Sayings And Other Observations

 Yes, you have a Right to express yourself.  That said, if you poke at a bear don't be surprised if it rips your arm off.

Your Rights end where another person's Rights begin.  If you continuously yell, invade personal space, poke your fingers, hands, feet, arms, signs, bull horns, or other parts of things into someone else's space, they have a Right to defend their space from your intrusion.  Hence, you may get your ass handed to you for provoking another person.  The only person you have to blame is your own idiotic self.

Celebrating something bad happening to others only invites fate to do it to you or someone you care about.

Humility is the realization that the person next to you may have a good point for believing what they do.  Perhaps you should learn what it is.

You don't have to be a Christian, Muslim, Jewish, or any other faith to find the ways to respect and get along with others within each Faith's documents.  Listen.  Read.  Learn.  Think.

There is always someone smarter, bigger, stronger, faster, or who caught something you missed.  Listen.  Read.  Learn.  Think.  Be humble and mindful.  It can be enlightening.

More of My Beliefs And Wishes

Equalization of Rights among human beings. It is my personal opinion that neither race, religion, gender, economic status, nor sexual orientation should not prevent you from getting a fair trial, legal representation, or basic civic and municipal services. After that, hire who you want. Do business with who you want. Do or do not be friends with others. You MUST be polite and civil. No violence just because you don't agree. Call it "disturbing the Peace" and arrest or fine them depending on severity. Have whatever mutually consensual relationship between two adults over the age of 18 that is non violent or degrading you want. If you are able to die for your country, you should get all Rights and privilege's afforded all other Citizens.

My only personal set of values I'd like to see is letting people have civil unions (documented, managed and taxed by the government) separate from church (all religions) marriages. The civil union is strictly a legal and record keeping proceeding. Marriage is an expression of Faith. If you want to get married; you will need to conform to the practices of the religion you wish to marry you. Dissolution of a partnership should be a civil matter separate from the church. If you want the church involved, you must follow their rules. That church can also choose to NOT join or marry you. It is their choice. Churches should be taxed. They should NOT be allowed into political issues or the other way around. The separation of church and State allows full religious freedom. It allows any person of any Faith to Pledge Allegiance to the United States of America; to defend the USA; to support its goals; to accept its Laws and Ordinances. Why? Because the USA defends their Right to have a Faith so long as it doesn't conflict the Constitution or Federal Law. In this way Christian, Muslim, American Indian, Buddhist, Baptist, Mormon, Zionist, Wiccan, and every other Citizen can stand shoulder to shoulder defending the place defends their Right of personal Faith. During WWII prior to the communist scare (other than the imprisoned people of Asian decent) Citizens of all Faiths stood together to defend the USA; defeat the Nazi's and Japanese. The Pledge of Allegiance: Originally written by a Baptist Minister Francis Bellamy in August of 1892. He hoped it would be used by Citizens of any country. In 1923 "the Flag of the United States of America" was added to make it focused on the United States of America. The initial adoption of the Pledge of Allegiance by Congress was December 28th, 1945. Only after June 14, 1954 (communists couldn't swear to God) per President Eisenhower "under God" was added to the Pledge of Allegiance to stop and identify communists because they couldn't swear allegiance to God. It has been that way ever since. It was also why it was removed from public schools after a First Amendment separation of church and religious freedom case. Schools have not universally stopped reciting the Pledge of Allegiance, but it is no longer mandatory due to U.S. Supreme Court rulings that protection of free speech includes the right not to speak. The 1943 ruling in West Virginia State Board of Education v. Barnette established that students cannot be forced to salute the flag or recite the pledge. Since that time saying the Pledge has gone down hill. So has patriotism and a willingness to Pledge allegiance to the United States. Something a Baptist Minister knew knew back in 1892, 22 years after the devastation and division of the American Civil War ended. A time when we needed unity and healing even worse than we do now. Just like Mexico, Philippines, China, Brazil and MANY other countries; no business, property, monies, or interests can be owned by a non US Citizen, US based company or US based entity. These businesses and entities MUST be held by 66.66% US Citizen or US controlled board AND voting stock holders. If you violate the rules of your Visa you get deported and have to reapply to get back in. The USA should have easy visa's with any country that has them with the USA. As a US Citizen, I believe in the United States Constitution. Follow it, respect it, and defend it. Understand that the United States of America is a Constitutional Republic NOT a democracy. Allowing 0.0001% to change the rules every time it flips is idiotic chaos. An individual needs defense from the People and the State. The People through a number not easily reached need a mechanism to change the Constitution to protect them from an Individual and the State. The State needs to separate the functional areas from each other. Congress from the Judiciary and Executive through the Constitution's separation of Powers. The Executive from Congress (unless by super majority) and the Judiciary (Congress by ratification of the Constitution.) The Judiciary through the Constitution's separation of Powers from both the Executive and Congress. The Electoral College guards the Executive from hysteria of a misled, or ignorant, panicked People. Term limits of Congress are called votes. Each State has the Right to vote in who they wish. It doesn't have to make sense to you. Worry about your own State. No non naturally born USA Citizen should be eligible to hold ANY public office. A person can only have dual citizenship if one of each parent were citizens of different countries. The dual citizenship is only valid between those countries. Any tax, levy, or tariff must be handled and passed by Congress then signed into action by the President. The Vice President is the President's representative and voice in Congress when the President is unable to attend. The Constitution needs an amendment that prevents one branch from abdicating or assigning its responsibilities to another branch or any other entity. There needs to be a Constitutional amendment clarifying the Second amendment. It should simply state "All Citizens of the United States of America have the Right to keep, own, use for personal defense, sport, hunting, and any other personal use of any handgun, revolver, gun, rifle, or other civilian, or military weapon that does not conflict with other provisions of this Constitution. This is to include ammunition, components of firearms or ammunition, noise suppression devices, and both personal or public land used for these pursuits. Interstate transport of any item listed in this amendment is the purview of the Federal Powers per the Supremacy Clause of this same document. No State or other internal entity of these United States of America shall infringe upon this Right. All children beginning at age 10 shall be taught through hands on and practical use the history of weapons in the United States of America and the various colonies. These educational facilities shall be set aside in each voting district. Each facility shall be maintained and managed by a military branch. Any classes past basic functional and practical knowledge are voluntary." Another amendment: "Any person who is convicted of a Federal crime forfeits their Rights for the period of incarceration or parole. Any State wishing to classify a Felony must have it reviewed by DOJ, the Federal Judicial Branch, Congress and signed by the President. Any Bill introduced into Congress must pass Judicial review prior to passage and signature by the President. Another amendment: "Any public official at any level convicted of a Felony; found bearing false witness; lying to the public that elected or appointed them, or having compromised their ethics by their peers shall be stripped of office, unable to hold a public office for Life; vote; own a personal arm under the Second Amendment; donate monies to any political organization; hold any license of Law, or partake in any interest related to the area in which they are found defective." Another amendment: "Any Judicial person found abusing their power; using their office to interfere with the lawful actions of another branch of Government or the implementation of lawful Federal actions shall immediately be suspended without pay until a review by the next higher court or review board. If found guilty or negligent; that person shall be removed from office immediately. Federal charges to be reviewed by the DOJ. If the intentional illegal action was to obstruct a lawful function that does not conflict with this document is found; they will be guilty of treason. No non naturally born US Citizen may hold any Judicial position within the United States of America." The reason a State needs to have access to reach the sea is it can stand on its own. This is Federal Law. Hence why the US Coast Guard polices all interior and costal waterways. It also prevents one State from interfering with another States ability to import and export its goods. Remember, all interstate transport and travel is governed at the Federal level for that same reason. States are meant to be different so they represent the Will of the Citizens that reside within their borders. Different States for different Peoples Will. Move to where you fit the best. Another amendment: "No voting district shall be created that violates this document or is formed using ethnicity, race, culture, religion, gender, sexual orientation, economic level, educational level, birth gender, politics, or any divisor that differentiates one human from another other than citizenship. Only valid citizen populations and the State's boundaries are to be used to create a voting district." Clarification amendment: "Any person born to a USA Citizen is considered a naturally born citizen by birth right. No person born to non-USA Citizens within the boundaries of the USA is a citizen by birth."

Another amendment: "All Citizens over 18 and before the age of 30 shall give two years full-time military or four (4) years civil service full-time or eight (8) years part-time of either military or civil service at the Governments expense in housing, training, feeding, clothing, keeping healthy both physically and mentally for the service they provide. The person will receive a minimum pay equal to the lowest grade for that branch or type of civil service. Full-time and part-time as defined by the military branch. The citizen shall choose the service (pending openings and qualifications) they would prefer. A citizen may be place in the area of greatest need by the Office of Personnel Management. After four (4) years of full-time military or civil service; the citizen's initial or supplemental education up to four (4) years in a publicly run vocational, trade, college, or university. Privately run institutions are not covered by this amendment."

No non Citizen should be allowed to vote or be counted as part of a voting populaces Congressional representation. They should be counted as a part of the population residing in a given location for the purposes of needed services. So long as they do not vote and pay taxes they can stay as long as they are employed unless under an exemption from the Federal Government. It is the Federal Government's job to manage the borders of the United States of America. Violations of our borders is an Act of War and illegal. They should be managed by the Army, Navy, and Air Force under guidance from Legislative and Executive branches. They DO NOT have the same Constitutional Rights as Citizens. The Judicial branch can only rule on Powers granted under the Constitution. Matters of policy are the purview of the Legislative and Executive branches. NO external force or entity dictates our National policy within our borders. Outside our borders and territorial waters, a country is subject to what its peers allow.

Another amendment: "Neither shall the Legislative Branch pass nor the Executive Branch sign into Law or Act any Federal budget that spends more that it brings in during the same fiscal year. Nor shall either Branch receive remuneration while any part of the Federal Government goes without funding, remuneration, or payment. The individual members of the Legislative and Executive Branches shall be responsible for any damages, harms, crimes, or injury to any human person that may occur during a time of non-funding or payment. The Judiciary shall determine if one or both of the Branches is liable for payment, remuneration, or criminal charges of negligence resulting from the time of non-without funding, remuneration, or payment. Neither privilege or any other form of negation is allowed. Both Branches are held to full accountability. This balanced budget shall be made available to the Public within twenty four (24) hours of the Executive signature into Law, Order, or Act."

Another amendment: "Each Bill shall compose of only one (1) focused topic. No Bill shall have an added part, action, proposed Law, Act, or topic not directly associated with the main topic of the proposed Bill. It shall be made available to the Public within twenty four (24) hours of the Executive signature into Law, Order, or Act."

Another amendment: "All school children within the United States of America are to have at least one class per day teaching the Constitution and the Federal functions defined herein; their responsibilities as citizens; and how to change this document so that it represents the People as our Nation grows. Educators are NOT to instill personal beliefs, faith, opinions into students. The materials should be historical and factual taking into the separations and Rights defined in other sections of this document. Materials should equally depict the different opinions, reasonings (political, economic, religious, social, perceptions, and other relevant factors) that shaped the mindsets of those times. The different viewpoints should be role played and discussed without hate in an effort to understand the who, when, how, and why the action occurred. Lessons learned and how it affected what came after should lead to the next part of the curriculum." Another amendment: "All Government direction, Law, Act, Order, instruction, document , buildings, monuments, physical objects with written words, or symbols other than historical documents no longer in use shall reference any religion, faith, or creed in accordance with the separation of church and State."

Online Dating

I decided a couple of months ago that I have been alone too long.  I need to put myself out there and see what I can accomplish.  Well, one monitoring of how women looked at me over a month told me; at least locally my chances were nill.  Even after getting all the damage repaired to me, I still don't feel women in the USA are viable.  So if not here, where?  It was then I remembered my brother told me after my divorce that all I needed to do was go to the Philippines.  I let that percolate a bit.  Then I started thinking about retirement.  Other than Social Security, I will have little in 9 years when I go to retire.  So where can I retire to that I can afford?  Unless I want to live in almost abject poverty, the USA is out.  YouTube provided loads of alternatives.  However, few had large populations that spoke English.  One country kept coming up, the Philippines.  The Philippines peso is about 56 peso to the 1 USD.  Overall costs for housing are about half for something nice and a quarter for something I can deal with.  The speak English in large numbers.  Medical care is a bit dodgy.  It is getting better.  Thailand is a closer better option for a doctor.  That said, medical insurance doesn't cost much in either place.  Food is inexpensive if you cook or eat local cuisine.  I cook and like the local foods.  Banking can be a pain.  That said, if you keep a USA mailing address and a USA international cell service the US banks normally don't cause too many issues.  That brings me to socialization.  Bonus, there is a large ex-pat community through out the Philippines.  That leaves companionship.  So, I paid for FilipinaCupid.  This is supposed to be "verified" profiles and specifically Filipina's. Within 3 hours I had over 300 responses to my profile.  This is a bad sign.  In the end after 2 months I have cancelled the membership.  I chatted with a couple of women.  All fakes and scammers.  While on YouTube, I ran across a Filipina interviewing other Filipina's about what they looked for in a foreigner and what their experiences had been.  After watching a couple of her video's, it seemed like a genuine feed.  She even offered to help find Filipina's to chat with about LDR for free.  This I thought was a scam.  After 2 months of online I figured "why not"?  I sent an email detailing kind of what my expectations were and what type of woman I thought I would like.  After 4 tries I believe it may have worked.  I'll give it a couple of months.  I'll ask questions designed to find lies and missing info.  If it works out then I have won the lottery.  If not, it isn't any different that chatting in the online forums.  I'll update as time goes on

      General IQ Score

      Your General IQ Score of 137 shows how able your mind is in general. 

      Anyone with a General IQ Score this high is considered to be a genius. 

      Less than 2 out of every 100 persons would be expected to have a score 

      this high. All known occupations can be comprehended with a General IQ 

      this high. You should be able to handle any academic challenge. You scored 

      higher than your General IQ Score in 3 individual ability categories. 1 of 

      these better scores could be called significant and may indicate special 

      abilities or that you were distracted on those parts of the IQ Test that 

      counted more heavily in the other ability categories. 

      Arithmetic

      Solving many of the IQ Test's problems required the ability to add 

      subtract multiply and divide numbers mentally. Many mental tasks require 

      arithmetical operations even though numbers may not be involved and so 

      number manipulation abilities can strongly indicate general intelligence. 

      Your Arithmetic IQ Score of 133 is not significantly different from your 

      General IQ Score.

      This score is better than 98.12% of all persons taking this test. 

      Algebraic

      This is the ability of the mind to abstractly handle quantities and 

      qualities. Persons who are strong in this ability can more quickly and 

      more deeply understand analogies stories derivations equalities and 

      hierarchical structures. 

      Your Algebraic IQ Score of 137 is the same as your General IQ Score.

      This score is better than 98.28% of all persons taking this test. 

      Rote Utilization

      This is the ability to take a set of memorized facts and mentally extract 

      and/or operate with or upon the facts within the set that are pertinent to 

      the problem at hand. Persons with more of this ability can be expected to 

      spell well remember telephone and other numbers easily be more adroit in 

      procedural operations and have a stronger foundation for tasks that 

      require the use of memorized material. 

      Your Rote Utilization IQ Score of 133 is not significantly different from 

      your General IQ Score.

      This score is better than 98.12% of all persons taking this test. 

      Logical

      This is the ability to determine if a set of rules has been correctly 

      followed. This ability is most useful in combination with other mental 

      skills listed above. Those with strong logical ability are quicker to see 

      where a given set of conditions is going to lead have a strong sense of 

      justice and better understand--from an intellectual analysis--the benefits 

      of harmony. 

      Your Logical IQ Score of 152 is exceptionally higher than your General IQ 

      Score.

      This score is better than 98.88% of all persons taking this test. 

      Visual Apprehension

      This is the ability of the mind to mentally picture visual information and 

      to be able to extract portions of that information for separate use. A 

      person whose visual apprehension is strong enjoys a richer creative 

      appreciation of visually based events. 

      Your Visual Apprehension IQ Score of 137 is the same as your General IQ 

      Score.

      This score is better than 98.28% of all persons taking this test. 

      Spatial Skill

      Understanding what changes will occur when conditions vary is a deep and 

      powerful ability of the mind. All invention and creativity of every sort 

      is based upon this ability. Although test problems usually involve 

      manipulation of objects in space persons with a stronger ability to 

      spatially manipulate can also be expected to use this ability to be able 

      to better predict how social and psychological situations would change due 

      to variation. 

      Your Spatial Manipulation Skill IQ Score of 144 is not significantly 

      different from your General IQ Score.

      This score is better than 98.56% of all persons taking this test. 

      Intuition

      Intuition is defined as that ability of the mind to develop answers to 

      questions without consciously dealing with the problem at hand. Often a 

      question will provoke a mind to answer without using conscious processing 

      time and the answer is said to come out of the blue or suddenly it just 

      struck me. Of all the many abilities of the mind this is one of the most 

      often used. Just knowing what to do is often an automatic process that 

      occurs without much figuring out consciously happening. Those with 

      stronger intuition make less mistakes and can seem luckier wiser or more 

      mature. 

      Your Intuition IQ Score of 140 is not significantly different from your 

      General IQ Score.

      This score is better than 98.40% of all persons taking this test. 

      General Knowledge

      Knowledge that is casually picked up and remembered can indicate 

      intelligence because persons with higher intelligence will exhibit greater 

      retention of those pieces of information that are encountered less often. 

      Because higher intelligence allows a person to have a deeper appreciation 

      of the connectivity of facts that may seem disparate to others of lesser 

      intelligence memory of such facts becomes easier. 

      Your General Knowledge IQ Score of 137 is the same as your General IQ 

      Score.

      This score is better than 98.28% of all persons taking this test. 

      Vocabulary

      Knowing the meaning of words is an ability that directly increases along 

      with the increase of general intelligence. The meaning of a word is more 

      easily remembered with higher intelligence because it takes more 

      intelligence to understand and correctly use words based upon the subtle 

      differences between words with similar meanings and to comprehend 

      difficult concepts which are sometimes symbolized by a single word. 

      Your Vocabulary IQ Score of 137 is the same as your General IQ Score.

      This score is better than 98.28% of all persons taking this test. 

      Short Term Memory

      The ability to remember things for a short period of time allows the mind 

      to check back and retrieve facts needed to complete a problem solving 

      operation. This ability becomes more critical when problems have many 

      aspects that need consideration and/or need to be solved mentally. This 

      ability strongly determines how efficiently one handles the many aspects 

      of normal life. If your short term memory ability is strong you are much 

      less likely to seem inattentive or slow to get it to others. 

      Your Short Term Memory IQ Score of 133 is not significantly different from 

      your General IQ Score.

      This score is better than 98.12% of all persons taking this test. 

      Spelling

      The ability to spell can indicate general intelligence. Remembering a set 

      sequence of letters indicates the mind's ability to retrieve remembered 

      facts. Learning how to spell and use the words of a language is almost a 

      complete IQ test in itself. Although poor spellers with high IQ scores can 

      be found it is rare and in general--everything else being equal--the 

      better spellers have higher IQ scores. 

      Your Spelling IQ Score of 133 is not significantly different from your 

      General IQ Score.

      This score is better than 98.12% of all persons taking this test. 

      Geometric

      How well one can comprehend geometric relationships of lines sides planes 

      angles and topological properties strongly determines one's ability to 

      make sense of visual information. The strength of one's geometric ability 

      can strongly determine how quickly knowledge can be absorbed if it is 

      presented visually. 

      Your Geometric IQ Score of 129 is not significantly different from your 

      General IQ Score.

      This score is better than 96.80% of all persons taking this test. 

      Computational Speed

      If you can correctly solve a variety of problems faster than another 

      person you may be demonstrating a generally more orderly internal 

      arrangement of your mind's problem solving methods. While speed cannot be 

      the sole factor in determining overall superiority in mental tasks in 

      general faster computational speed will often indicate that a problem's 

      comprehension was more complete. With everything else being equal a person 

      with faster computational speed will be better at tasks that require the 

      synthesis of many bits of information. 

      Your Computational Speed IQ Score of 132 is not significantly different 

      from your General IQ Score.

      This score is better than 98.08% of all persons taking this test.

2004-05-19 Where Do We Start?

 

Where Do We Start?

 

 

The understandings are few,

To comprehend the feelings of others unobtainable,

Truth

 

To hear another,

To feel another’s feelings,

To see with another’s eyes,

Pale

 

Things taken for granted,

Not appreciated or understood

Small deemed important

Large shuffled away, out of sight

Fact

 

Value

Honor

Integrity

Love?

All for sale,

Pain

 

Let us think for a moment

The Truth is not what the comfortable wish to see

People can only have a Pale experience compared to the real event

Fact is, facts are convenient to the powerful went it suits them

Pain is the result of greed, indifference, passivity, lust, envy and plain old hate

Only Love can open eyes, clear vision and bring the understanding of life’s lessons

 

Lets start at the beginning,

Love

I believe that the U.S.A. should not buy any fuel from foreign nations. 

I believe if the cost of energy rises by the demand created by not buying foreign fuels then the U.S. citizens will change the way the use energy.

I am favor of mandatory public service or military service by all persons living in the U.S.A. for a period of 2 to 5 years depending on service chosen.

I believe that our G.N.P. should be mandated 2 units sold to other countries to any 1 unit bought.

I believe power, roads, the cost of basic items needed for family survival, pollution, natural resource use and health care should be regulated and monitored by the Federal Government.

2002-06-06 To Those I Love And Those Who Love Me

 

To Those I Love
And
Those Who Love Me

When I am gone

Release me

Let me go

I have so many things to see and do

Don’t tie yourself to me in tears

Be happy that we had so many years

 

I gave you my love

You can only guess how much you gave me in happiness

I thank you for the love you each have shown

But

Now it is time I traveled on alone

 

So, grieve a while for me

If grieve you must

Then let your grief be comforted by trust

It’s only for a little while that we must part

So, bless the memories within your heart

 

I won’t be far away

For life goes on

So, if you need me

Call

And I will come

Though you can’t see or touch me

I’ll be near

And

If you listen with your heart

You’ll hear my love all around you

Soft and clear

 

And then

When you must come this way alone

I’ll great you with a smile

And say

Welcome Home
