-Bob Dylan
There are a number of unpleasent realities people have to face with the reality of growing up Black, or any number of other minorities in other countries. I guess the latest charge it's fashionable for Cops to nab almost anybody on is B W B, breathing while Black. Dylan in the song "Neighborhood Bully" has the song lyric of 'He is made to live by the rules the World makes for him" referring to the Jew in this case. I guess there is a certain moral hirearchy of culpability though. If you have the Crapp-OR and the Crap-ee, it might be inferred as an implicit duty of the Crap-ee to take all evasive action he can to avoid being crapped on. He shouldn't have to but if he's smart he will. If there is excriment dropping from the ceiling eves, then he knows not to stand under an eve. If there is crap on the road he should step around it. To the extent that the crap-ee takes Evasive action and the Crap-por continues to pursue him, this increases the Guilt of the Crap-por. Of course you should realize that some people like FOX like to Lie, to the point of virtually making stuff up. It's almost fair to surmise that if we lived in the early days of NAZI Germany, it would be FOX news disputing the "false charge of racism" against the Nazi government. Suppose you're Adolph Hitler and knew the future and knew that in twelve years millions of Jews would be dead because of him, and what then if we saw him one early night before bed - - weeping for all of the Jews that would soon die. Would not this be a completely hypocratic act? Now follow me on this. And just suppose Hitler in a move to perhaps bolster FOX news' credibility said he was going to hold a "Jewish redemption rally" where "the unpleasentness of the past would be overlooked and forgotten". What if Jews went to this rally not having any real idea or grasp of what to expect but they went anyway. Then suppose the whole time these Jews were insulted- - just pummeled verbally by the speaker, and at the end of it all the pastor lifts up his hands and declares, "Let us now pray for the redemption of your souls". What if they all walked out of the meeting. Would this be a "rejection of an offer" by the Jews? He could then say "You had your chance but now you will truely face certain destruction". People like Neil Savedra would say "I never engage in such hypothetical terms". Well if you know me, what I say on a lot of stuff is a lot less "hypothetical" than you may think, so a word to the wise. Others would say "maybe a wrong against a teenage Black was comitted in Florida, but I see no call to go throw a bunch of Liberal protests over this puny little issue". What these people are really saying is "Sure I screw over minorities, but the Least you people can do is not make me feel so Unfomfortable while I am doing it". As I say a lot of my remarks are not as hypothetical as you think. Ghandi says "Let the Nazi's come to England. We won't fight them. We have our minds. We'll resist them with our thoughts". Well how much of a MIND do you think you will have LEFT if there are no signs of overt resistence to the Nazis. No guns from our side firing- - no protests from our side going on. Anybody who DID resist Nazi invasion under such circumstance would feel very Alone. (Selah) You know Neil Savedra has another saying which is "God doesn't allow do-overs". If he meant this in the Stewart Sutcliffe meaning of the term, I would have to agree with him. On one Bewitched show there is this airport scene where a jilted Japanese man is about to return to his own country. And Samantha backs up time a few seconds seeing an Opportunity here. And this one attractive oriental young woman turns "Hello" to him in "take two". But there ARE no "take twos" in this life. And frankly "I can live with that". I don't really think I have that many really Mistakes in life that were clearly avoidable. Unfortunately, this is not how Neil Savedra means it. Rather he is invoking the "One False Move and you Get It' doctrine, espoused by such people as Pete Richards and Pastor Mark and himself. They are looking for the tiniest flaw in your character and when they find it they will play that tape over and over again in their minds, and NOT allow you to EVER show that this perception of you is wrong. Redemption is a four letter word to a lot of people, especially when they have you already charged, tried, and convicted of some high offence, way before there is a hint of it ever being comitted. These people don't condemn you based on DOING but rather for BEING - - be it Black or whatever. Throw in Bill Halliday's name to this list here. You can kind of look at it this way. If you are a judge of Apples at the county fair and you bite into an Apple and declare "I can honestly tell you that this is NOT one of the best ten apples I've ever had in my life". That would be fair or proper judging. However if you rather say "You know - - you planted an illegal apple orcherd in violation of the socialist government's agriculture policies and I'm going to see to it that you are arrested and thrown in jail". This is another kind of "Judging" and that's the kind that Neil does. As his good buddy Walter Martin was so fond of saying while he was still alive, "There is enough sin in a new born baby to send him to Hell a thousand times over". And THAT is where these people stand on "Judging". As to the matter of conduct tword the Cops- - you should absolutely be complient and give them no cause for any sort of complaint about you that might justify their itchy trigger fingers. In such cases in my judgement, it is better to be a Live coward than a Dead hero. Because you will be a truely unsung hero that nobody save for the Almighty alone, will ever know about. As the adage goes "Dead witnesses tell no tails". (Selah)
April 9, 1865 - Abraham Lincoln: "Well Mr. Lee, your groupies in Military School couldn't save you this time now could they?"
Gen Robert E Lee: "Watch me now, I'm signing my John Hancock to this surrender paper, but be warned that the seeds of hostility you have planted lo these past four years, will come back to haunt you"
As to the matter of the Texas History books and storage in the cloud- - - the internet, this was a matter of instant concern to me when broached on the Nicole Sandler show today. It's an astute person that is able to pick up on a real threat- - not a phoney one but a real one - - - while it's still a long ways off and that way you can do something about it. I'm not sure whether that bank teller today thought I was nuts for depositing some of my small meager cash into my account which stood at over a thousand dollars. I told her I was in iminent fear of an Overdraft, and I was- - despite what the numbers looked like. So I can see how if knowledge comes to be stored on line and also that Corporations love to "buy up" things so that even singing 'It's a Small World" without Disney permission is a crime- - you see where this is going. Paul Mc Cartney did not even own his own music. Michael Jackson did. Who knows what things we take for granted in every day life today will be the corporate property of tomorrow - - some would even say "substances produced by our own bodies" could be included here. Certainly the DNA of fruits and vegetables can be not only copyrighted but also "copy protected' after a sort, since these seeds will not reproduce. If Texas calls the piper's tune for the rest of us on the education front, then if they want to expunge people like Ban Franklin and Thomas Jefferson from our history books, the time may come when we are unable to stop them. At a time when budgets are being cut back. the Tea Party wants to "make sure the students have the very newest text materials" even if they are ones that they made up just this past year on virtually no research.

Some people say that "These liberals are just hoping that someone will be killed in these Wall Street Occupy protests" because it will "help our cause". I'm not really sure how a death, and a sudden one, is an inducement for others to do anything, besides stay away. Death is a horrible thing and when it's an unjust death it intimidates and horrifies and outrages us. And the worst part is when it's played on FOX news- - it'll all be turned around so that the killers are made out to be the Heroes - - somehow. You know Jack Kennedy had a saying of "only when our Defences (arms) are sufficient beyond doubt- - can we be certain - -Beyond Doubt - - that they will never be employed. But today I say to you that only when your patience with your oppressors and harrassers and those who trouble you- - - only when you patience with such people - - and I'm definitely including religious indoctrination here- - - only when your patience is Infinite - - Beyond Doubt - - in other words it hypothetically couldn't be extended any farther- - - can you then be Certain Beyond Doubt- - - that the Rage you later feel against them is Completely Justified - - Beyond Doubt. Meditate on this truth with me. Jack Kennedy also said at that Houston Ministerial association in 1960 that "it will be a sad thing if 40 Million babies lost their right to become President on the day that they were Baptized". I would say in response that it would be a Pity is perhaps millions of people Lost their right to become President or hold other High Office, on the day that they decided AGAINST being baptized. Chew on that one for a bit. Some have argued that Atheists are even a more looked down and less respected segment of society than even the Islamicists are. You know - - some people do not only resist being crapped on, they do things to engineer their own Deaths. It's one thing to engineer the Death of another, such as George Zimmerman did with his "hot pursuit doctrine' or whatever. But shouldn't engineering your own Death and then blaming a minority group such as the Palistinians, or the Jews or the Sameritans - - should that also not be chalked up as an act of first magnitude Hypocracy? Christians say they are persecuted and yet we live in a "Christian society" like we live in a mainly White society. Arabs and Iranians must face all sorts of cultural pitfalls every day of their lives. On KTLK this morning they had a guy who was- - I'm not making this up, He is a Latino, Gay, Mormon growing up in Texas, and his best friend growing up was his mother's gay hair dresser named Guido or something. And then these men of the cloth get on their high horse pulpit and say "The trouble with all of you people out there is that you are Too Comfortable without Christianity".
Many people say that "Being right" is not important. Dr. Phil is famous for his statement of "Would you rather be Right - - or Happy?" My answer is that I would rather be Right, because in the end, if I'm not Right, then I'm not going to end up being happy, either. Some don't care about "blame placing' at all. I'm sure that Sanford police department about now is telling the Federal Investigators "OK let's not play the blame game (that's so petty)" They don't say the later part. Many parents will come upon a dispute with their kids where one kid continually bullies another and say "I don't care WHO started it - Knock It Off". It doesn't take long before both Bully and Victum figure out that he really means it and both bully and victum know that the Bully now has been virtually given Carte Blanch to do whatever mischif it is in his heart to do because he alone will never be singled out for blame. Some people have their own "Nine most dreaded words they ever want to hear" especially when it comes out of their own mouth. The nine most dreaded words are "I made the whole thing up. He didn't do it". Maybe that's ten. How about "I made the whole thing up. It Never Happened". There. Like Abigail had to utter today. You know how they call it "Testa-lying" when cops get in the stand. You know, some made up Stories have made themselves so Essential to the Egos of so many corrupt men, that giving them up is really hard. Virtue can be and often IS its own reward. Some people think they'll never have need of it any more then they'll need a smoke detector or a life preserver. But the Virtuous people know that they have protections at their disposal the guilty know nothing about. Also it most be hell for congenital liars when they know they have lied a lot and now their boss if playing mind games when then. But they aren't dropping the big bomb on them yet. Instead they are "cat and moused" to death. And at first they are threatened with trivial things and they think, "I am safe". And when they do drop the bomb, the congenital liar goes and cries to her friends, "She was unfair to me. She had the information on me all along and she just Sprang it on me one day when I least suspected" boo - hoo You know - moral tests exists in many forms. As I told Dr. Levy last Monday if I were God and I said "just to test them" for them to go out and murder their own child just to see what they would do. And if they actually Intended to Go Through with it and I had to intervene to Stop them - - in my view they just FAILED the test. No truely Moral person would consider even for a second slaying their own Son, no matter how much I as God threatened or Cajoled them. Some things are absolute - - sacrosanct, and I believe innocent Human Life is one of them. (Selah) Larry Elder makes a hero of Abraham Lincoln. It could well be that more Black people have suffered because of President Lincoln's actions - - than any other President because he lit a fire of hatred under southerners for Blacks - - that burned and grew hotter. The seeds of today's bigotry that are now being reaped, were planted by President Abraham Lincoln. And people like Larry Elder are too dense to see that. (Selah)
