Bravo, as copilot, and I did a road trip to one of my almas mater in Amherst, Mass. this weekend. Decades since I studied there, and was struck at how politically correct our public and private campuses have become. The event honoring graduates we attended was at the lovely fine arts center, right across from the campus pond. On both sides of the entrance to the building were enormous loud signs declaring, sanctuary city style, that hate isn't tolerated on campus. Unless of course it's hate against straight white conservative older men, some with small hands and carrot tops. Aa..

Just cut and paste this into your profile

Hi
I'm a lonely male/female
I have too much money
No home life
No common sense
And am just ready and waiting to be scammed
I'm not interested in your hard luck story
Just provide your bank details and let's get this over with as quickly and painlessly as possible

When I worked at a bank, I had been asked to pick up some snacks for the boardroom meeting. I wasn't crazy about shopping for the bigwigs but I did take a moment to consider the people attending. None were under the age of 50 and their BMI was over a healthy number. Compounding the issue was the stress level I imagined a VIP would have. Any type of junk food would be deadly! I could have just made some sweet tea with a little antifreeze. Because of my great concern for their health, I opted for the sugarfree muffins and cookies. In the words of my Indiana mother, it went over like "a lead balloon".

Now I sit me down in school
Where praying is against the rule
For this great nation under God
Finds mention of Him very odd.

If scripture now the class recites,
It violates the Bill of Rights.
And anytime my head I bow
Becomes a Federal matter now.

Our hair can be purple, orange or green,
That's no offense; it's a freedom scene..
The law is specific, the law is precise.
Prayers spoken aloud are a serious vice.

For praying in a public hall
Might offend someone with no faith at all..
In silence alone we must meditate,
God's name is prohibited by the state.

We're allowed to cuss and dress like freaks,
And pierce our noses, tongues and cheeks...
They've outlawed guns, but FIRST the Bible.
To quote the Good Book makes me liable.

We can elect a pregnant Senior Queen,
And the 'unwed daddy,' our Senior King.
It's 'inappropriate' to teach right from wrong,
We're taught that such 'judgments' do not belong..

We can get our condoms and birth controls,
Study witchcraft, vampires and totem poles..
But the Ten Commandments are not allowed,
No word of God must reach this crowd.

It's scary here I must confess,
When chaos reigns the school's a mess.
So, Lord, this silent plea I make:
Should I be shot; My soul please take!
Amen

WD-40 Well, Who Knew...? A WONDERFUL FIXER UP

WD-40 was created in 1953 by three technicians at the San Diego Rocket Chemical Company. Its name comes from the project that was to find a "water displacement" compound. They were successful with the fortieth formulation, thus WD-40. The Corvair Company bought it in bulk to protect their atlas missile parts.

Ken East (one of the original founders) says there is nothing in WD-40 that would hurt you.

When you read the "shower door" part, try it. It's the first thing that has ever cleaned that spotty shower door. If yours is plastic, it works just as well as glass. It's a miracle! Then try it on your stovetop... Voila! It's now shinier than it's ever been. You'll be amazed.

43) If you sprayed WD-40 on the distributor cap, it would displace the moisture and allow the car to start.

Couple of days I have been reading about ANGER management!

While looking at positives for the ones getting in range.....this pic says endless words:



dear fellows

How do you deal with someone's anger or even when it gets to your anger

What is real? How do you define 'real'? If you're talking about what you can feel, what you can smell, what you can taste and see, then 'real' is simply electrical signals interpreted by your brain.

WE ARE ALL BELONGS TO GOD AND TO HIM WE MUST RETURN .

A school is a place of learning and so it is sacred. The temples, churches and mosques are not sacred for they have stopped learning. They believe; they have faith and that denies entirely the great art of learning, whereas a school like those to which this letter is sent, must be entirely devoted to learning, not only about the world around us, but essentially about what we human beings are, why we behave the way we do, and the complexity of thought. Learning has been the ancient tradition of man, not only from books, but about the nature and structure of the psychology of a human being. As we have neglected this entirely, there is disorder in the world, terror, violence and all the cruel things that are taking place. We have put the world`s affairs first and not the inner. The inner, if it is not understood, educated and transformed, will always overcome the outer, however well organized it may be politically, economically and socially. This is a truth which many seem to forget. We are trying politically, legally and socially to bring order in the outer world in which we are living, and inwardly we are confused, uncertain, anxious and in conflict. Without inward order there will always be danger to human life.

What do we mean by order? The universe in the supreme sense has known no disorder. Nature, however terrifying to man, is always in order. It becomes disordered only when human beings interfere with it and it is only man who seems to be from the beginning of time in constant struggle and conflict. The universe has its own movement of time. Only when man has ordered his life, will he realize the eternal order.

Why has man accepted and tolerated disorder? Why does whatever he touches decay, become corrupt and confused? Why has man turned from the order of nature, the clouds, the winds, the animals and the rivers? We must learn what is disorder and what is order. Disorder is essentially conflict, self-contradiction and division between becoming and being. Order is a state in which disorder has never existed.

Disorder is the bondage to time. Time to us is very important. We live in the past, in past memories, past hurts and pleasures. Our thought is the past. It is always modifying itself as a reaction to the present, projecting itself into the future, but the deep-rooted past is always with us and this is the binding quality of time. We must observe this fact in ourselves and be aware of its limiting process. That which is limited must be ever in conflict. The past is knowledge derived from experience, action and psychological responses. This knowledge, of which one may be conscious or not aware, is the very nature of man's existence. So the past becomes all-important, whether it be tradition, experience or remembrance with its many images. But all knowledge, whether in the future or the past, is limited. There can be no complete knowledge. Knowledge and ignorance go together.

In learning about this, that very learning is order. Order is not something planned and adhered to. In a school, routine is necessary but this is not order. A machine that is well put together functions effectively. The efficient organization of a school is absolutely necessary but this efficiency is not an end in itself to be confused with the freedom from conflict which is order.

How will an educator, if he has deeply learned all this, convey to the student the nature of order? If his own inward life is in disorder and he talks about order, he will not only be a hypocrite, which in itself is a conflict, but the student will realize this is double talk and so will not pay the least attention to what is being said. When the educator is immovable in his understanding, that very quality the student will grasp. When one is completely honest, that very honesty is transmitted to another.

- Krishnamurti-

“Reality exists only through experience, and it must be personal experience. However, once related, even personal experience becomes a narrative.”

“You should know that there is little you can seek in this world, that there is no need for you to be so greedy, in the end all you can achieve are memories, hazy, intangible, dreamlike memories which are impossible to articulate. When you try to relate them, there are only sentences, the dregs left from the filter of linguistic structures.”

Have a nice Sunday.
