The other day I read that two men and a young woman were beaten in a hotel by LGBT activists for not allowing the males into the female’s bathroom while an elderly woman was using it. Now this is really getting out of hand.
The funny point is this is a question of fact over perception. Men that want to be women or women that want to be men want to act the role without being one. In this twisted world that we live in where fact is discounted and truths are determined to be relative, that leaves the civil society only one choice to me, that is to make a major change.
Bathrooms should no longer be labeled Men or Women. The bathrooms must now be changed to the point where there is no ability to rationalize away truth. This means that one bathroom must be labeled Humans with Penis or Human with Vagina. I believe this would solve the issue.
Human with penis, no longer means a male that is heterosexual. Human with Vagina, no longer means a woman that will most likely have children and be a loving mother. Now we just simply state the fact allowing no space for relativism and interpretation.
The future’s bathrooms will now be marked P or V. This will have to come soon for society to survive or we will be having more violent altercations due to this perversion of reality.
I had the most interesting revelation yesterday. I was reading about the evils in World War Two. The Nazis and their intent on destruction of the Jews and Christians that stood in their way. I wondered how is it that this came to be? How could so many peopled be duped by the socialist fascists of the day to denounce and kill their fellow human beings for the mere reason that they were different. They did not pose a physical threat to anyone.
Then I realized it was lack of real courage.a lack of fortitude against evil and finally it was a lack of love. To be able to love in the face of evil is true courage.
People who perpetrate evil acts are actually cowards. They are not tough in the least. This is why they need to work in crowds or act in darkness. They don’t want to be seen for what they truly are. They pass laws that are against the natural order of life behind closed doors. They blackmail others to do their bidding through money or threats. Their lack of ability to defend their positions in the public square without first having to resort to back door tactics and later to violence proves their obvious lack of intellect. Without reason, they have no defense so they always have to strong arm those that can deconstruct any arguments they claim to have.
Many people people betray their fellow man for selfish gains such as power and wealth. They are shallow and their lives are empty. Eventually they lose the position of worldly power when men and women begin to stand up against evil.
For men and women to stand up to evil they have to first acknowledge that every human life is precious. Without this first step then there is no room for love. When mankind acknowledges that all human life is precious then courage comes into the heart. That courage comes into existence because of LOVE for all mankind. Until this becomes the priority in men’s heart then many cowards will let evil run rampant in this world.
Evil men and women are no only in far away countries. They are in the cities of every major country in the world. They have made a stronghold in most of the cities in the United States of America and now threaten to run every aspect of an individual’s life. This can only be done when the state becomes totalitarian. Sadly my friends unless we have the courage to stand up when someone wants you to accept lies as truths then we will become the cowards and willing accomplices of evil.
This is what happened in the Germany of the National Socialist German Workers’ Party., Socialist Russia, Communist China, Communist Cuba and many other places around the globe. Millions have died at the hands of cowards with weapons. Hundred of thousands tortured and killed to push forward their agenda.
It is time that every individual stand up for each other. Every human life is important! I might not agree with you but I must stand up for your right to speak your mind at any time anywhere respectfully. When governments start creating laws to prohibit freedom of speech like in New York City where you will be fined if you call a male “Mister” if he considers himself a “She” is an unjust twist of the natural order (another word for reality) and an outright lie.
We can’t believe it but it is happening. It is time people stop being cowards and open their hearts by loving and protecting their fellow man. This can be done by defending truth and freedom and freedom of speech.
Over two thousand years ago
A king’s greed shocked a nation
Children murdered
To protect his power and wealth
Herod who are you?
How is it that you still live?
Many men of our day make you,
Their god of worship
In their hearts
No life is safe,
Not in a mother’s womb
As they give up their children
For an alleged better life
The babies are cut into pieces
Body parts sold for experiment
The destruction of life
The population of countries
No war has been more heinous
No crime so disgusting
Herod, Hilter…..Satan
The goal being accomplished
By those chosen for destruction
They buy into the lies
That material goods and career
Bring joy in this life
Pure nonsense
It is the bane of wise men
Later they awaken
To the evil in their hearts
What have I done?
Where are my children?
Why am I alone at the end of my days?
Their bodies are a shell
No more attraction in this world
No love to fill that empty space
Herod filled their earth
They saw the many praying
Upon death of the innocents
Weeping for their sins,
Praying for their conversion
To turn away and
Join the world building lives
Rachel is weeping
At Ramah,
At the Unites States of America
At the European Union
At the United Nations
For their children are no more
I drank at a bar in old Sao Paolo
Where I drank cachaça mixed with lime and soda
Es-oh-d-aye soda
They walked up to me and asked me what chance
If they used my name and to found a new party and I said Lula
El-U-el-aye Lula la-la-la-la Lula
Well we formed the group the worker’s party
And then I ran for president in 1989
They shouted Lula la-la-la-la Lula
Well I’m not dumb but I can’t understand
Why Brazil loved me as a young man
Shouting Lula la-la-la-la Lula la-la-la-la Lula
Well we worked some more and drank many nights
Under electric candlelight
They picked me up and told to me
You’re going to do what we ask, you will see
Well I’m not the world’s brightest guy
But when I looked in their eyes they greased my palm and said Lula
La-la-la-la Lula la-la-la-la Lula
Lula la-la-la-la Lula la-la-la-la Lula
I pushed away
and walked to the door
Gliding across the floor
I smiled with my teeth
Then I looked at them and them at me
Well that wasn’t the way that it would stay
We won two elections using my name Lula
La-la-la-la Lula
Money will buy toys and make my mind swirl
It’s a mixed up muddled money laundering world for Lula
La-la-la-la Lula
Well I left the presidential office years before
And I’d never ever thought they’d find out more
But I’m Lula smiling and waving my hand
And they said dear boy you’re going in the can
Well I’m not the world’s most intelligent man
And when they greased my palm I should have ran
La-la-la-la Lula la-la-la-la Lula
Lula la-la-la-la Lula la-la-la-la Lula
Every year Christmas day will come. For many the preparations are many. Such as decorating their homes inside and out, buying gifts for loved ones, and planning the events that come along with the holiday. Christmas parties at friends’ homes, parties with our companies of employment and thanking people for their kindnesses during the year.
But where does this holiday really come from? Oh yes, I know people understand that it is about the birth of Jesus Christ in a manger with humble beginnings. It is the date the Church marks to celebrate his birthday and start the new church calendar year. It is only just that the beginning of the church calendar should start on the date of acknowledgment of the founder’s birthday. Then it begins.
But why do we give gifts? Some look to the Three Wise Men who brought the infant child who would be King; gold, frankincense and myrrh. They recognize who he is and what it meant to the people of the world. They knew that nothing would be the same after the infant child would grow old enough to make known his true purpose. Even they with their worldly knowledge did not discern the true purpose. They did not realize that the world would change.
The gift giving tradition which was accredited to have begun over 1500 years ago by a Christian Bishop by the name of Nicholas in what is now known as modern day Turkey. The birthday of Christ was set to be celebrated at the same time the pagans celebrated the winter solstice. This is of no consequence as ST. Nicholas did this out of his Christi love for the poor and needy. Still the real meanings lies deeper I believe.
The gift giving to each other is a symbol of the gift that God gave us on this earth. The god-man that came down to live with us to teach us the truth of what real love is. The truth of that love is a sacrifice and concern for our neighbors while always remembering our own lives are also a gift from God himself. Jesus Christ taught us that if we are to love we must learn to do it even unto death. He killed the selfishness that existed in the world at the time. He raised the Jewish tradition of love and concern for family to include all men of the world as they were born by God’s will. Jesus was a Jew who changed the world knowing from the moment he entered it he would have to give His life to do it. The true gift he gave us was He and the light which His light which we need every day to live in joy on this world and in exultation with God in the next.
To answer my question; “is Christmas anticlimactic?” I pose to you that it cannot be. This is simply because it is only the beginning of our walk with Christ Jesus. We prepare for Christmas day by day sacrificing little bits and pieces of our lives for others, with prayer and good will. If we have done this when the day comes it is not anything like getting to the end of a show. Instead it is more like being at the gates to a beautiful paradise with hills and valleys that we know we will need to traverse over and over again until we achieve the true end of our work on earth. That is to create a peace and love on earth which knows no bounds.
Only one human being has been able to do this and it is His birth which we acknowledge during the twelve days of Christmas. But the gift we have given should not end on when Christmas ends but should continue for all 365 days of the year. However, there is no harm done in giving in a sign of the gift of love we all wish for and should try to grant everyone we meet.
I saw the new Star Wars “The Force Awakens” movie this week. There was tremendous hype surrounding the movie. Everyone in the major media was singing its praises. Because of this and how often I have been led astray by critics when their purses are being lined by the major production companies I went with the expectation of a mediocre movie at best.
As you may have surmised I am going to tell you my thoughts. The first thing is that the studio spent a lot of money on special effects and very little on the story. In the days that eye candy was rare in terms of quality special effects this may have on its own saved a poor movie. We now live in an age where 90% of all action films lack any story that makes sense. The action itself is so unbelievable; it often shocks me as to how stupid the studios think the public actually is. They actually expect us to accept any premise no matter how fantastic. This movie fell in line with the standard formula. It also reaches the height of ridiculousness like movies such as Fast and the Furious.
The New “Death Star” destroys planets by sucking energy from a Sun and then sending that energy as a blast to blow up a planet. Why don’t they just suck the energy off of the sun from the planet’s solar system and the planet would die by itself?
Then they destroy two planets in the Republic, which if they are anything like present day earth support billions of sentient beings and animal life. This calamity is met with less attention than an earlier skirmish and to top it off there is no reflection on the part of the characters about what has happened. This lack of character development leads most of us to have very little concern for the main characters as well.
My favorite character in the movie Finn, a former Storm Trooper, whoops it up during a skirmish when the storm troopers are being killed by the resistance. I can’t imagine that a person who was supposed to have been born and raised to be a Storm Trooper himself would have absolutely no remorse for his former comrades. After all he knows that they have all been programmed by birth as he was and that it was only due to some unforeseen “force” that he himself was able to change and rebel.
The Force Awakens – Finn
Then of course, the real bad guys come into play. Oh, yes they are nasty. But wait, one is the son of Han Solo and General Leia. He has a soft spot and we are supposed to feel sorry for him and hate him at the same time. It is so sad that he can never be as bad as his Grandpa Darth Vader. He also can’t beat the leading lady Rey when it comes to the force. Though she has had no training and he has had the best, he fails to beat her in a light saber duel. But he did manage to kill his daddy with his guard down to prove he is bad.
Finally the rebellion manages to blow up the “Star Killer base”. While the base seems to take mere minutes to destroy planets in systems far, far away it goes into slow motion to implode on itself. Meanwhile Finn, Rey and Chewbacca fight their way to a dysfunctional ship that always performs perfectly when it needs to.
Finally, most of the subplot was about trying to find Luke Skywalker, the key to defeating the dark side. In the end with the help of the droids they track him down. Rey goes out to meet with him on some remote mountaintop in a distant solar system. Many will claim that this story was weak because all it was about was setting us up for the next movie which will be much better…I doubt it.
I guess this type of movie, lacking any serious character development with an extremely weak story line has a home. I think that home though has been developed through the incredible marketing powerhouse that is Disney. A skillfully developed perception as by the emperors’ tailors, this story is a rehash of the original and lacks the proper attire to be taken as a serious attempt at quality entertainment. In the end I feel like the child in the famous fable shouting “the emperor is not wearing any clothes!”
All through-out out this country we have Hand-dryers in rest rooms. A great way to save on paper waste but is it really helping the environment? Let’s think about the more common ones. In most places you have your hand under the dryer for close to a minute. The reason being, you have to run it twice. Still when you walk away from the apparatus in most cases your hands are not as dry as you would like them. In addition to that in some places they also have paper so you take a piece of paper towel to finish the job.
Does this make sense? Of course not, the best decision is to have either a hand dryer that can do the job in 30 seconds or a paper towel that you only need one sheet. Believe it or not, both of these items do exist.
I was in Knoxville airport a few weeks back and after having washed my hand reached for the paper towel. The paper was so absorbent it only took one piece. Last week I was at a restaurant in NYC that hand a hand dryer that only took me one time and I actually think it may have been less than 30 seconds.
In the end it is all about the cost. Some buy the cheap paper or less expensive dryers thinking they are saving money. However in the end the amount of paper used is three times more and the energy used with the poorer quality dryers is also about three times.
In the end analysis the old axiom applies. You get what you pay for. For those of us using the rest rooms in public places we just wish the people behind these decisions were not so short sighted. The less time in these bathrooms the better.
As I get older I realize that there is no reason under the sun to have to rush around. Now I am not saying to do the opposite and take your sweet time about things. But there is a balance between being over exuberant and under enthusiastic.
Take for instance going to pick up some take-out food. Last night I realized that to where I was going there are two options. I can take the highway and get there fast or take the back-roads and get there a few minutes later. What is the difference?
I had to weigh the options. The highway I would have to deal with hostile drivers and be on the offensive myself. The other route does not demand either from me and in fact keeps my more aggressive tendencies at bay. This means that I am able to relax put on some relaxing music and simply enjoy the moment.
I chose the back-roads. The restaurant was on the highway so I had to traverse the road for a short time. Yet choosing the back roads made the experience pleasant. This little life tweak I believe puts me in a better frame of mind and all the day to day worries are not compounded with the stress of putting myself in more demanding situations.
I guess what I am trying to say is that sometimes it is the simple decisions we make that can better enable us to cope with the more difficult problems we have in our life. It seems that everything in life is on a scale. When one side of the scale gets to heavy we need to add to the other side. If we do not learn to do this the scale will tip and all we have worked for will come to naught.
I have had this idea in my head for many months. I want to write a book about my battle with my weight. The reason is because so many books about dieting are not about the actual experience of doing it but “How To” books. Mine will be more of a “How Not To” book. The goal is not to write some great large tome but a short narrative about my experiences which will help others avoid the pitfalls and the marketing schemes that lead people like me to failure.
I have written a few pages already and I like the flow. I think it will be such a short and easy read that it should be popular when I bring it to print. I unlike my father, I am writing for the masses. The plan is to make it an eBook. I believe this will reach a greater audience. If it is successful then I will write larger volumes. But I have learned over the years it is better to test the waters than to jump in head first without knowing what lies ahead.
