Scorpio which Hillary Clinton is born under but when it moves into the 7th house of the public it gives power to the individual. Pluto is the transformer. Pluto will turn direct on September 9, 2008 and move into Hillary Clinton’s 7th house on November 21st, 2008. On October 23rd Pluto conjuncts her natal Jupiter giving her good luck. Although the media and the Obama campaign have taken over the Democratic Party it is still the people who vote who win elections for others. Joe Biden is no spring chicken. He will not be able to get Pennsylvania and other swing states the votes that Hillary Clinton had already gotten. I am predicting that something will stop Senator Obama from winning the nomination and it’s not just John McCain. It is a combination of a few things. Legal issues of authentic citizenship in America, his V.P. choice fragmenting the Hillary Clinton voters and his inability to get the Latino vote in Florida and California. His own choices made in hast (Moon in Gemini) will come back to haunt him. I don’t see him legally on the ballot in every state. And I don’t see him being the uniter but the divider when it comes to racial issues. Obama supporters don’t care about the Democratic Party. All they care about is their own votes and anyone else who voted for Hillary Clinton is just a mistake within the Democratic Party that never should have happened. They say Hillary Clinton is corrupt. As if all of the men in the history of American politics have all been angels. What a sexist country we live in. Vote more men in and continue the tradition of war and domestic violence against both women and children. And don’t forget, when their having their monthly cycle they should stay home and god forbid they can enter a temple or church in some countries. Women can’t be leaders of religious services and they can’t chant the Vedas. Don’t put them near those shaved headed Budhists. They are lucky they can even vote since the early 1900’s they didn’t have that right. People say give it up. We don’t need Hillary Clinton. We need change in America. She’s hard, unfeeling and even women say I want a women in the white house but not her. She’s been a part of the system for too long. But - Joe Biden can take her place. After all he is a man so we can overlook his long history including voting for the Iraq war. The very issue that most Obama voters complained about when it came to Hillary Clinton. Hillary Clinton voters have a right to speak out and the cages that they have set up at the DNC for Clinton voters who speak out is a clear signal from Obama and his voters that something is very wrong and disturbing with the DNC and the party as a whole. For every Obama

You have a tendency to pass along supposed messages from people from outer space, who spell and use punctuation just as badly as you do, so I'm a little confused. Does this venting message come from Lou the astrologer who lives in Fairfield, or from one of your Pleiadian friends who look like big verginas? If it's from you, and you still don't know how to tell the difference between a vagina and a vergina at your age, I can fully understand why you need to vent. On the other hand, if this is another channeled message from the Pleiadians, what have *they* got to vent about? Aren't you the one who is always passing advice along from them, as if they have everything all figured out and are so much more advanced than we are? If they still need to vent, then why should we pay any attention to anything they tell us? They're just as fucked up as humans are. So please, in the future, can you be specific as to which of your multiple personalities is doing the venting? snip to The 18 million people who voted for Hillary are not happy and her speech on August 26th, Tuesday night shows the Moon placed in Cancer and in her first house.

You don't think it's going to make her so emotional that she needs to vent, do you? If she did that, it would be difficult for us earthlings to tell the difference between her and a Pleiadian. You tell us that they look like big verginas, and most people in America already think of Hillary an enormous cunt, so how are they going to tell the difference? Now that I think about it, would it be more embarrassing for Hillary to be mistaken for a Pleiadian or for a Pleiadian to be mistaken for Hillary? Curious minds want to know...

Bush lowered the highest marginal federal income tax bracket from 39.5% to 35%. And he lowered the other ones below that a few points as well. Hardly huge, my good fellow. Plus, he lowered the lowest bracket -- the 15% bracket -- by creating a new one at 10%. Yes, he also lowered the capital gains tax. And the dividend tax (which was a form of double taxation). If you want to employ the word huge anywhere, you should apply that word to the disproportionately HUGE amount of tax the wealthy pay in this country compared to what others pay.

Apparently he did not; instead Obama promised to send an additional 10,000 U.S. troops to fight the war. Obama selected Joe Biden for the vice-president nomination, yet Biden voted to go to war and send U.S. troops to the Middle East. So, how, exactly, are Obama and Biden going to end the war by sending in more troops? A surge? But both Obama and Biden both said the surge in Iraq had failed. Obama voted to cut off the funding for our soldiers. This is just outrageous! Biden voted against the first gulf war and we won; Obama voted against the second Iraq war and we're winning. The surge was a success and both Obama and Biden were wrong. During Biden's time, the Senate has twice authorized the president to go to war with Iraq. In 1991, the question was whether the U.S. should come to the rescue of Kuwait, which Iraq had successfully invaded. Biden voted against doing so. Fortunately, the Senate as a whole saw the matter differently, and the U.S. successfully drove Iraq out of Kuwait.

Not ONE of them was phrased positively, in terms of something positive that you hoped to achieve or that you felt would be good for America. Every single one of them was phrased negatively, as something you FEARed would happen. You talk about things you FEAR will be lost, or that you FEAR will happen. You never talk about anything *else*. Do you not even KNOW that this is how you think? For all your talk about the value of religion, you seem to have missed one of the fundamental tenets of pretty much all of them -- What you focus on, you become. You have become a walking testament to FEAR. Is this the value that religion and Republicanism has brought to your life? You want a campaign slogan? Vote Republican...vote FEAR. We'll give it to you 24/7.

I've seen this before, people suddenly quoting Maharishi years after they heard it, and not remembering who said it; it's an interesting phenomenon, as if Maharishi spoke directly to their hearts never to be forgotten. And now the Turq reminds you of these words of wisdom from Maharishi. It's a hope that all the frustrated beings on FFL simply get a cheking from the nearest rectified TM-Teacher, renew their practice and regain their Creative Happiness of Living.

And I don't see him being the uniter but the divider when it comes to racial issues. Obama supporters don't care about the Democratic Party. All they care about is their own votes and anyone else who voted for Hillary Clinton is just a mistake within the Democratic Party that never should have happened. They say Hillary Clinton is corrupt. As if all of the men in the history of American politics have all been angels. What a sexist country we live in.

I mean, it's tough being all the way over here in Spain and trying to piece together a rational view of the media coverage of the Dem Convention so far. From over here, it's like watching Shaun Of The Dead or one of those other horror movies where a large percentage of the population has become infected with a virus that makes them go crazy. Sure, I'll be happy to explain it to you. The reason it looks like that to you is that you've got practically everything about it wrong. There are photos and film clips of protesters shouting It's still about Hill! There are news pundits saying that a third of the people who voted for her are still so pissed off about the way she was treated that they're willing to vote for a Mini-Me version of George W. Bush, complete with a gotta-impress-my-Dad fetish instead of Obama. That's six *million* people who are infected with this virus. They say the same things that we first heard on this forum, coming from one of the early carriers of the virus. Obama should have made the night he won the nomination all about Hillary. He needs to 'reach out' to Hillary supporters and show them that they are somehow 'special,' that they *deserve* 'special' treatment, as does Hill herself. In fact, of course, I didn't say either of these things, the quote marks notwithstanding. (And of course, Barry never meant to suggest any such thing.) Actually, Barry made those quotes up out of his own pointy little head. Nor, I'm sure, did he mean to imply, in the first paragraph above, that I've said I'd be voting for McCain. snip I'm *hoping* that it's a virus, and that somewhere there is a cure, because if this virus really did evolve in low-life places like New Jersey and infect this many people, America is in for some really hard times. Fergit the Pay 'em off with a gas rebate so they'll vote for the retard schtick. This is more insane, more of a Pay us *real* Democrats off with attention and fawning and apologies and maybe, just maybe, we'll vote for THE PERSON WHO WON THE NOMINATION schtick. No, actually all Hillary supporters are asking for is to be treated decently and with respect. Obama WON. Hillary not only LOST, she overspent her way into LOSER HISTORY by doing so. And these six million whiners are trying to tell us that we have to pander to her and to her followers and treat them the way they *deserve* to be treated? Yeah, right. She LOST. She lost BIG. She lost *embarrassingly*. Well, no, actually she didn't lose big. As Barry himself notes (ooopsie!), 18 million people (both men and women) voted for her in the primary, either slightly less than or slightly more than Obama, depending on how you count them. It was one of the, if not *the*, most closely contested primaries in history. Traditionally, when the losing candidate has given the winning candidate a good run for his or her money, the winner goes to considerable lengths to reach out to the loser's supporters--both because it's the right thing to do ethically, and pragmatically, because the winner needs their votes in the general. And this whole nationwide Whining In Public Campaign is even more embarrassing. Only to those consumed by Clinton Derangement Syndrome (or, on this forum, Judy Derangement Syndrome) who are also drunk on Obama-flavor Kool-Aid. (Speaking of Judy Derangement Syndrome, if I had been an Obama devotee, what are the chances that Barry would now be one of those condemning the Democratic Party for having been stupid enough to nominate Obama?) snip And she's history *because* of the same virus that has driven you all as crazy as she and her husband are. It's called The Entitlement Virus. In time, that phrase will be more widely recognized than HIV. Well, no, that's actually rather low down on the list of reasons for having supported Hillary.

[FairfieldLife] Reminders
From Richard Bach (Jonathan Livingston Seagull) whose daughter Crystal Bach-McQueen went to MIU. I hadn't seen this since it first was published so many long years ago. Thanks again to CD in AB for reminding me WORDS OF WISDOM FROM THE MESSIAH'S HANDBOOK, REMINDERS FOR THE ADVANCED SOUL 1.Perspective - Use It or Lose It. If you turned to this page, you're forgetting that what is going on around you is not reality. Think about that. Remember where you came from, where you're going, and why you created the mess you got yourself into in the first place. You're going to die a horrible death, remember. It's all good training, and you'll enjoy it more if you keep the facts in mind. Take your dying with some seriousness, however. Laughing on the way to your execution is not generally understood by less-advanced life-forms, and they'll call you crazy. 2. Learning is finding out what you already know. Doing is demonstrating that you know it. Teaching is reminding others that they know just as well as you. You are all learners, doers, (and) teachers. 3. Your only obligation in any lifetime is to be true to yourself. Being true to anyone else or anything else is not only impossible, but the mark of a fake messiah. 4. The simplest questions are the most profound. Where were you born? Where is your home? Where are you going? What are you doing? Think about these once in a while, and watch your answers change. 5. You teach best what you most need to learn. 6. Live never to be ashamed if anything you do or say is published around the world - even if what is published is not true. 7. Your friends will know you better in the first minute you meet than your acquaintances will know you in a thousand years. 8. The best way to avoid responsibility is to say, 'I've got responsibilities.' 9. You are led through your lifetime by the inner learning creature, the playful spiritual being that is your real self. Don't turn away from possible futures before you're certain you don't have anything to learn from them. You're always free to change your mind and choose a different future, or a different past. 10. There is no such thing as a problem without a gift for you in its hands. You seek problems because you need their gifts. 11. The bond that links your true family is not one of blood, but of respect and joy in each other's life. Rarely do members of one family grow up under the same roof. 12. Argue for you limitations, and sure enough, they're yours. 13. Imagine the universe beautiful and just and perfect, Then be sure of one thing: the Is has imagined it quite a bit better than you have. 14. A cloud does not know why it moves in just such a direction and at such a speed. It feels an impulsion . . . this is the place to go now. But the sky knows the reasons and the patterns behind all clouds, and you will know, too, when you lift yourself high enough to see beyond horizons. 15. You are never given a wish without also being given the power to make it true. You may have to work for it, however. 16. The world is your exercise-book, the pages on which you do your sums. It is not reality, although you can express reality there if you wish. You are also free to write nonsense, or lies, or to tear the pages. 17. The original sin is to limit the Is. Don't. 18. If you will practice being fictional for a while, you will understand that fictional characters are sometime more real than people with bodies and heartbeats. 19. Your conscience is the measure of the honesty of you selfishness. Listen to it carefully. 20. Every person, all the events of your life are there because you have drawn them there. What you choose to do with them is up to you. 21. The truth you speak has no past and no future. It is, and that's all it needs to be. 22. Here is a test to find whether your mission on earth is finished: If you're alive it isn't. 23. In order to live free and happily, you must sacrifice boredom. It is not always an easy sacrifice. 24. Don't be dismayed at good-byes. A farewell is necessary before you can meet again. And meeting again, after moments or lifetimes, is certain for those who are friends. 25. The mark of you ignorance is the depth of your belief in injustice and tragedy. What the caterpillar calls the end of the world, the master calls a butterfly. 26. Everything in this book may be wrong. (The above quotes all come from the book), Illusions - The Adventures of a Reluctant Messiah, Richard Bach, Dell Publishing, New York, New York, 1977. 1.

Nearly half of America's farm workers are undocumented migrants. If they were all deported US agribusiness would collapse. The big business of farming in the US is booming but undocumented migrants are ripe for exploitation. NAFTA has forced Mexican farmers out of business by allowing the US government to use taxpayer dollars to heavily subsidize US agribusiness and export cheaper produce to Mexico creating an uneven playing field where Mexican farmers can't compete.

[FairfieldLife] Another for Turq's List
Last night I watched Anna Farris in Smiley Face which was a great little comedy that was showing on Showtime. I laughed my butt off. It's a stoner comedy so not for Shemp but Farris pulls the role off very well. The story goes that she is an out of work actress that eats a bunch of cupcakes her male nerdy roommate had stashed away for a sci-fi movie convention he was putting together. After eating them she realizes they had marijuana in them (she thought her roommate was straight). The ensuing adventure is hilarious. It also stars John Krasinski (The Office) and John Cho (Harold and Kumar). Farris also stars in a film that just opened called The House Bunny and if she has as big a role in it as this one could be very funny. The film is showing on Showtime so if folks have that check for times and VOD showings.

[FairfieldLife] Is this Kali Yuga or what?
To All: The future of humans is shown below: ** Technology That Outthinks Us: A Partner or a Master? By JOHN TIERNEY Published: August 25, 2008 SAN DIEGO Sandy Huffaker for The New York Times FUTURIST Vernor Vinge, a computer scientist and science fiction writer, at the Geisel Library in San Diego. In Vernor Vinge's version of Southern California in 2025, there is a school named Fairmont High with the motto, Trying hard not to become obsolete. It may not sound inspiring, but to the many fans of Dr. Vinge, this is a most ambitious and perhaps unattainable goal for any member of our species. Dr. Vinge is a mathematician and computer scientist in San Diego whose science fiction has won five Hugo Awards and earned good reviews even from engineers analyzing its technical plausibility. He can write space operas with the best of them, but he also suspects that intergalactic sagas could become as obsolete as their human heroes. The problem is a concept described in Dr. Vinge's seminal essay in 1993, The Coming Technological Singularity, which predicted that computers would be so powerful by 2030 that a new form of superintellligence would emerge. Dr. Vinge compared that point in history to the singularity at the edge of a black hole: a boundary beyond which the old rules no longer applied, because post-human intelligence and technology would be as unknowable to us as our civilization is to a goldfish. The Singularity is often called the rapture of the nerds, but Dr. Vinge doesn't anticipate immortal bliss. The computer scientist in him may revel in the technological marvels, but the novelist envisions catastrophes and worries about the fate of not-so-marvelous humans like Robert Gu, the protagonist of Dr. Vinge's latest novel, Rainbows End. Robert is an English professor and famous poet who succumbs to Alzheimer's, languishing in a nursing home until 2025, when the Singularity seems near and technology is working wonders. He recovers most of his mental faculties; his 75-year-old body is rejuvenated; even his wrinkles vanish. But he's so lost in this new world that he has to go back to high school to learn basic survival skills. Wikipedia, Facebook, Second Life, World of Warcraft, iPhones, instant messaging all these are quaint ancestral technologies now that everyone is connected to everyone and everything. Thanks to special contact lenses, computers in your clothes and locational sensors scattered everywhere you go, you see a constant stream of text and virtual sights overlaying the real world. As you chat with a distant friend's quite lifelike image strolling at your side, you can adjust the scenery to your mutual taste adding, say, medieval turrets to buildings at the same time you're each privately communicating with vast networks of humans and computers. To Robert, a misanthrope who'd barely mastered e-mail in his earlier life, this networked world is a multitasking hell. He retreats to one of his old haunts, the Geisel Library, once the intellectual hub of the University of California, San Diego, but now so rarely visited that its paper books are about to be shredded to make room for a highbrow version of a virtual-reality theme park. At the library he finds a few other medical retreads still reading books and using ancient machines like laptops. Calling themselves the Elder Cabal, they conspire to save the paper library while they're trying to figure out what, if anything, their skills are good for anymore. Dr. Vinge, who is 63, can feel the elders' pain, if only because his books are in that building. He took me up to the Elder Cabal's meeting room in the library and talked about his own concerns about 2025 like whether anyone will still be reading books, and whether networked knowledge will do to intellectuals what the Industrial Revolution did to the Luddite textile artisans. These people in `Rainbows End' have the attention span of a butterfly, he said. They'll alight on a topic, use it in a particular way and then they're on to something else. Right now people worry that we don't have lifetime employment anymore. How extreme could that get? I could imagine a world where everything is piecework and the piece duration is less than a minute. It's an unsettling vision, but Dr. Vinge classifies it as one of the least unpleasant scenarios for the future: intelligence amplification, or I.A., in which humans get steadily smarter by pooling their knowledge with one another and with computers, possibly even wiring the machines directly into their brains. The alternative to I.A., he figures, could be the triumph of A.I. as artificial intelligence far surpasses the human variety. If that happens, Dr. Vinge says, the superintelligent machines will not content themselves with working for their human masters, nor will they remain securely confined in laboratories. As he wrote in his 1993 essay:
[FairfieldLife] Humorous Response to Incense dangers
Science on the Edge Second-Hand Incense Smoke Poses Dangers By Deepak Bud Prakesh Mysore Times of India In a new study published in the Allahbad and Somadogud Times now shows that second-hand incense smoke poses health risks. According to Dr. Devi Svoopadhoop, Chief Research Technician at Bangalore State University Department of Science, For years we've been getting anecdotal reports of people coming out of temples wheezing and sneezing, feeling headachy, and complaining of irritated, watery eyes. We just assumed it was the dust and din of the rituals. This new study just confirms what many long-time devotees have said for years: Incense makes it hard to breath. An exasperated Debi Dubaldeep, a devoted temple attendee and still spry at 93 years of age, proclaimed, Now maybe those lunkhead priests will listen when we tell them to use two sticks instead of twelve, or open the windows, for crying out loud. This is no mere tickle in the throat. This is a legitimate health issue. A vexed Swami Dramanada, High Priest at the Reformed Shiva Temple of suburban New Dehli wondered aloud, What are we supposed to do, use Glade air fresheners, for Krishna's sake? According to the ancient texts, incense, with its characteristic thick, aromatic smoke is the best way to raise the vibration level of the supplicant and carry prayers to the highest heavens. As for the suggestion to open the windowswell, there aren't any, and it wouldn't do any good anyway. There is no breeze to speak of - this is India. Which ingredient could be causing the problem is still a matter of some speculation. Dr. Svoopadhoop theorizes it may be the inorganic ingredients used in the manufacturing process, synthetic essences used to provide the scents, or the inert, but highly unstable, methane component of the cow dung used as a binder and filler in the cheaper brands. Incense manufacturing in India is a totally unregulated industry, using formulas that have been closely guarded family secrets for generations. Many manufacturers arewellincensed at the unsubstantiated rumors circulating that their product is made largely from cow dung. We still make our joss sticks the old-fashioned way, rolled by hand, one stick at a time, using only the finest natural plant materials, exclaimed Rahni Rudra, an incense artisan from rural Mysore. I know we are only low-caste laborers, but really, do you think any one of us would willingly stick his hands in cow patties all day for 20 rupees a week? Get real! Dr. Svoopadhoop is well aware of the cultural ramifications of his research. Incense is to India what pizza pie is to Italy, what chopsticks are to Japan, what gas guzzling SUVs are to suburban American yuppies. Nevertheless, people must be protected. What good is it to pray to Shiva in a temple if it aggravates your emphysema? Meanwhile, peaceful protesters marched through the streets of several major cities in India, chanting, Reduce the dhoop! Reduce the dhoop! Save our lungs! No cow poop! Submitted by Gary-ji. © Twisted Puppy Productions 2003. All rights reserved.

I think what will most likely happen is that machines and computers will become more and more sophisticated, but the ones that will be selected (Darwinian natural selection) by humans AND by the machines themselves, will be the ones that are most in tune with human thought, and sustainable growth. This natural selection process will select for the traits of most powerful and useful to survival of the species, and those will be the most powerful overall that are capable of being controlled by human thought. The most intelligent and creative humans will use them in the most useful and powerful way (less intelligent or less compassionate humans will be less effective in their use of the machines ), and natural selection shall favor that strain. ie. Machines entirely inter-connected to thought, with new materials that can self-heal and even transform. These materials are already under trial, and human thought activated machines are already in process. The human brain will always be the most sophisticated and flexible machine in the known universe, and machines will be subserviant to that. Our machines are really just part of us, and as natural as a bird's nest. They just have not evolved to their full extent. Future flying craft and spacecraft will be so attuned to thought that they will react in an instant to thought at incredible speeds.

It's an unsettling vision, but Dr. Vinge classifies it as one of the least unpleasant scenarios for the future: intelligence amplification, or I.A., in which humans get steadily smarter by pooling their knowledge with one another and with computers, possibly even wiring the machines directly into their brains. The alternative to I.A., he figures, could be the triumph of A.I. as artificial intelligence far surpasses the human variety. If that happens, Dr. Vinge says, the superintelligent machines will not content themselves with working for their human

RE: [FairfieldLife] Re: Sunday is Janmashtami or Krishna's birthday...
Overall the only real evidence of what Jesus may have said is recorded in Greek (which Jesus himself, as a Jewish peasant, most certainly did not speak). The gospels are independent theological documents written between 40 and maybe 70 or 80 years after Jesus' death. There has been a big debate in recent years among scholars about how many of the words attribributed to Jesus in the canonical gospel accounts were probably actually his, and there is now a whole set of criteria to determine this (see especially the books of Bart Ehrman). However the phrase I and the father are One is recorded in the Gospel of John only and probably not a single word of that book (which was written around 90 to 100 C.E.) can be attributed to Jesus himself. --- On Sun, 8/24/08, Rick Archer [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: From: Rick Archer [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: [FairfieldLife] Re: Sunday is Janmashtami or Krishna's birthday...

[FairfieldLife] Ayurvedic medicines often contaminated by toxic metals
Ayurvedic medicines -- herbal mixtures dating back thousands of years in India and increasingly popular in the West -- are frequently contaminated with lead, mercury or arsenic, according to a study published today. A fifth of the nearly 200 concoctions tested contained levels of the toxic metals that, if taken at the maximum recommended doses, would surpass California's safety guidelines. [...] About 80% of the samples showed no detectable metal content. But among the remaining samples, the toxic metals showed up at similar rates in both U.S. and Indian-made products. Of the U.S. products, 21% contained lead, 3% contained mercury and 3% had arsenic. Among the Indian-made medicines, 17% had lead, 7% had mercury and none contained arsenic. The researchers and other experts surmised that the contamination had less to do with the manufacturing process than the soils in which the herbs were grown. The raw material is all coming from India, said Kush Khanna, who runs Bazaar of India in Berkeley, a manufacturer of ayurvedic medicines started by his father in 1971.

In the remote village of Plachimada, Coke's $25 million bottling plant depleted the water wells of locals. Adding insult to injury, Coca Cola also distributed free fertilizer to indigenous farmers. The fertilizer was a by-product of its production process and was loaded with cadmium, a carcinogenic toxin. Locals staged an ongoing demonstration at the plant starting in 2002. In 2005 the Kerala State Pollution Control Board shut down the Coke facility. A Coke plant in Mehdiganj has caused Indian citizens in twenty towns to face significant water scarcity with water tables dropping by 18 feet. Pesticide levels in Coke produced in India average 25 times the maximum levels established by the Bureau of Indian Standards. As a result, the Indian state of Kerala has banned the sale of Coke.

[FairfieldLife] The Best Democrats Money Can Buy
ATT security suggest bloggers talk to police Moderate Democrats are turning away Democrats, even those with press passes. On Monday night, ATT held a 'Blue Dog' fundraiser for the group of congressional Democrats who endorsed the recent bill that gave immunity to telecoms for President Bush's warrantless wiretapping program. The affair was held at Mile High Station, which is one of the closest buildings to Invesco field at Mile High Stadium in Denver, Colorado where the Democratic National Convention is being held. While delegates came in and out of the party, it wasn't as easy for approved Democratic bloggers and reporters. Amy Goodman of DemocracyNow, Jane Hamsher of Firedoglake and Glenn Greenwald of Salon.com were ushered away by event security. All three had valid press passes to cover the Democratic National Convention. As they tried to enter the event, security guards curtly refused to permit them to enter, and ordered them away from the entrance, giving few details. More here... http://rawstory.com/news/2008/Conservative_Democrats_who_backed_wiretaps_turn_0826.html Thing is *a lot* of Democrats voted for telco immunity and they weren't necessarily conservative either. If yours voted for it, give them a piece of your mind. This is just further evidence that it doesn't matter anymore Democrat or Republican their both on the same side against the American people.

[FairfieldLife] A friend of mine on impending economic collapse
She mentioned economic collapse and I asked: And what will that mean for average Joes and Janes like us? We're not in much debt. May even pay off the house. Shall we wait 'till the money inflates so much that I'm charging $1000/hour and can pay it off with a week's wages? Her response: The question is, who will have $1000 a hour to pay? My sources (which are, other than my own research, primarily George Ure at Peoplenomics.com and halfpasthuman.com, who have been accurate enough in their predictive linguistics forecasting to make me pay really close attention) says it isn't just inflation that is the problem...it is the dollar and our whole system of debt-based economy that's crashing. You read that e-forward about the crash of 2009; Ure and HPH have been predicting exactly what James describes...only HPH says it will happen NEXT MONTH rather than next year. Next year is expected to be even worse. HPH has been on target in predicting this year's record floods, the terrible tornado season, this Spring's drop in the stock market with an improved public mood this month expected to last into the first part of Sept., including the systematic collapse of the banking system which has been unfolding since Spring. They say it will all unravel quickly, almost overnight beginning late September, early October. What this means to the average Joes Janes is that the the whole system is going to go ka-put. You may think I've been reading too much UFO/conspiracy theory stuff because ka-put seems so unthinkable. I would think so too except that in doing that research over the last several years I've been following the money as the saying goes, and after enduring layer after layer of shocks I discovered that government corruption is worse than anything we ever imagined. Stuff so bad it's mind-bending. I knew almost nothing about economics until the last six months, and that was another layer of shock. I was horrified to learn that it all fit together into a whole picture of corruption. I began to understand the economic situation (money, banking, and debt) was not only going to crash, but it HAD to crash. It's a totally sick system, and it's been the average JJ who paid for it. The entire economic system, right down to money, is like securities fraud...the owners of the securities get rich because the investors are supporting it, making it look like a profit is going on, then more people get on the band wagon until everyone thinks it is real, then eventually the whole thing collapses because there never was anything of real substance to begin with. The paper dollar is like that ...it's a total fraud. Money not backed by precious metals is WORTH ONLY WHAT OUR IMAGINATION ALLOTS TO IT, so what we have is a financial house of cards based on the guy at the bottom buying into the system through going into debt. When the guy at the bottom is is so maxed out in debt that he can't do any more debt, then it's a trickle-up disaster...drying up the funding to the top. It's so big it's hard to grasp. We understand con games pulled off on old ladies, but a nation-wide one? I said to someone that I was expecting the economy to crash and he snorted that I was being foolish because THEY wouldn't let it crash. We all think that, don't we, that there is actually enough intelligence in government to keep the fraud machine running, right? We complain about the problems because we believe that despite them, there is an intelligence underlying it that will correct it and that when the problem is corrected, then everything will be fine. At one time perhaps there as some intelligence in government, but now the machine is out of control. The only hope I see is the IA course. Remember how at times the numbers apparently made hurricanes take sudden, unexpected turns away from a coast? One of HPH's few misses for serious predictions was on July 8-and bingo! That was the first time that the numbers were right both morning and evening. Since then, their predictions seem to me to be be a little shaky, such as the unexpected drop in the price of silver/gold. Unfortunately everything else seems to be moving along as predicted, hitting the predictive markers. If I add in what I've heard as hearsay that Maharishi said that when the dollar crashes, it won't be the TMO's fault, and that he had said that a nation that brings suffering go others brings suffering on itself. So all this taken together, my perspective is that I can't see how it can NOT happen that the whole thing is going to collapse. My best analysis is that rather that hope we'll be magically saved by 2,000 lightworkers, that we should follow Guru Dev's advice for Safety First, to prepare the same way one would prepare for a hurricane-board up the windows, so to speak, stock some supplies. Pray that the weatherman is wrong but be prepared, just in case he's right. If HPH, the market pundits, and my own research are right, and if you're genuinely asking my advice for what it

Lord Brahma is not a demigod and nowhere in Bhagavatam is that term used to describe His status. You should read the Shrimad Bhagavatam more carefully. I'm reading the one translated by Prabhupada. IMO, the Vaishnavites consider Brahma as a demigod because he came from the belly of Vishnu. *** This is just one of the reasons why you should discard any translation by Prabhupad and read one of the scholarly translations. Krishna is always Krishna, but when creation starts, Maya apparently causes Krishna to appear as Shiva, Vishnu, and Brahma (because creation obviously necessitates a creator, a destroyer, and one who maintains the whole process). There is no real difference in the status of Shiva, Vishnu, and Brahma, all being the play of Krishna. Prabupad thought that the sun in our solar system was the only luminous body in the universe, and that all those twinkly things out there were only reflecting the sun's light as our moon does: http://tinyurl.com/4r49ft
