***** What, above all else, may drive me to an early grave... is the do nothing, risk nothing, pay no price, whine whine whine whine whine... liberals, that pay in a lifetime not 1% of what Pr. Obama pays risks contributes in a day. "The world will not be destroyed by those who do evil, but by those who watch and don't stop them," Einstein paraphrase. He was talking about today's criminally cowardly, depraved, disgusting US liberals. Had 1000 of them come courageously around Pr. Obama... America and the US might have been saved. God Damn them all to Hell.

***** STOP. READ THIS. "In the 1970s, a Professor of Psychology in Vancouver called Bruce Alexander noticed something odd about this experiment. The rat is put in the cage all alone. It has nothing to do but take the drugs. What would happen, he wondered, if we tried this differently? So Professor Alexander built Rat Park. It is a lush cage where the rats would have colored balls and the best rat-food and tunnels to scamper down and plenty of friends: everything a rat about town could want. What, Alexander wanted to know, will happen then? In Rat Park, all the rats obviously tried both water bottles, because they didn't know what was in them. But what happened next was startling. The rats with good lives didn't like the drugged water. They mostly shunned it, consuming less than a quarter of the drugs the isolated rats used. None of them died. While all the rats who were alone and unhappy became heavy users, none of the rats who had a happy environment did. ...... READ ARTICLE

Why Have Young People in Japan Stopped Having Sex? What is "celibacy syndrome" and why has it taken over Japan?

http://www.alternet.org/sex-amp-relationships/why-have-young-people-japan-stopped-having-sex

"Throughout the Civil War, youngsters followed brothers, fathers and even teachers into battle. They often had support roles but quickly graduated into combat roles. They were sometimes recruited at school and, when necessary, used weapons that were cut down and adapted for use by smaller people. David Baily Freemen, “Little Dave,” enlisted in the Confederate army at age 11, first accompanying his older brother as an aide-de-camp and then as a “marker” for a survey team before finally fighting against Sherman’s army. Joseph John Clem (who changed his name to John Lincoln Clem) officially enlisted in the Union army at age 10 although he had been a camp follower since age 9. Gilbert “Little Gib” Van Zandt, age 10, followed his teacher into the Ohio Volunteer Infantry where he joined his father, uncles and friends. He joined up when recruiters arrived at his school despite his mother’s pleas that he was “too young to fight.” Clarence D. McKenzie, a drummer boy for Brooklyn’s 13th Regiment was killed at Annapolis, Md., when he was only 12. His funeral, held on July 14, 1861, was attended by 3,000 people. A statute of the boy and his drum was erected to commemorate his sacrifice and is still one of the most visited graves in Brooklyn’s Greenwood cemetery today. ....." http://www.fdu.edu/newspubs/magazine/05sf/childsoldiers.html

Strong leanings toward the Good of humanity... that like 99.9999% of those like you... will be sidelined as impractical idealism, window dressing... for all of your years." RF's reply: "James, when I finally get back to D.C. one of these days, the first thing I'm going to do is come and sit with you awhile. Thank you for such a stirring compliment." My reply: " :-) I don 't give complements, or slams. I share the Truth as I see it with those that I think may want to hear, those very few."

***** A recent experience: A Homeless cell-mate of mine, Peter, I'll call him, mid 50's clean off probation since 2008, has EVERY DAY placed numerious applicaitons for work (sh*t jobs mopping floors, anything) for 8 months now. Breaks my heart. I've watched him. Two churches come to the shelter every weekend. I told a man in each of Peter's need for work. One said, "Tell him about Jesus." The other one said, "Tell him to see me and I'll see what I can do." In effect, one said 'Tell him about Jesus,' the other said, in effect, 'Bring him to me, I'll SHOW him about Jesus.' Which one is the man of God? (Subsequently the 2nd man began producing 'real' opportunities for Peter, giving Peter his phone number (he is a mid level computer executive), staying in regular phone contact TO Peter. Peters begins his new job at a nursing home next week.)

***** National Lawyers Guild: "The submission sharply rejects Israeli claims of 'self-defense' related to the 2014 attack on Gaza, noting that 'both facts and law refute the Israeli and US self-defense claims,' and that 'self-defense is inapplicable to an occupying power', rejecting all attempts by Israeli government or military officials to enjoy impunity based on 'self-defense' claims."

Qur'an: Piety does not lie in turning your face to East or West: Piety lies in believing in God, the Last Day and the angels, the Scriptures and the prophets, and disbursing your wealth out of love for God among your kin and the orphans, the wayfarers and mendicants, freeing the slaves, observing your devotional obligations, and in paying the zakat and fulfilling a pledge you have given, and being patient in hardship, adversity, and times of peril. These are the men who affirm the truth, and they are those who follow the straight path.

Qur'an: They say: "Become Jews or become Christians, and find the right way." Say: "No. We follow the way of Abraham the upright, who was not an idolater." Say: "We believe in God and what has been sent down to us, and what had been revealed to Abraham and Ishmael and Isaac and Jacob and their progeny, and that which was given to Moses and Christ, and to all other prophets by the Lord. We make no distinction among them, and we submit to Him."

nd. Qur'an (pretty scary, right? hehehehe): "Fulfil your devotional obligations and pay the zakat. And what you send ahead of good you will find with God, for He sees all that you do ill. And they say: "None will go to Paradise but the Jews and the Christians;" but this is only wishful thinking. Say: "Bring the proof if you are truthful." Only he who surrenders to God with all his heart and also does good, will find his reward with his Lord, and will have no fear or regret.

God alone will judge between them in their differences on the Day of Reckoning."

***** nd. From the Qur'an, which I am beginning to read, with periodic advice and consultation from a Muslim friend who I respect: "Surely the believers and the Jews, Nazareans and the Sabians, whoever believes in God and the Last Day, and whosoever does right, shall have his reward with his Lord and will neither have fear nor regret." She tells me that nowhere else in the Qur'an is this contradicted. To which I told her: "That is the God, Good, that I know, more than the 'christian' god that I was taught, and much more than the Zionist god, the Right Wing god, that is really Satan." This is the God of Jesus, who I Revere above all, and try to follow.
