I hated him under Clinton, but started giving him an ear because lately thinking there was some sort of wisdom achieved unlike Carville from the mistakes of Clinton, and age. So forgive me when I say ‘see this is the shit that is wrong on the hill today.’ We’ve been bent over by dems/gop that went in and joined the darkside that I am disgusted by congressional common sense, (shhhhh…term limits.) After gw I just figured he was the best the DNC can offer better than rove. You are so right about shapeshifting but isn’t that compromise, working with both sides of the isle, listening to all America, all the shit talk that pushes my buttons. This is what I love about WI and thugs like MM, no prisoners, let down the class war and the gop picks up the flag. » Posted By ghsts On March 6, 2011 @ 11:57 am Time for bottle of red. » Posted By ghsts On March 5, 2011 @ 6:26 pm Squirrel?

Sometimes I feel bad that his estate didn’t the $24, but it doesn’t bother me one bit that Borders went bankrupt. » Posted By ghsts On March 5, 2011 @ 5:16 pm Cher- Good edition, I’ve been a real fan of RR for quite some time, he is able to calmly discuss facts, stats and polls in depth. His assessment goes a long way in honest problem identification. “We are here on Earth to fart around.

Racisism is only half of the pitch, Kenya = Africa and we all know how those fricans operate. » Posted By ghsts On March 4, 2011 @ 9:29 am So true, it is classic neocon/rovian tactic to attack the person to discredit the message then deflect from substance. It is like watching the Plame strategy played out over and over cause it works. » Posted By ghsts On March 4, 2011 @ 9:23 am Mittens and Hick-He-Be, hilarious you make them sound so damn cute till the fangs pop out. Yesterday I watched Charlie Rose, thinking we might see another crack, but gop crack is all I saw. Hick is appealing to the 65+ crowd like brunch at the cracker barrel, scary nitrate filled crap. » Posted By ghsts On March 4, 2011 @ 9:13 am Changing the mental blocks to change There’s a jobs bubble I would support, “Lemon Laws” for organized Religion (entropy is a sure thing, don’t hate the player hate the game.) » Posted By ghsts On March 5, 2011 @ 1:54 am Chazmania your article makes perfect sense to me, but we all have that cognitive dissonance thing going. The pragmatists wont even allow you to bring up those ideas without writing you off as lost. We often encounter that “surely we can all agree,” to be followed by; the system isn’t all bad, it would be too painful, it’s not the system it’s the people running it, we’re better than them, it can’t be done, and my favorite ‘every day we get a little closer to making this shit taste good.’ It is stunning to me how many folks aspire to humanism but are afraid of the stigma, being seen as weak or prey. Myths and cons fit better into their packaged education and hope only to be included as the chosen ones. “Unsociable social beings” we are, lord forgive me for quoting Kant, ‘just give me more time, less suffering’. As a kid I bought into Leary’s “tune in, turn on and drop out,” not the drug fueled cliche of charlie sheen but more like ‘listen, act, dissent.’ It didn’t give me the American Dream, had brief moments of empowerment and as I loose my value as a wage slave it is scary sometimes. I know plenty of creative types that went with me but they never had the fear making rent, worry about status or safety, and most of them seem happy and fulfilled so I still have hope. Revolution at the level you are talking about can happen peacefully but for most it will be painful, change seems to be a survival tool not a choice. » Posted By ghsts On March 4, 2011 @ 1:06 pm Douglas Adams would be right there with ya KT. The answer to the ultimate question of life the universe and everything is 42. Tao Te Ching – Lao Tzu – chapter 42 The Tao begot one. The ten thousand things carry yin and embrace yang. Men hate to be “orphaned,” “widowed,” or “worthless,” For one gains by losing What others teach, I also teach; that is: » Posted By ghsts On March 5, 2011 @ 6:44 pm You can’t get “good science” with out surrendering ethical and moral, which is my point and opinion. If I write a thesis I’ll give you more, until then here’s google no 1. http://healthpsych.psy.vanderbilt.edu/2008/PrenatalStress.htm » Posted By ghsts On March 5, 2011 @ 2:12 am wts- You make a sound argument. I have studied ancient cultures that have survived and merged with western and global culture, such as China and India. Large expanding populations hindered in growth only by food supplies. They both have systemic “sadism” and embrace devotion to it as virtue in significant proportion as do we. One could select at random infants from 2010 AD and BC and I would assert have an equal chance of getting Hitler or Buddha ie sick vs healthy. No long term shift in genetic predisposition to sociopathy, but like you I believe natural exposure to excessive proportions cause a shift. Not in extinction but in opportunity for extinction. On an individual basis though I would agree that immersing yourself in sadism leads to masochism and by definition SELF destructive. Homosexual behavior by definition impedes propagation of the species by Darwinian standards but its NET effect on society and morality promotes population growth because the behavior or morality at its root promotes nurturing, caring, love, social empathy and all the social benifits of mental “wellness”. If there is a gay genetic component its revelation is a reaction to the unhealthy single family unit paradigm. The Darwinian and genetic perspective is USELESS CRAP when addressing social and causal nature of morality. » Posted By ghsts On March 5, 2011 @ 12:46 am Wonderful assessment and I have to agree, I put down my guns for good along those same lines, “killing” is not immoral by definition but by choice. » Posted By ghsts On March 4, 2011 @ 11:43 pm Cyrano, funny thing about that book is the bad kids were first indoctrinated by the Church of England. » Posted By ghsts On March 4, 2011 @ 11:41 am
The world is out to get you, better learn to stand up to it. Tēnei te tangata pūhuruhuru Nāna i tiki mai whakawhiti te rā A Upane! Ka Upane! Upane Kaupane Whiti te rā,! Hī! » Posted By ghsts On March 4, 2011 @ 11:15 am In healthy humans I don’t think there are any(but will entertain the aliens breeding with monkey theories). Seriously, I wouldn’t be shocked if they discover genetic damage from environmental toxins both physical and psychological. I am skeptical of any anthropological evidence that would try to show that homo sapiens have changed one bit in the past 150,000 years. I have wonderful Chilean friend, beautiful warm caring heart that survived torture and rape under Pinochet. I asked her perspective on equality, humanity, “is the ‘world’ any worse or better than it has ever been?” Her answer was “No.” » Posted By ghsts On March 4, 2011 @ 11:06 am PW- No correction needed, imo Khirad laid it out in the text, written in response to just your question and that doesn’t explain tattoos. We each are split right down the middle metaphorically and literally, social Darwinism has always been a fallacy. » Posted By ghsts On March 4, 2011 @ 10:38 am “Air quotes” are the spice of life to the Milgram button pusher, I can feel the dial going to eleven even now. You left out objectivism the most important moral code in politics. Two more things; where can I get a “buddy jesus” and that wonderful DC magnet of which you spoke? » Posted By ghsts On March 3, 2011 @ 9:18 pm The View From Here: An Open Letter to President Obama How do we court the mealy mouth middle? » Posted By ghsts On March 3, 2011 @ 4:28 pmComments Posted By ghsts

One begot two.
Two begot three.
And three begot the ten thousand things.
They achieve harmony by combining these forces.
But this is how kings and lords describe themselves.
And loses by gaining.
“A violent man will die a violent death!”
This will be the essence of my teaching.
This is the fierce, powerful man
Who caused the sun to shine again for me
Up the ladder, Up the ladder
Up to the top
The sun shines!
Rise!
