Why Miley Cyrus Is Important

http://www.cnn.com/2013/08/27/living/outraged-parents-why-miley-cyrus-performance-sets-girls-and-women-back/?iref=obnetwork

"It's a damn shame that Miley is doing this to herself, making a vulgar joke out of her talents and her beauty..."

I was never a fan of Miley Cyrus, Hannah Montanna, or an pop garbage, but many people are, including young girls and young boys. These fans look at Miley Cyrus as some sort of a symbol or idol, this is only human nature. It is imperative for us as a society to examine what is going on, discuss it, and do something about it. Now, what is happening is Miley Cyrus is coming into her own and she has expanded herself to be much more sexual and mature, leaving the Disney image behind. With this transformation comes a great deal of consequences which will ripple across the continuum of society. For girls, it shows them that it is good to be a sexual object, to totally dehumanize themselves. For boys, it shows them that girls are only sexual objects to be treated as such. This type of degradation of women is very disgusting, and turns back the clock, way back to the days before Europe was civilized and the Welsh were running around naked with blue powdered butts.We as a society are descending back into tribal paganism in the absence of the influence from churches. As an honest observer of history, Europe was not truly civilized until it became Christendom.  It was not until Christian ideals were imparted to barbaric tribes that women were treated as people to be idealized and cherished. We are going back to our tribal nature in the absence of Christian ideals, and I admit that as a Jew. The transformation of Miley Cyrus is only a snapshot of western society as a whole. If we do no want to go back to the days of naked barbarians treating women as trophies, then we will have to go back to the idea which shaped the western world, Christianity.

The War Machine Is Oiled and Ready to Go!

http://www.cnn.com/2013/08/27/politics/us-syria/index.html?hpt=hp_t1

"The White House offered legal justification, with spokesman Jay Carney telling reporters the large-scale use of chemical weapons in Syria presented a national security threat to the United States that required a response."

It was about time the military industrial complex needed a new war. I have felt for a long time now we were probably going to be getting into Syria. I do not know how the corporate elite benefit from a military confrontation with Syria, but that will come to surface as time goes on. The bottom line is that we have absolutely no business in interfering in another country's civil war. It is their problem, not ours. We are not supposed to be the police of the world, period. There is absolutely no security risk from Syria, a backwards third world cesspool, to the United States, none whatsoever. The only reason why we might go into this is because our government has Muslim extremist sympathies. We trained Osama int he 80's and armed him, we armed and backed Libyan Muslim rebels, we backed the overthrow of Mubarack by Muslim fanatics, and now this is the latest adventure we will foray into with extremism. I have talked to many people from the Middle East and they say Assad and people like him are needed to keep the people in line, so the use of chemicals isn't as evil as it may seem. I just hope we do not have another Iraq, but if history is any indicator, we will be occupying Syria for a long long time.

Animals Are More Human Than Humans

I was on a desert hike today, and when I walked through a patch of land there was a flurry of an electric sounding buzzes coming from the brush. I thought it may have been bees at first, but it was some type of beetle that was sending an alert to the other beetles about my presence. I was astonished at how the beetles communicated with each other about my intrusion into their habitat. Human beings would not only probably fail to say something, but would watch and wait to see what would happen to someone else if an intruder had appeared. Animals are much more humane to members of their own species than we humans. In a wolf pack there is no such thing as unemployment as each member of the pack has a job, even the old toothless wolves serve as watchmen for the pack. In human society we toss people deemed undesriable to the side and blame them for their life problems. We are the only species that spends so much time, energy, and resources on finding ways to systematically kill members of our own species off. When lion prides and wolf packs have encounters there may be fights, but the animals do no sit around spending countless hours figuring out how to wipe every other pack out of existence. There are breeds of birds and fish that stay with the same mate for life, even forsaking breeding if they become widowed!(Talk about dedication) Bottom line, we upright walking homo sapiens have a long way to go in treating fellow people better, and we can learn a thing or two from a thicket of beetles.

No Style No Substance

I can't but help at my generation and think we have no substance. I mean it seems everyone needs some type of gimmick to stick out whether it be tattoos, piercings, or some type of crazy fashion piece. Take for example Nicki Minaj, she is just a walking gimmick who contributes little to nothing besides that. In other words, without the wigs, fake breasts, and fake ass she would be a nobody. If you take that in contrast with someone like Alicia Keys who is a total class act, then the difference becomes clear. Alicia can just use her pure talent and substance to radiate sexiness and style while holding a crowd. The same can be seen in something like Jay-Z vs. Lil Wayne. Jay-Z has been wearing Polo's in his videos since his early days, while Wayne has the tats, crazy voice, and stupid fashion choices. Jay-Z is all substance while Wayne is all gimmicky crap. Even the people you see walking around on the street fall into these type of contrasts. The person with the outrageous fashion and tattoos all over the place have little in terms of substance, there are exceptions of course but the norm is definitely what I have been talking about. I'll take a button down shirt with a part in my hair at a party and still hold the attention of everyone, so I do not need all the gimmicky crap that other people use to draw attention to themselves. I just wish my generation had a better sense of style like the gangsters of the  20th century had. The Capones and Siegels were true symbols of style. Marylin Monroe was an icon who could still hold her own today, while we have all these nobodies who will be forgotten in 15 minutes.

Ahead of the Evolutionary Curve

http://www.psychologytoday.com/blog/the-scientific-fundamentalist/201005/why-night-owls-are-more-intelligent-morning-larks

"...more intelligent children grow up to be more nocturnal as adults than less intelligent children."

Screw the early bird catching the worm, the night owl crushes the bird. I have found what I have been suspecting for a long time, that is, nocturnal people or people with insomnia are not weird or freaks, they are simply more advanced then the average human. I am a night owl myself, and find myself to be at with most people, and that is because I am simply ahead of them, figuratively and literally. The scientific literature has shown that night owls are not only smarter then people who are "normal" and are up during the day, but are very so much smarter, IQ's for people who are night owls are exponentially higher then people who are not. So, if you are a night owl like me and recieve some sort of ridicule from friends, family, or co-workers, just try to understand them. I mean, understand they are still playing catchup to the evolutionary curve, and this is literally most of the human species. Remember, you are not abnormal, just advanced.

Illegal to Survive

In this country it is illegal to survive and live self sufficiently. Think for a minute and realize that the matrix known as "society" ties you in without a choice. If you grow and distribute food without a "permit" then the FDA will crack down harder on you then a bull whip in the name of "sanitation", but the food they gives us is genetically engineered garbage. If you try to light a fire to produce heat or cook, the fire marshal is down on you. If you want to buy or sell without letting the government get its "piece", then you are arrested by the IRS. If a person tries to power their house without the use of utilities owned by the corporate-government complex, then they are arrested. Own a few guns, and the government deems you "armed and dangerous".Refuse to work with the crooks in the bank, and you are deemed not credible which prevents you access to vehicles, housing, and even a job!
We live in a country with ID cards, fingerprint registries, and now they want our DNA! With a government that regulates people to death and punishes people who dare to step away, we have a prison as a country. We are taught from an early age to just "be part of the group". It is sickening! If I had my way, I would be completely out of the grid with no social security number, no ID, no way of being tracked. My dream is to be able to grow my own food, power my house using sunlight and other renewable energy sources, and to be left alone, not alone completely by I want to be left alone to work for my living doing something I do not need a corporate puppet master backing me and be able to raise my family without the interference of the do gooders of this country. in all, it is up to each individual to unplug themselves from the matrix, and the more that do it the more the leviathan will slowly start to die.

Divine Dieting

Daniel 1:11-16

¹¹ Daniel then said to the guard whom the chief official had appointed over Daniel, Hananiah, Mishael and Azariah, ¹² “Please test your servants for ten days: Give us nothing but vegetables to eat and water to drink. ¹³ Then compare our appearance with that of the young men who eat the royal food, and treat your servants in accordance with what you see.” ¹⁴ So he agreed to this and tested them for ten days.
¹⁵ At the end of the ten days they looked healthier and better nourished than any of the young men who ate the royal food. ¹⁶ So the guard took away their choice food and the wine they were to drink and gave them vegetables instead.

I was reading the Book of Daniel last night in the Torah, the Jewish bible, and I saw a very interesting piece of advice which came to me, perhaps God is trying to help me stick to eating healthier. In the story here, the Jewish wise man Daniel who is exiled in Babylon was told to eat the king's food, the Budweiser and Big Macs of his day. Daniel did not want to eat this food, so he abstained from it, probably because it was not Kosher. Then a guard questions Daniel as to why he is looking washed up, and Daniel tells him that he does not want the kings food. Next, Daniel tells the guard to give him vegetables and water instead of the fatty meat/wine that the others ate, so after a period of ten days Daniel looks even healthier then the people who had been engorging on the king's food all along. This is another example of how moderation, self control, and good choices benefit people. The vegetables/water were much better than the meat/wine then and are now. So, I'm going to cut back on my meat, soda, and alcohol to see what benefits come from it. The bible has always proven to be a book of wisdom which has helped me my entire life, and I doubt it will let me down now.

French Cajun

http://www.acadian-cajun.com/genac5.htm
Under the list of Cajun Surnames is my last name Poirier. I knew my maternal grandmother's surname LaMothe was Cajun but my own surname is Cajun. I did not I have so much French-Cajun blood in me. It is very enlightening to learn about your heritage and your roots. The Cajuns are a very interesting group of people who the famous style of spicy food is named after. They started out as a colony in New France called Acadia where they were expelled from when the English came and conquered. The Acadian people, Cajuns, were forced to migrate down the eastern sea board where many people settled until the most famous group settled in Louisiana. The pocket of Cajuns which I am descended from settled in Rhode Island, which is not far from the original Acadian colony. I am very interested in learning more about my Cajun heritage. I have a friend who first invigorated my interest in the Cajun people after he went to a trip to Louisiana, but little did I know I had a great deal of Cajun blood in my veins.  It will be interesting to learn more over time.

Science and Evolution

http://voxday.blogspot.com/2013/08/mailvox-what-color-amused.html

There was a man who took DNA from a yeast in amber, fossilized tree sap, and he managed to make genetic replicas of it. Now, this seems to be a big achievement, however; it was found out that the yeast was pretty much the same as yeast today, in other words, it hardly evolved if at all. Some may see this as a mundane observation of a tiny experiment, and it is only one experiment by one man, but this may have far larger implications than what meets the eye. See, the theory of evolution predicts that over a large period of time that organisms change with adaptations to the environment, mutations, and spread of those genetic changes by breeding, and this experiment turns this theory upside down on its head. I am not going to argue until my face turns blue about the theory of evolution or creationism, as my personal beliefs are no contingent upon the theory of evolution, but I think we need to consistently examine what we believe to be true. I do not deny that changes DO OCCUR, rather, I do not know if the changes in genes have macro cosmic effects like evolution postulates. If the DNA from the yeast that is millions of years old has not changed significantly, then it might be time to look at evolution again, and if it cannot hold up to scrutiny we need something new. I do not believe that anyone will look at the theory because it has become an opiate for many, a religion for the godless.

Comedy, Not News

http://www.cnn.com/2013/08/15/opinion/quest-rodeo-clown/index.html?hpt=hp_t4

"It was a sad day in the clown world when a "clown" at the Missouri State Fair put on a mask in the likeness of President Barack Obama and wore a broomstick attached to his behind to perform in a rodeo in America's Heartland..."

It is a sad day, a sad day when comedy is being censured in the name of "political correctness" and not being offensive, sad indeed. This is why I no longer watch the ComedyNewsNetwork or any of its mainstream yodels, the act is getting old really quickly. The way the media panders to this administration is just disgusting, and revolting to the highest form, especially when we are supposed to live in a free country. Everyone from Anderson Blooper, to Wolfie Blitzer, and Tears Morgan, the shtick is just just ridiculous, and the shtick is defend and abate the president at every turn, there is no good criticism save Jay Leno, but his career is winding down so he can afford to deviate from the norm. I just can't stand watching this round of clowns go and defend what ever this guy does while trying to drive home the bleeding heart liberal agenda, like Tears Morgan's "Guns in America" specials. MoreSnottyNonsenseByClowns is even worse with Rachel Madcow, Ed Shucks, and Lawrence O'Bother. They are nothing but a propaganda piece for the Democrats, pure and simple. Now Fox News is also a mouthpiece for the Republican party, and that is only another evil. Bill O'Slimey, Sean Insanity, and co. will just do what ever their Republican handlers tell them too, even if it is detrimental to the country, which it usually is. The mainstream media itself is a joke, and more comedians need to que in on that, that would be a good act.

Bible Code:Jesus Was Married

http://truth-out.org/news/item/11993-was-jesus-married-a-religion-scholar-decodes-the-clues

"Take the Gospel of John. Chapter 2 tells a story about Jesus turning water into wine at a wedding in the village of Cana. It is the first miraculous “sign” he performs. Though the text states that Jesus and his mother are guests at the wedding, they instead behave like the bridegroom and the bridegroom’s mother."

As a Jew, I do no have the vested interest in preserving the traditional image of Jesus that Christians do, but as an inhabitant of the western world, I have a responsibility to understand the most prolific figure in the history of Europe/America. There is one blunt fact, and that is Jesus was a Jewish Rabbi, one who probably took the commandment to go forth and multiply seriously. Now, there was a sect of Judaism at the time of Jesus called the Essenes which had strict rules for sex, including celibacy for some groups, that had a great deal of things in common with Christianity, so Jesus may have been a celibate Essene Jew, but that is for another discussion. The article cited above goes into some interesting commentary on the gospels saying that the wedding feast at Cana was indeed Jesus's own wedding, and that this is proven by a decoding of certain symbols. There are also traditions in Christianity that say Jesus was married and had children, but they lost out to the "Orthodox" Christian church. There are many reasons why Christianity would want to hush hush a Jesus marriage. First, to control sex is to control human beings very effectively, cults do it all the time. Telling someone who they can have sex with, when they can have, and why keeps people in a rigidly narrow box, which makes them more malleable. Secondly, there is a putting down of sex in some philosophies which had a great deal of influence on the formation of Christian theology, mostly various forms of Platonism. Lastly, there is the scandals of many church officials in the Western world in Popes, bishops, and priests would form dynastic lines to pass on money and property.. The church deemed this inappropriate and made celibacy a mandatory oath. In all, controlling sex is a way controlling people, controlling them very effectively.
*Eastern Christian priests are allowed to be married, so are Protestant ministers
*Eastern Christianity has a more favorable view of sex, but alebit is still somewhat anachronistic
*Another reason for a coverup of a Jesus family would be for the protection of his wife and kids. If people had known of a Jesus family, then they would have been in dnager given the status of Jesus. We have seen what happens with dynastic struggles in the split of Shia/Sunni Islam with the descendats of Muhammed being exterminated, and the struggle of Jacob and Esau in the Torah highlight the danger of religious leader's families being known. The Apostles would have known something like this, and would seek to avoid it.

The Soul Beyond the Body

The truth is quite clear an unequivocal, and that is there is a soul beyond body. I have been investigating paranormal phenomena for the greater part of the past decade, and I have seen things which defy then laws of physics as we know them. For instance, when I was in a "ghost hunt" in a cemetery in a Nevada ghost town, I was attacked by an unseen force. Some type of a strong grip pulled itself around my throat, causing me to get light headed and dizzy. This all happened near a grave which purportedly has a great deal of activity, I surely experienced something. I have also seen objects move by themselves, such as door knobs being rattled on their own by an unseen force. My friends and I have captured hours upon hours of video, audio, and images of things which are simply from another world. I am sitting here thinking about the larger ramifications of life, and realize that there is more than the eye can see. I do not know the full extent of what is beyond this life, only various mystics have seen the other side. In life, I have not been very spiritual lately, focusing only on the here and now, forgetting what I have experienced. It is time for me to focus on just more than the material objects which are in front of me, and it is time to see the soul beyond the body.

Culture, Legacy, and Death of Diversity

You know, I went on thinking, and I was wondering what kind of legacy has my generation, the millenials, been left with, and the answer is not very promising. I mean culturally, we have Big Macs, television, I-Pods, and Lil Wayne, not very great things to be proud of. There is no sense of diversity or uniqueness any longer. In this country, we used to have Irish pride, Italian pride, Polish pride etc. Now, all these groups have been lumped along with many other groups into a homogeneous mess, there is no difference between the Irishmen and Italian. At least the Hispanics, gays, and black nationalists have a sense of unique identity. I know that some people may see these groups as extreme and in your face, but I admire that they stand for something, they simply don't want to blend in with everyone else. I struggle myself with finding something to identify with, partially because I have no legacy and partially my rugged individualism, and want to belong to something bigger than myself, something to stand up and be proud to represent. I cannot and will not stand up to represent this hollow corporate shell which is called American culture. They can keep their tattoos, Apple products, and cheap genetically engineered food. I sometimes think I live in a lost generation, and sadly everyday I am proven more and more right. It is time for my peers to wake up and reclaim something of a soul before it is too late, however; we maybe past the point of no return. Perhaps this time we live in which is marked by perhaps the greatest amount of mass conformity, it is no coincidence that culture is dead. In a word, we have sold our soul and might no be able to get it back.

Oncoming Novel

I am currently working on a fiction novel, a vampire/gothic/horror piece, which will blow anything out of the water that is released already. It will be somewhat of a reclaimation of the horror genre which has gone to the absolute pits with works like Twilight and its copycats. The story follows the story of a young boy named Nick Crow, who goes through hell and back. It will be an exciting book. Stay tuned.

NCAA Tyranny

 http://www.usatoday.com/story/sports/ncaaf/2013/08/06/report-broker-says-johnny-manziel-paid-7500/2624831/

" While the NCAA investigates a report that Johnny Manziel accepted a "five-figure flat fee" with an autograph broker for signing memorabilia, ESPN reported another broker paid Manziel cash for signing approximately 300 mini and regular-sized helmets on Jan. 11."

I am sick and tired of the NCAA and its archaic rules which penalizes players for being business savvy. The latest fiasco with Johnny Manziel is totally ridiculous. They NCAA is "investigating" him for what, but selling autographs. This is beyond preposterous, and this nonsense needs to stop. If a player wants to sell autographs, memorabilia, or anything else affiliated with them, all power to them. I don't know why the NCAA would want to have such a heavy hand with these type of things, perhaps it is just the sick human ambition for power. If you recall, a couple of years ago there was a similar "scandal" from Ohio State where the star quarterback, Terrelle Pryor, sold some jerseys for money to get tattoos. He was later ostracized, suspended, and the head coach was fired because of it. This type of over authoritarian behavior demonstrated by the NCAA is anachronistic to the utmost extreme. Seriously, it is time we let these students make money off of their hard work. The NCAA needs to be disbanded or needs some type of reform, period. It is time the NCAA changes or goes!

Let's Talk Sex and Love

Top Myths(or Truths) of Cheating

As a man, I will try to tackle these myths, that is, I will try to dispell or validate them. Let's play some Mythbusters witht eh Top Ten Myths of Cheating according to ASKMEN. This can be fun, and hopefully be a little informative. Enjoy!
No.10 Once An Affair Is Out In The Open, A Couple Can Never Be Happy Again

The website says that this is false, but I say it is more true than false, I mean, the relationship might not break over an affair, but it definitely will not be the same. The relationship will go down a very negative path, and this creates a great deal of unhappiness. I'm sorry, once an affair is found out about, the relationship can never be the same and fully recover.No.9 Most People Who Have Affairs Are Unhappy In Their Marriage/Relationship

I think that this one is false, but definitely true. One does not need to be unhappy to face the temptations of being human. A person could be in a relationship, perfectly happy, and just be greedy for more. There is a saying that goes, "Women love too much, and men love too many": and this would ring true to dispel this myth.

No.8 Infidelity Is Never About Sex; It's About Other Marital Issues

Patently false! A person could cheat in a relationship simply for sexual issues, period. A man or woman could be perfectly happy in a relationship, but still cheat. It comes back to the simple notion that humans have a tendency to think more=better, and this includes sex. People cheat for money, emotional needs, and sex, which is probably the number one reason.

No.7 You Can't Call It Cheating If Sex Wasn't Involved

Again, this is definitely false. If a person goes to hug. and cuddle with someone else who is not their significant other, it is cheating. If a person stays on the phone all night with a person talking to them as if they were a significant other, it is cheating. To share yourself with a person who is not your partner in a way that you would usually reserve for your partner, then you are cheating on some level. I mean, if you can tell someone something secret,then you should be able to tell your significant other. Again if you share yourself emotionally or physically with someone other than your partner then you are cheating them and yourself!

No.6 Affairs Are All About Sexual Attraction

This statement is the converse of number 8. It is also false as was number 8. There are things in a relationship which are beyond sex, and sometimes those needs are not met. If a person has great sex with someone, but that person does not communicate with them or what not, then they may go to someone else for that need, thus creating a situation where more could develop. 

No.5 Affairs Happen Because Of Problems In The Marriage

What marriage, or relationship, does not have an issue or two? So, the idea that relationships fall apart because of problems alone is absurd! For instance, some people may have financial problems, but still are able to make the relationship work without cheating, or another couple may have communication problems without cheating. I believe that it is a conglomeration of problems which become deeply seeded into the relationship which cause them to fall apart. It takes a lot to break a bond,unless that bond was weak in the first place.

No.4 Once A Cheater, Always A Cheater

Mostly true. Yes, there are examples of people who cheat once and do not do it again, but the vast majority do. I have seen time and time again where people cheat, say they won't do it again, and go back to cheating. I am not saying it is impossible to repent and be faithful, I am just saying that it takes an extraordinary person with great character, which happens not to be most people.

No.3 After An Affair, Kiss Your Marriage Goodbye

Again, like number 1, mostly true. If you cheat on your spouse, then your marriage will not be the same, and most likely it will disintegrate. I've seen relationship after relationship fall apart due to cheating, and that is the case on the grand scale as well. The empirical evidence backs my claim.

No.2 Affairs Happen With People Much Younger Or More Attractive

Half truth. As I said earlier, sex is probably the number one reason why people cheat on someone, so it makes sense to think that a person would try to cheat with someone they feel is more attractive then their partner, but this is not always the case. Everyone has seen people who go and cheat with someone who is far less attractive then their partner. You end up thinking to yourself that this person would be crazy to cheat on a beautiful person like the one they had.Bottom line, people are crazy, and cheat for crazy reasons beyond sex.

No.1 Affairs Happen Because Guys Are On The Prowl For A Little On The Side

Mostly true. Men are sexual creatures, and they by instinct are tempted to spread their genes to as many places as possible, just check a BIO 101 textbook. Guys will often get greedy and not be satisfied with having just one partner, the one's who are tend to be men with phenomenal character. I say a lot of cheating is just because men want to give into temptation.

Thunder,Lightning, and Rainbows

I am going to open up on a more positive note today, and that is quite unusual for me, being that I am one of the biggest cynics around. I want to sit and reflect on a positive thing to be thankful for, it does get quite exhausting to be harping on about the negativity in this world.

First off, love does exist, period. It is not a fairy tale. If love is not real, then what I have is better, it is something more than what can be conceptualized and articulated by human language, meaning the word love itself is not adequate for what I posses in life. I know all of this surely. I cannot fully understand what has happened nor why, but it has. For the longest time I did not believe that love existed, nor did I ever believe in the words "soul mate" or that someone could be "made for you". I was a pure skeptic about "true love", I always hoped it was true, but now I have converted to thinking it is true. The chances that two people from very different backgrounds who have so much alike can simply fall into each other's lap would be a coincidence that would have odds smaller than an internal combustion engine spontaneously freezing upon start up or someone winning the lottery ten times in a row, it is that unlikely. Why I am here in this moment of my life in a relationship with the person I am with is beyond me, only Hashem knows, however; I am embracing the moment and going with it 110%.

Secondly, what does the average person reading this blog have to learn from the emotional gushing I am doing now, what is in it for you? Well, I have some quick advice for everyone out there. If you have a good person in your life, a person who loves you for who you are and will be with you through hell and back, then DO NOT let that person go. To paraphrase a quote I heard somewhere, a good woman,or man, comes around only once perhaps every ten years, and a great one only comes around once in a lifetime. The person I have now IS that GREAT ONE, I will not let go , and if you have someone like that, then do not let go either. Treasure that person as gold, heck I call my girlfriend my goddess! Do not be torn apart by people who are simply jealous by your happiness, just keep fighting on. It is not worth losing a perhaps once in a lifetime opportunity because someone else, or "elses", might disapprove of your relationship, or want to tear it apart for some other nefarious reasons. Live life for you, that's it! If you are young, and have found someone who might be "the one", then dedicate yourself to that person and the building of your relationship, you will be happier for doing so. Do not let the nasty noisy negativist voices of your peers say things like that you need to enjoy your youth by drinking yourself drunk as a single person or that you are too young to settle down, they are just jealous of what you have found. If you are older, and have been through living hell with relationships in the past, then try to come with a fresh outlook on your significant other, because they might just be the person you have waited for your entire life for. The popular saying that there are other fish in the sea is only a HALF TRUTH! Surely, there are many fish in the seas, but no other fish is quite like the one you have, and if it is thrown in to the ocean of the world, then you will never get a fish like that one again. It will be gone forever. Bottom line, keep good people in your life and fight rabidly to keep them there.

When you meet someone and they shake you like thunder, light up the darkness of your soul like a bolt of lightning, and bring happiness to your life like the scene of a bright rainbow after a storm, that is the one, your soul mate. I have found mine. I pray to God you find yours and wish blessings and good fortune upon you.

The Plutocracy Will Fight

http://www.usatoday.com/story/tech/2013/08/02/apple-price-fixing-remedy/2612041/

"The Justice Department and attorneys general from 33 states submitted a remedy to a federal court in New York that would require Apple to terminate with the five book publishers it worked with to raise prices on e-books. The proposal would also require Apple to provide links to competitors Amazon and Barnes & Noble from their e-book apps for two years."

This is another indicator we live in nothing but a PHONY VERSION of capitalism where the owners of the society act like high priests and dictate the actions that occur, like price fixes. This is a good blow the to the Apple oligarchy, but this is only scratching the surface as this type of price fixing occurs with all types of products ranging from food to clothes. That type of corruption seeps to the highest levels of society,and the common person knows little about it. Apple is acting as a sarificial lamb to appease some while other oligarchs will still get away with murder. The government is only going after Apple to make an example, but they will allow others to continue with these evil types of actions. The truth is, the government is controlled and owned by the oligarchs, so the government will not only allow this type of action to go on, it will facilitate this type of thing. I repeat, this is only meant to preserve the illusion that the bad guys are being defeated, it is only an illusion, because the bad guys rule over us. Look at President Obama, who says he will lower corporate taxes and raise taxes on foreign production for an example. He is saying a good thing but he or the parties will never do it. Obama's biggest supporter, General Electric, makes billions of untaxed dollars in revenue overseas. I don't he will bite the hand that feeds him. In all, just take away that big government, big money, and big business are all one in the same.
