Patrick Swayze Dead at 57 After Chemotherapy for Pancreatic Cancer -- by Mike Adams

Beloved actor Patrick Swayze died yesterday evening after a 20-month battle with pancreatic cancer. Having put his faith in conventional chemotherapy, he largely dismissed ideas that nutrition, superfoods or "alternative medicine" might save him, instead betting his life on the chemotherapy approach which seeks to poison the body into a state of remission instead of nourishing it into a state of health.

These are not condemnations of this… Continue

The Magic of the Trees... La Magia de los Arboles...





Life can only be measured by the intensity with which people live and not by its duration. A butterfly lives only a few days, but this is the joy with which deploys its wings and the luminosity of its colors, in such a short time is done, it gives the best of itself ... "



The tree, by contrast, takes his time, drinks life in short drinks, he savored it slowly and solemn.

Somehow, the trees are out of time or pace of our time ...

Say, is it just me?

Hey everyone. So by now I guess you’ve all heard that the old Tough Questions and Answers group moderated by George R. has closed, and that’s too bad. I thought there were two or three threads going over there that tended to support my delusional view of the world, ha-ha! But now there is a new one opened up with the same title, moderated by Pacis Dream; you should be able to find it on the…

Some Babies are born into Hell

......

Now when I look back I get sick, I mean deep down in my guts sick...and I say to myself..."Why wasn't my Mom there to take care of my little baby brother"...I was too young to act as his mother. I didn't understand scaring him was bad...I thought I was playing. Now all these years later, I blame myself for my brothers lifelong mental handicaps and I am heartbroken. I was only 9 years old. His crib was put into our room with me and another brother before he could… Continue

The Art Of The Flim-Flam

Brian--



September 27, 2004



Hey, buddy. What's up, big guy? What's the long and short of it?



I don't have much on my mind this week. This will be a short. Yes. What they call in Dan Glickman's trade--the film industry--a documentary short. It's some old history with a new twist. I guess you could say Glickman has become the Master of the film industry, while I, for my part, spend my days mastering the art of the flim-flam.



This past week I've been busy… Continue

Hiroshima Day: America Has Been Asleep at the Wheel for 64 Years

Published on Thursday, August 6, 2009 by TruthDig.com



by Daniel Ellsberg



It was a hot August day in Detroit. I was standing on a street corner downtown, looking at the front page of The Detroit News in a news rack. I remember a streetcar rattling by on the tracks as I read the headline: A single American bomb had destroyed a Japanese city. My first thought was that I knew exactly what that bomb was. It was the U-235 bomb we had discussed in school and written papers about,… Continue

The Surprising Endurance of Jewishness -- My Recollections of Daniel Ellsberg

I live in an apartment building in Washington, DC. Throughout the 90s and up until about 2003 or 2004, Daniel Ellsberg and his wife, Patricia, lived in the building, in apartment 146. Daniel Ellsberg is a former US military analyst employed by the RAND Corporation who precipitated a national political controversy in 1971 when he released the Pentagon Papers, a top-secret Pentagon study of US government decision-making about the Vietnam War, to The New York Times and other… Continue

Gotterdammerung

I got a ticket to see Gotterdammerung in November, to be performed by the Washington National Opera. It's the only Wagner opera I've never seen. I am so excited. I fell in love with Gotterdammerung when I was 12 years old, and it's been a life-long love affair. The performance I will be seeing will be a concert version. The Washington Opera can't afford a staging because of the economy. (Apparently, the Ginsburgs -- Ruth and Marty -- haven't donated enough to the Washington Opera to offset the… Continue

Luke's rant about 9/11 conspiracy theories...

My son Luke posted this a couple of years ago and I think about it when I read posts on 9/11 conspiracies.

I am a proud parent and I think he did a good job on critical thinking. Critical thinking is hard to do when you are filled with emotion...

9/11

Current mood: annoyed

First off, as impactful as the events of that day were on all our lives, this date is inherently more relevant to the citizens of the big apple. That… Continue

Inspiration

I was reading "Panic on level 4" by Richard Preston. The chapter about the Chudnovsky brothers was strangely inspiring to me. It being about the 2 mathematicians that built their own super-computer in their Manhatten apartment and used it to calculate the value of Pi to the 2.2 billionth digit to search for a pattern. Strange that I felt so spiritual after such a read. I wanted to contact my ex-girlfriend who is also a nerd and talk about it, and I haven't wanted to talk with her for a month.… Continue

Remembering Aafia

So, it's the day after, and we move forward from the brief collapse of all that we thought we knew into a still uncertain future, only with another new heart wrenching pain to solemnize the passing anniversary. It's like we are all together as one, sitting shivah, reciting kaddish, comforting and supporting one another. Currently it's Ramadan in little pockets spread all over the world, and presently we'll turn our hearts, our minds, and our wills toward God through Rosh Hashanah in preparation… Continue

Funk explanation.

Sorry friends, I was going to wait a little while before I told. I've reached the end of a huge era in my life and am beginning another. On Thur. Sep. 3rd I had a disagreement with my employer (to put it mildly) and I no longer have a job. My driver buddies and I have been distraught about certain policy changes all year. It's a very long story. I decided to put my foot down. The timing was right since Kittycat and I are both receiving our pensions. My problem is: I wasn't ready to give up… Continue

REAL LIARS

Of course this won't convince the knuckle heads that continues to just make up stuff, still here is a list of all the fairy tales floating around and the real life facts. You have to ask yourself, how do they benefit from spreading these falsehoods. Do they just want to bring down the president because their side lost. Yes. Are they paid pay companies that have a stake in keeping the medical insurance business a mess as it sucks the life not only out of the individual but the whole economy,… Continue

Judge Paul Friedman

I sent my letter to Judge Paul Friedman. He probably thinks I'm a nut job. But how does that hurt me? If everybody thought I was normal, I'd be forced out of business. I'd have to go out and find a real job. Now that is truly frightening.



For those who don't remember, here's the text of the letter I sent to Judge Friedman:



The Honorable Paul L. Friedman

U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia

Divorce: The Long Term Effects

I was divorced at the end of 2007 after 24 years of marriage. From my perspective, it was a happy marriage, producing three children and a fulfilling family life. My wife became unhappy the last couple of years and wanted out. She did not want counseling, she just wanted out. Her reason was she felt we "didn't have anything in common." Also, she had found someone else she wanted to be with. So she left.

Well, life went on. Things were tough for awhile, but I picked myself up and moved on.… Continue
