Making Like a Tree

Oh, dear, some of you are thinking. "Making Like a Tree" was a saying quite a number of years ago. It meant "leaving."

Alarmists will be thinking in absolute terms. Pragmatics will be wondering exactly what I mean by "leaving" and who or what I'm "leaving."

I came to another of many "eureka" [not the tent . . . joke] moments in my long life yesterday. I probably knew this from some class I took "in the dark ages" but it just registered and I'll explain why.

I started taking Protandim over three months ago and I stopped taking my amitriptyline. The first few days, I felt SO great and for six weeks I was on top of the world. I didn't have 'Fibro-fog' and I could think clearly . . . well, crazy-quilt clearly for those who don't know me . . . and I had energy like I hadn't had in years and years . . . and then, it all slowly slipped away. Just . . . day by day, I got so tired, so lethargic, so "depressed" . . . my energy was depressed. I supplemented the Protandim with Glutathione [the organic chemical that Protandim creates using my own DNA].

I went to a new doctor in another County. He's an Internal Medicine doctor. I had my Medicare Physical. I'm in GREAT [though overweight] shape. My blood pressure, my heart, my thyroid, my cholesterol, my blood is healthy. And the Doctor [Jabaley] looked at my Effexor XP and said "you're depressed." Well, no, I'm taking that for the FMS, but I do notice that it keeps me from wanting to shoot "certain political types." [THAT IS A JOKE although there is truth in most jokes, including that one.] He prescribed all my meds including the amitrip, which I did NOT refill.

So, I stopped the Protandim and picked up Kyolic and Kyolic-greens and Krill Oil [sorry Whales, I hope there's still enough in the ocean for your diminishing numbers] and Glutathione. I'm also taking an "Active Senior" vitamin and Magnesium. But the ENERGY doesn't show up. [No matter what people say, the caffeine in black tea is NOT the same as the caffeine in coffee.]

The only time I notice that I do have a burst of energy is when I drink a "Red Bull." But that's like three cups of coffee and 90 mg of caffeine. NOT a habit anyone should get into as it taxes the heart muscle. I usually drink one when I'm driving to visit my children/grandchildren. After four or five hours on the road, I'm ready for a nap. The Red Bull is a great pick me up and wakes me up. [Brushing my teeth with a peppermint toothpaste used to work to wake me up.] But I'm not so uneducated in the physiology of my body that I'd make a habit of drinking Red Bull. It's for what I deem "emergency" use, only.

Well, Saturday, I ate out for breakfast . . . at a favorite breakfast restaurant owned and run by some friends. I had a bacon, egg, and cheese English muffin and three cups of coffee. I was about half way through the BEC when I noticed my body responding positively to the food.

Eureka . . . [not the vacuum cleaner]. My body needs not just a "balanced diet" whatever that really means; it needs a certain percentage of the nutrients in different foods. Not just protein, but also carbohydrates, fat, calcium, sodium, potassium, sugar, and vitamins and minerals and probably a lot of 'other' nutrients in small unnoticeable quantities. Energy. E=mc2. One of Einstein's great insights was to realize that matter and energy are really different forms of the same thing. Matter can be turned into energy, and energy into matter.



What does this have to do with me? Matter, or food, enters my body, is met "with the same amount of 'anti-matter' in my digestive tract" . . . starting with my mouth . . . and produces energy . . . that body chemistry that tells my brain "I feel great! I can conquer the world . . . or at least my part of my world." The energy that rejuvenates my body has to be the correct "formula" in order for it to be equal to the formula of the "anti-matter" needs of my body so that it can produce the energy I need to function and live.

Eureka . . . and I don't mean Archimedes' exclamation upon discovering how to measure the volume of an irregular solid to be able to determine the purity of a gold object.

So, I went to the grocery store and decided on a menu that I hope will give me the quality and quantity of nutrients my body needs to continue to produce the energy I need . . . and a side effect is that I'm "leaving" some of the groups I belong to . . . they DEPRESS me! All the politics and the stupidity and uncaring attitude by the person who sits in the Oval Office in DC . . . AND the Congress AND the Republicans in the House and Senate . . . not all of them . . . MOST of them . . . and the tiresome negative comments about the few Conservative Republicans who are DOING something . . . I've had it. I am leaving!

And my brain and body tell me I am doing the best thing for my own sanity.

Thanks Archimedes and if I may use your term: ηὕρηκα

An ER Doctor's Letter to Mr Obama

Dear Mr. President:

During my shift in the Emergency Room last night, I had the pleasure of evaluating a patient whose smile revealed an expensive shiny gold tooth, whose body was adorned with a wide assortment of elaborate and costly tattoos, who wore a very expensive brand of tennis shoes and who chatted on a new cellular telephone equipped with a popular R&B ringtone.

While glancing over her patient chart, I happened to notice that her payer status was listed as "Medicaid"! During my examination of her, the patient informed me that she smokes more than one costly pack of cigarettes every day and somehow still has money to buy pretzels and beer. And, you and our Congress expect me to pay for this woman's health care?

I contend that our nation's "health care crisis" is not the result of a shortage of quality hospitals, doctors or nurses. Rather, it is the result of a "crisis of culture", a culture in which it is perfectly acceptable to spend money on luxuries and vices while refusing to take care of one's self or, heaven forbid, purchase health insurance. It is a culture based in the irresponsible credo that "I can do whatever I want to because someone else will always take care of me". Once you fix this "culture crisis" that rewards irresponsibility and dependency, you'll be amazed at how quickly our nation's health care difficulties will disappear.

Directions: HOW TO FILE YOUR OWN CRIMINAL COMPLAINT NAMING OBAMA IN COMMISSION OF TREASON

I've copied most of the information, but I urge you to go to the source and read the information there.

The Jag Hunter

TO THE SPECIAL AGENT IN CHARGE OF YOUR NEAREST FEDERAL BUREAU OF INVESTIGATION (FBI) OFFICE:

I have observed invidious criminal attacks by political aristocrats against the Constitution.
Barack Obama has broken into and entered the White House by force of contrivance, concealment, conceit, dissembling, and deceit. Posing as an impostor president and commander in chief Obama has, for instance, stripped civilian command and control over the military establishment.

I come now to this reckoning. I accuse Mr. Obama and Obama’s political criminal assistants of TREASON. I name Obama and Obama’s criminal associates as traitors. Obama’s criminal ascension manifests a clear and present danger.

Obama fundamentally changed America’s form of government. The Constitution no longer works.
Confident holding Obama’s silent agreement and admission, I identify Barack Obama as a foreign born domestic enemy.

I stand for what Obama stands against. I stand for the Constitution!

Obama is not my president.

Obedient to the Constitution in submission of this criminal accusation for Treason I remain steadfast, and

Letter to my Congressman

30 July 2009

Dear Congressman Nathan Deal:

Hey, got to hear the discussion about Health Care on CSpan3. Very well put. 

I have a comment.  

WHY do the Democrats keep making the Drug Companies, Insurance Companies, and Doctors the "enemy" and attacking them? Don't they understand the economics of Medicine?  

Drug Companies are money making businesses, they spend a lot of years and their profits (and money from stocks) on discovering chemical formulas that result in helpful and healing drugs. There are major expenses for equipment, scientists, the every day costs of running a corporation (utilities, salaries, etc). Drugs don't just fall out of the air. Many take years and years to discover their efficacy. And each year has growing expenses for the Drug Companies. Add to that that many of the larger drug companies now have programs for people who cannot pay for their medicines. Their doctor can complete some forms for them and they get free or lower cost drugs from that company. Drug companies are not the enemy.  

Insurance companies are money making businesses too. They have just as much right as any other business to earn a living and to pay their employees a living wage. They don't sit in their offices and scheme how to dupe people out of their hard earned income. They use mathematics to figure out how much to charge for each insurance policy. Insurance companies don't care if States group together and lower their premium costs by providing a larger pool of people to purchase their insurance. It's NOT the Insurance Companies who are keeping people from forming large groups and purchasing Health Insurance. It's the States and probably (I didn't check) the Federal Government. Insurance Companies are not the enemy.  

Doctors are in business to earn a living for themselves and their staff, too. I've yet to meet a doctor who, if he/she couldn't reduce prices for a low income patient, would not refer that patient to a doctor who charged less. I've met doctors who will provide health care for a chicken. Yes, here in the States, in Suches, Georgia, Dr. Pruitt has been known to accept produce or farm animals in exchange for health care. He also secretly pays some of the costs of medication for his poorer patients whose pride would not allow them to accept "charity." There are some doctors who will forego their payment so that a patient can afford the hospital bill when the patient needs surgery. WHY do Democrats and the President saying that Doctors are in business to get rich? They ARE in business to pay their bills and earn a living, but they have hearts of gold . . . some maybe silver . . . but the vast majority care more about their patients than the President gives them credit for. Doctors are NOT the enemy.  

So who IS the enemy?  

I submit that WE are our own enemy. We meaning the Federal and State and Local Government and Lawyers and Laws. In many schools, children no longer have physical education because "they might get hurt" and their parents might sue. So the children sit all day and get fat. For every "excuse" imaginable, schools no longer teach Home Economics; schools no longer teach good etiquette and good eating habits. I haven't met a teacher since I was in school (about 45 years ago) who does "in room exercises" between classes to help burn energy and calories. School Administrations spend too much money on the salaries of the Administrators and little or none for programs which would educate students in good and healthful living habits. They want to teach small children about "Sam having two daddies" but they don't teach good eating habits. Nor do they have the parents come in for classes in how to prepare nutritious after school snacks. (The Extension Service used to do that when I was a little child 60 years ago.)  

As Adults, we sit and watch TV or sit in front of our Computers instead of getting actively involved in a hobby which would get our bodies moving. WE are responsible for much of our own Medical Problems and Costs. Not all of them, because we don't choose to catch pneumonia or to fall off a horse and break a leg. But we do choose to eat fattening foods and sit all day.  

How can Congress legislate that people quit watching reality television and get involved in some activity? They can't. Neither should Congress be involved in trying to provide Medical Health Coverage for everyone in the USofA.  

The Next thing, Congress will say we have a "right" to a life insurance policy. Where did I put my copy of the Constitution of the United States of America?  

Please bring up my concerns, if you can, and encourage Congress to vote NO on ANY Government Health Care.

Timely Sermon on Genesis 47: 13-27

Sermon from a church in Virginia recently. Gen 47: 13-27

Good morning, brothers and sisters; it's always a delight to see the pews crowded on Sunday morning, and so eager to get into God's Word. Turn with me in your Bibles, if you will, to the 47th chapter of Genesis; we'll begin our reading at verse 13, and go through verse 27.

Brother Ray, would you stand and read that great passage for us?... Thank you for that fine reading, Brother Ray.. So we see that economic hard times fell upon Egypt, and the people turned to the government of Pharaoh to deal with this for them. And Pharaoh nationalized the grain harvest, and placed the grain in great storehouses that he had built. So the people brought their money to Pharaoh, like a great tax increase, and gave it all to him willingly in return for grain. And this went on until their money ran out, and they were hungry again.

So when they went to Pharaoh after that, they brought their livestock - their cattle, their horses, their sheep, and their donkey - to barter for grain, and verse 17 says that only took them through the end of that year.

But the famine wasn't over, was it?

So the next year, the people came before Pharaoh and admitted they had nothing left, except their land and their own lives. "There is nothing left in the sight of my lord but our bodies and our land. Why should we die before your eyes, both we and our land? Buy us and our land for food, and we with our land will be servants to Pharaoh." So they surrendered their homes, their land, and their real estate to Pharaoh's government, and then sold themselves into slavery to him, in return for grain.

What can we learn from this, brothers and sisters?

That turning to the government instead of to God to be our provider in hard times only leads to slavery? Yes. That the only reason government wants to be our provider is to also become our master? Yes.

But look how that passage ends, brothers and sisters! Thus Israel settled in the land of Egypt , in the land of Goshen . And they gained possessions in it, and were fruitful and multiplied greatly." God provided for His people, just as He always has! They didn't end up giving all their possessions to the government, no, it says they gained possessions!

But I also tell you a great truth today, and an ominous one. We see the same thing happening today - the government today wants to "share the wealth" once again, to take it from us and redistribute it back to us. It wants to take control of healthcare, just as it has taken control of education, and ration it back to us, and when government rations it, then government decides who gets it, and how much, and what kind.

And if we go along with it, and do it willingly, then we will wind up no differently than the people of Egypt did four thousand years ago - as slaves to the government, and as slaves to our leaders.

What Mr. Obama's government is doing now is no different from what Pharaoh's government did then, and it will end the same.. And a lot of people like to call Mr. Obama a "Messiah," don't they? Is he a Messiah? A savior? Didn't the Egyptians say, after Pharaoh made them his slaves, "You have saved our lives; may it please my lord, we will be servants to Pharaoh"?

Well, I tell you this - I know the Messiah; the Messiah is a friend of mine; and Mr. Obama is no Messiah! No, brothers and sisters, if Mr. Obama is a character from the Bible, then he is Pharaoh.

Bow with me in prayer, if you will.

Lord, You alone are worthy to be served, and we rely on You, and You alone. We confess that the government is not our deliverer, and never rightly will be. We read in the eighth chapter of 1 Samuel, when Samuel warned the people of what a ruler would do, where it says "And in that day you will cry out because of your king, whom you have chosen for yourselves, but the LORD will not answer you in that day." And Lord, we acknowledge that day has come. We cry out to you because of the ruler that we have chosen for ourselves as a nation..Lord, we pray for this nation. We pray for revival, and we pray for deliverance from those who would be our masters.

Give us hearts to seek You and hands to serve You, and protect Your people from the atrocities of Pharaoh's government.

In God we Trust

Obama, QUIT Blaming Bush for DEMOCRAT Mistakes

Timeline shows Bush, McCain warning Democrats of financial and housing crisis; meltdown. THE BLAME FALLS AT THE FEET OF THE DEMOCRATS!!!

Thomas Paine . . . Speaks

Conclusions

I have come to the conclusion that Republicans in general are afraid of confrontation and conflict. They're wussies. They afraid of being attacked personally for the skeletons in their closets.

Democrats on the other hand wear their indiscretions as badges, thinking that it's an honor to be a thief, a whore monger or pro-killing-unborn-babies. They bait those who do not agree with their philosophies and then try to chew them up and spit them out in degraded heaps of human-dung.

Why are Republicans like this? Simple if you spend a few days contemplating all the potential and possible reasons, actually. Republicans are awash in an agendaless sea. The Republican leadership thinks that they can gain more members by becoming all encompassing and "centrist" or luke-warm on issues. Republican leaders think that by becoming "Democrat light" they will win over some of the more conservative Blue Dog Democrats. They know they'll never win over the Yellow Dog Democrats.

The Democrats look at the Republicans and snicker. Democrats have become the party of Socialism by appropriating social activism and when comparing it to capitalism; describing it as the opposite as if there can be no capitalism in social activism and no social activism in capitalism.

And both Parties are destroying the moral fiber of the USofA. To make the Republican Party stronger, the Legislators and their staffs must immerse themselves in the writings of The Founding Fathers. To get the correct mind set, they must study what was happening in American and World History at the time the Declaration of Independence, The Constitution and The Federalist Papers were written. They must be able to argue forceably using direct quotes from The Founding Fathers. And they must be alert to the Democrats' ploy of twisting conversations around to become attacks on the person who is speaking rather than on what the person is saying. The Democrats will have no argument to counter anyone who is speaking the truth and using direct quotes from The Founding Fathers. The Republicans must reprimand any Democrat who publicly or privately attacks the personality or character of any Republican. Or of any conservative. This behavior must not be tolerated.

And Republicans MUST NOT ATTACK EACH OTHER in public. A quiet meeting behind closed doors where those who disagree discuss their disagreements and their similarities and resolve their differences is more in keeping with the Founding Fathers' example.

I recently read that there is no one in the USofA who teaches Constitutional Law and that those who teach or have taught classes in Constitutional Law always have had a personal agenda, usually a liberal agenda. Mostly they tried to make The Constitution a "living document." Well, just like the Ten Commandments, The Constitution is set in stone. It's not 'dead' by any means, but it is not something that can be bent and twisted by those with an anti-Constitution agenda. There are no "10 suggestions" and there is no pick and choose Articles and Sections.

What is WRONG in Congress right now . . . and has been for over 100 years, is that Congress has not confronted UnConstitutional legislation and branded it as such. To save our Republic, Congress MUST insist that every piece of legislation pass the "Constitution smell test." And if it doesn't walk like the Constitution, talk like the Constitution and smell like the Constitution, the bill must be scuttled before it reaches the Floor of the House or the Senate.

And I'm passing this along to Chairman Steele, Sen. McConnell and Rep. Boehner and copying it to my other "pages" online.

Slow Down, Ya Move Too Fast & Ya Get Burned

Sent to Senators McConnell, Kyle, Chambliss, Isakson and Representatives Boehner, Cantor and Deal.

I have a huge problem, sir. The Current President 'warned that the financial crisis will turn into "a catastrophe" if the [Stimulus] bill isn't passed quickly.' WHY? What's his reasoning? What "catastrophe?" It needs to be elucidated so that Congress and the Voters know exactly what he's talking about. I disagree with his statement.

I don't think The Current President even knows what he's suggesting. There won't be a "financial catastrophe" if Congress slows down and studies each line of the so called, Stimulus Bill. The Bill by any other name is a huge Porkulus Bill. And I hear that some Republicans have tried to get their Pork added to the original Bill. And I hear that Sen Bi-Partisan McCain has been recruited by The Current President to try to "twist a few Republican arms" to go along with this hurried-up Bill.

You are old enough to know that there is a reason behind every "hurry up and do this" Legislation. And that reason usually benefits the author of the Bill or the person demanding that everyone else "hurry up." Let's look at this more closely. Who benefits from the "hurry up?" Why is there so much Pork in this Stimulus Bill. It goes way beyond most Pork-filled Bills. AND because the Pork is so predominant and noticeable, I contend that the Pork has been included in an effort to disguise the real purpose of the Bill.

Look a little deeper into this Bill. Read it all. Read every line. Cross out the Pork and then look at what's left. Who benefits the most? Is there lobbying involved and will they benefit from the Bill? There's something going on here that makes me very suspicious. I hope my letter has helped make you suspicious of the motives behind this "Stimulus Bill" too.

Wall Street got a Bail Out? What about YOU?

Wall Street Banks Received a Bail Out. What about ME?

When I think of all the money I have paid out to my credit card banks and then find out more than I can assimilate about how the banking industry works, I figure, I want to be bailed out, too. WELL, I can be. You can be, too. Any debt you have that is UNSECURED, like payment to a hospital or a credit card, is eligible to be eliminated without Bankruptcy, Consolidation, Refinancing, or Restructuring.

There are a lot of advertisements for some kind of credit counseling where you pay a company $xxx a month for them to negotiate with your creditors for a decreased total payment over time, usually two or more years, before your debt is paid off. Each month, depending on how much unsecured debt you have, you'll be paying quite a bit of money. Once you have paid in the agreed amount, the company then pays your creditors. Depending on the company, it can take six months or more before your credit is restored.

You don't have to use one of those companies if you don't want to. I found another way to quit paying on my unsecured credit.

{EDITED 1/12/09
Today I was referred to some negative information online by a friend. I researched and located 2 complaints: 1 person changed her mind and decided on bankruptcy and the other person said the program took too long. I found no other negative reports.}

If you're still interested, comment and I'll get information to you (all strictly confidential). If you find this program not to be what you expected, please let me know.

The Great Lie: Pope Benedict XVI On Socialism

Why did Marx never explain how socialism would work? Pope Benedict XVI writes:

(Marx's) silence on this matter follows logically from his chosen approach. His error lay deeper. He forgot that man always remains man. He forgot man and he forgot man's freedom. He forgot that freedom always remains also freedom for evil. He thought that once the economy had been put right, everything would automatically be put right. His real error is materialism: man, in fact, is not merely the product of economic conditions, and it is not possible to redeem him purely from the outside by creating a favourable economic environment.

And so the pope has put the problems of economics exactly in the right light: the practical issue that needs to be settled within the framework of a sound morality and understanding of human nature. Socialism fails for a precise and practical reason: It has no system for pricing factors of production to make economic calculation possible. Prices come from the exchange of the very private property with which socialism dispenses.

And yet the moral problem with socialism is more profound: It exalts theft as an ethic and overlooks the human right of freedom.

A Little History Lesson

A Time Line for Weathermen Underground in PDF with newspaper clippings attached. This is something you might want to read, especially if you lean to the Left politically speaking. This is what Liberal Ideology produces. The anger that some Democrats feel toward President Bush and Senator McCain and Governor Palin can too easily be manipulated by someone like Senator Obama or Professor Ayers into a rage willing to kill the perceived enemy. I've witnessed this hatred first hand. It is blind rage which believes that by destroying the perceived enemy their anger will be abated and all will be well. The problem is, killing the perceived enemy only produces a murderer who remains angry and wonders if he or she could have done more or should have done more in order to quell the surging interior rage and anger. The anger and rage are within, not without. Changing circumstances will not terminate the rage and anger. Only a changed heart, soul, mind, spirit through salvation and the conforming of the conscience to God's Word and Will can end the suffering caused by rage and anger.

Salvation has in Scriptural language the general meaning of liberation from straitened circumstances or from other evils, and of a translation into a state of freedom and security.
