History repeats itself
2015 fundamentalist Christian America is just like 1939 Germany before it.
A census of Nazi Germany in May 1939, six years into the Nazi era, and incorporating the annexation of mostly Catholic Austria into Germany, indicates that 54% considered themselves Protestant (including non-denominational Christians), and 40% Catholic.

I am wearing a diaper. Ever since the onset of cancer 3 years ago I have had a horribly unstable bowel. My choice is to stay indoors or to wear a diaper and fight for Palestine. Tuesday I forgot the diaper, had to walk across Washington on business and needed to spend 45 minutes in a Whole Foods restroom cleaning up.
The people that do not make negative posts, and or object to them, are in pathological denial how dire the future is in every aspect, primarily due exactly to that pathological denial.
The reason that virtually everyone that has ever gotten close to me, leaves, it's because after some time, a very long time often, they realize that I really am who I say I am. Sometimes it takes them a long time before they understand. For the longest time people always find it inconceivable that I really who I say I am. Amazing.
From almost literally my earliest recollections I was a raging sexaholic, thinking it a virtue given the culture in which I was raised, American, Disney, Hollywood, mass media, Wall Street suburb... Culture. My culture, our culture, taught me this was virtue and I thought it was. Only by about 14 years ago could I finally see, and more importantly feel, experience, that I was living a grotesque-feeling addiction, addictive life, simply the life our sickest of all cultures teaches us is normal, healthy, desirable, exciting, good, appropriate.... I thought I was living a life of love. Primarily I was living a life of lust. I would trade any moment then for the life, the sexless life EXPERIENCE, that I have now. ANY OR ALL of my pitiful existance of lustings, then, for more moments of my life of Loving, now.
***** The price of facing and living the truth in this society is so total, materially, that virtually no one, probably including you, chooses to do it. Truth is God. God is truth. As Gandhi explicitly recognized. Consequently, neither any of us, or our all powerful culture, are living in alignment with Creator, doing the will of Creator, rather we live opposite. This is why all is coming to an end now.
Dire warning to those that think that the right-wing reactionary reversals we are seeing today, like that mentioned below, those who think this is an aberration, please heed the following: I too was clueless that we could go so radically backward. Look up United States reconstruction after the Civil War. His name escapes me at the moment, Columbia University I think, a professor that is a world noted authority on the subject. That is, if you are not as clueless on the subject as almost all of us are. I am learning recently that reconstruction was a breathtaking time radical social justice. And within 20 years the counter revolutionary forces had virtually completely reverse the good that had been done and that was intended. That is exactly what we see repeating itself now and the evil is just as likely to prevail now as it did then.
Stop Palestine death vigil White House, picture: those who are sure there's only one path to Creator no nothing of Creator.
I would rather stand apart from every human being if that is what is required to stand with Creator, than to stand with any human being and against Creator.
Will I avoid the hospital and emergency room this time? Another incident of bowel obstruction is manifesting itself. Likely to be a rough night.
If all non human species had the ability to organize they would have eradicated earth of that which is destroying everything, humans. What a pity that they can't do it. Avatar.
In 1987, a 74-year old rickshaw puller by the name of Bai Fangli came back to his hometown planning to retire from his backbreaking job. There, he saw children working in the fields, because they were too poor to afford school fees.
Bai returned to Tianjin and went back to work as a rickshaw puller, taking a modest accommodation next to the railway station. He waited for clients 24 hours a day, ate simple food and wore discarded second-hand clothes he found. He gave all of his hard-earned earnings to support children who could not afford education.
In 2001, he drove his rickshaw to Tianjin YaoHua Middle School, to deliver his last installment of money. Nearly 90 years old, he told the students that he couldn't work any more. All of the students and teachers were moved to tears.
In total, Bai had donated a total of 350,000 yuan to help more than 300 poor students continue with their studies. In 2005, Bai passed away leaving behind an inspiring legacy.
If a rickshaw-puller who wore used clothes and had no education can support 300 children to go to school, imagine what you and I can do with the resources we have to bring about positive change in our world!

Lol. Remember, no good deed will go unpunished. Anonymous. Do good deeds anyway, for the infinite joy of it.
Lol: this has been an extremely creatively productive morning for me - caffeine. First time I have afforded myself a cup of coffee in a long time. It does not happen to be self indulgence. It is not a personal luxury, which I detest. There is a coffee shop that for years and years has been kind to the work that I do and I find it a joyful duty to once in a blue moon afford a cup of coffee in their shop.
I wish I had [more] people in my life that deeply and intensely Loved me exactly because of how sane I have become. Of course, it has been the opposite. And I am 100 percent okay with that. It has been my active, deliberate, incessant choice to pursue sanity with all of my might, sensing clearly what it would cost me, as it has. I remake the same choice, greedily, with every breath.
