You may not know that Gaia, and the everlasting foundations of the gods of Olympus brought Uranus, my ruler, Gaia's equal, out of her own self through parthenogensis. Gaia lay with her with her son, Uranus, and bore the World Ocean. Oceanus, out of which I was reborn and sent to inform the world.

My Gaia friend, Romantic Quality, commented, wisely, on my "New Rules" blog. Romantic Quality shows me that her head is on right. In her profile, she offers two apropos quotes.

"When I dare to be powerful, to use my strength in the service of my vision, then it becomes less and less important whether I am afraid." (Audre Lorde)

"I am not discouraged, because every wrong attempt discarded is another step forward." (Thomas A. Edison)

Just about anything could be better than 2008's economy. In 2008, America suffered the worst economic downturn since 1931. We can blame it all on George W. Bush, but where will that get us? A six month reprieve for the Obama Administration isn't going to do a thing for us. We might as well face reality now and let the Obama Adminstration know we're sick of political gamesmanship in Washington.

We've got a problem that the Obama Administration is not going to make go away. We got to look within for answers. We customarily make New Year's resolutions that concern our own unhealthy behavior. Let's face the fact that we are not created with hive mentality. We've got reason and will-the power to do anything we want with our lives.

The Great Depression followed the 1931 downturn, and persisted until World War II, when the determined American people went back to work. Hey! I was there. I witnessed the Great Depression and World War II. Every good American was out to defend his or her liberty against naked aggression. Make no mistake about it. We, the determined American people, won World War II, not our leaders. So what have they done to us?

It is obvious that a robust economy depends on how the individual feels about the future. We, the American people, during World War II, proved that faith in self is the greatest of powers. Have you ever heard a politician tell you that? No way! They pin roses on themselves. Thanks to the American people's determination, I came home from World War II to a booming economy. I was there, folks! I lived the American dream. What happened? While we enjoyed life, ambitious schemers and connivers took advantage of our prosperity. They built a redistribution empire that guaranteed their reelections.

We would not be making New Year's resolutions were we marching to the beat of the powers-that-be drums. Look at corporate America, especially at financial institutions. We listened and believed. They announced that they had the problem under control. Did they? No! They lied to us and we lost our life savings. In rushed our government saviors, including George W. Bush, with a quick fix. The stock market went into a free fall. We've been lied to by all of them-frauds one and all, who we trusted. We've paid a high price for our trust. Face it! The powers that be do not have answers. They give us shots in the arm-anything to ease the pain and keep their power over us. It's our fault. We gave them authority-with no checks and balances. We looked the other way while they did away with our constitutional protections.

A new administration is about to take charge. It promises to jump-start the economy. All eyes are fixed on Washington. The new administration's answer is a Federal bailout based on Roosevelt's New Deal ideology. It's pathetic! The New Deal kept the depression going from 1933 until the American people were faced with losing their liberty. Roosevelt turned to the American people, asserting that the sneak attack on Pearl Harbor was a day that would live in infamy. The United States declared war on Japan and Hitler declared war on the United States. What a way to end the Great Depression! What the hell does Obama offer the American people in Roosevelt's legacy?

For those who voted the new administration into office, people who are not particularly resourceful, people looking for help from government, people who have been discouraged to cope on their own, people who feel they've been denied an equal opportunity, the jump-start philosophy of the new administration is based on helping those above mentioned allegedly put-upon Americans. It reminds me of the victims of the Holocaust. Many ask why we didn't do something to stop it. It reminds me of those who question using the atom bomb to end World War II. Those Monday morning quarterbacks take no personal responsibility. They leave it to the powers that be to come up with answers. They look to government, not to the economy, for their answers. Just look where it got us.

The economy is based on how the individual feels about it. The Obama administration's jump-start is based on a government managed economy. No, my friends, government does not have the cure for economic hard times. Wealth is not gained by perfecting the known, but by imperfectly seizing the unknown. Hello Roosevelt's New Deal law! No telling how long the hard times will remain for those depending on government's helping hand. I recommend that you read my "New Rules for the New Economy" and then make your New Year's resolutions, of course, with the idea that you are personally responsible for your good or bad fortune.

The United States is presently experiencing the worst economic disaster since the disaster of the 1930s, with the national and private debt astronomical, and trillions of dollars of unfunded liabilities. I hate to spoil your hopes and prayers, but the change the Obama Administration offers is no real change. His support is whistling Dixie.

Essentially it's more of the same, and stepped up. Nothing Obama has said could possibly save the economy from a total collapse. The economy thrives when people have faith, rather than in government, faith in the economy. To be sure, government has been active in a bailout-to the tune of a trillion dollars-while investors watch in horror. When one sees his life savings disappear, and 10 million left jobless, which means less government revenue, more government cost, so far, the bailout has not stopped the free fall, how the hell does anyone in his right mind trust that things will get better with more of the same?. Give me a break! Platitudes mean nothing to producing Americans.
The pity of it is that a majority of Americans depend on government answers. Government is people. People are subjective. Those people in power, having given away the store, are desperately trying to hold their positions of power. There is no new thinking.

As a matter of record, the Roosevelt Administration's answer for the Great Depression of the 1930s didn't end it. The depression lingered for another 10 years. World War II ended the depression. What Roosevelt did was a drop in the bucket. Barrack Obama says he will follow the Roosevelt legacy. From where is the money coming? According to Obama, only the rich are going to pay more taxes, and he's backed away from that answer. Obama does not have an answer. His support, those who depend on government, is flying on a wing and a prayer.

If we're honest with ourselves, we've got to face the fact that America's comfort zone is history. The Great Depression ended when the survival of freedom was at stake, when no sacrifice was too great, when millions gave their lives for freedom's sake. A drastic change of thinking in America is essential. It will not come from sticking our heads in the sand and depending on government. Freedom requires a government of the people, for the people, which implies that you and I are responsible for our freedom, or the loss of it.

It is estimated that four million people, convinced that he has the right answers, will be present for Obama's inauguration. It's a bad omen, folks. When you look to government for answers to your problems, your answers will always be other peoples' answers, with their own interest in mind. The odds are heavily against you. History records that the majority loses when government calls the shots.

To be sure, the establishment has much to lose with real change. Presently, the majority of the American people depend on big government, big tax, and naturally, a robust economy. The Obama Administration has to pull it off with the same kind of thinking that has guided the establishment for the past 70 years. It ain't gonna happen. In my considered opinion, no way is the establishment going to bail out the economy.

Life for me had been trying to climb a greased pole. Government was my enemy. I cut from the herd in 1975-went strictly on my own. Everyone I knew thought I'd lost my mind. I challenged government in a legal action-beat the most powerful government in the world at its own game. I bought a live-aboard sailboat and set sail on the South Atlantic Ocean. When everything should have gone wrong, everything went right. During my two years at sea, I learned the power that nature put in me. I performed miracles. Not only did I save my own life, but the lives of six others. By cutting from the herd, I found love, and for the first time. By going on my own, I can now say my life is good. Was it the luck of the Irish? Louis Pasteur said that luck favors those with a prepared mind. This voice of experience says when one depends on government he is playing a fool's game. He's going against his own nature.

Hey you progressives in support of Obama! The first reason I can think of to take back personal control of your lives is your peace of mind. If enough of us have peace of mind, we'll have a world at peace. If enough of us depend on government, we can depend on war.

The second reason I can think of to take back personal control of your lives is that power begats power. By redistributing wealth, you give the redistribution agent unwarranted power. You lessen the chance for peace, increase the chance for hostility and division.

The third reason I can think of to take back personal control of your lives is that you increase your chance for prosperity. Leaving government in control assures you that you will be less prosperous; thanks to your effort, government more powerful. Am I right or wrong? Here's your chance to show me that I'm wrong. I'll assume no answer means that you can't find anything wrong in my reasoning.

It is a well know fact that politicians spend the greatest part of their time raising campaign money for their next election; they are not thinking about your interests. They don't look to the meek and poor for their campaign money. They look to the rich and powerful, those who have a lot to gain by giving generously to politicians. The rich and powerful know from experience that it pays.

Little by little, over the years Federal income tax has been engineered to favor the rich with deductions and other devises that keep them from paying tax on their profits. The very rich often pay a less percentage of their profits than the worker living from hand to mouth, thanks to their generous campaign contributions. The reasons we get from politicians for refusing to do away with Federal income tax are primarily that it would penalize the poor. Nonsense!

Federal income tax should be replaced with a tax on spending. The basic essentials would not be taxed at all. Politicians say that would be a problem. It is no problem. They have a problem. Diamonds, furs, yachts, palatial homes would have a high tax on them by reason that if high rollers want to live like royalty, they should pay a king's ransom in tax. Politicians say that would cost jobs. Again, politicians have a problem. If the rich wanted to invest in the economy, they would provide jobs, which helps us all, excluding politicians. The name of the game is power. Taxing the rich on their investments in the economy gives government control of the economy. The rich go where they are taxed less and America's economy loses. Mindless government gains more control. Any time a politician says he wants to tax the rich and give to the poor, he should be questioned. Any time the rich and powerful support big government they should be questioned.

In 1935, the Roosevelt Administration, over the objections of the Supreme Court, got Social Security passed. (Roosevelt threatened to double the number of justices on the Court, of course, with activist judges. The Court acquiesced.) At the time, the age to go on Social Security was 65. At first, the tax was minuscule. Only a few were receiving and a great many were paying. It was pay as you go, which meant the longer you go the more receive Social Security, the more you are taxed. When Social Security became law, the average age was 62. The newborn today are estimated to live to well past a hundred. Instead of raising the age for retirement, government has lowered the age. An eight year old, giving these facts, would not be in favor of Social Security. In order to avoid the inevitable, Social Security should be fazed out.

When Medicare became law, the real cost of health are was less than half what it is today. Medical practitioners are the highest paid people in the United States. They have the money and power to keep us paying them outrageous prices for their services. You can't have socialized health care and free enterprise at the same time. You've either got to have socialized medicine or free enterprise. What we've got is a gigantic health care ripoff.

The political game plan has always been to give now and let the future take care of itself. The Founding Fathers knew that. They wrote a Constitution that avoided what we have today. We, the people, should fault ourselves for allowing government to give us a bundle now and let our children and their children pay. In my "New Rules for the New Economy," I've given you folks "twelve dependable principles for thriving in a turbulent world." The long and the short of it is that the Obama Administration promises to make bad matters worse.

While politicians swear to protect and defend the Constitution, they know nothing of the "Higher Law," the background of the Constitution. It doesn't change. When activist judges interpret the Constitution in light of today's needs, they void the Constitution. They practice the law that might makes right. We are now learning that might makes wrong. You progressives better start thinking for yourselves.

Frankly, I'm glad Christmas is behind me. I deserved the lump of coal in my stocking. I'm a bad fit during the holiday season. I try to be decent about it. That's all I can say.

The signs are everywhere. It is undeniable that people think we're in for a big change. Do we hope for things to get better and pick a leader we think will make it better for us? Four million people are expected to attend Barrack Obama's inauguration. I'm not on that bandwagon either. Frankly, it makes me sick in the stomach.

I keep repeating that I don't know how things could be any better for me. So how could this square peg have it so good when I'm anything but going with the flow? Progressives don't know whether they are afoot or horseback. A few of my readers appear to know that by going with the ebb and flow of the tides you don't get anywhere. And, according to our prophets, one of these days the flow of the tides could put the mindless under water.

All I can say is, what a friend I have in Jesus! In 1973, I was personally facing drastic change, and terribly frightened. By 1975, I was on my way, coincidentally, on Good Friday. I didn't plan it, but on Easter Sunday I drove into Miami, Florida, symbolic of my rebirth. I didn't have the answer. All I had was hope that I could make my life better than it had been. I didn't look to authority for my answers. To the contrary, authority was my opposition. That's why I have it so good now.

On TV last night, we were informed by a convert from Islam to Christianity that we should love our enemy. That's why he chose Christianity over Islam. His father was one of the founders of Hamas. He was a leader of Hamas. He now tells the world that the Koran is not the word of God; Islam is a drug; Muslims are sick. In so doing, he signed his death warrant. By the way, the signers of America's Declaration of Independence signed their death warrants. Figuratively speaking, Jesus sacrificed his life that you might be free.

I'd like for Obama's support to be aware that I was locked out of my one-room apartment in Miami for non-payment of rent. Obama is not for the meek. No, I didn't look to my opposition for help. I looked within for answers. Where there is the will, there is the way.

I'm not sure that Jesus ever lived, but his message is what counts as much today as it did 2,000 years ago. Speaking figuratively, as authority did the day Jesus was nailed to a cross-the authorities did that to Jesus because he was a threat to their power-I was a threat to the taxing authority. The courts labeled me a "spurious constitutional objector." Newspaper stories point out what a nut I was to challenge Federal income tax. The IRS, figuratively speaking, were out to nail me to a cross. The lawless frauds were forced to give me back what they took from me with interest. But they left me homeless by assessing me taxes I didn't owe, and freezing my rightful tax refund, partly to pay erroneous tax. Why? Because I dared to challenge the Commissioner of Internal Revenue with my legal action.

The IRS offered to send my tax refund if I'd drop my legal action and pay their erroneous assessment. They later admitted they had no right to do that. I fought a legal battle with the IRS for 11 years. In the end, the IRS admitted that it was mistaken, in a front page newspaper story, in everything they did. They violated two court orders. Barrack Obama's Christian minister for twenty years, Rev. Wright, screamed "Goddam America, the nation I love. Little does Wright know. President Obama will be robbing Peter to pay Paul. He should have Goddamed the United States of America, if not the worst frauds ever, the biggest frauds of all times. It is little wonder that we are hated.

Jesus said, render unto Caesar what is Caesar's. However, he overturned the money changers' tables. He did not render unto Caesar age old principles of right and wrong. I posed the question to my opposition: what's the taxing limit? My answer from the IRS was that 100 percent of my income can be taken in tax. Is that right or wrong, President-elect Obama? As wrong as that absolutely is, the masses are depending on a government and courts that have no qualms about putting defenseless taxpayers on the street, the idea being that the means is justified by the end. Four million admirers are going to Washington, D.C. to welcome being controlled by people who could not care less about them or their rights.

The Jew, Jesus, dwells within us. We are not religious pawns. That realization saved me, not my Christian religion. My religion, if you could call it that, is the Higher Law, background of the U.S. Constitution, to which President Obama, before four million admirers, is going to swear allegiance.

The courts called me a "spurious constitutional objector." What are the courts? The Fifth Amendment to the Constitution, besides telling us we don't have to testify against ourselves, tells us we have every right to be heard in a meaningful way in a meaningful place on government excesses that deprive us of our liberties. The courts are lawless frauds.

A self-fulfilling prophecy is one that brings about the events it foretells. For some time, we have been made aware of what is taking place at this time, namely, the economic meltdown. We've been made aware of the apocalypse, in Revelations, future events, the end of Earth as we know it, fire coming down from Heaven, Satan waging war, a thousand year reign of the Messiah, the last of man's sinful nature, the creation of a new Heaven and Earth.

With the fraud we've got in control of us, it should be at no surprise at all to any thinking citizen that the good times are no longer rolling. We've been left with a choice of self-fulfilling prophecies, the Fifth Amendment or the apocalypse. I tried the Fifth Amendment. I was heard by the press, but not by the authorities. The authorities were forced to admit their "mistake." The fact is, though, that no one but us chickens pay for government mistakes. The admission of government fraud scares the hell out of us. It's going to take more than one to be heard by the authorities. They will hear us, though, when enough of us decide to speak.

First thing in the morning, new thoughts, or rather new versions of old thoughts come to my mind. The world's greatest psychic of modern times, I heard on TV, was Edgar Cayce. His thoughts came to him while he slept. The greatest psychic of all times was Nostradamus, the French astrologer who wrote in riddles. From TV, I learned that he predicted that in our time the dead would rise from their graves. I take that to mean that ancient thoughts would come back to life. He was right. Pythagoras, also an astrologer, was the father of modern math. From Pythagorean geometry, modern science gives us Bell's theorem, and a nonlocal dimension not subject to gravity, electromagnetism, or the speed of light.

Having said this, in the spacetime consortium, it takes time to travel from point A to point B. Einstein mathematically proved that at the speed of light the physical universe does not exist. With a nonlocal universe, which does not include travel, it would necessarily be a state of conscious awareness that exists beyond the speed of light, as states don't have boundaries.

Speaking of states without boundaries, a branch of philosophy, epistemology, which investigates the origin, nature, methods, and limits human knowledge, eliminates expansion of our state of awareness. It limits us to the known. We enjoy our comfort zones. We resist investigation into the unknown. We cling to long-held beliefs that order our lives, beliefs that bring about wars. By the time I was 18, I was taken into World War II, which was followed by the Korean War, the Viet Nam War, Desert Storm, and now the War Against Terror. By the elimination of an expansion of awareness, the wars getting more and more deadly, we're paying a high price for sticking with the known.

I'm against war. I'm for peace. I'm for investigating the unknown. Richard Tarnas, distinguished as a philosopher and cultural historian, spent 30 years comparing the movements of outer planets with events on our planet. That's a very long time to waste his time, isn't it? What would make this generation accept the beliefs of people totally ignorant of our present day world, people who are constantly going to war, people who are constantly acquiescing? Fear of the unknown keeps an authoritarian world from changing. Tarnas does not waste his time. The world is blind to the light that can save us.

Tarnas pointed out to me in Cosmos and Psyche that the influence of the outer planets would be greater than the closer planets to Earth since the angles, one to another, from our perspective, would be slower to change. The orbits of the outer planets around the sun take much longer. Tarnas noted that Pluto and Saturn were unfavorably aligned on September 11, 2001, the day living-in-the-past Islamic terrorists, blind to the light, took down the World Trade Center.

Tarnas noted that "our atmosphere of gravity and tension tended to accompany these three-to-four-year periods." The same unfavorable alignment of Pluto and Saturn again commenced in November 2008, the month Barrack Obama was elected president, and will last throughout his term of office. This blind to the light world will come to a fitting end in 2012, according to prophecy from several sources. Some folks will remain to pick up the pieces and begin again.

When I was born, Saturn was trine Pluto-in the most favorable of alignments-giving me recondite consciousness. Mine is a story of one who picked up the pieces of my life and began again. From Astrologer's Handbook, the alignment of Saturn and Pluto-which now spells disaster-enabled me "to work slowly and make fundamental and irrevocable changes in my life and others' lives. Often there is a sense of destiny or a peculiar karmic mission which they must fulfill."

When I was in my forties, my ruling planet, Uranus, had transited to a position in opposition with itself when I was born (September 17, 1925, at 4:21 P.M.C.S.T. in Houston, Texas). Look me up. I'm an open book. I'm Virgo with Aquarius rising. While in my forties, the pressure would be on me to change, and change I did. I left my old life and began anew. As predicted, my life has changed for the better. As predicted, I'm passing on what I've learned.

Jeanne Avery, in The Rising Sign, points out that Aquarius rising can mean that I would be "a forerunner in setting style, discovering new methods, and showing the rest of humanity the way."

We learn in The Elegant Universe, from leading string theorist, Brian Greene, of a universe of 11 dimensions in which, from the smallest of quarks to largest of supernovas, a harmony of vibrations makes up a beautiful and bizarre whole, bringing us closer an understanding of how the universe works-how we fit into the whole.

Individually, we are physically a colony of vibrating parts. Mentally, we are in a state of awareness. When our mental composure is, according to Tarnas, "marked by widespread indulgence, decadence, naivete, denial," transformation has been "through contraction, conservative reaction, crisis, and termination." Amen! The Bible's Battle of Armageddon is a fitting end for people who don't know whether they are afoot or horseback.

It all fits the mold I find myself in. The end of our sick world will be the beginning of a quantum leap forward, when people will know the power that lies within.

Crystallinks.com“Just as an older sibling can sometimes provide insight and counsel into some of life's difficulties (because he or she went through them first) Jesus as Elder brother can assist us in facing life's challenges. What may surprise individuals is that this fact has nothing to do with religion, it has to do with spirituality and discovering our true relationship with God - a relationship we share with Jesus. The (Cayce) readings not only affirm that Jesus was the Son of God, but they also state the same thing about each and everyone of us. In other words: Jesus was like each one of us and, ultimately, each one of us is destined to be like Him.”

"For ye are a corpuscle in the body of God; thus a co-creator with Him, in what ye think, in what ye do." - Edgar Cayce reading #2794-3

We’ve been struggling to understand consciousness: our state of awareness. I learned what it is in Evan Harris Walker’s The Physics of Consciousness.

“It has only been with the advent of quantum theory that we have discovered proof that we exist as something more than pieces of matter. In the development of quantum theory, the observer emerges as a co-equal in the foundry of creation. . . The tests of Bell’s theorem have shown us that objective reality as it has been conceived is not the true fabric of reality. The observer interacts with matter. Consciousness, the substance of the new-found reality that defines the observer, has fundamental existence. It is the quantum mind that is the basic reality. . .”

“We have found ways to take the measure of consciousness, to study its contact with the functions of the brain, and to discover how the mind, through the agency of the will, affects matter and transcends the limits of space and time. . .”

“Every path we have taken to learn something of the structure of the universe finally comes around to the same result. Whether to understand the interconnection of will, to understand the most basic facts in quantum theory, or to discover the beginning of the Big Bang universe, each path leads to the fact that there must exist a supreme Consciousness out of which everything else springs. . .”

It seems that while we sleep our unconscious minds gather information from the spirit of mankind. Unconsciously, this morning I pulled up the above words you read. I read them and this thought entered my consciousness: our world is destined to make a quantum leap. The second coming of Christ will happen when the world accepts that Jesus’ coming had nothing to do with religion; that Jesus was like each one of us and, ultimately, each one of us is destined to be like Him.

In many an Islamic quarter, it is politically correct to kill infidels. Is there anything as bizarre? In America, political correctness is accommodation, compromise, conform to, provide for, facilitate, concede to, adjust to. Political correctness is endemic to surrendering long-held principles. Political correctness is on Barrack Obama's front burner, central to the American Civil Liberties Union, and essential to the progressive movement. As a consequence, one cannot afford to trust anyone.

Power can make a person go stark raving mad. For example, I give you Barrack Obama, Nancy Pelosi, and Harry Reid. America, another of history's casualties, is not long for this world. Future generations will have to look elsewhere for freedom.

E pluribus unum, the motto of the United States, in Latin, means out of many one. One what? A committee, appointed by Congress on the first day of the United States of America, on July 4, 1776, was for the purpose of designing a seal for the U.S. Out of many, one, means out of many nations, one country, out of thirteen colonies, on nation: Many uniting into one, ostensibly, for the purpose of living together in peace and prosperity. With prosperity in mind, Congress allowed the southern colonies to keep their slaves. Their Declaration of Independence stated: “We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all Men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness.” At the time, God was white. Did God make a mistake in creating man, or does man make a mistake in creating God? Let us continue with this thought. The “Higher Law”—out of many laws, one law—the background of the U.S. Constitution, it comes from many centuries preceding the U.S. Constitution, a moral and ethical code. Nothing in the law of all times even hints that God is white. Allowing for slavery was clearly an accommodation—a compromise of morals and ethics, conforming to custom, providing for those with the power, facilitating, conceding to pressure, adjusting to the times, ignoring the Higher Law: inventing a white God. Thus, after creating a white God, great pains went into dividing the power by the establishment of three branches of government, including two congressional bodies, and elected representatives of the people. After getting it wrong to start with, then they divided the power. The United States, under the direction of a white God, proceeded to grab by force, all the way to the Pacific Ocean, Indian land. America, the land of peace and prosperity, called for a white God. To other people’s, God was not white. They got it wrong. America now has a black president. Should we all get behind the new president? No way, Jose! You’ve got it wrong again. No way are you going to see your dream come true. It all began when the Founding Fathers expediently allowed for slavery in the interest of unity, with the central power to protect America from foreign aggression. Under the excuse of protection, or whatever, giving the power to government, no matter what color, is corrupting and absolute power is absolutely corrupt. The cutting edge of science is about to come up with the proof that God is that indivisible quality that exists in the smallest of excitations all the way up to the whole. We are each—black, brown, yellow, white—a colony of parts making a whole, existing in a state of conscious awareness. The U.S. motto, e pluribus unum—out of many one—means one independent individual meant to look within for the answers. They got it wrong. You’ve got it wrong. We are meant to live by the Golden Rule: do unto others as you would have them do unto you. Under the “Higher Law,” the law that has no beginning and no end, the least government is the best government. You want your liberties? You must see to it that your leaders follow the Higher Law.

I'm reading Mike Huckabee's Do the Right Thing. Huckabee presents his opposition's argument on the right to life as, "Amazingly, while those on the left generally seek to use science as their argument to scoff at the notion of God's having a role in Creation (or even His existence), on this issue they had to completely sacrifice science for their own selfish stand. I agree with much of Huckabee's logic. On the right to life issue, I have my own unique position.

The arguments for and against the right to life have needlessly and irresponsibly brought deep divisions in America. The American people have the silly misconception that the workings of the universe do not have anything to do with our lives; we are isolated in a timespace consortium of our own making. Actually, we've not moved from the religious notion of the Dark Age that Earth is the center of the universe and God's rule centers on Earth. The right to life and the notions of God's rule is purely irresponsible and dangerous emotionalism.

Were Earth slightly closer to the sun, life could not exist. Were Earth sightly smaller, it could not hold the atmosphere we must have to support life. The universe is hostile to life. Earth is here on a billions to one shot. Currently, man's exploration and control of external nature has outdone his exploration and control of his own nature. In our technocratic American society, nature's law is ignored. And here we are, capable of blowing human life to hell. It's crazy thinking, folks.

At the moment and place of my birth, certain characteristics and events were set up to happen. As we think, so we are; we can make ourselves anything we want. Essentially, since I don't accept Huckabee's notion of God I'm wrong about that. Under the law in America, there is no thought given to a universal, or divine purpose. It is strictly man's purpose, which does not agree with my experience.

As for science, there isn't much difference in my genetics and a fly's genetics. I have the choice of living for my particular purpose in life or to follow the path of least resistence. Thus I'm more than my genetics. If I choose to be, I'm a co-creator. Apart from my genetics, I've an immaterial mind, a boundless state of conscious awareness that Huckabee obviously does not include. If we buy his concept of the right to life, we're confined to his concept of God.

For the first forty-nine years of my life, I following the path of least resistence and failed. I had a bigger than life calling. I discovered the real me during my time at sea. From that point on, my life improved. My bigger than life calling placed me in complete charge of my life. During my time at sea, whether I lived or died depended on me. Huckabee's God was not present. Not only did I survive, but I saved six other lives from a watery grave.

On the other side of the coin, I was born into a two-parent relationship, when the word "married" meant a man and woman joined in holy wedlock. My mother took good care of herself during her pregnancy. She bonded with me. In all of my youth, my mother was there for me. My father was the sole breadwinner. The divorce rate was a tiny fraction of today's rate of divorce. There were no drop-outs in my schools. The individual was ahead of social engineering. In my youth, the family was America's cornerstone. Today, the right to life in America depends on society. American society has drifted away from principles that never change.

I came into this life with a karmic mission. Before birth, I was dependent on my mother's mission in life. Had she been on drugs, my mentality would have been affected. Had she lived recklessly, she might have perished, and me along with her. Actually, I had no right to life, and could have been placed in life a victim of my mother's abuse of herself, and if not that her irresponsibility.

The law in practice in America does not encourage personal responsibility. It encourages social responsibility and fails miserably. The law in practice places the cart before the horse. If we are thought to have a right to life from conception, America's social order does not support the notion. There is no meeting of the minds. In America, a mindless division is growing by leaps and bounds. A house divided cannot long stand. Get ready for a drastic change.

Little known at this time, quantum physics is about to discover the why of everything. We are entering a new age, when man makes a quantum leap forward. From several sources, the prediction is that we are at the threshold of doomsday. In my individual case, it was the end of an old life that failed because I followed the path of least resistance. We've reached the end of the line, and not willing to face the fact, clamoring for a bailout. No, we don't have a right to life.

The beginning of a new life, a far better life, happened because I went out on the limb to pick the fruit. We are individually looking at a worthless life, so where do we get the notions that we are government entitled or have a right to life?

This is a wake up call. It is ridiculous to say you are entitled to anything at all. It is insane to say anyone has a right to life whatever the case may be. You have a right to a good life. It's your choice. Chance favors the prepared mind. It all begins with you. Look within for your answers.

First, a look at the present. Taxing and spending is out of control. The American people have been putting off the inevitable for a generation. The music has stopped and there are not enough chairs.

I'm reading presidential candidate Mike Huckebee's Do the Right Thing. In his view, "as a factual description of the worship of that which is devoid of the personhood of God and is, in fact, the worship of that which is material or symbolic," he cuts no slack for those not on his team and against the current no-win situation. "In the case of libertarians, the god of choice is personal power and wealth. . . They are against taxes. Seemingly all taxes, even the ones that would balance the budget, win a war, secure borders, pave a road, put cops on the street, or lock up a criminal." He's selling his "personhood of God."

I have my idea: I AM THAT I AM. Rather than a "a personhood" out there somewhere in the vast universe, an "almighty authority" in a "place" called Heaven, I'm talking about the archetypical human and my spiritual mission. Science has given me a new image of myself-what it means to be a human being. I'm connecting with my God-self energy. My needs become my strengths. No matter what is going on out there, I feel secure. So why should I care about anyone else? I've paid my dues. I'm financially secure. Do I not deserve to live out my twilight years in a rocking chair?

I owe my good life to nature's Higher Law. When I was forty-nine, I was called to live my life according to plan. The "personhood of God" didn't speak to me. The Higher Law spoke to me through my study of the U. S. Constitution. I owe my good life to my stand on the Higher Law-voices from the past, if you will, such as-"We hold these Truths to be self-evident, that all Men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness-That to secure these Rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just Power from the Consent of the Governed. . ." America's Declaration of Independence; voices from the past, such as-"We are born for justice, and right is not the mere arbitrary construction of opinion, but an institution of nature." the Roman jurist, Cicero. Please note that an arbitrary construction of opinion is defined under the word "lawful" in Black's Law Dictionary, as follows: "A further distinction of the word ‘legal' is used as the synonym of ‘constructive,' which ‘lawful' is not. Thus ‘legal fraud' is fraud implied or inferred by law, or made out by construction." The current "legal fraud" is by and through the consent of the governed. Of course the law in America is "legal!" Hitler was legal. "Legal" denotes the form of the law.

Voices from the past put me on the path to the good life I now know. What a wonderful thing it would be if the "personhood" of an almighty authority were replaced with an empowered individual. We, the American people, would not now be playing a game of musical chairs.

P.S. Maybe we should ask Huckebee about this "personhood of God."  God, for one thing, would be represented in the movements of the heavens, and the locations of the planets, and their alignments one with another.  The personhood of God would speak through symbols.  The personhood of God would be in the smallest of excitations all the way up to the whole. The Holy Bible tells us we are made in the image of ourselves (Gen. 1:26).  Why are we looking to an external Almighty?

The inauguration of Barrack Obama as President of the United States will demonstrate a crowning achievement over white supremacy. The very idea is responsible for Obama's election. In fact, that very idea may result in black supremacy, and all that goes with the feeling that one is better than other people.

The idea of a superior being in the "personhood of God," presidential candidate Mike Huckabee calls it, gives the perpetrator the freedom to create any image he or she wants of God. A Christian accurately called my image of God secular humanism, "any set of beliefs that promotes human values without specific allusion to religious doctrines." Thomas Jefferson, who wrote the Declaration of Independence, was a deist. He believed in the existence of God on the evidence of reason and nature.

Whether or not you believe in a superior being that governs the universe, the purpose of this writing is for considerations that come to mind that are not much discussed, in fact, questioned as being in need of being discussed by "wee" voices in the wilderness. When it is one on one discussion, isn't love and light, that which encourages others, enough? If enough of us talked it, would that not make it so for all? I don't think so. Many question. I want my questions answered. If I don't get the right answers externally, I get my own answers. I respect your answers, as long as you don't impose your answers on me. Should I not expect the same from you that you expect from me? Or, are you one of those who feel the majority vote is all that counts; might makes right?

Earth is the only planet in the solar system that is big enough to hold its atmosphere, and placed in its orbit around the sun in the precise location to have liquid water, the necessities of life as we know it. The solar system has enough heavy elements to make life possible. The universe is hostile to life. Earth is a billions to one rarity. After a billion years of life on the planet, evolution leaves humankind the only creature on Earth with our conscious awareness. For the love of God, why? Can it be because the Creator of Heaven and Earth, somewhere out there in the vast universe, said let there be light and there was light. And God said let there be water and land and there was water and land. And God said let us make man in our image and there was man. No way!

Is all we need to do as individuals is talk love and light? Why, pray tell, were we created with reason and logic? Why are we not created hive creatures? We note that love and light has not taken over our thinking. We've got the atom bomb, the means of wiping out all life on the planet, and the powerful to do exactly that. Those who merely wish or pray for peace, like the Jews did in Nazi Germany, die in despair. People are dying by the millions. On that issue, we note that the more militant Jews today are condemned for defending themselves. Their response to being killed by terrorists is thought to be more than should be, by people out of harms way. How thoughtless! We note that it is politically forbidden for American journalists to use the term "Islamic terrorist," because not all of the Islamic faith are terrorists. Is it not right to make life miserable for those who would happily wipe out the American people? It's pathetic! By "torturing" one of the planners of the 9-11 event, putting water up his nose, the Bush people saved the Brooklyn Bridge. They learned that an Islamic terrorist in Brooklyn had the means and will to put the bridge in the river.

With advancing technology being what it is, with a billions to one shot of being at all, we have a rapidly increasing purpose for being more than love and light. I'm not criticizing love and light talk, but at this point in human evolvement is that enough to change the world? Emphatically no!

Quantum physics is getting close to discovering the why of everything. In September, 1925, the month and year I was born, Heisenberg published the uncertainty principle, the forerunner of quantum mechanics, the forerunner of the New Age. So here we sit at the thresholdd of the New Age, fearing change. Returning to the past-Roosevelt's legacy-is the change Barrack Obama brings to office. It's a self-fulfilling prophecy. I'm a messenger of the New Age. Obama is a hold-over of the past.

A study of history proves me right. Good times causes a softening of wills, opening doors for political opportunists and extremism. It's now hang onto the status quo with trillion dollar bailouts as far as the eye can see. No problem. You just print money and hand it out, all the time weakening the dollar, this in lieu of collecting tax from those who produce. Those on the federal dole get cost of living increases.

What about the filthy rich who Obama is going to tax more? They gave Obama more than $300 million to win the election. What a laugh! Obama can talk about taxing the rich and giving to the poor. He's got the income tax code he is not about to get rid of. It has enough provisions in it to fill a large boxcar, all of which are to keep the rich from paying tax and the hand to mouth poor paying. The United States is a fraud and a liar.

Here's what Barrack Obama isn't aware of. The outer planets are going to make him the worst and probably the last president America will have experienced. In Cosmos and Psyche by Richard Tarnas, Under "World Wars, Cold War, and September 11," "While the Uranus-Pluto periods consistently coincided with widespread revolutionary upheaval, intensified emancipatory impulses, and radical cultural innovation, the successive quadrature alignments of the Saturn-Pluto cycle coincided with especially challenging historical periods marked by a pervasive quality of intense contraction: eras of international crisis and conflict, empowerment of reactionary forces and totalitarian impulses, organized violence and oppression, all sometimes marked by lasting traumatic effects. An atmosphere of gravity and tension tended to accompany these three-to-four-year periods, as did a widespread sense of epochal closure: ‘the end of an era.'. . Within moments of the attacks on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon on September 11, virtually every astrologer in the country knew that the forces symbolized by the Saturn-Pluto alignment, an alignment that had coincided in the past with so many grim periods of historical crisis and contraction, had erupted." In November 2008 through August 2011 Saturn and Pluto will be square. According to Astrologer's Handbook, "Squares indicate difficulty in using will and power potential harmoniously and wisely. Past misuse of power often thwarts the natives' self-expression in the affairs ruled by the planets involved in the square and in the houses and sign which these planets occupy and rule."

Too bad about the Obama Presidency, but it was meant to be. Under Saturn square Pluto: "Constantly changing impersonal social conditions are likely to impose disappointments and heavy responsibilities on them. Something somber and mysterious blocks their progress in the affairs represented by the signs and houses which Saturn and Pluto occupy and rule."

While all of the above is taking place, life could not be better for me. Perhaps Obama needs my advice. When I was born, Saturn was Trine Pluto. "This trine gives the natives the ability to understand the laws by which subtle forces are organized, enabling them to use these laws consciously or unconsciously. It favors those who work in such fields as physics, the occult, magic, astrology, or systems of meditation. If other aspects to Saturn and Pluto are also favorable and if the chart as a whole indicates occult leanings the natives can have vast comprehension of the nature of life and of the universe." My astrologer noted that my chart has a configuration that matches the world's most notable psychics. Birth Data: Born September 17, 1925; Time 4:51 P.M. C.S.T.; Place Houston, Texas (29N46 95W22) ; Sidereal Time 16:15:24 Aspects: Saturn trine Pluto.

Everything is going to be alright. With the election of Barrack Obama, there is new hope. Should we all get behind our new leader? Last night I heard former Governor of New York Como compare Barrack Obama with Lincoln, said he, America's greatest president. Why not hope that he will be everything Como predicts? Without a grain of evidence to back his remark, Como matter-of-factly stated that the economic downturn would be over in three years. Just keep the faith? Just accentuate the positive and eliminate the negative and everything will be alright? I can't go for that line of thinking.

After sleeping on Como's prediction, here's what comes to mind. Yesterday I received notice that my government entitlement would be increased to take care of cost of living increases. Government merely signs an I-owe-you when it doesn't have the money, and it doesn't. The FED cranks up the printing presses and prints the money, thus watering down the value of the dollar in circulation. Producers do not get automatic cost of living increases. In fact, at this time many are getting pink slips. Can they simply think positive and everything will be alright? No way! They've got to find a job or else. All of us are depending on them to keep the wheels turning.

My cost of living increase allows me to buy the same as before, which helps the economy. Isn't that great? Obama promises tax cuts for all but wealthy producers. Government I-owe-yous to help everyone-that's what is meant by deficit spending in the trillions of dollars. It's a government managed economy, a shell game. Obama plans to take with the right hand and give with the left, while we glorify the man for all that he is doing for us, not to mention the runts squeezed out, not to mention all those babies we're bringing into the world to pay for the excesses over the years, including Obama's excesses.

What you see is what you get. You've been seeing this ever since government made it a duty to help out the individual. It was during the Great Depression of the 1930s. By the way, Como compared Roosevelt to Lincoln. How so? The Great Depression lasted from 1930 until 1943. World War II ended it. When Roosevelt took office, the United States national debt, in real dollars, was a tiny fraction of what today's debt is. Obama says he will follow Roosevelt's legacy. As if there were no tomorrow, the American people are allowing the greatest scam of all times to proceed unabated.

Here we sit hoping for our caretaker in Washington to make things right. The glory of Obama is everywhere you look. We've been on the Yellow Brick Road for years. Little wonder that we are frightened of the inevitable change? Once the vitality of a nation is diminished by abundance, it is a question of time until it becomes feeble and dies a natural death. The time approaches when the United States could become another banana Republic.

A tiny fraction of the people could have all the wealth and all the power, but that will not happen in America. There's a lot of know-how. I've laid out twelve principles in "New Rules for the New Economy," posted on December 27, 2008. How many have read my post? Most would not know the truth if it hit them in the face. Dumbed down as we are, we don't know that wealth in the coming regime will flow directly from innovation, not optimization. Wealth will not come from perfecting the known but by imperfectly seizing the unknown. The future will be finding, nurturing, and destroying. The intensity will increase; the multitudes left at the switch. The opportunities for go-getters will be unbelievable. We are at the threshold of a quantum leap forward. So, look within for your answers.

Spiritual means as distinguished from physical. Religious means a superhuman agency and belief or doctrine with ritualistic observance. You can't make more or less of either without changing the acknowledged meanings.

As one privileged to have lived a long, adventurous life, and now retired in my bliss, the divisiveness in America I see is due to misinterpretations of "God's law." The U.S. Constitution is based on the "Higher Law." The father of modern law, the Roman jurist Cicero, asserted, "We are born for justice, and right is not the mere arbitrary construction of opinion, but an institution of nature." Who or what is responsible for human nature? Unfortunately, man's law has replaced Higher Law in America.

Professional government liars enforce man's law. I've been before six federal courts, including the U. S. Supreme court. I took their record to the news media. I've the court record to prove it. An investigation proved that the law in practice in the United States confiscated my most fundamental right: the right to exist on my own sweat.

The mindless IRS lawlessly put me on the street. For eleven years-with the courts in agreement with the IRS-the IRS made a "mistake." They told the world that I was a "tax protestor," a "spurious constitutional objector," a "Fifth Amendment freak." Who needs enemies with friends like these? The United States is as untrustworthy as you can find in any government in the world. What are we fighting for? America has a bad name and we spill our blood. I volunteered to fight for freedom during World War II and the IRS gave me their middle finger. Their mistake went unpunished. The United States can do no wrong.

As for religion, secular humanism, any set of beliefs or doctrines that promote human values; that is, the belief of the author of America's Declaration of Independence, Thomas Jefferson, who believed that God is in evidence through reason and nature, now finds the cutting edge of science in agreement, yet religion with the same old doctrines and ritualistic observances as they had in ancient times. Only a fool would insist that we are not consciously aware of vastly more than those who established their religious faiths from Abraham's limited view of reality. St. Augustine said, "Distinguish the ages, and the Scriptures harmonize." Ask the Pope about this. He thinks God is a Christian and his house is the body of Christ. Somebody's got to be wrong. Is it me? We are here with increasing purpose.

Really folks, we are not here to protect the status quo. Roosevelt's legacy has no bearing on today's situation. Roosevelt's policies became null and void during World War II.. I came home to the American dream come true. What happened to the dream? Ask Obama. You need to know why he thinks we need to cling to Roosevelt's legacy. The U.S. Constitution acknowledges the "the letter and spirit of the law;" in other words, the belief from time immemorial that governing authorities are responsible for promoting human values without specific allusion to religious values or one sort or another. Apparently, Obama doesn't know the law. He's a born again Christian. Common sense and the law says there is only one universal consciousness, as distinguished from physical, that governs. Neither government nor religion has the answer. Only cutting edge science has the answer. A Higher Law governs the universe.

A Christian called me a secular humanist, followed by the "anti-Christ." America is not a Judeo-Christian nation. This is a source of great divisiveness. Who wants a God who makes divisiveness? You don't solve the problem by throwing the baby out with the bath water.

The Jew, Jesus, told us to do unto others as you would have them do unto you. That isn't religious doctrine. It's common sense. An example of the law in America-doing unto others before they do unto you-for example, in the name of defense; for example, government entitlements: more holy than thou political determinations of involuntary "sharing;" for example, "the right to life"-and the right to take away the right to exist on the fruits of one's labor through the income tax, stealing from one and giving to another. An oppressor favoring group rights over the individual's inalienable rights, this is what you've voted for.

I just thought you ought to know that it took a lot of blood, sweat, and tears to make America. The present generation of American people are largely unaware that a Higher Law created humans, unaware that they can't conjure up a desirable social end and force all the pieces to fit. The end result never has and never will justify the means. There is always a high price to pay.

Anyone should know that Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid are the best examples you can find of political laughingstock. Barrack Obama has nothing going for him, not the stars, not the Higher Law, the economy is melting down.

Millions are going to Obama's inauguration tomorrow. Time will tell, but if history is right, those who compare Obama to Lincoln are dreaming. One of the dreamers, former governor Como, thinks the recession will be over in three years. If the Higher Law has anything to say about it, the world is going to see a morally, spiritually, and fiscally bankrupt America. So keep on blaming it all on Bush, keep the faith that Obama represents a change, and observe how far that gets you.

A lot of water has gone under the bridge since the inauguration of Franklin D. Roosevelt. In 1933, I was eight-years-old. My parents were strong supporters of Roosevelt. My family sat by the radio listening to Roosevelt's "Fireside Chats." With his National Industrial Recovery Act during the Great Depression, Roosevelt gave the American people hope.

I went from high school to World War II, and came back to a booming economy. I lived the American dream, but I was white. I lived in the South. Black World War II veterans came back to racial oppression. Today, sixty-four years later, a black president will be inaugurated. People of color have every reason to celebrate. Martin Luther King set the stage. With no thought for himself, King, led a non-violent protest. Mahatma Gandhi did the same. Moses led his people out of Egyptian bondage. Jesus gave the meek hope. Abraham Lincoln emancipated America's slaves.

Today, President Obama becomes the most powerful man in the world. In the face of an economy going to hell in a handbasket, unprecedented private and national debt, astronomical deficit spending, and another world war looming, with a weak-willed government dependent people,  and no help from Congress, Obama faces the greatest of challenges any American president ever faced.

While the trend has been to more dependence on government and bigger and bigger government, at the same time, the Korean War, the Viet Nam War, Desert Storm, and now the War against Terror-the United States the bastion of freedom-the trend means a change is needed to greater encouragement to be independent, self-reliant, and personally responsible. It means the kind of leadership Martin Luther King gave black people. It means the kind of leadership Abraham Lincoln gave the American people: no thought for themselves; the right thing for the people.

At the same time talking change, Barrack Obama has been promising to follow Roosevelt's legacy. What did Obama mean when he said that McCain was 90 percent George Bush? We can presume, since McCain lost, that Obama plans to make government bigger and people more dependent. What Bush did, Obama says he is going to do on a much grander scale. After bailing out America's high rollers, after giving 95 percent of the working people a tax break, or a check if they pay no income tax, after giving every American affordable health care and a good education, Obama's plan is to spend America out of the current recession is by improving the infrastructure.

Whether they were losers or winners, politicians call it brilliant political strategy and wish Obama well. It's par for the course. Obama built a strawman and what he planned to do about it. To date, Obama has said only enough about what he plans to do to allow his following to think whatever each wants is what Obama plans to do. If it were not so pathetic, I'd split my sides laughing.

With no thought about my own fate---I'm a well cared-for disabled World War II veteran,  and grateful for it---I predict America is well on her way to becoming a socialistic dictatorship. I won't be around to endure it, but who needs enemies when we've got friends like these? As a veteran of World War II, I can tell you this: if we had thought like today's weak-willed America, we'd have lost World War II.

I do not envy the man. The big celebration will soon enough flame-out. With his present 80 percent approval rating, the moment of truth begins today. Either way he goes, Obama is a marked man. A somber end of this era is clearly in the making.

I was born to be blessed with an understanding of the more subtle workings of the universe. The universe is conscious of itself. Nature deals with gargantuan beasts that have outlived their time here. I've laid out twelve principles in my blog, "New Rules for the New Economy." Before our eyes, slowly, we are witnessing a new age beginning, the innovative prospering and the weak-willed masses going down the tube. It's inevitable. There is nothing to do but watch it take place.  Amen.

I was a combat infantryman in the European Theater of Operations during World War II. For doing the wrong thing-the German people following Hitler's lead-I witnessed Nazi Germany flat on the ground. It made a lasting impression. The pie in the sky people envision is often crap.  I was in Germany for one reason: victory! During World War II, the American people were all intent on victory.  Killing innocent people was no consideration.  All Germans were guilty of the sin of allowing Hitler to lead them.  Justice was served. The German people paid a high price. 

Those who put Obama in office are absolutely ecstatic.  Sorry about this, but we've aIready made too many mistakes.  We're paying a price.  

President Obama on inauguration day say, "Rest assured, we are going to make mistakes." That made an impression. Something's going on in Obama's mind and I think I know what it is. I recall Bush senior telling the voters "no new tax." In campaigning, politicians say what they know the voters want to hear. President Obama knows very well that he can't give everyone what they want. The American people have made many mistakes. America is divided. Obama's look of self-confidence is misleading. Obama is not sure of the present course. Now that the buck stops on Obama, it do make a difference. There are many considerations on the table With all that Obama promised, it will either be more tax or printing money and watering down the money in circulation, the same as tax. Health care for all will be socialized health care, and those who need it the most waiting in a long line. I don't think Obama can turn water into wine. By the time Obama has been in office four years, what he said before taking office will be ancient history.

I left the service with my ears ringing and gradually lost 70 percent of my hearing, at which time I applied to the Veteran's Administration for financial help on the basis that I was permanently unemployable due to a war related injury. My claim was approved. I'm government entitled to taxpayer help.

One of the mistakes President Obama will be making is continuing with Federal income tax and the IRS. As an entry-level worker, the IRS "mistakenly" put me on the street in the name of Federal income tax. They admitted the mistake on the front page of The Palm Beach Post, after 11 years of continuing mistakes. Working people don't have the chance of a snowball in hell against the IRS. The IRS is as close as we can get to the Nazi Gestapo. Compare government entitlements with workers being robbed of their existence. It's a mistake and no excuse for it.

The Nixon Administration's unconstitutional price controls changed market conditions. I, along with thousands of other small businesses, due to price controls, was driven out of business. It was not reported but I know Nixon's price controls were designed by big business. I was in the lumber business and a member of an independent lumberman's organization. Weyerhaeuser was a special kind of member. They paid most of the cost, and for a purpose. In the name of my independent lumberman's organization, Weyerhaeuser helped the Nixon Administration establish the prices on number. During price controls, Weyerhaeuser shipped 90 percent of its production overseas. The smaller mills depended on government timber, which was not price controlled. Weyerhaeuser bid up the price of government timber and either forced smaller mills out of business or bought them out. I depended on small mills. Price controls put me out of business. When I started over as an entry-level worker, the Federal government robbed me of my existence. Had the Federal government been limited to its original intent, as an entrepreneur, I would have never needed a handout from the taxpayers. There's nothing wrong with a free market. The fault is in market manipulators. The price of oil is a good example. Political expedience is the reason that the free market is flawed. It would not happen if the voters knew what is going on.

The voters don't know that the current government flim flam is a repeat of the past. Obama knows and he admits mistakes are being made. The Federal government is bailing out big business, we are told, to save the economy, while small businesses by the ten of thousands close their doors. Get real! Small business hire more help than big business. None of the bailout money is going to create jobs.

President Obama was voted into office by America's majority-who feel that government help is an essential. The feeling started during the Great Depression, which ended 65 years ago. The need for government help, a self-fulfilling prophecy, has grown into an unaffordable cost.

In Mike Huckebee's Do the Right Thing, which includes doing away with Federal income tax and the IRS, replacing the income tax with a tax on spending, he writes about "the hard working middle class" (HWMC). "These are not people who are looking for government or for others to pay their bills or to give them unearned income. They are simply people who work very hard and are living on the edge each day." President Obama, on inauguration day, referring to these people, called them"amazing." President Kennedy said, "Ask not what your government can do for you; ask what you can do for your government." He talked the talk but did not walk the walk.

Huckebee wrote that the HWMC are not defined by race or place so much as by grace and face. "They might be white, black, brown, or yellow. They might live in the South, the Southwest, the Midwest, or in the suburbs of a major city, but they probably don't live on the Upper West Side of Manhattan."

"Folks in the HWMC most likely go to church, mow their own lawns with a push mower, own one suit (for church, funerals, and weddings), and clip coupons for grocery shopping. . . They have a long list of things they would love to have, but know they probably never will because they have kids to feed and educate, and having a new bass boat or truck is probably not as important as making sure their kids have their teeth fixed."

The last thing these folks need is the IRS and Federal income tax against which they have no defense. In a tax on spending, the necessities of life should be exempt. The HWMC should be encouraged to prosper. Federal income tax keeps them humping to exist. If and when they prosper, if they wanted to live like kings, they could afford to pay a kings's ransom in tax. After all, a lot of people go into making the prosperity for one. Years and years of federal finagling, leaving a federal tax code so full of ambiguities that it takes a tax lawyer to figure it out, leaving Federal income tax favoring the rich and penalizing the helpless HWMC, why keep it? It has outlived its usefulness.

We should shoot for the most we can get out of a free market economy, by creating an environment most adaptable to human beings: the more one puts out, the more one is likely to receive. With a tax on spending, the more one spends on himself, the more the tax; the more one invests in the economy, the better the economy.

America's government over the years has turned from regulator into opportunist, or redistribution agent for the national resources. Our sweat is being redistributed according to political power. The runts are squeezed out. It's tantamount to slavery.

Government's proper role is that of regulator of a free market economy.

From where I sit, retired and provided for by the taxpayers, happy am I for my personal good fortune. If the American people want to walk the Yellow Brick Road, I'm asked, why do I worry? Let the future take care of itself. What made President Obama say, "rest assured, we will make mistakes." He's crawfishing, letting us know he's going back on his campaign promises. He has children. I have children. We both want the best for them.  I hope he's going to do the right thing.

Religions, cultures, and politics have been on shifting sands. The coming years are going to be difficult, both economically and emotionally, for this is the end of a cycle of human development, the beginning of a new more advanced human.

From Earth being a disc at the center of the universe-what the eye sees-to a speck of dust, our conscious awareness is growing beyond the spacetime consortium.: we've developed galactic consciousness-become aware of a multidimensional universe, one that is more than the sum of its parts. With increasing awareness of the universe comes increasing awareness of extraterrestrial beings, and authorities hiding the evidence. The division today is both extraterrestrial and terrestrial.

In the same vein of thought, I refer you to the Introduction of the Scofield Reference Bible, America's most popular Bible. Reverend Scofield reveals that "The saying that ‘anything may be proved by the Bible' is both true and false-true if isolated passages are used; utterly false if the whole divine revelation is in view." Over the centuries, we've grown in understanding enough that we don't need to call God a "mighty fortress." Such metaphors do not literally denote what God is. They compare. Moreover, they encourage predators who use religion to further their own self-serving causes.

Scofield further reveals in the Introduction to his reference Bible that in his divine dealings with human beings, God gives us "increasing purpose," referring to St. Augustine, who said: "Distinguish the ages, and the Scriptures harmonize."

The exploration and control of external nature has outdone our exploration and control of our own nature. We're living in a hothouse, authorities pulling levers and twisting valves. I use Scofield's reference Bible to explain God's purpose in present day terms. It can be predicted that the innovative will thrive and those fearing inevitable change, those who remain fixed and inflexible spiritually and emotionally, will die a needlessly hard death.

In Mike Huckabee's Do the Right Thing, I was aroused by the arguments he made for and against the sanctity of life; Christmas and Jesus; Federal income tax and applying morals; the election process; the right to health care; monetary policy; the War on Terror; and the "tipping point."

Huckabee asks: "Is there something about ‘created equal' you don't understand? . . .The arguments for and against the sanctity of life have created deep divisions . ." Huckabee's argument for the sanctity of life begins with, "We hold these truth to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by the Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness." No sale! Huckabee assumes that our heritage is Judeo-Christian. Thomas Jefferson wrote those immortal words. Jefferson, was neither a Jew nor a Christian. The same as I believe, Jefferson believed in reason and the Higher Law of nature. Nature placed the womb in the female. Reason says nature made the female the giver of life. Anything else is a rationalization.

Since we're born into a spacetime world, the time and place we're born has much to do with our lives. At the time and place of America's slaves, they were not born equal. They were owned, like mules and cows. The law of the land should not be concerned with the creation of man, something unknown. Were I the president, I would say it is none of my concern.

Just as the issue of life is phony, is Christmas a phony issue. Christmas is a holiday that is associated with the birth of Christ, but not the only reason for Christmas. Christmas represents peace on earth, good will toward men. I don't know that Christ ever lived but I accept his message as truth. The issue, like the right to life issue, is transparent. It's for the furtherance of socialism. Socialism replaces God's law with man's law. Does it mean that those against socialism are religious? Does it mean that the belief in marriage between a man and a woman is religious? These are all phony arguments aimed at the furtherance of socialism, and its working! It's turning America from a free market nation into one of dependence on government. We are going bankrupt, morally, spiritually, and fiscally, and finally socialist. It's all part of the high and mighty's agenda: total dependence on government.

On Federal income tax, Huckabee: "and every one of those regulations makes some behavior mandatory or out of bounds, and creates yet another loophole for those who are rich enough to hire an expert." The tax code is deliberately designed to favor the rich and powerful at the expense of the poor, to make the poor dependent on government. If you don't believe that, consider this:

On the election process, Huckabee: "For example, during the 2008 campaign, one candidate, Mitt Romney, tried to do a leveraged buyout of the Republican presidential nomination. That fellow raised more than $107 million that was reported on the Federal election Commission forms, much of it from himself and his equally blessed friends, thus dwarfing my $16 million. And other candidates pulled in even more: Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton raised more than $229 million-and yet she didn't get the nomination, either, because, incredibly, she was outspent by Barrack Obama" (who raised more than $300 million). I guess that tells us what the American people want, at least what powerful, monied Americans want. America's elections are bought by the rich.

Huckabee brings to light the right to health care and what that means. He asked insurance CEOs why they don't pay for preventative measures. Most of the health care insurance is provided by large companies. Since the average American worker changes jobs every seven years, insurers don't want to pay for preventative health care programs. They don't want to help the next insurer. Likewise, congressmen are only elected for two years. They don't spend political capital on the future. When they are not raising money for their next election, they spend their time addressing the symptoms of the problems they've already created.

Wouldn't be great if we wanted a new car to print the money and go buy it? Huckabee says the federal government does not run with frugality because it doesn't have to. The Federal government has the ability to print money. It prints money and hands it out, thereby buying votes with phony money, thereby watering down the money supply. It's a hidden tax. It's a big secret how much money is in circulation. With all the money now being spent to bail out the high rollers, the Fed's hand is going to be called.

As for the War on Terror, Huckabee wrote: "None of us would write a check to Osama bin Laden, slip it in a Hallmark card, and send it off to his cave in Pakistan. But that's what we're doing every time we pull into a gas station. We're paying for both sides in this war-our side with our tax dollars, the terrorist's side with our tax dollars." We've made the Saudis obscenely rich, and in exchange, they are funding extremist madrassas all over the world that take impressionable children and turn them into killers."

Osama started hating the United States, and then realizing that America's taxpayers financed the United States, started hating the American people. Maybe we, the American people, need to stop giving the Federal government the means of making war.

Huckabee writes: "Once the behavioral norms of the culture had changed, then came the ACTION phase, when government codified into law those new cultural norms. It's important to note that in successful cultural shifts, the action phase is not only the last thing, but it happens once the society has reached a tipping point in attitude and atmosphere."  When did the United States reach the tipping point?  When Roosevelt and the Democrats hatched the New Deal it grew into a monster.  The American people passed the tipping point.

But I've some news for you. The fourth principle in my "New Rules for the New Economy, "The law of tipping points: Significance precedes momentum. . . Success became infectious, so to speak, and spread pervasively to the extent that it became difficult for the uninfected to avoid succumbing. (How long can you hold out not having a phone?) . . . There is always a tipping point in any business, industrial or network, after which success feeds upon itself. However, the low fixed costs, insignificant marginal costs, and rapid distribution that we find in the Network Economy depress tipping points below the levels of industrial times; it is as if the new bugs are more contagious and more potent. Smaller initial pools can lead to runaway dominance. . . In the past, an innovation's momentum indicated significance. Now, in the network environment, significance precedes momentum."

The House of Representatives, over the 100 percent rejection of Republican representatives, voted in Obama's $819 billion package. This is hay day for Democrats. Special interests are lining up for their piece of the action. The Senate leadership jubilantly predicts they will have the bill on Obama's desk within 2 weeks to sign into law. Why not give the bill a chance to work?

I'll tell you why I don't give the hopeful the chance of a snowball in hell. Why did every Republican in the House vote against Obama's welfare package? The object of the stimulus package is to get money into the economy fast. It makes sense, IF people buy things. If a frog had wings, it wouldn't bump its bottom when it hops. Why is the money mostly handouts? Why not use the money to create jobs, like the Republicans wanted? It would take too long. What if people use the money to pay past due bills? What if they save it out of fear of losing their jobs? The economy doesn't roll. What then? No answer from Democrats. As usual, the Democrats give us phony answers. The nation becomes more divided.

If the Senate passes the stimulus package, the U.S. Treasury is going to give the American people an I.O.U. for the $819 billion. With the national debt already astronomical, they are going to print the money and hand it out in the usual Democrat gimmicks, which will water-down the money in circulation. You need to understand that this borrowed money is a tax in disguise. If the economy doesn't roll, the nation will experience "stagflation." The cost of living will go up requiring evermore Democrat New Deal gimmickry. The stimulus package is an enormous gamble, the same kind of gamble which ended in failure while Democrat Carter was president.

Whenever the individual looks for external help, he ends the loser. He leaves the door wide open for the innovative, who look within for their answers. The New Deal finally worked for me. But remember, it's pay as you go. You pay more and more and receive less and less. It's the old pyramid game. Here's another $819 billion you will not be getting when your number comes up, another added debt you will be paying off the rest of your working years.

And guess what! Those House representatives who voted for Obama's stimulus package will benefit by failure of the bill. It will make the hopeful more dependent on government and those House representatives who voted for the bill more in control. Too bad, so sad. You can't beat the house? Get real! You are playing the wheel of fortune. The odds are against you.

From Joe Hill's Preacher and the Slave

You will eat, bye and bye,
In that glorious land above the sky;
Work and pray, live on hay,
You'll get pie in the sky when you die.

In response to my blog, "We are going to make mistakes," an Obama quote, Keveno said, "‘We are going to make mistakes' means Obama has the confidence to try things and see what works and what doesn't. No one knows exactly what to do with this situation. Clearly what we have been doing is not good operating procedure. But there is a big difference between blindly following a course and intending to learn the course. We have a huge percentage of the population disenfranchised. The potential is fantastic. Tapping it is Obama's goal. It will not be easy. But at least this time, I believe we are on the path."

The last election proved that the majority of the American people think the same as Keveno. Count me out. I had a bigger than life calling 37 years ago that I was put here to do more than look out for my own self interests. My life is now in divine order.

From America's most popular Bible, The Scofield Reference Bible, I read, "The primary of the name Lord (Jehovah) is the ‘self-existent One'" From As A Man Thinketh" by James Allen, I read, "As a being of Power, Intelligence and Love, and the lord of his own thoughts, man holds the key to every situation, and contains within himself that transforming and regenerative agency by which may make himself what he wills."

Self-reliant, or parasite? Caretaker government-caring for those in need-proves to be what the majority of the American people will. The number of Americans in need is growing by leaps and bounds-so to speak, people "disenfranchised." "It will not be easy," says Keveno. Obama will make mistakes, he admits. Indeed! It seems that Keveno and the majority of the American people don't know there is a way to deal with every situation. It's individual.

Keveno and the majority of the American people go on what others think-people in power who are thinking for their own best interests. Government has turned into a stinking cesspool. Rather than go with the flow, I've gone on what I think. If my life could be any better, I don't know how.

Backing my thinking, The Scofield Reference Bible goes on say, "Literally (as in Ex. 3,14), "He that is who He is, therefore the eternal ‘I AM.' But Havah, from which Jehovah, or Yahwe, is formed, signifies also ‘to become,' that is, to become known, thus pointing to a continuous and increasing self-revelation."

Indeed, we Americans have lost sight of the fact that we are each here with an increasing purpose. We've explored and controlled external nature-followed the vogue-and not explored and controlled our own nature. On this, The Scofield Reference Bible says, "It is significant that the first appearance of the name Jehovah in Scripture follows the creation of man. It was God (Elohim) who said, ‘Let us make man in our image' Gen. 1, 26; but when man, as in the second chapter of Genesis, is to fill the scene and become dominant over creation, it is the Lord God (Jehovah Elohim who acts. This clearly indicates a special relation of Deity, in His Jehovah character, to man, and all Scripture emphasizes this."

Therefore, on the thought of exploring and controlling our own nature; that is, I AM THAT I AM, my God-self nature, in The Physics of Consciousness by Evan Harris Walker, we read, "But it has only been with the advent of quantum theory that we have discovered proof that we exist as something more than pieces of matter. In the development quantum theory, the observer emerges as a co-equal in the foundry of creation. . .Consciousness exists. And for the first time, we have used the instruments of scientific investigation to fit its existence into the overall tapestry of reality. For the first time, we understand what consciousness is. We can understand mind as including conscious experience and will. We can see how these fit into the physical processes of the brain that are involved in thinking, the data-processing operations at synaptic junctions in the brain. . .Matter, objects-a physical domain exists that is governed by immutable laws. But these laws leave open a range of happenings that are left to the selection of the mind. Behind this selection is the will. The will works much like a communications channel that links all of us to a common control center. Walker, repeating James Allen's thought in a government of the people for the people, "Within the power of our combined will lies the power to do essentially anything. Within the power of this will lies any knowledge-of anything known, or knowable-of the past or the future. And it is a power that is always present. This is the collective will of all sentient beings with the power of determining the state of all events, with the knowledge of a seer. This is the Omnipresence, the Omniscience, the Omnipotence of Abraham's God, at once personal and supreme."

There is a basic structure in man's increasing purpose, says Walker, a unity with all of nature, all that is-aspects of the mind of man and God. How can it be both personal and supreme? When I found myself alone at sea on a small sailboat, totally dependent on me, I found the power that exists within. Clearly, America's ship of state is heading for the rocks. The American people are groping for answers, conventional answers: political justice-part legal part natural, legal, that which is indifferent to natural law, an Obama contrivance, if you will; cross your fingers and hope that it works. In natural law, we have a transcript of nature's consistency, both personal and supreme.

You cannot ignore the Higher Law and remain a nation. It is this underlying structure of law that is driving our struggling souls. "A universe that has only matter cannot have consciousness and cannot have will." Who in government knows my needs? Who, other than I, know my power? "Some have failed," says Walker, "to see any place-any space-where God could reside, and others have failed to see where any consciousness could hide within the atoms of matter. But we have found that reality. We have found that hiding place. We have seen that the universe springs from every thought of God and matter from the very existence of the mind."

Says Keveno, Obama has the confidence to try things-to see what works and what doesn't. To be sure, there is much he did not say, I dare say he does not know. Kevono's remark speaks for the majority of the American people. Who pays for the mistakes? Indeed, under the law, is the majority of the people, who will on the minority Obamanation, is it right and just that the taxpayer should be subjected to being taxed out of existence in order that the government entitled get their "rights." The IRS has the authority to take every cent a worker has in the name of Federal income tax. Said worker is guilty of not paying the alleged tax unless he can prove he does not owe the tax in a court made up of judges who never give the worker the right to challenge the constitutionality of a tax that deprives the worker of his existence. It may be pie in the sky, but in the United States they put the working poor on the street for not paying their tax. Obama is trying things, not trying to correct the injustice of federal income tax.

Law is reason codified by experience. "A tax to promote the general welfare may not be wrested out of its setting and legalized by ignoring its purpose as the mere instrumentality for bringing about a desired end," said the Supreme Court when it told Roosevelt, the Democrats, and New Deal law to take a hike. So it's legal. Hitler was legal. Speaking on the true purpose of the law, said John Adams, one of America's founding fathers, "The moment the idea is admitted into society that property is not as sacred as the laws of God anarchy and tyranny commence." I really must ask you, the elated Obama crowd, what right do you have to try things with people's money who do not agree with you? Does the majority vote mean you are privileged to do anything you want? What gall!

New Deal Obama's philosophy is that the end result justifies the means. He doesn't want to address the cause or the cure. He chooses to address the symptoms. He confines himself to pie in the sky progressive liberal remedies. Really, Keveno, is it the confidence to try things, or is it Obama conniving to increase government's strangle hold on the individual? I'd bet my hat you can't give me a logical answer. Pray tell me-anyone-what on earth does a godless caretaker government offer the individual but enslavement? So it's legal. So what? Get out of my face! It is lawless. Isn't this progressive liberal jubilation asking for another Civil War? You people, as usual, are dreaming.

Created to cope through reason and logic, not by the law of the jungle, we have a peculiar way about us of filtering out what we don't want to know, perhaps something from our early existence shamans taught us. At any rate, archetypically, to give you some information as you try to find out what your mission is, we've a new image forming of how to think, how to connect with our God-self energy, a time when we can look past the ego-self and the external, to see our higher self, when need becomes strength. I got this from astrologer James Redfield, the author of the Celestine Prophecy.

Having said this, the breaking news informs us that another of Obama's cabinet picks has admitted that he cheated on his income tax. How widespread is the cheating? Nobody knows, but one thing for sure: most of the cheating is not done by the backbone of the American economy, by America's hard working citizens. Their taxes are withheld from their paychecks. Most live from paycheck to paycheck. A bad case of the flue could mean a major financial disaster.

The object of your Constitution is to keep the power in balance. Bush, the "compassionate conservative," gave the rich a reduction in the capital gains rate-to help the economy, in the process doubling the national debt-while looking the other way on the mischief taking place on Wall Street and in Washington. How dumb can you get? We're informed that the tax rate for the richest 400 Americans fell by a third through the first six years of the Bush Administration. By the way Democrat, Chuck Schumer, was in favor of giving the richest of the rich a tax break by calling business income something other than business income. Some people make their living investing other people's money and sharing in the profits. During those years that George W. Bush was at the helm, the richest 400 doubled their incomes, on an average, to an unbelievable $263.3 million per year. The rich own America. Something needs to be done about it.

So what is President Obama doing for the new image I mentioned above? He offers an "economic stimulus" package that gives workers income tax reductions, or checks if they don't pay an income tax-plus a host of permanent welfare state increases, in fact, the biggest single increase in government in U.S history. President Obama takes this opportunity to give the American people a liberal Democrat's dream: caretaker government. Congratulations!

Where does Obama get the money? Who cares, as long as he gives American workers cradle to grave security. Think again, friends. Think about the fact that the very rich gave President Obama the lion's share of the over $300 million, far and away the most campaign money ever given to a candidate running for president. Think about the fact that Obama has the power to print the money to buy working people candy, thus watering down the money now in circulation. Working people can look for the highest inflation in U.S. history-without compensating increases in wages. The same as those banana republics south of the border, the rich pay off their loans with monopoly money, while the impoverished working people come to President Obama begging for help. Bingo! It works like a charm every time people forget the real world. We've got another socialist dictatorship in the making. The name of the game is control. Oh yes! After the horse is out of the gate, you better believe the dumbed down will care, and too late to do anything about it.

President Obama compares himself with Lincoln. Why? Overtly, the division is over a caretaker government (socialism) and free enterprise (capitalism), but actually over lack of understanding of the natural laws that govern the universe, which laws have been recorded by our keepers of the law as intrinsic principles, laws that don't change with the vogue. The Roman jurist, Cicero, speaking to those taken by spellbinders said: "If it were possible to constitute right simply by the commands of the people, by the decrees of princes, by the adjudications of magistrates, then all that would be necessary in order to make robbery, adultery, or the falsification of wills right and just would be a vote of the multitudes."

If everything works according to plan, the big money the rich invested in getting Obama elected will be the best investment the world's wealthiest ever made. Obama, one of the smoothest talking con artists to come along, educated in Chicago's Democratic machine politics, and black-we all want to help those who have been treated unfairly-perfect! He wanted social justice for the poor. He wanted to be President of the United States. The leftist press would not talk about his past. Money goes where money flows. The rich are rich because they think every minute of their waking hours about being rich and powerful. Obama is the right man for their purposes.

Pathetically, the enormous division in the United States is from self-serving knaves out to control us. We've now got the biggest division since the Civil War, and quite naturally, both, the results of brutes in control, the former sanctioning black slaves, the latter sanctioning tax slaves. And none other than the second coming of Lincoln in charge. All this bad news is for the express purpose of telling you what you can do to stop Obama from implementing his plans against you.

We are all here to fight for a piece of the action. Humans were created with reason and logic-for the purpose of using it to cope, and to see though people out to use you. Why do you need a caretaker government, or any intermediary. They are the fox watching over the henhouse. God helps those who help themselves. You've got to put out everything you've got because others are. It's in the nature of all sentient beings. It's the way we improve ourselves.

I got my education in the school of hard knocks. When I was a single, entry-level wage earner, with no deductions, my take-home pay was not enough to pay my rent on minimum housing. I was locked out. Down the street from my pad, there was a mile long line for food stamps my withholding tax was financing. It makes no sense, unless you happen to be an elected representative. Workers unable to earn the basic necessities, thanks to withholding tax, are kept out of sight, out of mind.

How do the meek stop wealth from unjustly gravitating to the most aggressive? I think a lot about that. I think about how to keep in control of my life. Without working, doing what I do best, this you are reading is what I do. I try to be of help to those of you who are too busy trying to make ends meet to think about these things. The taxpayers pay me to do this.

The solution for the problem of too much power in too few places is fundamentally simple. The implementation of the solution is the problem. The powerful are not going to give up their power without a fight to the finish. The first step in the solution is getting the truth out. In my case, when I say I couldn't pay my rent on my take home pay, the response is, "I'm sorry." Sorry for what? We think of take-home pay as what we're paid, period. What the government gets is something other than our sweat. We think of a tax refund as something government gives us. Obama is giving the working people something, all to stimulate the economy. Bush gave investors a capital gains tax reduction to stimulate the economy. The economy is one thing and tax another. Tax goes to government to spend. The economy gives to workers to spend. Government is mixing to the two in order to control the economy, as a matter of fact, unconstitutionally. Whose fault was it that Hitler murdered six million Jews? Compare America's taxpayers to German Jews. My friends, your rights are not automatic.

The income tax was something only the rich paid when I was a boy. I can tell you that it would have been something we all thought about if the Federal government had taxed working people on their incomes when I was a boy. There would have be a tax revolt. The first step in the solution is people with an understanding of the difference in what is lawful under the U.S. Constitution and what is legal. Legal is merely the form of law. Government management of the economy is a legal subterfuge. It is a fraudulent construction of the law, a government expedience the same as slavery was a government expedience. Of course I'm speaking from the standpoint of common sense, or common law, the background of the U.S. Constitution. I'm not a paid professional liar, the kind with the public voice-namely lawyers and politicians.

The second step in the solution is by knowing a far better way of collecting tax. The income tax has been so manipulated and complicated by Congress that it is corrupted beyond repair. A tax on spending is the logical solution. Illogical special interests fight the idea because it kicks over their apple carts. I've heard their arguments. They are ludicrous. A tax on spending would significantly cut the cost of tax collection. It would stop tax cheats. It would stop the rich from paying less tax than they should. Those workers who can't now survive on their take-home pay now would see a significant and immediate increase in pay-their pay all along. They would be tax exempt on the necessities of life. And no taking with one hand and giving with the other in the biggest shell game of all times. The economy would get a tremendous boost. Entitlements could be fazed out and the size of government reduced to a fraction of its present size.

Let us say a CEO was paid an obscene $200 million per year. With a tax on spending, if he wanted to live like a king, he would pay a king's ransom in tax. The rich wouldn't have the loopholes in the income tax. The money the rich invested would not be taxed-no capital gains tax, no corporation tax. What a boost to the economy! What's the difference in the CEO getting paid and the corporation he manages keeping the money to invest, or handing it out to the stockholders. It's all the same. Instead of going to build an oppressive and costly government, the money would all go to build the economy, the source of it all. Let's make this a topic for discussion, everyone contributing his or her thoughts.
