Displaying 0 To 0 Of 0 Comments Such an intuitive and elegant way to illustrate the conundrum of evolutionary existence ‘tusie. You magnificently bring it all together. We know by quantum mechanics that we must place the human as part of the system and not separate from it. Evolution is just one example of a scientific system which has been devised by humans as they exist as the impartial observers. There is a danger in this thinking because it not only continues the hubris that is wont in humanity but is closed-minded. We may have traditionally seen evolution as having a beginning, an origin back in time, but in fact it may be looked at from the opposite end: that the end result is influencing how things progress. An analogy might be how cells organize into tissues and organs and ultimately the body. For that matter, it could be seen as having no origin OR end. Furthermore, some of the “instantaneous” meaningful phrases of life can be due to quantum evolution, where transitional phrases like “See Gazing into Jack Spot, eyes Prince run mused” are unstable and don’t last long. » Posted By Questinia On January 8, 2011 @ 7:38 am I know this may sound doltish. But these sisters need to become poster children of America. If outrage doesn’t get livened up with this than we are really checked out as a nation. » Posted By Questinia On January 6, 2011 @ 5:12 am Mid-Atlantic Trip Part 14: For Art’s Sake I’ve looked at these photographs with your narrative several times over the past couple of days. You curated a very nice assemblage of pieces, Khirad. It felt like we were with you on the trip. » Posted By Questinia On January 6, 2011 @ 5:04 am The culture of “yes” is what got us into this financial mess. People who saw the potential for disaster and who recommended saying “no” were either not listened to or fired. » Posted By Questinia On January 4, 2011 @ 9:00 pm Happy Anniversary, Oh Planet Plenipotentiary! Stilettos make all the difference. Include a feather and you’re golden! » Posted By Questinia On January 5, 2011 @ 6:40 pm I was in college not a real hooker! 😳 » Posted By Questinia On January 5, 2011 @ 6:38 pm Kes, what a great story! I have a similar one. I walk into a bar in a mini-skirt and stilettos looking like a complete hooker. The bouncer literally takes me by the hand, sits me down by a table asks me what I’m doing, I tell him, he says “Naw not good enough. You and I are both going to medical school”. Turns out he was a 4.0 student with a double major in abstract mathematics and computer science. I said OK. We studied together, took the MCAT’s. Both got in but attended different schools. Twas the hooker look that got me cookin’ with medical books. I hooked for texts! » Posted By Questinia On January 5, 2011 @ 5:54 pm I didn’t know you were an RN kes. Boy, did you guys save my lily white neophyte ass a zillion times during internship! TOOOOOOOT for bito and kes!! » Posted By Questinia On January 3, 2011 @ 9:55 pm Cher, I really try to remember! For instance, I live in an old house. With research I found that a woman died here giving birth to her tenth child (who was then given her mother’s name, Julianna) in 1825. I found she is buried up the hill in a very old small cemetery. Her headstone is very lovely, it’s an obelisk in fact. I say hi to her and tell her I haven’t forgotten. I actually had to work to find her and she was a surprise! » Posted By Questinia On January 2, 2011 @ 11:15 pm What do you all think the confetti tossers walkie-talkie each other before they throw it over the skyscrapers in NYC? (I happen to know cause I knew a confetti thrower) What a beautiful picture Cher! » Posted By Questinia On December 31, 2010 @ 4:11 pm Happy New Year From PlanetPOV! As a shrink, I’m NEVER WRONG!! 😉 » Posted By Questinia On December 31, 2010 @ 4:19 pm But we’re thrilled with who you are, Cher! » Posted By Questinia On December 31, 2010 @ 4:14 pm Maybe Some People Need to Seriously Think about Going to Church Athenian politicians believed that shrinking from controversy is criminal. » Posted By Questinia On January 1, 2011 @ 7:12 pm Boomer, I just don’t think it’s that simple. That’s what makes the guy SO intriguing. Assange is someone who is a long-time underground hacker who knows his way around the MSM. He’s managed to marry this to ethical concern for transparency in our doings around the globe and a private life that appears messy as hell. If he really WAS creepy just because he looks creepy, that would be inconsistent with the contradictions he embodies in some way. Seriously, I think he’s scared to be extradited to the US. » Posted By Questinia On January 1, 2011 @ 7:02 pm Happy New Year OG K \_ ! 😉 » Posted By Questinia On January 1, 2011 @ 6:44 pm It won’t be DiCaprio cause it’ll be [img]http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_K5ls3SJu5Qo/Sm5E-XmYrNI/AAAAAAAABN8/2myuP1-xSLg/s400/BillMaher-5.jpg[/img] » Posted By Questinia On January 1, 2011 @ 6:20 pm Thanks Cher! But you know what goes well on admiration pie? That’s right, five star whipped cream! Come on don’t skimp 🙂 » Posted By Questinia On January 1, 2011 @ 6:13 pm I also want to know about Manning’s fate. I’ll bet he’s not too comfortable. Assange seems like a smug post-modern “hero”. He has all the moral ambiguity of a Rohrschach and inhabits a quicksilver world which is as ethereal as the internet. Plus he straddles two very complex and ambiguous issues. We could entertain ideas till the troops come home. » Posted By Questinia On January 1, 2011 @ 4:34 pm I can’t say I know any more than anyone else about what makes Assange tick! However just because he looks creepy, may be an opportunist- (as an aside what does that make the Pfc and why would you give Assange more slack if he was a US citizen?)- doesn’t make him any less worthy of a presumption of innocence. It’s hard to know how someone who has humiliated a lot of powerful people and systems weighs a charge of rape even if he is certain that he is innocent. He may simply have tactically decided to appear guilty of a lesser crime than making himself vulnerable to international ire by those who can really make their ire known! I’d disagree with any hysteria and hyperbole associated with this case. Emotions will be there but one needs to be careful just how much they color the perceptions of the story of this enigmatic guy. » Posted By Questinia On January 1, 2011 @ 3:07 pm Wow! Where do I begin? 1) I wouldn’t assume anything about Assange, as the adage goes, it’ll make an ass out of you and me. This includes a flowery riff on his peripatetic HIV Mary inclinations. 2) You imply a feminist inspired delineation that sluts have it rough and roues get free passes and this is something Assange’s supporters may need to look at. What does promiscuity, moreover the issue of possible gender bias, have to do with anything? 3) You appear to think that there is a grand plan of monetary gain, and grandiose “griftiness” on the part of Assange all focused on obtaining glory, fame, and riches. Together with the assertions of #2, that is not only presumptuous but also evidence of black and white thinking that somehow our “heroes” need to be entirely virtuous and without moral blemish and our villains need to be entirely dastardly. Why can’t Assange be a potential scoundrel AND hero to whomever, in this case elements of the left, who jones for David to slay Goliath every once in a while? 4) You stand on sturdier ground when you cite the hooey-ness many on the Left levy on the sexual assault charges. The rape issue is very complex and any assumption on the part of Moore or Olbermann of the rape accusation as hooey is both black and white thinking and callous denial of something potentially heinous in the service of championing their “David”. Where you go dreadfully off course I think, even though you may just be positing, is when you write Assange doesn’t want to go to Sweden to submit to STD tests for the reason you give. Wts’ clear explanation of the extradition agreement between Swede and the US, something the press has routinely apprised us of, is certainly more of a concern to him than if he’s outed as a sexual psychopath. 5) Despite the left consisting of feminists not only of the Assange Kool-Aid drinking variety like Naomi Wolf (who gets criticized for abandoning the rape issue altogether) but other feminists who see the Wiki-leaks charge entirely through the lens of the rape charges, the rape charges and the Wiki-leaks case need to be seen as mutually exclusive. If we were to let one influence the other then we may need to look at the deeds of Martin Luther King and how his extramarital sexual conquests might affect his public persona and social genius. Conflating the two is dangerous. Similarly, giving glib motivations on behalf of other people is also dangerous. I don’t think anyone is that good a reader of book-covers especially when all the information is gotten through Kindle. » Posted By Questinia On January 1, 2011 @ 11:17 am Post Rescue and Revisit: Obama’s Speech on the Health Care Vote I agree it will be futile to reason with Republicans. Reasoning requires looking at the peripheries and relativities. Republicans are full steam ahead and practically hard-wired to be punitive and callous. They have been able to run amok, becoming a monoculture of what they now stand for, because the so called “liberal media” of corporately owned hacks have been asleep at the switch. We know this and it is repeated ad nauseaum, so I’m saying nothing new. But, it’s the futility of negotiation that I think is lost on many, including perhaps our President. At some point there WAS a Civil War. We may need another war, and like terrorism, a war that is “fought” more on the insidious nature of owning the narrative. It will be a war fought on the terrain of influence, not Antietam. I agree with what c-lady says below, people are working and there are independent news media that steadfastly report another side, usually a most sinister one. But, at least now, our pained emotional responses to the seditious acts of this party are not allayed by the tenor of the country. » Posted By Questinia On December 30, 2010 @ 4:40 pm Not have only rates gone up (but I believe not as drastically as during the Bush admin), insurance companies seem to be also making pre-existing conditions so all-encompassing that even a mild thyroid condition will get you rejected for obtaining new insurance. All meds are needing pre-authorization by the docs, even when the pt has been on them all along. All attempts at slowing down leaking profits. There will ALWAYS be an issue as long as insurance companies are for-profit. They will always move the line in the sand. No matter what Obama does. I may be wrong. I hope so. » Posted By Questinia On December 30, 2010 @ 4:15 pm Nominate Your Favorite PlanetPOV Posts of 2010! God who art in POV likes Cookie Puss ice cream, just so you know.
