A Gulf Too Far

In January of 2007 we learned that the Democratic revolution was canceled.  This month, the news is camceled.  There has been no news out of Congress in weeks.  They were supposed to deal with the debt ceiling to raise it.  I never heard they took any action.  There was a White House news briefing today and President Obama will be unveiling the 2014 Federal Budget next week.  The problem is the budget should have been before congress in January. It's silly to think any gun bill will be passed, even getting a background check, because if you can't even get a bill out of the senate no matter how much you water it down, how in the name of hades can you hope to get it past the House?  President Obama has even agreed to adopt Mitt Romney's economic plan to gut Social Security and slap the middle class with elimination of needed deductions- if it will make John Boehner happy.  But clearly nothing makes John Boehner happy.  The Unemployment rate is down but we hear the same song and dance about it's only because massive people have left the labor market.  I've heard this stuff about how four million people have left the labor market in the past five years and that were these people still counted in the labor market the unemployment would not be 7.6% but in excess of eleven percent.  It's all so discouraging because President Clinton said those "famous last words" last summer how, "The recovery is in progress but you people just don't Feel It yet".  Well, we're all waiting - - but we still don't "feel it".  (Selah)   Now the President is in trouble because he said the Attorney General of California, Camille Harris, was the nation's best looking Attorney General. According to David Cruise there were well placed photos accompanying the news article showing the President and AG smiling at each other like a toothpaste commercial, or else one with the Attorney General clutching his arm, or something.  The funny thing it's women who are most inclined to view this sort of nitt picking as just silly and in no way a violation of any "feminist ideals". Many have tied this in with Bret Musburger (?) a seventy plus sports caster fawning over this Alabama basketball player's girlfriend several months ago going on and on about how lucky he is and how others should strive to be like him.  Apparently here people say there is the "dirty old man factor' at work, and he's old enough to be her grandfather. Only someone like talk show host Moe Kelly would connect these two disperate events, but then again Moe Kelly is a guy who "things about things" even more than I do, and that's a stretch.  The sad fact is that you don't get news now on the evening network news but a lot of fluff, and have learned nothing in the half hour.  Oh, but apparently they ran a story about how boneless KFC will out sell the regular KFC in a short time, if it hasn't all ready.  But apparently they get so specific they start talking about how much you can get it for and what size bucket or barrel and the date it will go on sale.  Apparently this "news release" was nothing but an advertisment.  It's my fear that they will turn every single sitcom out there on TV into an advertisement in time, so you can't tell which is which.

Now the media is trying to scare us again because they want to ban the sale of "water balls" and water beads".  How about water balloons?  These little pellets are soaked in water and soak up water to become many times their original size and there is a fear that some two year old might ingest them and have a ruptured intestine or something.  I guess this is nature's way of weeding out the truely stupid speecies or something.  And by the way when it comes to insurance companies and Pre Existant diseases- - - they say that the average insurance payer out there will be paying double starting next year for the same coverage he got four years ago.  And besides that- a whole lot of new pre approved taxes will be slapped on.  I have just a simple logical question.  You say you are healthy and the Insurance company says you are not.  If you are as healthy as you Believe you are- - if you really mean it- - then why pay in inflated insurance rate anyhow.  Save the money by skipping insurance entirely.  And if you should get sick down the line- - guess what?  You'll have all that money you saved over the years from not having to pay those outlandish insurance rates.

News is still in a state of stagnation concerning my blood test.  They told me it was scheduled for yesterday but for the first time- - something that almost never happens, I had chocolate bran muffins to eat before breakfast.  Usually I consume no food before breakfast.  It was enough to compel them to cancel the test.  So I still don't know what's going on with my weight.  Also I still don't know what's going on with my Mom any more now than two or three weeks ago when I heard her blood pressure was at 190.  My Mom claimed to be ingesting nineteen pills per day of various types.  And she was getting light headed and losing her balance from the blood pressure medications.  I really haven't heard any successful follow up on that one, either.  Sometimes even if you're going to pray for somebody it's be nice to know exactly what the problem is and specifically what you should pray For.

In better news the crime rate in LA is down and the state unemployment rate is coming down.  Both the state and federal deficets are coming down.  And the autism rate may be even coming down, because now they say that "up to twenty percent' of kids with autism "outgrow it" at some point in their lives.  Many say it's through more intensive therapy now.  Back when I was younger a lot fewer people were diagnosed with autism.  It sure wasn't one in a hundred in fifty like it is now.  And the disease had a very specific set of symptums tied in with brain function and development- - and it cast a major shadow over a person's whole life.  Still there was always the question in the back of my mind, "If autism is a life long disease, you come you never hear about autistic adults"?  There are also a specific set of criteria for being a Sociopath that's diagnosable at a young age, but for some reason nobody seems concerned about that.  I guess maybe because being a Sociopath is as American as apple pie or something with so many successful and patriotic ones like Dick Chaney and Donald Rumsfeld.

I suppose it's a tribute to the charismatic power of Cultic leaders, that they are even able to rule their Cult, like that Jeffers guy in Texas, by giving orders from his prison cell.  And it's an eery thing that even little kids there are stalwart in their defense of Jeffers.  It's a sociological phenominon I have observed that many Bible studies seem to start out as coeducational but then one sex or the other will weed itself out- - and "deport itself".  It may either be men leaving and leaving all feminine groupies, or else it's the women who leave seeing these men are such mindless zombies they are not to be regarded as suitable husband, or even boyfriend material.  When I first joined the Jesus Freaks, there was no problem either by mixing married couples with singles.  But later on this wasn't the case and you knew if you were in a "singles" group or a married group.  Because if a couple got married they knew that they'd finally "gotten a life" and has whatever sexual bliss allowable under the constraints of Born Again Christianity.  The thing is people like Dr. Levy - - and Born Again teachers will say "Don't compare yourself to others" as though they were telling you some profound Truth.  And we are reminded that employers don't want their employees- - particularly between the sexes "comparing notes" to see how much their counterpart makes.  The Profound Truth I have this day is that "Comparing yourself to Others is the surest sign of Sanity".  Anything a leader can do to loosen your grip on Objectrivity- - it's one step tword making said person their psychological slave.  (Selah)

To continue in the vein we entered in the last posting about the idea of recripicals and opposits.  How do you know something even HAS an oppisite?   Like what if you were a male raised around all males your whole childhood and never even knew the opposit sex existed.  Ditto for a female out there.  Wouldn't you get the vague feeling that "Something was missing' from life- - even if you didn't have a name for it or could specifically put your finger on it?   We see opposites all the time in Math.  For instance, in trig you have your Sines and Cosines, which never have a value of Greater than One.  And you have your inverse Sines and Cosines, which never have a value of Less than one.  So what can we deduce from this.  It's this.  Anytime there is Comparrison going on, comparing one Thing to Another, you'll always have an "other side" because there is always the viewpoint of The Other, that you have to be aware of.  (Once again a Sociopath would no knowing of this)  Jim Morrison was talking with me today.  And he's saying that he's bought into the theory- - having heard it from Bones or Mal- - this idea that there is the "other side" of Ether- - in empty space.   Showing more math expertise than I had expected- - he talked of a graph that was calibrated inversely on the value of Exponents of a number needed to reach a certain BASE - - - and said log number would decrease the further Right you went on the chart.  But off to the left, the chart would go on to Infinity- - and there would never be an end to it.  Morrison talked about how the Egyptian culture has always believed in this "Sea of Death" that the soul has to cross over safely.  In Egyptian culture, the Nile river- - deep and wide, is symbolic of this Crossing.  Even in Genesis he points out- - God speaks of this "firmlement' or Expanse of something separating what is Above, from what is Below.  He says "So far from being the farthest thing from us- - this "Heaven" or "Firlement" or "Eternity" is in the Middle, in the middle of it all.  And then there is the simple example of staring into the magnifying glass and there is the part of the lens as your eye reaches the focal length of the lens- - where it all goes fuzzy and then the image reemerges inverted on the Other Side.  Returning to trig for the moment- - we ourselves have spoken of "crossing the infinity threshhold".  But what form would this "Infinity" take with our old friend the Higgs Boson? Well we know that newtron stars are dense.  We know that with these the effects of the Higgs Boson is the most intense- perhaps because there are more of them in a smaller space.  (Thanks to General Relitivity)  More Higgs Bosons- - more Time Advancement- - more Gravity.  Get it?  If you are right in front of a wave in the surf- - it will bury you- - a few steps further back and that same wave has little effect on you at all.  This is by way of illustration.  Like Trig Tangents- - - you see the same spiked curve - - as far as gravitational and time effects of it.  If you were to graph the thing using logarithms of X necessary to get to Base Y  for instance- - you'd have this same thing of "crossing the gulf of eternity".  And by the way- - not according to Me, but according to Einstein Himself- - "The Future" is already HERE.  This proposition is not even up for Debate.  Because these newtron stars have much faster progression of Time than we do here and hence have Advanced their own timeline far into the Future compared to our Own.  We have spoken how things on the Other Side would be Opposits such as refraction indexes for instance.  Just as space becomes more constricted between longitudinal lines near the North Pole - - so it would be just Silly to propose that somehow "The World" ends at the North Pole.  But if you look at these projection maps- - you never see the North Pole on these - - and people get tired of looking at Greeland being the same size as South America.  Like the lens - like the trig tangent functions- - so this Eternity Wall is NOT the end.  But indeed we do have to "Break On Through To the Other Side"  (Selah)
