Does Death Exist? New Theory Says 'No'
Commented Dec 10, 2009 at 01:37:30 in Living
“When looking at the images from the Hubble Deep Field views, it gave me a feeling that the only
way we might ever travel those vast distances would be in our purer form, that light, that spirit or force of energy.
Perhaps we aren't meant to travel the speed of light until we are the light, so to speak.
Perhaps what we know as life here on earth, is only a metamorphosis stage leading to
our purer form of light-energy?”

“The fossile fuel industries will go kicking and screaming and bribing all the way to the end

“You said the fight is against militants "inspired by Al Qaeda"
Thank you for catching that often overlooked detail.
Now thanks to the unimaginable blunders of the Bush administration,
and the still curious absence of public enemy #1`, We are left with
an entire generation of potential Al Qaeda Wannabe reprisals.
Theres also that little matter of the pipeline routes and power transmission routes,
that just so happen to be a mutual goal of several nations and energy companies.
How interesting that this subject has been completely black balled by the media.
We hear so many justifications for continuing the battle, but
exactly what goal is trying to be reached?
It still looks like ancient history to me.
Conquer, subdue the indiginous population and exploit the resources.”

“When I see the results of the Hubble Deep Field view, it's impossible not to be humbled
by the possibilities.
Perhaps we already are perfectly capable of inter-stellar travel, but maybe not in this form.
Perhaps those distances can only be traveled in a purer form of ourselves
as pure light or light particles?
Perhaps the only way to bring our world together is to help everyone see our own insignificance
in the greater universe.”

“A possible and interesting scenario would be a prediction of a great asteroid impact within , let's say 50 years.
That would maybe unite the nations and let us forget our internal disagreeme
It's very possible it will happen in the future because earth. like the moon has also a record of great impacts as we all know.
Anyway, we should prepare to move to Mars or some other planet in the solar system, that's probably a strategic necessity in the long run (1 million years) unless we find a way to traverse the vast gap between stars.”

“Not only technology that is suppressed for supposed "reasons of national security" -- but how about technology suppressed for reasons of religious insanity? Stem cells, for example, which Bush kept burying because of his own personal religious beliefs. So instead, he let other nations take the lead on that. And, hmmm, this new Shuttle replacement vehicle was also a Bush initiative. What a coincidence! Since he did all his governing based on his religious convictions, geez, I guess we should just be thankful he isn't Amish, or he'd have made it illegal for us to have cars and electricity.”

“It is impossible to believe anyone who insists on the most expensive, most unreliable sources of power when they require 100% back-up from fossil fuels. It is laughable to hear them say they reject the only possible solution to pollution and emissions when they propose the world is in peril. There are impending floods, droughts, our children will perish and they cannot accept storing existing and future waste ina facility designed for 10,000 years of safe storage. They prefer to keep the hundreds of existing storage locations scattered accross the country in far less secure locations. They have got to be kidding. It is simply a joke.”

Unemployment Solution: Pay People to Work Shorter Hours
Commented Nov 17, 2009 at 22:43:07 in Business
“When I lived over in Germany as a teen, I remember getting out of class for the day and maybe
having to do 1/2 hour of homework. Meanwhile all my German friends were covering 12+ subjects including at least 2 extra languages with a minimum 3-5 hours homework every night.
Their version of the SATs determines if you are academic material or if you are going on to trade school, but either way, the goal is to make sure every student becomes a productive member of society.
If a student demonstrates a sincere desire to learn, that student is given every opportunity to advance.
With 2 in college right now, I will tell you, we may have the best " funded" universities, but our education system is failing most kids and they are not ready for the work force or the struggles of life.
The solution to unemployemt is that you collect your unemployment check each week AFTER you finish your training classes.
Yes some Americans work very hard. Some would love to have the opportunity to work hard and some
think they deserve a salary just for showing up.
We're getting our arses kicked by people who are hungry to succeed, hungry to learn, and smart enough to learn from our mistakes.”

“American corporations would use this plan to render full time employees to part time status
so they could try to weasel out of paying health benefits.
My extended family and friends in Germany have a running joke about who lost the war.
They have free health care, job training and free university, far advanced public transportation, 2 years
of maternity leave and plenty of vacation and other programs that strongly support families.
I argue in return, that more than half of our taxes go to the military industrial complex and corporate
protectionism rather than actually benefitting the people.
Apparently Japan hasn't done so bad either, so who really won?
In my view the solution to this catastrophe is to reduce home loans to 2% APR and automotive loans
to no more than 6% . Credit cards should be limited to a maximum APR of 10% with criminal
charges for usury strongly enforced.
This is a nation of consumers and service industries. The only way to re-start this economy is
to stop protecting the banks and put the money in the hands of the people.”

“Professional American workers generally have a pretty crappy existence -- no job security, no pension, huge pressure to work many hours, very short vacations, non-portable health care. All for the small chance of striking it big. European workers have a pretty good existence. Isn't living well a really important national value that cannot be compensated with all the debt-financed "stuff" that Americans accumulate in good times. It is amazing that Americans are not up in arms about this; good thing we have our national myths of "freedom" and "opportunity" to anesthetize us....”

“Yes, this is why you need penalties associated with the plan - penalties that allow employees to bring suit to recover any lost wages whenever this plan is misused for any purpose. Strangely enough executives are wary of misusing suits when they know their employees or a union can sue them for several hundreds of millions of dollars. Has a tendency to make them think twice, unlike taking a credit.”
