New to This...
Hi there... New to this and just hope I have done everything ok 
gawk to your heart's content
Well, folks, I've just posted two pictures of me for people to view. I have never had much of a clue what I look like and hope people will judge me for aspects which I have somewhat more understanding of and control over. I have absolute trust in the people who took these on may behalf. If anybody ooks at these pictures before reading more than this blog, I'd be interested in what you think you can deduce about my personality merely from the pictures.

One Poem
In eternal garden,
near the endless flowers,
in last spring.
I see the beautiful girl in sun,
with orange flower in her hair.
near the endless flowers,
in last spring.
I see the beautiful girl in sun,
with orange flower in her hair.
an excellent weekend
It's thrilling to be having such an excellent weekend. Yesterday, I met the first of hopefully many new friends from this site. We had a good evening at a local restaurant together. I didn't expect that kind of result for months if I was lucky. You'd think a veteran online shopper like me would take having a living interested person show up in stride. There's just a degree of unreality about reaching out online that make real-world results absolutely magical.
I spent a good chunk of the morning acquiring freshpodcast. One of the deliteful trops of data I slurped down was the third Reif lecture from the BBC. Mr. Sax is an economist who sees a lot of case for hope that humanity will be able to solve the many proglems faced by the world. Being an optimist myself, I'm gettin sadly used to being surrounded by gloom and doom. It positively puts a new spring in my step to hear him utline his reasons or hope, wisdom and insite. Everyone ought to hear this year's Reif lectures. They're a tremendous call to action.
To top it all off, I'm seeing a couple of very good friends tonight for dinner at their house. It's hard to beet good food and good company together after spending so much time alone. This weekend is a phenominal bright spot which has truly brought home the fact that it is indeed possible to start fresh in life. I'll be working with new energy and determination this week. When people make a positive difference, it's only fair that we put whatever effort we can in to making one for others. Living by that philosophy has always stood me in good stead.

Surrender Freedom for Security
AMERICANS SURRENDERING LIBERTIES: SHADES OF GERMAN HISTORY
The U.S.A. Patriot Act sailed through Congress with little opposition on the part of the American people. And the vast majority of Americans don't seem to mind.
They seem to have accepted the notion that they must rely on the federal government to take care of them.To most, security seems much more valuable than freedom!
We must all remember that this is exactly the way Adolph Hitler and the Nazi Party took control in Germany. They did not seize power by force; the German people happily gave them power on the promise of national security.
Since 9/11, even those Americans who in the past have championed freedom and independence now demonstrate readiness to gladly yield their liberties. It does not seem to matter one iota that they are losing their right of privacy and their right to be secure in their own homes.
When told that the Patriot Act is practically a carbon copy of Hitler's Enabling Act, most either yawn with indifference or retort with disbelief. They seem to be oblivious to reality.
For some, their personal support for President Bush will not allow them to look objectively at the details of his Patriot Act (or virtually anything else he does). They truly don't want to believe that Bush could ever promote something untoward. Yet, was this not the same reasoning used by the German people in the 1930's? They loved and trusted Hitler so much, they could not bring themselves to believe that anything he did could be wrong.
Americans need to reread the principles expressed by their Founding Fathers. Thomas Jefferson rightly said, "In questions of power, then, let no more be said of confidence in man, but bind him down from mischief by the chains of the Constitution."
Some express statements such as, "Well, if you're not doing anything wrong, you don't have anything to fear." This loses its legitimacy when "the powers that be" can alter what "wrong" is at will.
Americans are presumed to be guilty of wrongdoing and mechanisms are in place to begin the process of proving it; the discovery portion of this process may now be done under cover of darkness and secrecy. Gone is the presumption of innocence. Under the Patriot Act, gone is the right to an attorney,the right to habeas corpus,the right to a speedy trial,the right to be secure in your papers and effects. The Patriot Act is turning America into a Nazi-style police state.
Americans need to wake up to the reality that there already exists a gargantuan effort to put a military-style federal apparatus in place. In recent years, federal law enforcement has expanded to the point where there is now an equivalent of five military divisions armed and invested with the power to make arrests. And this does not include the fact that certain of our military and C.I.A. personnel are also being trained and instructed in domestic law enforcement. Can people not see the writing on the wall?
The Patriot Act so loosely defines "terrorism" that virtually anyone or anything could be considered "an act of terrorism" including speech! Plus, Bush lovers need to remember that Dubya will not be president forever. They need to think about the likes of Hillary Clinton or Alberto Gonzales interpreting and enforcing the Patriot Act!
The bottom line is, in the name of safety and security, the American people, as did the people of Germany in the 1930's, are willingly surrendering their liberties. One more 9/11-style attack will probably mean the end of whatever freedom is left. And sadly, the vast majority of the American people will probably be ok with that, as well.
In the end, however, the loss of freedom will not bring America peace and safety. Instead, destruction and tyranny will result. A simple look at German history proves that.
Of course, America's founders rejected tyrannical government. However, it appears that many of today's Americans share more in common with German history than with their own.
