I was just reading a commentary from Ann Coulter and (if i hadn't known before) I would have guessed she was republican, the kind that do not have the word "Bi Partisan" (never mind the spelling) in her vocab. But never mind that..
Although I agree whole hartedly with her veiws in the article
"IT'S THE WINTER SOLSTICE, CHARLIE BROWN!"
, where she notes Americas concern about the "evil" doctins of the the good book and how they warp childrens mind. (u know, the stuff about loving your neigbour and all that).
Her attack on the Times editor in "HERE'S A TRAITOR!" i thought were a bit low........,
ok ok, i'll tell the truth, I thought it was CRAS, ignant and petty,
I mean, who cares if he got low SAT scores, the fact is the man still made it to be the editor of on one of the most succesfull news mags today.
But enough on that the links for here article can be found below:
Articles found here
On to other matters. What do u think about the UN not willing to support the US in Iraq. Personally I think it is interesting. The fact is america made the UN look stupid when it first went of and started this war without there approval and now that the have the pandoras box open, they want help to close it. HA!!!! I should be the one runniing the UN.
I wonder, however how far ahead did the bush administration look, they must have planned for all that is happening (at least I hope). Come on, if you isolate your allies and carry out a hostile take over of a country, then clearly there must be consiquences (IGNORE THE SPELLING!!!!!). Does Bush plan on being re-elected, honestly, I get the impression that the American public is kind of tiered of th Iraq thing, and they want their troops home, never mind the oil, there comes a point when the price is too high. (I hope Bush knows this).
Any way it is my lunch time and I'me hungry. Till next time.

The Mind Speaks
Idle Yout Speeks his/her(someone's) Mind.
Please note: The views expressed may or may not not be those of the one expressing them. :)
Where to begin?
At the...... ahhh, your guess is as good as mine, but a beginning there must be, and a beginning we shall have.
In my time here one earth I have had revelations as to my impression/awareness of certain truths.
One of these is as follows:
TRUTH IS IRRELIVANT PERCEPTION IS EVERYTHING
Now before you jump on your high horse think about it. Everything you and everyone else around you does is based the perception of truth as you see it, as a result, as long as you trust your own perception, which you must at some level, then the possibility that your view/awareness of things and events around you could be wrong or slightly scewed, throws the actual truth into irrelivance.
In other words, to get anyone to accept/see the truth (or a lie for that matter) what one must concern him or herself about is not the "facts" (as they wont speak for themselves), but rather peoples perception.
(I'll let that sink in)
The first time i saw this view point was in a novel, WIZARDS FIRST RULE by Terry Goodkind (GREAT BOOK), the book stated that the first rule of wizards is:
People are stupid. People believe anything either because they want it to be true or because
they are afraid it is.
Not very flattering. Ironocally it also went on to say that the only defense is to accept that the rule also applys to you. (i.e. you are also stupid).
(An interesting way to start on the path of enlightenment wouldn't you say?)
This never appealed to me until my first year away from home. My observation of how people reacted and behaved showed me gossip often has more power than truth/facts, and even when truth is present the way in which it is delivered is just as (or more) important as what is delivered.
But thats just humble me talking, look for yourself.
The thing is, however, it is really meant for people in (or heading for) positions of "power"/"Influence", where public (or group) opinion/sentiment is important. Yes we can apply it to our lives, but the big users of this are the people we see/hear/read in the media everyday. The kind of people who can "influence the sway of public oppinion".
Yes I have fallen prey to them as well, but then it is hard not to, it is almost impossible to get "uncolored facts" today, at best you can get news from multiple sources so as to sift out a "balanced"/amalgamated opinion for yourself but its not easy, yep we are stuck and i don't se a way out. Do you?
Any way have to run.
"See" you Soon
