A Problem Is - A Lack of Moral Fortitude


The host heralded this story is the worst medical horror story you've ever imagined.  Well, I don't know about that.  I've heard some real hum dingers as far as medical horror stories.  There are countless cases of cutting off the wrong leg.  There's the Austrailian doctor who cut off a baby boy's penis accidentally in the process of a routine circumcision.  There are the cases of people waking in the middle of an opperation while they are still cutting into you and feeling everything.  This case today is a Pennsylvania abortion doctor who's been plying his trade for thirty years in unsanitary, filthy conditions.  He routinely violates the state mandated 24 week limit.  I'll tell you for sure, babies can definitely feel pain at 24 weeks.  I regard what Roe vs Wade did aside from the non existant legal basis for it, as unleashing a Holicaust of major proportions where they say that forty million lives have been terminated.  Forty million - Innocent lives.  I've heard a tale of one partial birth abortion where it was a Born Again Christian having it done and therefore somehow "That makes it OK".  Chuck Smith was noted for giving thumbs up on some woman having an abortion on a recent call in show.  In this case the doctor drugs the fetus- which almost sounds humane compared to the old "salting out" method they used to employ.  At least he "puts the fetus down" peacably, like euthanizing a pet.  But of course it doesn't always go down that way.  And we know how hard President Obama has fought personally in "Wrongful life" lawsuits.  The President actually supported legislation where the fetus was termanated outside the womb, in the event it wasn't already dead after a late term abortion.  This particular doctor just jabs the spinal cord with a sharp surgical instrument right through the spine of the infant, instantly killing him.  Of course we turn a blind eye to abortions enforced by law in China.  James Dobson has reported being there and seeing a premature baby fighting for it's life- - knowing that if he didn't die of natural causes the government would just kill it anyhow.  We know the President is positively spineless in his support of rightious causes.  For instance with the whole crisis with Wisconsin two years ago and gutting the Unions and stealing from Pension funds- - the President said and did not a thing.  Now there is this big British bank scandal where - - people were defrauded out of literally trillions, and the President does nothing.  It involved all of these investment swaps derivitives and unethithical leveraging of funds.  This is perhaps the worst Presidential administration in terms of big business prosecutions that we've had since Herbert Hoover.  We just told you how the President just a few days ago signed a bill into law that would hamper efforts to get after insider trader scandals.  The President himself says making a decision on whether to take an innocent life growing in the womb as "Above my pay grade".  Perhaps the solution would be to cut his salary to a dollar a day.  Of course any immigrant out there (and I don't mind if they're called illegal aliens)  they would sell their souls to get the sort of Expense accounts the President luxuriates in involving hundreds of millions of dollars and flights to nowhere- - expending God knows how much hydrocarbons into the air.  But fear not.  Now I hear they have new ways of extracting fuel from the ground- - so we can extend this wonderful era of exploiting a nineteenth century fuel with all of its hazzards well into the 21st Century so that we too can have pollution and smog figures like Beijing, which people like the President and Michelle Bachman alike so admire as a model for this country to follow.  (Selah) 
 Sometimes in a chess game you'll be faced with an un planned swapping of Queens.  I employ this strategy myself if I feel the game is stagnated and that without His queen that I would have the advantage with other players on the board.  If liberal and conservative were to play "The Asssenation Game" I'm almost tempted to say "Bring it on" because we would definitely get the better end of the deal.  Their side is wholly dependent on a few charismatic leaders, and you know who they are- - who issue all the tea party "fahtwahs".  Our side of a movement of the people and is much more a real "grass roots" movement.  Stewart Sutcliffe (one of those dead Beatles) agrees me in one thing.  Only he put it even more succinctly than I had been thinking.  He said that "Government's problem is that oppressive government IS basically a religion.  Government IS the religion of the masses and has been throughout world history.  There are your usual resident myths of course like Mithraism and the closely related So Invictus or "Unconquered Sun".  These are vague beliefs that affirm such things as the supremicy of their leaders and that leaders are divine and therefore infallable, and that you can achieve a type of Immortality if you will "Lay your life down for the State" such as Vladimir Lenin suggested in the saying "We are but dead men on furlough".  Just between you and me I thought the purpose of the founding of THIS government was to get away from that sort of thing.  But getting converts is no problem.  It's as easy as shooting fish in a gold fish bowl, and make no mistake about it - - one mistake and you get shot.  According to one caller today when the Nazis went about to round up the Jews they would order the people into their houses and close all doors and windows, and if you but looked out the window at what they were doing you'd be shot.  "Dead men tell no tails".  No wonder the cry in that Judgement at Nuremburg movie of "We didn't see- - -we didn't know".  The thing is that government leaders who preach a Religion that "human nature is intrinsically bad and needs some overload to "tame the laviathin in each man" the truth is that the government Knows that the average Joe out there is on a moral plane far more elevated than they themselves are.  But they can exploit this "compliant" impulse to "all just get along" to their own unfair advantage.  And it doesn't hurt to exploit prejudices against Indians, or Blacks, or Jews.  Rome had it easy.  Here you have all this Pursian and otherwise pagen mythology floating around- - but ""Add more than a touch of hate at a racial minority.  Preferably a whipped and defeated one who is in no position to fight back.  I know.  We can say their OWN GOD has judged them!  Ingenious!  And therefore they can fake an "event" of this powerful God now giving YOU a chance that had been offered to others first, but somehow they are undserving - - and besides, they can't fight back.  (Selah)
This is an overcast Tuesday April 30, 2013 at seven minutes to two and they interrupted the soap opera again with one of their never ending series of auto chases.  I went out and had a smoke.  I noticed that the volume in the big room was turned up to double or triple the normal and I guess whats-her-name was holding music class in there.  In the soap world the bad guys are way out ahead of the good guys.  By the way Sonny is an even bigger asshole than Will is.  They were all jubelent over their little Watergate style break-in today.  I just got to wondering when they are ever going to have time to schedule the birth of the baby, which is already overdue I bet you.  In other “trends” I still haven’t received that long awaited blood test.  I still have that May 7th Social Security appointment hanging over my head.  They didn’t use to schedule sequential year back to back audits.  And of course the phone company crisis goes on.  The news is pretty stagnant.  It recycles like undigested food in the stomach.  You hear the same stuff regurgitated over and over again by Randy and the other talk show hosts, like a broken record.

I had some dream last week where there were all of these Christian (?) borders in this one house and there were about four to a room- - and there had to be twelve or fifteen in total in this house.  There were several dressers in this one room I was in and I got two drawers in one dresser for my stuff.  At one point I called Mom on the phone and I asked her how anybody could live like this with people practically crawling all over each other and no privacy.  Mom said about maybe she had a situation like that in college or something.  I’ve had a couple of other dreams along this vein in the past several months- - and don’t know what they symbolize.  Not Paul or anybody else I expressly knew was in this dream, but I feel he was involved somehow.

Finally we have Michael Jackson's doctor, Conrad Murray - - going on trial today, or rather the AEG or whatever publicity company that stood to make more money from a dead Michael Jackson than a live one, apparently.  Col Tom Parker was telling someone about about how his only client just died, and some other businessman says "Good carrier move".  These rich people have more morals and no heart.  Whatever the lyrics are to 'Death on Two Legs' by Queen - - they apply to these people.  They will work their client to death not so differently from working a galley slave to death in the Roman Empire.  All these people see, as well as eat, drink, and breathe, is Money.  If they try and attack anything about Michael Jackson's past, it's completely irrelivent.  Certainly his sexual tastes or proclivities is completely irrelivent.  But also the whole child molestation scandal, whatever you think of it, or for that matter how he raises his children, or whether his children look like him - - this is all completely irrelivent.  And whether or not he smoked pot at age seventeen is as irrelivent as it would be to impute that to Trayvon Martin, as some justification as to an event to befall him one ill-fated evening.  And what if they say that "Michael Jackson was not in control and everybody knew the drug had control of his mind".  Rather than this being a defense, it's the thing that will surely get you people convicted.  That's the point.  Drugs were peddled to their star- - perhaps playing on a weakness or an emotional problem they exploited.  No ethical doctor would administer this drug and then not monitor the patient.  It's unheard of and would get any doctor in a hospital fired.  Yet these rich AEG people feel because they have so much money they're like Sheldon Addelson or Grover Norquist or somebody like that- - and they are above the law.  Michael Jackson is entitled to a Day in Court by a jury of his piers.  And lets hope that he gets it.  If he does, his Estate and loved ones will get at least some of that which is coming to them.

Here We Go Again

 
This is Monday April 29, 2013.  Remember that “Awakenings” movie Dr. Levy showed about a year ago about a miracle cure called L-Dopa that allowed patients in confined to hospital beds to rise up from their vegetative state and sing and dance, and go outside and reestablish old social friendships.  But it was only to find that the effect of the drug was only temporary.  This really happened in 1969 they claim.  You see I had already written the end of this movie because I decided I’d leave before it was over.  I figured it would be kind of a “Forest Gump” type ending with going on all the TV talk shows and being interviewed by the news reporters, and going before congress to get the FDA to approve this drug as soon as possible.  It was just five and a half days ago I thought my crisis with the phone company was ended.  But there Sarah was with a piece of mail.  “Bad news at my doorstep” to quote from a song lyric.  The phone bill had arrived with “all deliberate speed” since it usually doesn’t come till the 2nd or 3rd of the next month.  Every bill I’ve gotten from A T & T has gone up in consistent increments of three dollars every month since February and now stands at $54.54.  Sometimes life is that song called “Here We Go Again”.  You can go ditto for Randy Rhodes.  After her seeming “enlightenment’ last week and despite my almost exhaustive explanations why war preparedness with Assad was absolutely essential- - now Randy is going back into that same old song and dance, comparing this conflict with that of Iraq - - when I took pains to show how utterly little in common this case was.  Saddam’s country was at peace- - and the UN inspectors were doing their job- and there was some degree of religious tolerance even for Jews and Christians.  Also Iraq stood as an essential buffer to Iran which is gone now.  None of this is true about Syria.  Otherwise we had meatballs and tomato sauce for dinner with rice and broccoli and I mixed the rice with the sauce.  Laura started on our side with seconds of the meatballs and sauce and broccoli.  We had raspberry ice cream for dessert.  Glen made good on his promise to give me coffee after dinner and gave me two packet like things of Folgiers of the same type I’ve been using with the Starbuchs.  It isn’t as good but it’ll do.  I’ve been bleeding from my right ear.  There is this one spot every time I rub it - - it bleeds.  Now the first official gay NBA athlete has “come out”.  We’re going to be hearing a whole lot of stories like this.  This is the first time an active player in the NBA has “come out”.  He is a Black center- and I guess right now he’s confident.

I was talking with Marsha the other evening about my view on State Sovreignty.  You know Rand Paul got one applause line at Howard University last week when he hit upon one topic of relevance to Black people.  And this their disperportionate conviction and imprisonment rates for non violent drug offences.  And it’s true, of course.  Being hassled by “the man” is an occupational hazard of being Black, and not just in the ghetto but even un upscale areas, as testimony from radio callers indicates.  But I said I’d turn all of that stuff over to the states.  Not just marijuana laws but laws regarding alcohol consumption too.  Why do we need a .08 intoxication level that is so restrictive that Al Michaels was right on the line at .08 and yet he too got arrested.  Back when I was in drivers ed they had just lowered the level from .15% to .10%.  But like blood pressure, cholesterol levels and VMI and God knows what else- - there is this ever consuming fettish to ‘go lower”.  I myself have certain neurological problems that would preclude my passing these sobriety tests of cops – even sober.  I don’t think people realize how little alcohol consumption it takes to get to a .08%.   And I would also turn over laws on other things such as abortion laws and regulations whether or not to have gay marriage over to the States.  For that matter I think this “No Child Left Behind” stuff is a case of trying to micro-manage a situation that is inherently best dealt with locally.  The libertarian’s point is well taken that there is this straight jacket of federal regulations- - even things like minimum wage laws- where obviously there is a wide disparity of economies and cultures throughout the states.  But Marsha took exception to my abortion remark and she was looking at me like I’d just stepped in doo-doo or something.  This area of abortion is one area where we will not agree.

You know, sometimes you have to ask yourself things like “What if you win?”  Let’s just suppose for a moment everything on the Soap Opera I’m watching breaks the “gay” way, if you know what I mean.  So it could be that it proved three prominent families can team together to bring down one ex con who had few friends but was trying to make something of himself.  Excuse me if I don’t pop the champaign.  Will it really be such a sweet victory to now be divorced with a now disgraced husband - - perhaps plagued with legal expenses- - and a new born baby girl fathered by a gay man who’s best character recommendation is that he’s a professional flake whose never excelled at anything.  I’m thinking “Can’t these people find some other way of getting their rocks off?  Are they really that small???”  Apparently they are.  It would be funny that if it turned out that Nick Fallon’s truest friend was not his wife, but the ex con who was threatening to murder him a few short weeks ago.  If I were Nick I wouldn’t let him down, because I’d know I need a friend about now.  If you were to take this whole case to a judge he’d be incredulous.  He might grant an annulment on the grounds that “It was never a marriage” because Gabriel was always, whether she even knew it or not, more emotionally bonded to the gay father of her child, than her husband, who pays the bills.  In fact in the old days if you were searching for grounds for divorce I would wish there was somewhere to check off a category called “Worse than Adultry”.  Were I Nick I would far prefer it were adultery than the actual case, because believe me this is a far Worse treachery than adultery would be.   Lucas disgusts me.  He’s such a Di Mira sell out.  He’s turned out to be such an unprincipled whoos that if Stephano demanded Lucas give him a blow job- - Lucas would comply the minute Stephano said “It’ll make your son happy”.  Lucas would only say, I hope you have a soft rug”.
David Cruise was talking about how Wall Mart and Taco Bell and Mac Donald’s and Target and other such corporations are screwing their employees by cutting back their employment hours so they don’t qualify for medical coverage.  This is hardly news.  I’ve been hearing this sort of stuff the past couple of years.  I don’t know whether the tea party will exploit this news as another reason why Obama Care is no good.  As you know I think unquestionably the Affordable Care act was the singularly Worst blunder of his first term- - and it was a mistake that cast a long shadow and the president has paid a high price for.  Then there are all of the LAPD officers who were fired because they were whistle blowers like that Dorner guy.  Here is another thing everybody knows.  If someone tells you “Yes I’m really concerned about this problem.  Thank you for bringing it to my attention.  Action will be taken immediately”.  And you know in your gut from prior experience that absolutely nothing is going to be done about it.

There was an old commercial that raised Moe Kelly's hackles last week, and I guess the whole premise of the thing has kind of bothered me too, for a long time.  This idea of going up to kids whom you don't know and have no occasion to talk to - - and just pelting them with questions - - picking their brains, or what have you.  If you hear this Rodney Allan Rippy commercial without the picture- - the dialog does some off as a bit - - dare I say it - - queer, as in strange.  I never liked Art Linkletter's house party as a kid, and I guess they have books of "Kids say the darndest things".  But have you ever noted that many groups let other people define them.  For instance black people are portrayed by "Black face" actors.  And even the song "Dixie" was a song in a musical of, by, and for northerners.  People engage in this plastic "sentamentality" and call it real emotion.  And there are so many adults who emote about "the wonders and innocence of child hood".  They like children all right.  As some kind of a blow up doll who makes all these "cute' little nieve and innocent remarks that adults love to snicker at.  I'll even take issue with Jesus Christ on this one.  When he says "become as children" he doesn't mean it.  Children after all are curious, and want to expand their minds.  Children see how far they can go breaking the rules and crossing lines adults set for them.  And when a children finds out he's been lied to about some fairy story or another- - - sometimes they get mad.  Sometimes adults bullshit children thinking "Oh they're too dumb to know the difference".  And as I noted a while back- - sometimes when an adult says "That's not a reason; that's an excuse" the exact opposite is true.  It IS a reason.  But they don't WANT a reason.   Sometimes I've wondering watching some exchanges- - whether adults get off in putting their kids in humiliating situation which there is no way for them to win.  Sometimes a child will have what I call an astute intelligent response - - that would be respected if coming from an adult's lips, but coming from a child - - or dare I say - - a Negro in the old South, the remark is instant cause for offense.  Jesus Christ occasionally liked to "smart ass" people in governmental authority, when he really wasn't saying anything wrong, but their guilty consciences still convicted them.  (Selah)

President Obama Has Lost Control of the Government


I watched just about all of Face the Nation and one thing that’s clear is that this President has lost control of the reins of government.  If he had pressed harder on the failed gun bill, sooner- - twisting arms in congress or otherwise dealing with them, he would have gotten this bill passed.  This President’s reflexes are still far too slow and amoeba like.  In terms of the Syrian situation, the Syrian people are fed up and disillusioned with the United States because they had a reasonable expectation we would take action, since we took action in the far less serious situations in Egypt and Libya.  Seventy thousand people have been killed by Assad and they said that 500,000 refugees have flooded into Jordan, and that Jordanian leader says that nation can’t handle such an influx of foreigners.  There is this false equivalency between Iraq and Syria people are promogating.  There is talk of “making sure of our facts before we act” yet the difference is as night and day.  We know on solid evidence from generals who gave the command to use chemical weapons.  We know of at least one specific date and we are in the process of nailing down other dates.  The problem is that if we do not act- and this is already happening - - that the people of Syria will increasingly be drawn into more radical solutions like backing Al Qaeda or other radical parties.  Harry Truman said that we should have sat Castro down when he first came to power in 1959 and said to him “You can either get support from us or from the Soviet Union- - and our support is a lot better deal”.  If we just let things slide in Syria the conflict could spread to other countries anyhow.  And perhaps those chemical weapons might fall into the wrong hands without us there to stop it.  As Lindsey Graham said today on Face the Nation, “We actually have two wars to fight.  One is to remove Assad, and the other is to get the Syrian people to rise up against extremism”.    But there is an even more fundamental problem with Obama than that.  He said “If that red line- - of chemical weapons - - is crossed, it is a real game changer and we’ll do major reassasment of our policy”.  The rest of the world is watching us.  And Iran and Israel are watching us.  And if Iran sees us buckle on Syria they will be emboldened to take more aggressive action against Israel.  And Israel itself can’t be too happy about how flaky we are being about Syria.  It’s been stated that “It’s not a case of wanting to get all of the facts.  The plain fact is - -We Just Don’t Care- - no matter WHAT the facts turn out to be”.  This is a sad state of affairs for a foreign policy of the leader of freedom.  On a more pragmatic point of view- - if President Obama is looking for an opening or overature with the Republicans in Congress- - this is it.  This is a way to get on their good side, and to take some sort of action everyone can agree on.  Otherwise- - those who believe – like the tea party does- - that President Obama’s Mideast policy was and is irresponsible- - the hand of this tea party position will be strengthened by Obama’s inaction.  To me this is one decision you don’t have to wait for history to determine was right or wrong.  The same arguments used about the enemies of Assad could have been employed with Nazi Germany.  “Well we don’t know which of Hitler’s enemies to support- - after all I hear tell a lot of opponents of the Nazi party are communists” 

Meet the Press was on.  I need to listen and learn from John Mc Cain because he’s the moderate between us two right now, when it comes to the Syrian war.  What I said is that we have to be “psychologically prepared” to send in ground troops, not that we’ll have to.  Mc Cain says ground troops are counter-indicated, but he wants to do all that other groovy stuff a super-power can do line institute no-fly zones and bomb the hell out of Assad’s headquarters, and hopefully get him.  As I said in that posting, we can’t use as an excuse that “we are just tired as a nation of war”, and therefore are justified in just “taking the next decade or so off” and letting things slide in the world.  And to disagree with what one person said- - I think a War may NOT be “as bad as we feared” if we are “out ahead and waiting for them”.  Don’t do “incrementalism” like in Viet Nam.  Get out ahead of the thing and be proactive.  They had a lot of coverage of the White House celebrity roast last night.  I always, like Obama feel that “if you’re going to say you need to reach out to people - - why not start with me?”  It’s perhaps self serving but it drives the point home.  Of course from now on we’ll associate this dinner as the occasion when we got Bin Laden two years ago.  In terms of Obama’s “red line” Mc Cain reminds us that the “red line” is not really necessary since Assad has done so many other “unacceptable” deeds on the world scene.  Some may wish to split hairs and fuzz out that clear “red line” and rationalize it as “Well are we one third the way across that - - fuzzy blur- we’re calling the red line now”?  But Mc Cain’s words aside, I think once a President explicidly draws a line in the sand and says “This line you absolutely may not cross” and Assad crosses it anyhow- - that makes our foreign policy stance worthless.

Stephanie Miller has this "social responsibility" Reverend on, and Stewart Sutcliffe endorses his world outlook.  Christianity more than anything else is about "responsability" both social and personal.  People forget this.  The guest stated that many tea bagger Christians have actually been "converted" to liberalism from reading their Bibles.  There is ample of material in the Old Testament alone to refute so many tea party ideas.  Of course Stewart is a guy who is known for being loathe to change his mine on any subject.  But let me give one negative and one positive example of where Stewart did change his mind.  For the negative example we have Mitt Romney.  It was the end of the year of 2011 that Stewart told me he had completed his "full investigation" of Mitt Romney and was scheduled to come out with a New Years day editorial as to why supporting Mitt Romney for President would be an unmitigtated disaster.  On the positive side there is that individual around here whom Stewart "had been warning me about" and yet it was perhaps the Sunday before last that Stewart was forced to reverse his position on saying "obviously I was wrong".  In terms of Earth People who have Changed their minds- - we have SANDRA DAY OCONNER of Supreme Court fame.  Just this this morning O Conner came out with a reversal of sentament on "Perhaps it wasn't such a good idea to have voted the way I did in Bush verses Gore in 2000 - - which was a briech of Court policy in "Not allowing this case to be case law for Any Other case".  It takes a big man, or in this case, woman, to admit that she was Wrong on such a Key Issue that has so affected the course of American History.  By the way - - in the Federation they refer to the youngest brother as Jahar "Jay-har" with the accent on the first syllable.  They picked this up from the Reigelian "Sha-HAR", which is actually a word in that language- - and is a common given name that I'm only told is a "respectable name".  To get back to Stu Baby for a moment- - it was in that Stanford - USC game of a couple years ago where Stu quoted me the General Patton proverb of "Show me a good loser - and I'll show you a loser" and Stewart insists that games were being played with the clock or USC would have scored thus ending the game right there.  I think there is little doubt that Stu had a lot of money riding on that game, or something.

Leo le Port yesterday was talking about things Google welcomes in terms of getting your web site to be known, and things it regards as “gaming the system”.  But there are some sites where you don’t have a brick and mortar store where Google will admit they ignore you and there is nothing you can do about it because “That’s just the way things are”.  And most people still use Google as a search site so those vendors are pretty much screwed.  I think even now Google does a little too much “thinking for me” because they’ll steer me to sites “everybody else is going to” even if it’s not what I exactly had in mind.  Chris Marquardt was on the show and they finished up “storm” as an assignment and now are going for the word “bubble”.  Leo claims scype has better sound coming all the way from Europe than do domestic sources.  The thing is these computer geeks expend a lot of time on things I won’t spend time on.  Like Leo does these routine purges of his hard drive every few months or whenever he thinks he has a virus.  Of course reloading old files to a new hard drive is no easy feat. And it’s just time consuming.  And the idea of even putting yourself through that every three or four years – the way Leo thinks is normal, when you purchase a new computer- - I find mind boggeling.  Leo did say for the first time today that Windows will not continue to support XP in another year.  But Leo assured one caller that “XP had been worked on and patched so much that it will probably continue to be pretty safe even without regular updates”.  And then adds that “Besides, most of the hackers now have moved on to current formats”.

I have one more topic to bring up today and it involves asking yourselves "Obvious questions that occur to you".  As you know so many times we don't ask the Obvious questions because we as it were "learn an axiom by rote" and never get around to asking what it really means.  The whole Einstein equation of E equals MC square is a prime example.  We are always told "This means that is anything goes the speed of light it turns entirely into energy".  Yet Einsteins own equations don't state this.  First of all the energy - mass ratio is not affected by Speed, for reasons we have stated in the past.  Secondly - - since both Mass and Energy have a value of Infinity- - when at the speed of light- - mathematical equations of a "digital" nature (that could be used by a digital computer) would be pointless since Infinity is a Value that cannot be expressed on a digital computer.  (Selah)  Here is the following past from last night.  I was trying to explain to Jay how the formula E = Mc squared - - makes no sense if “c” is a single number since it could be miles or inches, and likewise the seconds could be minutes.  I told Jay the whole point of these equations is having an Unknown based on two independent variables with a certain relation to each other.  But you need some commonality in numbers to even multiply them.  I understand the relation between, for example, impact verses mass and speed, or illumination having a relation to light signal and distance square.  But here you don’t have such a working relationship.  So just how does this equation work?  OK we're back live.  My point is that units in physics involve a great deal of "spesificity" involving just What is being Measured or "Calibrated".  People don't realize that the "common denominator" principle extends to other venues of math.  On a final point- - it was a day last week when I hit my Seventh anniversary as a blogger.  And early on I admitted that "I'm going to be talking a lot about religion and metaphysics in these blogs".  Certain ideas perhaps I have "evolved" on a bit- - to use that Presidential expression.  One of these is the notion that Ideas constitute a physical reality of their own.   At that time I was thinking "Well even if we can't prove the existance of the Soul- - we know that somehow the mind generates "Energy" and this "Energy" is left hanging in the ether or something- - though I always spoke of this sixth or psychic dimension where these things called "Ideas" have their domain and existance.  So therefore - to borrow from Sylvia Brown, even is the soul no longer exists there remained this "energy" that lingered in a haunted house or whatever.  Again this is an issue I have modified my position on over the years.  I now don't believe you can Quantify - - in a measurable physics sense- - you cant quantify this sort of Mental Intelligence as somehow some "energy" or "force".  If you could, they would have measured it by now.  Therefore it would follow that if you see some "intelligence" in the Evolution of nature and the Universe- - you can't impute any physicality hence "provability" to this.  All of your persuasion must be Inferential rather than test tube oriented.  The closest we came in our writings lately to this "physicality of ideas" notion is in repeating an old axiom that "If two shapes are absolutely Identical in every aspect, they are The Same- - even if they are to be Located in different Spaces or different Times.  (Selah)  This is an old Mal Evans doctrine.
