RUSH LIMBAUGH NEEDS A

GOVERNATOR ON HIM 

LICENSE # EIB-OU812 

Trivia quiz:  To what prospective President did Richard Nixon address the remark: "Either shit or get off the pot"?

Rush Answers:  Oh that was when Nixon was over at the White House shortly before he died and Bill Clinton was spending a long time in the bathroom and he could smell the marijuana coming through the door.  He wasn't fooling anybody?

You see Rush Limbaugh looking

From his lofty, secluded Perch

"Keep Planet Earth for Humans

-not for Corporations or the Church"

This is in reference to a Tom Lerrer song out in 1965 about what will happen "When Alabama has the Bomb"?  Rush Limbaugh routinely does things over the air waves now that would get any other radio call-in show Host fired a half a dozen times over.  There have been so many on the left who have been victims of pressure from the Media establishment and gotten Fired.  You have Tom and Dick Smuthers.  You have Dan Rather and that planted Memo that was a Truth, but the Memo itself was a bogus plant.  You have Bill Moyers, you have Randy Rhodes.  Tom Leykis got fired by KFI in 1992.  But Rush Limbaugh has been beseiging the radio Air Waves for over 23 years now and nobody lifts a finger against him, the same way no Churchman made any disapproving move or statement against Gene Scott despite he was ill serving their Cause.  Like Dr. Scott - - Rush Limbaugh has these outbursts of verbal diaria.  He has no thought governor most normal people have that guards what they choose to say.  They say in James in the Bible that the tongue is like a small rudder that is able to steer a whole ship.  They say "The unbridaled tongue sets loose the Fires of Hell".  Of course we know about Rick Santorum's statement about JFK's address to the Houston Ministrial Association in 1960 "Made him want to throw up".  I could have tuned in Rush Limbaugh's show today and no doubt gotten writers cramp from jotting down so many notes so quickly.  But the truth is I don't need any more material because I have more than an ample supply already.  As to Rick Santorum in the end it turns out that he "Barfed all over his chances for an electoral victory in Michigan last week because of his statements about one of America's most beloved Presidents.  This latest attrocity of Rush Limbauigh was yesterday when he attacked some woman for making an advocacy speech for birth control funding.  He kept going on about "She wants to pay her for having sex" and went on a rambling word salad rant about Pimps, Prostitutes, and Johns, but I'm still not sure which was which in his example.  Only that he suggested he's agree to her terms only if she made a sex tape and that he and all the rest of us could watch.  Rush is known for his sexual crudities.  He told that joke about being trapped with Hillary Clinton in an elevator.  Hillary would say "Rush, make a woman out of me" and start taking off her clothes.  So Rush starts taking off his clothes too as fast as he can.  Then he points to the pile on the floor and says, "Now wash and iron them".  He speaks in inappropiate terms about the First Lady calling her "Michelle, My Bell".  Only her husband gets to call her things like that.  He mocks her attractive figure and the fact she works with kids.  Then there are these vague racial allusions like "Ooommm  - - Oommm - - Oommm!" as some kind of a Racial allusion of some sort.  Of course Rush Limbaugh attacked candidate Cain because he didn't like Rick Perry's "Nigger Head" remark.  If there is a slime ball out there Rush will defend them.  Of course the President has been the target of every racial slur by the right from "Berock the Magic Negro" to "Obama-nation" to "Berockalipse".  Rush went unusually blatent on the racial issue in 2008 when Gen Collin Powell enforced Obama over Mc Cane in the Presidential race that year.  Rush says, "You wonder if it might be about race? - - - Of course.  It's ALL about Race!"  Wow. Rush likes to endulge over gratuatus verbal cruelty to the unfortunate.  For instance Rush passionately defended the football head coach of Penn State- - who was fingered for not conducting those child molestation charges against Coach Sandusky.  Rush repeatedly referred to the Oval Office as "The Oval Orifice" when Clinton was in office, and spoke often of "The Clinton Presidential Library and Message Parlor".  Of course when Andrew Britebart (?) passed away the other day, those on the left spoke kindly tword him.  But when anybody on the Left would ever meet a tragic death Rush would invariably speak of them as "Assuming Room temperature".  Well a lot of troublesome people have assumed room temperature including Lee Atwater, the George Bush's master of Dirty Tricks against Michal Dukakis in 1988.  And of course Gene Scott's passing was one few would note and fewer would lament.  Now we have Britebart.  And we are now wondering "Who's Next"?  Will it take a sudden heart attack to get Rush out from behind that Golden E I B Microphine?  We don't know a lot about Rush.  Just how bad is Rush's diet really?  And what about those four wives?  Do you suppose any of them were forced to have abortions because Rush hates kids?  And you can bet all four of them had to sign "Non disclosure agreements" to keep quiet about their marriages to Rush.  And I bet more than one of them had to sign an anti-nuptural agreement to forfeit any right to community property.  People have said "That when a radio talk show host puts out so much bad karma into the Universe, it can't help but come back on him".  I don't know when that day will be.  It's going on 24 years and that's a near record for either a Television Show or a talk show host reign.

Now this whole thing about employers dictating what kind of health care coverage a worker can obtain, may be getting over the line.  Of course you know some don't allow you to smoke in your own home.  Me and Stewart Sutcliffe have argued over this issue.  He says absolutely employers have this right.  I maintain that they don't.  Now some employers are dictating what "Prescription medication" (to use the Rain Man term) one may receive from their doctor, and which drugs they can't have.  What if you suffer from depression or ADD or are bi-polar and need Lithium regularly?  What do you do if you're diabetic and have a Christian Scientist employer?  Some would say that a single payer government program would solve all this issues, if we all had "Medicare Part E", for Everybody.  Well we aren't "there" yet as a nation ready to accept it- - yet.  I'm not even sure I am from a purist standpoint.  But sometimes God has a way of shaping circumstances so that people are Forced into certain "conclusions" it takes on almost the patience of a mule trainer to bring about.  And the whole matter of campaign funding may be a similar situation.  However here, I think what we need is not prohibition but regulation.  To continue the Thom Hartman football game amalogy a little further,  "I believe the government should appear as the referee but the government should not be the quarterback".

LATE PARAGRAPH ENTRY:  My apologies pertaining to last Monday's test with one Answer that wasn't an answer.  REAL numbers are also Analog numbers.  This is a concept that if people could grasp it, it would solve a lot of problems for them.  Try as we might - - "digital" numbers are NOT by in large, the Real World. And the Real World has been here a lot longer than today's Scientists have.  To say you "digitize" something is to one or another extent make something into what it is inherently NOT.  This is the transcendent problem with most Religion.  In terms of Rush's chronic cruelty to the weak and defenseless, I don't know if I have even seen the Michael J Fox - - show Rush did where I guess he mimicked him.  I'm not sure I even want to. People with this sort of "bent" in life to bully the weak, in the end are found out and people turn away from them.  In other news I have been losing weight the past couple of months, not that I have actually weighed myself.  I think it's all coming off "belly fat" but I don't know what change in diet I've had.  Weather wise the predicted warming trend in the weather is under way.  This will be the last posting in this Blog for now.  I think we will be moving to Rocca-rolla next.

Obviously Jesus Christ and the Catholic Church would not agree on stuff.  I'm waiting for the porno version of "Passion Week" when after that little "Message therapy session" with Mary Magdolane, they go off into the bedroom and make love and he makes jokes about people who believe in physical abstenance.  Jesus said to "Call no man on earth Father" as a slap against the Pope,  Jesus didn't believe in formal litergical prayers.  Jesus believed that you should pray to God in secret.  Jesus didn't believe you should seek or accept public acclamation for making a large donation.  Jesus didn't even seem to even be that big on pledges, regarding Oaths as a snare of the Devil.  Jesus of course did offer free medical prayer.  If you really believe Jesus was God, while in the flesh, Jesus NEVER turned down one prayer petetion no matter what the state of the supplicant.  Jesus (unlike me) did believe that your moral purity should exceed those whom you judge, and condemn to Death.  In my personality I reject the idea of Almighty God even BEING what we call a "Person"  - and don't like that any more than I do for Corporations, but for different reasons.  If God was "A Person" that would make him "One of Us" with his own set of biases and preferences and proclivities.  I do not believe God relates to us in those terms and neither does Stu.  Jesus said "ask, seek, knock".  Ask and it will be answered, and seek and you shall find, and knock and the door will be opened".  While these words "sound nice" they are in fact just WORDS and the human brain has it's OWN ways of translating them.  For instance in computer speek GOTO is a single word with a clear mandate.  Supplicants will hear these words and believe that "The Church" is where to go for these answers.  That's what they will tell you.  But often you don't get the Right answers because you don't ask the Right Questions.  As Jello Biafra says "How can you say he is The Answer- - when you don't even know the Questions". Or as Lennon put it so succinctly long ago, "You better free your mind, instead".

"This Blog Has No Title - Just Words and a Tune"

The stuff below was typed just after breakfast.  I'm going to go through it now I'm going to add it in red ink so you'll know that I added it later.  I guess that would make the material in red "Glen Johns" stuff.  Like Michael Bruce and Alice Cooper were asking themselves in 1973 "Is there anything we haven't done yet that we could do right now?"   The Beatles used to play all their old EMI albums by way of review before they began their next album.  I have been writing blogs as such a break-neck pace lately I need to go back and "see where I've been" to gauge an idea as to what ground I need to cover next.

So in the spirit of the Whitmark Tapes - - we'll say, "Fare they well - " , since we all know sometimes time runs backwards.  In these Magical Mystery Wanderings you and I can travel together even if you're there and I'm here and this is only a print medium.  I'll have you know I'm doing this whole Posting without notes.  I don't have the time.  Besides I'm not even sure Klaus Voorman knows how to read music.  Sometimes you used to hear a song and go "Wow - that's right out of the Future" like "Too Much to Dream" by the Electric Prunes that showed up on the radio a day or two after the turn of the year 1967.  We all thought the lyrics were "I had too much to drink last night".  But you go back and hear that track today and it practically sounds like a garage band.  It's kind of ditto for "See Emily Play" which I first heard on AM radio in late September of 1967.  I thought "Wow - that song is too futuristic for me - - I'm just not "There" yet".  But today this some sounds like just another dated sixties song.  There were a few strange events of that fall of 1967 warrenting note.  It was in October that our high school gymnasium was hit with a tear gas bomb during a pep rally.  It was about the only time in my life I had actually smelled and experianced tear gas.  It got on the news and they interviewed Peter Aguio about it.  Yeah you "Chapter 24" Whitmark Tape fans know what I'm talking about (There's another Clue for you all)  By the way the football team of OXFORD Mississippi- - they're called the REBELS, right?  Just checking.  Kathy Imperiali was my girlfriend during this period.  I've tended to generally have good luck with girls named Kathy.   One night in early October I was sky gazing through my telescope and there was this bright "star" in the tradition of Bart Simpson.  And I was tracking it and suddenly the thing just blew up.  I thought "Is that strange or what?"  Before long it didn't take a telescope to see it because there was this incandecent blog in the western skies.  A Vandenburg AFB missile had just blown up and it was on the news.  I had some strange dreams in October of 1967.  I had this one about some carnival with - - - it was actually a movie but I didn't see the actual movie with Bergess Merideth in it till years later.  But I had this dream about carnivals and merry go rounds and ferris wheels and magic acts and secret chambers and occultic spells where people were marianettes and people were pulling their strings.  And he would dangle the strings and if he cut one of the strings something horrible would happen to somebody like they would die or something.  We traveled to Las Vegas in November to test out our new Dodge Station Wagon.  But my "Las Vegas dream" actually preceded this trip by a month or so.  The one where I heard "Magical Mystery Tour" a month before it was out.  And that car engine was a 307 cu in or something.  And John Sherwood drove a car that was a whole lot peppier than our station wagon and I asked him if he had a 387 or something and he said, "No, it's 265".   Of course at the time Al drove a customized 1958 Ford he'd fixed up with tinted glass and everything.  But one rainy night when a group of us came home,  my Dad announced that Sunday night that Al had to sell the car because his first quarter report card grades wern't up to snuff, and I felt like Al had really been screwed over considering all the money he'd spent.  It was Friday the day after Thanksgiving when I recorded "I'm A Walrus" off KHJ, and the D J gave this intro of "If your head is screwed around right, the Beatles will turn it around backwards, and if your head is screwed on backwards the Beatles will screw it around right".  It was Thursday November 30th 1967 when they Premiered the five "new Beatles songs" off of MMT on the radio.  In this days for some reason they tended to premier new Beatles songs in groups of five.  John Sherwood was one of those "good church boys" who "turned Bad" at the beginning of his Senior year in high school.  I rode with Sherwood in the spring of 1969 when I myself did not yet drive - - to a night Psychology class at Cypress taught by Mr. Lee.  It was years and years later, I happened on another lecture of Mr. Lee in a a lecture hall and thought "Wow, this guy is even a better speaker than I remember".  It was definitely one of your knowledgable psychology instructors.  John Sherwood had great tasstes in music.  On his eight track he played "Bayou Country" all the time and he also had the "Flowers" album.  I thought "Wow - - I can't imagine so many good Rolling Stones songs on one album".  I think he also got "Best of Cream" with the coveted studio version of "Spoonfull" on it.  I thought "This is like a Led Zeppelin song before there was Led Zeppelin".  You remember that Seventies Show episode where they brought out a combination phonograph and Eight Track tape player and Eric goes "Wow, that's right out of the Future".  It was the Fifth of November 1969 when I finally recorded most of that KMET bootleg tape of the Get Back sessions.  (That's kind of why I picked that release date - - in that simulated Hey Jude album photo a while back) Of course to be honest- - skipping up to early 1973 or so- - I was at about the same state of Teenage evolution by age 22 that most people were at at age 17 in a lot of days.  I didn't get my licence till a few months into 1973.  Before 1973 I never drank alcohol, at least not much.  Also I got my own checking account in 1973.  Me and my parents had a lot of arguments about money in late 1972 and early 1973 because these notices from OC Hospital could come to our house billing me for all the medical treatement I'd had earlier in the year because of my Suicide Attempt.  Actually- - it's ironic that I was a little "late" in getting travel independance.  Because a big stumbling block between me and Becky Daniels, who lived in Santa Ana, was that it was hard to travel to get to see her and if I just had my own car it would speed up the progress of the relationship immesurably. As it turns out I was "just a little late" because in the mean time she had accepted a marriage proposal from a guy who was then in prison in a relation I had no idea existed, and got married within weeks afterward around April 7th.  I didn't have a mustache for that license photo, but a few months later in early August of 1973 I had grown a mustache for the church family photo.  And just for trivia believe it or not this was NOT our last family photo together.  We actually all five got together for a family church photo in the spring of 1977 one last time.

There's the whole timing of the release of "What's Coming Down" because it was a few weeks after the Saturday night masacre of the firing of all those people in Nixon's cabinet in late October of 1973.  And you "knew a lot of shit was going down".  I imagine the song had already been recorded then.  Another song that was "too loud and rocky" was the final release of "I've Got a Feeling".  I like that guitar riff- - but it's too loud for this song and I prefer the KMET bootleg version (use on Anthology) better, with the abrupt ending.  (That song goes on too long anyhow)  I like Paul's vocal on "The Long Winding Road" better on the Bootleg tape also.  It's more etherial or something.  Of course you know how I believe "All Things Must Past" was butchered on the final Phil Specterized album version and it's not at all the way I think the Beatles should have done it, and DO think it would have been a good song for the Beatles.  I always envisioned it being done along the lines of "Hey Jude" with a more intimate folk feel.  Of course in 1973 there was all this stuff about Henry Kissinger being the Antichrist and all because his last name adds up to 6 6 6.  And I was telling Pete Richards about all of the "Christian" allusions on the Mind Games album and he told me, "I think it's just wishful thinking, Marcus".  Well, maybe.  Stuff like "I put yourself in your place, as you did for me" is right out of Paul's letters about "partaking in the sufferings of Christ".  That fall I had Logic with Mr. Richi.  This is the legondary class where he counted way off on a blue book essay test where I had said "I believe that Marxism IS a religion but that Confucionism is NOT a religion" and I explained why.  And he remarked in red ink, "Your analisis seems Completely arbitrary".  This semester was the only other time I took a night class, other than the spring 1969 one, because I needed someone to take me before.  That was Law Enforcement.  You know something.  It's getting late.  Soon I have to make that journey to "The Wall" where we cross the border into another City, and at that place free market capitalism still Lives, and your Dollar actually buys a dollar's worth of merchantise.  I'm sure Tyrone Power can tell you about that.  He has a supply.  "Come and take my hand - - soon we'll be in another Country".  I can did up an old song lyric for everything.

New Pretties for You

First of all part one of this article can only be found on line, but you are invited to tune in - - "  "Oh, this IS on Line?  Well- - - uh just forget what I said".  Actually part one of this article can be purchased at your local GMCO dept  store if you can find one that's still open for $3.98.   Welcome to another Gospell According to Thomas, but unlike the one in the Bible, this one seems to have material nobody else has.  For instance did you know that the Bush family as in George Herbert Walker and Barbra really wanted Jeb Bush to be President in 2000 because he was "the smart one" whereas George W was just a druggie with no mind left.  But that Karl Rove overrode their decision.  Now we are hearing stories of a Jeb Bush candidicy revival because of the lingering liklihood of a brokered republican convention.  And if this is the case this could be perhaps the ONLY threat to the democrat's electoral happiness in November.  That's because Jeb Bush was a moderate Florida governor, apparently more so than Marco Rubio is now.  And he speaks fluid Spanish and has a Hispanic wife, which could help him immesurably in the fall and steal away all those Latinos who are put off by Romney's immigration policies.  Of course you know that President Bush wanted a "path to citizenship" for illegals when he was in office but the intransigent Republicans just wouldn't go there.

Now the government is telling us that half or our pork meat, or perhaps half of ALL meat is infected with the CC 398 virus.  But there are problems with factory farms.  You know they shoot up the meat with antibiotics and such.  When I had Hepatitis B I wondered aloud whether all those chemicals might actually help me if I ate more meat.   But now as you may or not know hospitals are ravaged by the MERS flesh eating virus, among so many flesh eating viruses now.  Contrary to what Hartman says we had this problem in early 1997 with the legondary Mad Cow disease mainly in England, where they don't have our laws.  And that was the "spongelitus' virus that invades your brain cells and turns the tishue into a useless sponge like quality.  By the way I don't know where I heard the following, and it might have even been in a dream.  But I heard that the biggest reason why the Jews are not allowed to eat Pork, is because human flesh when it's eaten tastes like pork, and they didn't want it to be some kind of a "gateway sin" to canabalism.  Anyhow this MRSA virus is resistant to all antibiotics.  The reason for this is that some human virus was spread to Pigs, and then while in the pig's system this virus as if some "evolution incubator" morphed into the MRSA virus and in the process picked up immunity to all vaccines.  I've heard the same thing happened with chickens in one of the killer flue virus like the Influenza outbreak of 1918.  So the MRSA is now immune to all forms of injection of whatever anti biotic substance known to man.  I would not want to succumb to any flesh eating virus.

There is a murder convict on death row in Alabama waiting to be executed sometime this month.  But you know that commercial about "He says he did it".  Well, someone else confessed to the crime this man was convicted for and sentensed to death, and that other man said "I did it".  But the High Court of Alabama doesn't want to hear it.  Also this guilty man knows that the murderer wore a whig.  And the prisoner has therefore asked that DNA test be run on this whig, which they still have and he says "If there is one shred of my DNA on that whig I'll gladly go to the chair" or whatever.  But the Alabama High Court isn't having any of this because for them an "appeal" is not a matter of making a finding of Truth, but rather "checking off all of the boxes".  And since all of the boxes have been checked off, this innocent man will be put to death sometime this month in Alabama.  Of course corruption abounds in the Court system.  Clarence Thomas' wife was interviewing applicants for the Bush Administration when the election itself was still up in the air.  They used to say to avoid even the appearence of Evil.  But then someone discovered this was a Greek Bible translation error (seriously) and the correct rendering is "avoid every form of Evil".  I don't see how Clarence Thomas can rule on anything with a straight face knowing how politically "up to it up to her neck" his wife is with these lobby groups.  And in another case Dick Chaney went duck hunting with Justice Scelia and two weeks later Justice Scelia ruled in Dick's favor on a pending issue.  We have the finest courts money can buy. And since most State Judges are election, now Millions of dollars are spent by political action comittees to elect the Judges them want.  Wow!

MIND WANDERINGS:  I think John Lennon songs that rip off other artists are the ones that sound better.  For instance "Just Gimme Some Truth" is one of my all time favorite John Lennon songs, both lyrically and musically.  Obviously there is a bit of an "Abbey Road" hangover "sound" to it.  But actually it shows strong indications of being a musical rip-off of "Bell Bottom Blues" by Derek and the Dominoes, released just a few months earlier back in May of 1971.  We move on now to Martian Games.  And no, Alex, I didn't know that Romulus and Rebus were sons of Mars.  I never heard that.  Anyhow we have "Tight As", which is a song that rhythmically may have been inspired by a Ray Stevens song like "Ahab the Arab".   Then we come to "I See My Sin", which is a slow blues number.  This might have been inspired by a combination of "I Can't Quit You" or else that Blues number on track four side two of "A Salty Dog".  The author may have been thinking in terms of "two key notes" ruling the song.  In "I Can't Quit You" there is one loud note- - and the next one goes up.  Skipping to "Freeda People", actually this song tracks closely with a Cat Stevens song off of the album "Catch Bull and Four" or something rel fall of 1972 called "Common Cause", which was the second biggest hit off the album.  "Intuition" is kind of a rip off of "As Time Goes By".  "Out of the Blue" is kind of like a morph update of "Maybe I'm Amazed" with a few Sexy Sadie chord progressions thrown in.   Not to go Romulan on you but Richi Valenz had his own way of performing "What's Going Down", after the fact, I assure you.   I don't know if Richi ever put it on tape but I saw him perform it - - and I guess that's Sandy Zimmerman on drums.  My take on Richi's "take"is that it's louder and rockier than this song needs to be.  We come to "Meat City".  Maybe John wanted something real "Wild" here.  I guess, kind of like the photograph for this posting.  The last track on "Other Voices"  (I'm about the only person who has this album) features a rather frenziac and wild "trailer" reminicent of some song off a Santana album or something - - like flashing Neon lights and the whole bit.  Well John already had "New York City" and this song just fits as a suitable successor to that one.

Many think the Israelites were slaves in Egypt.  You can make just as good of a case that in reality the tribes of "Israel" were slaves in the North to a foreign King who worshipped a different God, perhaps from other countries.  The Israelites worshipped the golden calf.  And so they had an Altar at Dan and another Altar at Beth El, the north and south extensions of their land.  The new king was especially ruthless saying "I little finger is thicker than my father's loins" and also "My father chastized you with whips.  I will chastize you with scorpions".  The time frame was rather earlier than people think being perhaps 1600 or 1700 BC.  Now the nation gained independance because Egypt came and kicked the occupying nation's ass and stole all their gold.  There is a Federation myth that Joseph was really a dealer in slaves and his sympathies lay with Egypt and so he recruited people to come and serve as slaves in Egypt where the conditions were far better and the food was better.  But the people of the land arose up and slew him and threw him in a pit, where he died.

Is Monetary Endowedness Next to Godliness?

THE PRESIDENT has just issued a couple more executive orders today.  This is a productive means of Presidential proactive leadership.  Today the President decided contrary to the Patriot Act or whatever other Bush regulations, the not all terrorists would be taken out of the Criminal Court system, but now we would return to most people involved in domestic terrorist acts would be treated as common criminals, with the emphasis on "common", meaning that they will be treated just like any other citizen would be.  Also today the President officially did away with the dreaded "Death Pannels" that so vexed the Republicans, or so they would have us believe.  They were officially called I-PAD.  This agency or agencies never did have the force of regulitory law but could only make recomendations, and this was just to coordenate the patient's best care coverage, should the worst happen and medicare funding get cut.  But it was always congress and not this committee that had the final say so, and always did.  This just takes another major charge out of the Republicans' hands, among so many   things that have been taken out of their hands which they hoped would be a means to pilery the President during the fall campaign.

I think it's safe to say why Rick Santorum lost so big in Michigan and in Arizona.  First of all Mitt Romney had his new found buddy John Mc Cain to campaign for him in Arizona as the sensible way to vote.  Some said that Romney people took steps in Arizona to keep the whacko vote from showing up.  But clearly in Michigan the people just rejected Rick Santorum for all of his "out there' political stances lately.  Wisdom dictates that honesty is not necessarily the best policy in politics, as synical as that sounds.  The Senator from Pennsylvania said "President Kennedy's words on separation of Church and State in 1960 made me want to throw up".  You don't say words about a beloved ex President and get away with it.  Of course now the word is that John Mc Cain is speaking out against the Citizens United Supreme Court decision and that the days of these giant donors may be drawing to an end.  Others have postulated that when Mitt Romney gets elected President he will indeed to another flip flop reversion to a more progressive stance.  They say that the New York water delivery system is over one hundred years old.  The average aquaducts and water delivery systems and septic systems in the United States are over fifty years old.  This would take a lot of employed people to replace.  Unfortunately when Ronald Reagan became President the decision was made just to mortgage our future and ignore all this stuff in favor of tax cuts for big corporations and more maximization of their profits.  If the economy picks up because of Mitt Romney public works measures next years he will take credit for it himself no doubt.  But the trouble is that President Obama being a Democrat could not afford to go on any major government spending spree now, but a President Romney, under Republican Party Political Cover, would be free to do this.

So does having a lot of the green stuff in your pocket somehow confer to you a certain piety that the lesser classes lack.  People will say that religious people have a higher living standard and more of them are married and live in better neighborhoods so there is less crime and all of that.  People think of the poor as the morally compromised class.  When I mentioned to Judy at Christmas that so many socio-economic factors played into minority problems such as poor health and crime she responded, "Not all poor people are immoral.  It's values and not economics that's relivent".  Of course the only "poor person" of any value to these people is someone like Abraham Lincoln who was honest and grew up in a log cabin.  But other than that the lower rabel classes are pretty much seen by the Rush Limbaugh set as no good and good for nothing.  But are these moral observations valid?  No they are not.  A survey was just completed that said that ten percent of the Sociopathic personalities are from the upper classes.  In other words the rich have Sociopaths at ten times the rate of everyone else, where the figure is around one percent.  Other surveys of months ago have concluded that the rich were truely the sociopathic among us.  They ran some experiment involving economics and paying for something that wasn't delivered right away and somehow involved trust.  It involved trusting your neighbor to come through for them and be true to his word.  Virtually all of the people who "flunked" this test were either your rich banker - economic tycoons, and also a few people who were potential psychopathic murderers also flunked this test.  Now they have done some new tests.  They tested their honesty to see who would honestly state what number on the dice they rolled.  They were told the highest roll would win a prize and they thought they were in a booth alone away from prying eyes, and the others would believe any number they told them.  It was the honor system.  There is no honor among the rich.  Because there was a hidden camera in the room and the rich lied way more than any other class.  There was another experiment involved stealing candy from a jar the person was told "These are for the children who will be here later".  Well, guess what.  The rich stole from the jar much more often than the other classes, and on average the Rich person took three times as much candy as others did.  They ran a test with traffic laws and found that the rich were much more likely not to obey traffic lights and roll through right turns and such, and also that the rich were even a lot more likely to run over pedestrians legally crossing the street than the rest of us were.  Of course in the military they said that Generals make fifteen much as much salary as a Private First Class.  But in this country as opposed to Japan where this number is only around 30, in this country corporate executives earn about 350 times as much money as do the poorest workers.  As such there is a lot of temptation for high ranking military officials to go Rogue and start working with private corporations.  We know that an awfully large percentage of military "abuses" we've heard about were actually private contract companies.  Of course the Salaries of the top C E O's and the rich has gone up 25% not counting inflation and taking after tax income.  The ordenary age earner on the other hand has steadily lost earning power over the past thirty years.  And this is deslite the fact that the average worker is significantly more productive today than he was thirty years ago.  This all goes to Corporate Profits and not into the worker's pockets, as it should.  I elaborated on this theme in that "Socialist Manifesto" thing I posted a month and a half or so in one blog.  To to sumarize, "Yes, Virginia, The Rich Really Are Crooks".  So when the right bemoans this Occupy Wall Street crowd as somehow the unwashed, greedy, moral values lacking masses, you people need to set them straight.

Now of course the Red States like to think of themselves as the financially well off sates and point to Welfare Magnets such as California and New York as the financial paracites.  However - - once again the truth is a little different.  The flow of government funds flows to the Red states with their agricultural subsedies and disaster relief and the like, getting paid for not growing surplus food to keep farmer's prices up or whatever.  And now there are all the discredited ethanol subsedies.  And of course FIMA knows that this area is a magnet for every form of natural disaster, and they always seem to need to be bailed out.  I don't fault them for this.  But some might say if they are so tight with the Almighty how come their prayers for protection aren't listened to?  I know the expression "There but for the grace of God go I", and I'm not disputing it.  I'm just saying that maybe just once these people ought to get off their high moral horse.  Because earlier in this administration you had a hand full of Hartland senators representing perhaps ten percent of the US population being able to block a whole Avelanche of laws that were passed by the Pelosi congress, that would be the law of the land today were it not from the out-sized representation from rural states.  They err historically because the old expression was "No taxation without representation".  And these people are over represented by any accounts, and their propaganda message, for what it's worth is broadcast loud and clear in the Media.

If Randy Rhodes thinks the Monkees wrote their own songs, in the words of Anne Baxter, "You've been drinking too much honey wine".  In terms of those Seven Mountains of society that I've heard about that the Dominionists believe in of Politics, Law, Entertainment, Religion, Education, and what have you - - -I haven't yet found specific reference to those seven - - yet.  But now we are told that this Saturday Mick Huckibee is going to sponsor a "Forum" (not a debate) where Newt Gingrich, Mitt Romney and Rick Santorum will be discussing dominionism.  So it will be two "Christian Dominionists" debating one Mormon.  Just to get our terms right, Mormon is a non-Protestent religion but not a "Non Christian" religion.  Protestents are those that came out of the European reformation such as John Knox, John Calvin, Zwinglee (?), Luther and, yes, King Henry VIII.  He was most certainly a religious reformer, and I'm not being cute here, either.  Mormonism does not spring out of this protestent "tree" of Faiths.  However they do believe and Teach the Bible, which is something you can't necessarily say for some of these other groups.  And since they teach the Bible they know that the whole idea of "making the world righteous enough so Jesus can return" is pure horse pickey.  No.  The return of Jesus will be "as a thief in the night" and even casual fans of religion know this.  Jesus (or rather John the Baptist) teaches that it will be as sudden as when the lightning flashes from east to west, and there will be absolutely no time to prepare and a whole lot of people will be caught unawares.  So if Romney wants to do theological battle with the other two Dominionists, he should be saying "Well - - Bring it On!"

Davie Jones of the Monkees just died.  They were just saying he was going to appear at some concert this weekend.  Of course it was Micky Dolens who sang the plurality of the lead vocals, with Davie Jones and Peter Torque singing less often.  Of course they had David Crosby on the other day.  Of Crosby, Stills, Nash, and Young, Crosby is known of course as the most drug wasted and the most "symbolic" of this genus of music.  Of course Grahm Nash is the only member of C S N & Y who is not an Andromodan.  All four Mamas and Papas are Andromadan.  I could just have as easily talked about Byrds albums in that recent posting.  Of course we know the Mamas & Papas last major hit.  I'll give you a hint right now.  Some of you wanted to know who "Charlie" was, a name that popped up the other day.  Well, this is a free country.  You are free to guess.  At any rate the answer as to which was the M & P's last major hit is as follows.  You know what the DMS key on your Windows  calculator does don't you.  Well using calculation calibrations used with that key- - - take a quarter out of your pocket and think of it's most mathematically conceise value expressed in terms of a certain denomination.  (as long as it's not Episcapalian)  Now cut it in half and you've got the answer.  This M & P single - both sides - I used to hear playing on a juke box all the time at this Pizza place where my church youth group stopped by after-wards to hang out eat pizza and smoke cigarettes at the corner of Euclid and Ball.  By the way, as far as I can tell Mike Love was the early "main singer" of the Beach Boys you hear most, rather than Brian Wilson.  I just thought you'd like to know.

Strangely Enough - Romney Wins Both States

Tonight Mitt Romney cemented his fortunes for becoming the first Mormon nominee ever to be picked by a major political party.  A real first.  Romney won Arizona and Romney has won Michigan.  The vote tally was really slow in coming in and just now we are getting a glimmer of reality.  Mitt Romney has about 44% of the vote to Ricky Santorum's 37% with Paul and Newt at around 11% each.  This was completely unexpected.  People were saying that even if Rick Santorum lost by a small margin he could still pick up a majority of conservative biased congressional districts, which is how they apportion deligates.  But now that won't happen.  Instead Romney proved the odds makers wrong and all of the Democratic robo calling did not work at all.  It would seem there are more Union workers who don't care if their President would all like to fire them.  This is really strange.  It flies in the face of self interest.  But now Santorum's month long February reign may come to an end with the calendar month.

Well we've been saying it for months if not over a year and that is that Statin drugs for anti cholesterol are in fact dangerous and produce brain damage.  Now there is a bigger body of evidence and the Food and Drug Administration has taken notice and ordered that drug warns be put on.  These Staten drugs will produce various troubling symptums such as memory loss, which isn't small potatoes.  These drugs also cause mental confusion or just a state of Confusion in general.  Also these drugs will raise your blood sugar, which is never a good idea if you're pre diabetic.  Also various muscle problems have been noted with this drug.  This is all to cure a problem which could be handled in a much more healthy and wholesome way by just controling your diet and eating proper foods.  But people reach for a pill instead and pay top dollar to do it.  Now they are saying that that ten year old girl who was found dead after a fight with an eleven year old classmate over a boy- - may have in fact died as a complication of that confrontation.  They say that dizziness and spaciness are not the worst symptums you can have after a fight.  Now they are saying if hours later you are just "tired - -and just want to lie down and go to sleep" this could be a deadly sign.  This is because it means the brain stem has swollen and is now inflamed and is cutting off vital brain functions you need to live.  Of course you know that one and four old people are taking Staten drugs now, which is troubling.  This is a class of drugs which caught on with the medical profession amazingly quickly.  Ten years ago I doubt anybody even heard of them.  But now they are also saying that these stomach acid blockers aren't such a good thing because they create a furtile environment in your digestive tract for paracites, which can remain in your system for weeks and cause you all sorts of symptum problems that may not be traced back for weeks.  I think that drugs which interfere with the body's own natural protective defenses are always dangerous and should be shunned.

Of course now three students have died in that Ohio school cafeteria shooting the other day.  One ordenary guy who was the last guy anyone would suspect just went on a shooting rampage in a cafeteria one day.  Now three students have died.  One yesterday and two today, and others may follow.  They said his father was arrested for attempted murder or something and came from a stormy family setting.  Of course in the future they may have brain scans to screen for such personalities before they act.  "How can they do that?" you ask.  Remember I told you they now have demonstrated brain scans that can tell when the brain is sending out signals not of your "thoughts" per se, but of your Intent- - - Volitional Intent - - to execute a certain Act.  This would be invaluable for Police to have and use on suspects for which they planned to make some sort of prosecution deal with.  In the future who knows but every month the students will line up in the cafeteria and have their monthly brain scans, as routine as airport security groapings are now.

In Egypt they knew about the Pythagerean Therum before the Greeks had officially "proved" it.  The Egyptians studied astronomy and may have been the first to deduce the 26,000 grand cycle of the pole star around the heavens.  The key thing here is that on the "other side" of this grand circle would be 11,000 BC and the Sun was just entering the Sign of Leo from Virgo, on the first day of spring.  There was one more bad wave of the Ice Age to occur just after this that ended this civilization. After the nineteenth dynesty [Stop the presses.  I meant the eighteenth dynesty obviously.  You people should have been tossing pebbles at my window last night for this error.  I had numeric dyslexia thinking the eighteenth followed the nineteenth] came to an end just past 1500 BC, foreigners named the Hipero are Hyxos or "Shepherd Kings" ruled the land.  Some would infer that this is when Joseph of Bible fame ruled the land.  However there is not one shred of proof that either Joseph or Moses ever lived or in any way made their presence known in Egypt. ]Though Historically there is no foundation, Jim Morrison tells me that he was Ramses the First, not the Second, but the first.  And that I was his half brother with a Hyperu father, who was a descendant of Dedan by Ketura, and called a Midianite in the bible, closely related to the Arabec people more than the so called "Jews".]  Most Bible races can be trace down to some historical root.  But not the "Ismealites", who were said to have transported Joseph to Egypt in some slave purchase deal.  After this anyhow, the Ishmaelites disappear completely from the Bible.  The prophecy about them becomming a world wide empire with Twelve Kings, never came to pass.  As to Blacks tracing their roots to Egypt, the Mormons would claim this because both "Egypt" (a literal "son") and "Mizream" were descendants of Ham and as such were cursed by God as the slave race as Isac prophisied against him after a drunken fit in a tent.  We know of the Osirus connection and we people from the Federation link our name of Orion to this association with Osirus.  It's the ancient history of the root Reigelian race.  The mystery of Osirus is that death and life are partners and one is constantly transforming itself into the Other.  (Selah)

All The Political Impostors

Late note:  At first posting I didn't like this photo.

  It was too dark so I had to lighten it up.

IF you're reading this on February 28th 2012 then this is the lead sentense of this posting.  Of course people are in a Political frame of mind today and so am I because two large states are having Primaries, and neither one of them is a Southern state where Newt is expected to mop up next week - - at three dollars an hour.  As to these Pictures you never can be entirely sure which photo is going to "blow up" nicely, and for which one Viagara is useless because you see it just isn't going to work out.  The guy to the left of him as we view this photo, by the way is a guy named Fred who has been in the hospital two months.  On Christmas Night, Seid told us he visited him in the hospital and to ignore all the roomers that have been spread about him, and not to repeat them.  Of course with that Mormon "guilt by association" thing I've got going, I doubt Fred is to the left of vary many, politically.  I don't listen to any roomers that are spread around in this place anyhow, if for the pragmatic reason that they aren't reliable.  Loretta Hill must have herself debunked at least a half a dozen of them.  Of course I got up "pretty early in the morning" today.  I think it was before five.  I'm still kind of in an "Egypt" frame of mind so will keep that Wallpaper up a couple days longer on my computer and then switch to my favorite Mt Rainier picture, which is usually up on the board by mid February.

 Well KTLK radio was buzzing with excited commentary this morning.  Of course Stephanie Miller is off this week but the substitutes were ajudicating themselves very nicely.  It seems a bunch of friends of Stephanie Miller are off in Arizona and they went to a nightclub to see "a bronzed God".  Gee, and I didn't even know Nicholas was gona Be in Arizona.  No doubt it's either to get in on the lucritive Ice Cream business or else to get one of Stephano Di Mira's customized tatoos.  MITT ROMNEY CAN AND WILL LOSE THE MICHIGAN STATE PRIMARY TODAY despite the fact of  Michigan being one of his several "Home States".  Now the Democrats are being solicited for support and to have the democratic version of "Opporation Chaos" that Rush Limbaugh was talking about today, not entirely un-sympathetically.  Yes, Rush was chiding his Mitt Romney listeners who are probably angry enough to spit nails because he isn't siding with them.  But Rush Limbaugh points out that how can Mitt Romney believe he can defeat President Obama in November when he can't beat Rick Santorum today?  Now the democrats are being appealed to because after all Romney took your jobs, and besides, Romney is really from Massachusetts.  And the robo call goes on to admonish the listener "Not to waste your vote on Ron Paul".  Yes there are so many that claim that Ron Paul has functioned as kind of a stealth "Wing man" for Mitt Romney, attacking anyone in the Debates that attacks Romney.  I haven't picked up on this myself, but there are a lot of people who have noticed it, and now Rick Santorum himself is bringing it up.  For those who are worried that Santorum might be some kind of phoenix rising from the political ash heap like Ronnie Boy, I might just say that Santorum lacks neither the looks nor charisma, nor the political Intelligence, for that matter, to go all the way.  Of course Ronald Reagan did pull a few early boners like, "A tree is a tree- - how many do you have to look at?"  Oddly he also said "Income Taxes should hurt" and was against withholding.  A lot of people on the work payroll just might cotton to that idea.  Nobody seems to be campaigning in Arizona.  Apparently that's Romney country because a lot of Mormons live there so it's uncontested.  Rush Limbaugh tried to make some point about how the Republican establishment now distrusts Romney for the odd reason of "- - - but you were supposed to be the Moderate candidate, but now because of everything you have said, you may have too conservative of a paper trail to win in November".  Leave it to Rush to say things nobody else thought of.  But if Newt wins next week- - then indeed three candidates will have substantial bodies of deligates.  Some may be able to enter state races where the filing deadline hasn't arrived yet, but the math is such that alone wont secure them enough votes, but they could sure as hell muddy the waters for either Ricky or Mitt.  I realize all this is going to sound silly and speculative for those reading this a few months from now because for you it isn't idle speculation- - but whatever actually happened is history and perhaps "Old News" by now.  So - - my apologies in advance.  Just humor us people who are stuck here in the past.

Of course at times some of you are stunned by a deafening 19,000 shrieking electronically generated tape bias noise.  For you I suggest that you remove your cranial unit and adjust your time chronometer and play the transmission back at the proper speed.  One of my favorite come-back zingers to the idea of "don't be bothered by what other people think" is the line about "Lesser people than you don't compare themselves to anybody:,  (do you want to be like them?)  You know who I'm talking about - - your latent Sociopathic personality that hasn't yet "joined the human race" so to speak.  As the President said today in the World Community we truely "are our brother's keeper".  And the idea of comparing God to a skin product alludes to the Dylan song "Long Time Gone" with the lyric of "You can have your beauty it's skin deep and it only lies.  You can have your youth which will rot before your eyes".  You know, if you think about it people use Religion the same way they use make-up.  They apply it to themselves at certain times when they socialize among a certain class of people.  They do it to "modify" who they appear to be, and also to protect them from the ravages of aging and - - - Death.  If people weren't afraid of Death, religion would hold no power over them.  Certain people without a conscience are able to controle other people by manipulating their deepest fears.  And while I'm at it, I suggest everybody listen to "Last thoughts on Woody Guthrie".  It's that long track at the end of Disk One of "The Bootleg Tapes" by Bob Dylan.

One thing we haven't been darkened by in a long time is political Assasenation, particularly during a Presidential Campaign.  Al was one of the people who believed that one of the big motivations for the President's betrayal of the Left and his base is because people have told him if he wants to stay alive he had better do it the way a certain THEM wants it done- - or else suffer the consequences.  There is still too high of a climate of hate in this country and the President has barely begun his Political Campaign.  By all accounts he expects to make a major affair out of it.  That's a lot of security planning.  I would suggest that our Prayers be with the President but being the Determinist I am I realize that what is Destined has in a sense already Happened, so that wishing it away is as vain as wishing away History.  So we just have to Hope.  Yes, Hope is the "last refuge of the Chronologically ignorant".  (Hey that's a good Line)  Astrologically the economy won't always live a charmed life, so as the addage goes, "Make hay while the sun shines".   (Selah)

Go Ahead - Escape It If You Can

Go placidly amid the darkness, noise and haste of the Material World, and remember what peace there may be in silence.

As far as possible, without surrender, be on good terms with all persons. Speak your truth quietly and clearly; and listen to others, even to the dull and the ignorant, they too have their story. Avoid loud and aggressive politicians, they are vexations to the spirit.

If you compare yourself with others, it is a sign that you are not insane; for always there will be lesser persons than yourself who compare themselves to no one. Enjoy your achievements as well as your plans. Keep interested in your own career, however humble; it is a real possession in the changing fortunes of time.

Exercise caution in your business affairs, for the world is full of trickery. For everyone serves Idols but try and escape it if you can.  You might sleep under burlap.  You might sleep under silk, you might like to drink whiskey, you might like to drink milk, you may fight with pea shooters, you might fight with guns and tanks, you might live off the financial blood of corpses, you may even own banks.  They may call you Oprah, they may call you slimy, your name might be Ron Paul, your name might be Zimmy but still you serve your Idols.  But let this not blind you to what virtue there is; many persons strive for high ideals, and everywhere life is full of heroism. Be yourself. Especially, do not feign affection. Neither be cynical about love, for in the face of all aridity and disenchantment it is perennial as the grass.  And this above all, to thine own self be true, for it will follow as the night doth the day that thow canst not be false to any man, no matter how many of them you have in your life.

Take not kindly to the counsel of the years, and do not gracefully surrender the things of youth. Nurture strength of spirit to shield you in sudden misfortune. For the Youth has the strength to bounce back.  But do not distress yourself with imaginings. Many fears are born of fatigue and loneliness. Many more are from the negative thoughts of people who fancy themselves as Pious.

Beyond a wholesome discipline, be gentle with yourself. You are a child of the universe, no less than the trees and the stars; you have a right to be here. And whether or not it is clear to you, no doubt the universe is unfolding as it should.

Therefore be at peace with God, whatever you conceive Him to be, but don’t try to peddle God like a new brand of skin cream, for you do him and yourself a disservice, and whatever your labors and aspirations, in the noisy confusion of life, keep peace in your soul.

With all its sham, drudgery and broken dreams, it is still a beautiful world.

Be cheerful. Strive to be happy.

BALLAD OF WILLARD


There one was a man who was a Mormon
He was turned out of a Hotel by a man named Norman
And he just lost all his money cause protestors were stormin'
And they took over congress and they killed the doorman


What if Mitt was one of us
Just a slog like one of us
And he didn't have no money
Cause his fate wasn't sunny
And he just had to hop the bus
- - and get out of town


If Willard had a contience would he die of shock
And his death was announced
by the crowing of the cock
And he said he'd do it all
But he went and dropped the ball
And when push came to shove
He just couldn't walk the walk


What if Mitt was one of us- - -


If Willard had sense
Would he still be on the fence
What if his life were myrthless
And he discovered he was worthless
Without his family and his money
In the state where bees make honey
And all the jokesters getting punny
But he doesn't find it funny


What if Mitt was one of us
Just a slog like one of us
And his fortune wasn't sunny
Cause he just lost all his money
And he just had to hop the bus
And get out of town?

Buenos Nuevos Para Los Paranoias

If you're me it's major good news from Dr. Levy today.  He offered to store my entire LP record collection so that I am no longer under the gun.  I also raided his coin collection in his car to get money for one pack of cigarettes and badly needed coffee creamer, and I made myself a fresh batch of coffee on this rainy day.  This rain came from out of nowhere.  Before class not a drop and ten minutes later it's pouring down.  They cancled the Daytona 500 race for the second day.  We have a computer test for you later and the answers all expressly listed for the first time.  My track record is such that it's better to err on the side of repetetion because odds are it's either new to people or others can finally take the opportunity to "get it".  Why is Randy Rhodes talking about trans vaginal ultra sounds.  So is that the punch like to the joke of "how do anaerobic bacteria communicate with each other long distance?  Sometimes when I talk or write I have this nasty habbit of leaving out key sentences and people can't follow my train of thought.  Marcia "got it" when I said that "Some people achieve Self Awareness when they are Young, but others don't achieve it till they are much older."  Some people seem almost "born - with it All Together" if you catch my drift.  And if you "get it" the first time, then it's old news if you hear it from others years or decades later.  For others the grade of the academic learning curve bores the hell out of them.  It's like Albert Einstein flunking out of second grade because the teacher kept nabbing him for daydreaming about plane geometry proofs.  (Either that or passing notes in class to Tony Sherdon)  Anyhow the red Teacher Book answers are now listed.

Pat Buchannon called college a “racket” because it’s fat cat tentured professors who keep their lectures in short supply and get aids to do their hard work, and sit around writing their books and journals.  So it kind of sounds like Pat Buchannon is sympathizing with the student applicants.  But really most people would see today's students as just idlers.  They are the same ones who say, for instance, that the cure for the chronic unemployment problem isn't training and opportunities, but eliminating unemployment payments, as though if you pretend the problem doesn't exist it will go away.  Probably a lot of people were taught if only by inference when they were young to ignore the poor and needy as "not part of our lives" and they will go away.  Other people would sound almost rational on the subject if we didn't know how they really felt. Santorum says “A lot of people don’t need college to get the kind of training they’ll need for a job”.  But he's already on record as despizing higher education as "anti God", even though he himself has benefited from a College education.  While I don’t buy Pat’s speech in total, I can’t help but think maybe some colleges are “rackets” in that all their money goes to Alumni organizations and their football teams, and that indeed students do take a lot of Junk Cources.  Students two years in aren’t any smarter on intelligence tests, and people take courses now that used to be required for graduation from High School.  Yesterday a High School diploma really meant something.  And this only points up the fact that tea party people's intellectual acuity falls far below even this.

You know - don't say you Wish for something; you just might get it.  A lot of people "Know not for what they wish" because they've never exactly experianced what they say they want and if they heard the testamonies of those who Had, they most likely would wonder why they bothered asking.  Many people Imagine some Rygone era about an American Christian Paradise that Never Was.  They idealize some image a Pastor had them Congure up in their Minds  I just wanted to do by warning a mention of Puritons and how they came to even Be in this country.  It seems they were actually kicked OUT of England by the good people of that country, who thought they were going nuts and they wanted the regular Royalty back because King Henry VIII was a step up in civil rights.  I think this was in the 1964's when there was a lot of tumalt and soon after this the people secured to themselves a lot of the English Common Law Rights, that we incorporate as our standard "Rights" today.  But then they came here.  Of course each community "Town Square" had implements of correction there such as a whipping post, a ducking stool and stocks.  And they even had penalties for kissing your wife in public and even skipping church on Sundays.  And they would do things like brand both cheeks with an R for Rogue (Sarah Palin wouls love that) or else nail your ear to a board, or slit your nostrels, Jack Nichelson style, or bore your tongue through with a hot poker.  Of course S O P for witch trials in those days was the ducking stool where if the woman managed to survive under water she was taken out and hanged as a witch.  And if she drowned- - - she was Innocent!  And they had drawing and quartering where you're on the ground beaten up or something and you're tied to four fast horses that each take off in different directions.  If you go into a Restaurant and learn that "hot stake" has been commuted to "cold chop".  But in those days when they spoke of a death sentense being "Commuted" this is just what they meant.  So when people hear Santorum talking about "The Town Square where people exercised their Faith" it means different things to different people.  Remember, George Washington refused to even say whether he was a Christian.  It's been said that a gay Communist has a better chance of being elected President today than a person who claims that they are e "Non Believer".  Think about that.  But if the Truth be Known, I suspect people are judged for their Actions based on whatever belief system they have, rather than the Beliefs themselves.

You know that our compilation "Termites on Patrol", kicks off with a certain Smitherines song they almost never play on the radio.  It's got the same drum beat as a certain John Lennon song with floating logs and a buzz saw in mind.  The comonality of "That which may never Be".  I think this whole song is more as a sarcastic "send up" rather than it is a serious philosophical disertation.  The moral of the song seems to be that it's "Ignorant" and "Hateful" to lament and be afraid of what you don't know.  And that somehow Life as we know it (as Spock would say) was not actually Real but some kind of game carried on by others in a Higher Dimension, at least as I can figure it and that Existance Itself coming to an end is really no big thing.   But who takes the trouble to actually "Parse" Beatle lyrics into what they actually Mean when you break then down gramatically?  Few do.  And I think the lyrics to "The Inner Light" are from the Tao Te Ching, after all.  Someone summed up the whole of Taoism as "Let It Happen".  It wasn't the Bhagdavad-gita because I've read that recently.  It's something common.  And of course another Beatle song opens form lines from "The Prophet" but everybody knows that one.
