***** Thru tears - GOD BLESS YOU!! CBS: Newtown parents reject NRA plan CBS News

Newtown parents reject NRA plan

CBS News - ‎59 minutes ago‎
NEWTOWN, Conn. When Adam Lanza started his lethal attack on Sandy Hook Elementary School, Andrei Nikitchyuk's eight year-old son and another third grader were on their way to the principal's office.

'12.22.12: Friends: There can be no chemo.  Less than 100% is ECOCIDE, from any of us now.'  Loving

To C., Pat., Doc M, and other friends, (and to myself!  LOL), to whom I've yet to be sufficiently clear - 

Principal Dawn, in Newtown.  Nothing less than 100% was acceptable to her, or from her last week.

We have 200 billion children yet to be born, and 4 billion currently on earth.  There is a 20% chance that it is already too late for them, that we've passed tipping points through our collective, criminal, CRIMINAL, PATHOLOGICAL, AFFLOHOLIC, collective inaction the last 40 years, 30 years, 20 years, 10 years, 4 years, 1 year, 11 months, 10 months... that the scientists have been categorically SCREAMING at us that allowing Green House Gas emissions is the slow motion equivalent of unleashing global thermo-nuclear war on planet Earth, on our children's future, FOREVERRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR. 

But there is an 80% chance that if we act now, in the first months of 2013, they, our 204 billion children can be shared that unmitigated, eternal, perpetual, daily Hell.

There is not a snowballs chance in Hell that we will do so, that we fathers, mothers, brothers, sisters, aunts, uncles... will pass the Legislation to end the free, no cost to the dumper, dumping of Green House Gas, smothering the Garden of Eden, forever, that we've all enjoyed.

But as long as anyone stands, Diane Wilson, me, someone, anyone... a snowball's chance in hell for them, exists.

For reasons I don't question for a moment, chemo can not legally be administered to me, or anyone, without a residence, even a shelter, for reasons of legal, financial liability to the doctor, and the hospital.

And I cannot meet that requirement, because other than for 4-8 hours per 2 week period, or possible emergency care from time to time, I cannot be away from the vigil.

Principal Dawn, in Newtown.  Nothing less than 100% was acceptable to her, or from her last week.  This, for only her 600 children.

I've got 204 billion children.  The current certainty is that the slim chance they have to avert Ecocide, torture, and death will be gone in months.  Nothing less than 100% is possible from me now.  There can be no chemo. There will be no chemo for me.

For years I've had two projects I desperately needed to complete but I've not had the resource to do so, and now I'm running out of time.  I need your help.  Then my Library that I leave to you will be complete:  http://jesusgodgoodetcnjay.blogspot.com/p/library.html

I need an excellent computer file of these two books scanned:

The abreviated version of "Social and Cultural Dynamics," Pitirim Sorokin:  http://www.amazon.com/The-Ways-Power-Love-Transformation/dp/1890151866

"The Ways and Power of Love," Pitirim Sorokin:  http://www.amazon.com/Social-Cultural-Dynamics-Pitirim-Sorokin/dp/0875580297

For convenience I've linked to Amazon, but as with every $ you spend, spend it to create jobs, not eliminate them - ;get them from a local book seller.

I can provide to you the scanning software and instructions.

I also need these for my own study - the scanned files.

If you, or someone you know feels passionate called to give this support, let me know, and I'll figure how to get you the scanning software.

12.21.12 Back on Post. Dying of Cancer. Pray for me that I stop the Ecocide, First.

Back at the vigil, thank Goodness!  Away for way toooo long.

High winds, wind chill 31 going down to 24 by morning.  Brrrrr.

They haven't told me how long I have with the cancer.  With the chemo - 50% chance of 5 more years.  Without?  Well, quite a bit less, I'll guess.  And chemo looks quite out of the question because the vigil cannot stop, not now.

Cancer - Chemo? NOW? For me!?!? Out of the question - 12.19.12



I went to the hospital immediately that I arrived in DC to cancel the tests and treatment that was scheduled.  I first, however, met with a Patient Navigator, a fellow Christ-ian, that is not at all pleased with the prospects of me departing in body, quite so soon.  I made clear to her that I am not refusing chemo. But, I'm unable to depart from the vigil.

There may be a way.  Enough of a sliver of a chance that I haven't yet cancelled the tests and treatment meeting, as I'd planned.  There is within 4 blocks of the vigil a set-aside portion of a much larger homeless shelter that is called the "infirmary."   It may be that unlike shelters, it is sufficiently less restrictive that I could meet the legal requirements of the hospital, being sheltered, and still maintain the vigil.  It would be pretty miserable, chemo, without support, but that is of no consequence.  Christ-mass on Tuesday will slow down the ability to evaluate this option, but by mid to late week things should be clearer.

I have zero aversion to trading 3 to 20 years of my life for the next 6 month, to keep my body in the way, now, in these most precious, decisive, consequential days in all human history, here in front of the Embassy, the poster child for our criminally insane pursuit of future eradicating fossil fuels. 

But I am NEVER called to be casual with my life, nor anyone elses.   So this unexpected, last option, as unlikely as it is, will be given it's due consideration.

With much Joy and Relief to be back in Harm's Way,

Loving

Obama Named Time's Person of the Year

ABC News - ‎1 hour ago‎
From a shortlist that included a Pakistani teenager, the new leader of Egypt and a former president, Barack Obama has for the second time been named Time magazine's person of the year.

Cancer - Chemo? NOW? For me!?!? Out of the question - 12.19.12


Cancer - Chemo?  NOW? For me!?!? Out of the question - 12.19.12

The choice:

1.  This cell in my 204 billion cell body of humanity known as Loving, steps out of the battle to avert perpetual Ecocide in the final weeks in which it can be won ($250 / ton CO2e = $2 wreckage fee per $ of gas, 2X wreckage fee per $ of coal or natural gas electricity).

2.  Accept a certain, roughly 10 year  (3 to 20) shortening of my life by the cancer, and a less than pleasant end.  (6 adults in Newtown, with unbounded Love, and Joy, just raced toward a much less generous deal, for not 204 billion kids, but just 600 kids. Bless their Hearts, eternally.) 

Duh!  WHAT THE HELL WAS I THINKING!?!?!? ROFL! We have hours, days, weeks, maybe months, to avert perpetual, unstoppable Ecocide by Green House Gasses, and I'm thinking about aborting the Canadian Embassy Vigil?!!?!?!  Stepping off the battlefield for 6 months!?!?!?!? INSANITY!  Not gunna happen.  I expect to resume the vigil in DC, 24/7, this Friday, until the $250 / ton CO2e legislation is passed. Then I'll be open to accepting chemo.  :-)   Yes, it will be too late then.  Couldn't matter less.

Here's the authoritative, definitive scientific, technological and economic Bottom Line, for those that care, in a 20 min nutshell; and I know of nowhere else you can find it nearly so succinctly (find the button, lower right, for full screen):



More, from a note to two fellow Unviolent Warriors (Diane Wilson, and another), yesterday morning:

I've within the last hour, prior to reading your email, had a fully unexpected, days earlier than I'd expected, Clarity.  I share it with you, and only you at this point, because it pertains to what you've written below, but I expect to take some number of hours to ponder it deeply, and take one or several avenues I can see to 'Test' it, and see if it is correct, if indeed it is the Creator's, if it is Creation's, our Family's will for me.  But I'm Deeply Pleased, Deeply Pleased at what I now see so far, this Clarity of how I am to proceed, this understanding; while respecting that you, others, most, all... may disagree with me.

I've spent the morning beginning to process what I learned yesterday of my cancer, and the debilitating 6 month treatment that would be required.  Just the 5 or so waking hours since my return at midnight last night from DC to a kind household in Phila, has given me the time, space and place to make great strides toward clarity - including imagining the "ideal" arrangements for 6 months of Chemo that conceivably could be arranged:

1.  Christ House - This could be the 6 months sabbatical I've needed to take myself to the next level of Understanding, that I could then share.

2.  The Unity Health Care "infirmary" I've vaguely heard of down near the Embassy.  If I imagine that it is available, it would give me the off-the-street lodging required by the Hospital, and it would give me a responsible way to accept the chemo - no sense accepting the care and expense, and dying from exposure or germs living on the street.  And, those days I was functional, I could do the vigil, and access to online.

3.  Three households in suburban Philly area that would Love to have me thru the chemo, and I'd have at least full access to fight via the internet.  The Medicaid maybe/probably from DC wouldn't be transferable, but I can imagine for now that it could;  update - I have just gotten off the phone with one of the Philly prospective hospitals and they suspect it could be arranged.

So I can now today "see" the ideal circumstances for chemo treatment.

The Blessed Clarity that has come to me, after seeing these options to which I was blind yesterday, the clarity is - it is impossible to abandon the vigil at this time.  If our next 204 billion are to be saved it will be in Loving, all out, nothing held back, Unviolent Battle by every one of us possible, NOW, not 7 months from now. 

Due to the unimaginable kindness and goodness of my medical care up until now (Doc Cardile at Unity, Christ House, Howard U) I've been given months more ability to contribute, NOW.  THANK YOU!  I'm currently still healing, yet I'm in practically no pain, for the first time in a year. I have little reason to believe that in the next 3-9 months I'll have symptoms cropping up that will impair my ability to contribute just as I have from the vigil, online, etc; and maybe my ability to contribute will be 2 or three times that long.  I've healed rapidly from the Nov 30th surgery.  I was physically prepared, if barely, to resume the vigil last night, but the treatment facts given me yesterday - 2 tumors, not one, pretty aggressive cancer, of needing 6 MONTHS debilitating chemo, for starters, life expectancy by 5 years of 50-60%... just was so massively new for me I needed space to ponder, and hence the retreat to Philly.

With immense Joy, my guess is that as soon as Friday, now that my feet are back on the ground, I'll give notice that I will forgo the chemo, and resume the DC vigil immediately.  LOL - For a day, or several weeks, the arrangements for my Beloved Pr. Obama's inauguration may force me away from Penn Ave, his route, back to Phila, for a few days or weeks, but that is no matter.

This is no time for chemo.  This is the time when we win, or lose, for our 204 billion kids.  There is no July 2012.  There's only... NOW.

I'm quite sure of all this for me now, but I'll continue for some hours to deeply ponder and Test this.

I'll continue to keep you both posted.
