You're all pretty much fucked, although you don't know it yet. You're the ninja generation. No job, no income, no assets. You got a lot to live for too. Someone reminded me the other evening that I once said that greed is good. Now it seems that it's legal. But folks its greed that makes my bartender buy three houses with no down payment that he can't afford. And it was greed that made your parents refinance their 200k house for 250k. Then take the xtra 50k and go down to the mall, they bought plasma TVs, cell phones, computers or an SUV. And hey why not a second home because we all know that the prices of houses always go up in America, Right! And it's greed that made the government of this country cut the interest rate to 1% after 911 so we could all go shopping again.   They got all these fancy names for trillions of dollars of credit, CMO's, CDO'S, SIV's, ABS's you know I honestly think that there are only 75 people in the world who know what these are. But I will tell you w... [More]

The Pyramids are one of the most fantastic and indescribable wonders of the world. How were these structures built? We really don't know. How were these huge stones so precisely cut and moved hundreds of miles and then equally precisely place and constructed?  They inspire such wonder.  Some of the stones used to build them weigh hundreds of tons. Attempts by modern day engineers cannot duplicate this feat.  It is interesting that we can find these structures all over the world. They are found in places like Egypt, South and Central America, China and Southeast Asia. This indicates that there was some commonality, some similarity in the thinking of the people who built them. In reality they represent more than death. And the common belief that their builders were looking to come back from the afterlife is elementary reasoning. The pyramids actually represent a structuring of society. And this is known but not communicated to grassroots people everywhere. Just look on the... [More]

I have recently been following the discoveries by NASA of new planets and galaxies and solar systems with amazement. There exist in our universe more than we could ever imagine.  NASA is constantly discovering new planets and it is only a matter of time before they discover one with similarities to Earth. To find physical evidence that we are not alone is exciting. Spiritually we all know that we are not the only beings in the universe. But Humans have neglected to develop their spirituality relying more on the mind as a basis of reality. The foundation of the Universe is material but its essence is spirit, and the spirit is what gives life animation.   If you have not had a chance to view the Hubble telescope pictures of the now known Universe I suggest going to NASA.com and taking a look. It is utterly mind blowing to see the billions upon billions of galaxies that are in the Universe. And then to realize that each galaxy contains billions upon billions of stars such as o... [More]

It really appears that President Obama had it right when he ran his campaign on the necessity of change. Most of America agreed with him because some sixty three million of us voted for him. The other part of this story is that fifty eight million Americans did not. I dont know if that says that they are not ready for change or not. But it would seem that the policies endorsed by Sen. McCain were of old school politics and a furthering of the status qo.  Now what is to come next ? Will President Obama really usher in a new Era for America? Will the policies of this new adminisration sincerely bring about change in America, and World change? I guess the jury is still out on that. That question will not be anwsered until sometime in the future. We can only pray that they will. I am a supporter of the new Presidents ideas. But I must reserve my opinion on the preceived affect his policies will have on our country and the world. I mean, maybe the Republicans have a valid point in not... [More]
