Sales of Decadent Sugary Foods Aren't Sustainable

Recently, I encountered the stats that within a generation’s time 1 in 3 Americans will have diabetes, and that consequently life expectancy will likely plummet.  This diabetes threat is real.  It could happen, especially given the prevalence of foods with added sugar at the average American grocery store.  

Greedy capitalists have placed faith in idols.  They have no fear, for as Judaism puts it, “They say God does not avenge.”  They are fearlessly profiting by getting us hooked on added sugar, where sugar should be regarded as a dangerous drug.

We don’t want to sustain capitalism's greed.  It is flawed and outdated, and it must pass.  Transition to the new system probably won’t be easy.  This will likely present difficult times at first, which may be likened to birthing pains, where the end result will be an awesome and wonderful creation.

Facebook - Sharing Gmail Emails

Google and Facebook should team up and make it possible to share emails on one's Facebook wall. In fact, it should be more than only Gmail Facebook allowing cross-platform sharing. Facebook needs to team up with all of the most popular email related companies, like HotMail (Outlook.com), Aol Mail, Yahoo! Mail, and Gmail.

Wal-Mart and Getting Beyond Money in Economics

I don't wish to trade numbers on Wal-Mart. In my head, I believe Wal-Mart has too much money, and it is also in my head that it is important to redistribute that money. What we have here is an issue of money plumbing. The pipe leading from Wal-Mart executives out to the real world is clogged. It is time to get the plumber. Believing that money isn’t always in the right hands should be no more difficult than the unfortunate occurrence of a drain clogging.

The issue of unclogging the money drain is to make the economy fit reality. In reality, Wal-Mart has more than its fair share of money, and consequently Wal-Mart executives are not permitted to spend their money by Hashem. Sure they can admire their bank accounts, but Hashem forbids that they spend.

Some suggest that the reason executives don’t spend is due to confidence. They suggest that nervousness or uncertainty is the monkey wrench in the economic machine – imagine that billionaires more uncertain that folks making minimum wage - but their ability to spend has very little to do with confidence, especially in comparison to karma. If Wal-Mart had better karma, then they would be able to spend more of their money.

We need to take the money out of Wal-Mart's hands and do something constructive with it rather than waiting the rest of our lives for Wal-Mart to get some "confidence." Perhaps, the most important thing that we could do with this money is tackle the debt and deficit. We could also use the money to build infrastructure. Therefore, I do not suggest just handing it out to the poor at random though there should likely be some of that too.

Economics and money are 2 separate things. I looked it up in my Webster’s Collegiate Dictionary and found that money was nowhere to be found in the definition of economics.

To believe that one will die without money is a popular lie. It is true that some people may die without money, but it is important to know that money isn’t life sustaining in the way that Gd creates this universe to be sustaining. You could live a wonderful life and have no money because money isn’t always the way of acquiring more stuff. It is only true that if money is demanded by you, then your experience will reciprocate that. If you demand money from others, especially those deserving and who do not have money, then money will be demanded of you at a time when you don’t have the benefit of money.

Belief that money is the solution, and that money is more important than hard work, is as the snake in the Garden of Eden telling us that if we only believe provision comes from money (and not Gd), then we will surly die for lack of money. The snake tries to trick us into selling our labor at a cost. However, I suggest working hard, and hoping in Hashem that everything will take care of itself and goodness will arise from this hard work.

I am not saying that all money is a bad thing. Money may certainly be a powerful and useful tool for good, especially in trade. However, I don't equate increasing money to increasing gain. For instance, I do believe wellness and hard work go together. I don't believe hard work, or even any work results in increased cash flow or that money equates to personal wellness. For me it is all about being well.

Historically, since capitalism has become prominent, the state of the world has drastically improved. This has led many to attribute capitalism to wellness. However, it is not just money that has improved. The world is radically different now from how it used to be, and that may be attributed to various forms of technology as well. However, money is as the training wheels of a bicycle. Sooner or later, the training wheels should come off. And then, once they do it is my hope that it doesn’t result in poverty or increased laziness. On the contrary my goal is that people work hard because working hard is rewarding.

Be Suspicious Muscle Building Promises That Work



!

I am highly suspicious of these sorts of products. I won’t deny their power to morph regular peoples’ bodies into mega-muscle machines. However, I am skeptical about the long term effects. These products aren’t creating natural looking bodies. Granted, there is an obesity epidemic in 1st world nations. However, I must question if men are really intended to look like this.
If having one of these supposed ideal bodies is healthy, how do we explain this:

That's 1 in every 3 wrestlers in only 14 years!!

Facebook Complaint Causes Need for Major Overhaul

Good grief! When will Facebook allow multiple channels so we don't have to miss out on what we like? I want to be able to toggle between animals, music, politics, etc.  Sometimes I might want to shuffle or randomize my channels.  This is not new technology.  Randomization has been a part of music players since the shuffle button was invented, and then they probably borrowed that idea from something earlier, like the lottery.

Facebook SHOULD STOP TRYING TO FIGURE OUT A SINGLE INTEREST FOR ME, and recognize that its customers', such as yours truly, likely have many interests, especially interests that are not being catered to!

We are frustrated with Facebook!

The solution is to make Facebook.com similar to Pandora.com, asking customers how we want our feeds grouped.  Let us switch between user tailored preferences.  For each like I have in a particular group, ask me if I favor this sort of material in my feed, not whether I "like" it or not.

I don't like horrors, yet I feel some things in the news should be reported on that I don't like.  It is a problem for honest people if we don't like horrors, because when Facebook.com sees us not liking it, not matter how horrible it is, they jump to the conclusion that we don't want it in our feeds.  Rubbish! 

This is a complaint that people have had about Facebook since the beginning, and that is Facebook is telling its users what they like according to Facebook's idealistic grouping, and not serving its customers.

Dear Facebook, please put me in control of my feed!

The Problem of Oligarchy to the USA

Small businesses should be able to compete with big businesses. They have been unable to for some time. Big businesses took over the USA economy, such that the system of government is more similar to as oligarchy than a democracy. An oligarchy is a small group of people that make all the decisions in the country. I propose that the USA oligarchy has far too much power in Washington.


The USA oligarchy has an inordinate amount of power, and we will see this in the next election, as media is always slanted. The lobbyists in Washington of this oligarchy essentially have the power to control legislation through monetary influence, and it has the power to correct the many trillions of dollar debt in a short time, but it is not doing so, no thanks to the legislature.


It is not that I say, "If you are rich, then you are a bad person." Many wealthy individuals are good people. However, this wealth has the potential for abuses, such as how the Koch brothers are trying to buy the legislature.


The USA oligarchy to which I refer largely consists of those companies in the Fortune 500. In fact, this oligarchy probably has the power to make President Barrack Obama popular or unpopular based upon its whims.


Who can know the extent of Wal-Mart’s power, and companies like it? Right now, it is a guessing game, but there are those, such as Bernie Sanders, that report this power is far too great and are angry because of it.


Who then should pay most of the taxes? I suggest that the businesses in power, particularly the Fortune 1,000 should pay virtually all of the taxes. This is a radical reform, but they are the ones that hold the money, and they are the ones who dominate. It takes big government to protect big business, so we should turn to the people who the government does the most for. That is only fair.

I don’t know why the Rebbe never got to meet Moshiach.

The Rebbe was as Moses to the Jews.  Moses in his righteousness never made it to the Promised Land, and the Rebbe of righteous memory never got to meet Moshiach.  Somehow, these two leaders both beloved, and both whom changed the course of history forever, died in the exile of idealism.  Noah was different.  Noah pled for no person, and Noah got to see the promised clean world.  Had Noah pled for anyone, he would have probably been Moshiach.  Noah had no nation, while differently Moses is the focal point of all that is Jewish in Judaism.  Had Moses loved other nations as much as the Jews, he probably would have been Moshiach.  With that in mind, perhaps the people in the Messianic age will find a version of living that is nationalism lite.  I specifically like www.chabad.org because it teaches nationalism lite.

Disproportionate Body Count, but Israel Is Not Overreacting to Hamas

Israel is not overeating to Hamas rockets, or the cold blooded murder that started the current military campaign.  The hypocrisy of the nations really bothers me with respect to the Israeli and Palestinian conflict.  In war, no sane nation ever hopes for equal body counts on either side, yet for many Jew haters they complain that the body count lopsided  Any country that wants to survive would use disproportionate use of force to stop a conflict.  For example, if Cape Cod, where I live, was shooting rockets Boston, we could expect that Boston wouldn’t stop retaliating until the rockets were no longer being launched.

Connectedness

 Many ideas people have occur at the same time or in close proximity.  Perhaps, this suggests a collective conscience.  For instance, Alexander Graham Bell is credited for patenting the telephone, but at the about same time he applied a German, Johann Philipp Reis, also applied for the same patent.  It was such a short period of time that perhaps the German may have received the patent if perhaps he spent less time warming his lunch, or his wife hadn’t nagged him to take out the garbage sooner rather than later.  Who was first?  And, more importantly; does it matter?  I understand that patents and ideas are very important to business, yet it seems absurd to give a financial monopoly to an inventor, when it was really two or more that had the idea at the same time.  These sorts of things end up in courts, but when it comes to who is first, I wonder if there is usually or even occasionally justice.

New Jews, Babies, and The Making of a Universe: Creations made via expansion, contraction, and essence.

Via expansions and contractions experienced as push and pull with Jewish study material, a potential convert gains Jewishness although the memories, former essence, remain of the time prior to the ceremonial mikveh bath, where upon becoming new Jew the past is seen with a different lens of Jewish essence.  Differently, those that are born Jewish are already born of the Jewish mindset.  Thus, those born already Jewish experience a natural push and pull because they experienced cosmic vibrations that cause Jewishness in the womb.
This pattern of expansions and contractions that yield essence is a common theme in Judaism.  Another example might be that, via expansions and contractions, we are born from our mother, yet the parental DNA, likeness to our parents, remains as traceable essence.  A third example is that via expansions and contractions, tzimtzumim, Gd created the universe forever leaving His Hebrew essence, the Holy language, among all of His creation.tion.

Boston Sox and Secrets of Better MLB Teams – Surrounded With Baseball League Fanatics

The city of Boston is closely surrounded with Boston Red Sox minor league affiliated teams. North, West, and South are covered, and to the East is the Atlantic Ocean. We’ve got 3 of the 4 directions covered. That is about as well covered as is possible. And, we have been winning. I believe that a part of that winning has to do with the expansive area that may call the Boston Red Sox their home team.

Boston has a lot going for it, especially what I am calling the secret to winning at baseball, meaning creating loyal baseball fans at high density. Though technically not a really big city; Boston population density is found in the metropolitan coastal areas. This is a part of developing the attention of the metropolitan Boston area, making for crazy crazed baseball fans.

To the southwest, of course we have the Pawtucket Red Sox who are affiliated with the Boston Red Sox, playing at the AAA level. The Pawtucket Red Sox seem to do no wrong, winning their division probably more frequently than any other team.

I can’t stress enough that Cape Cod, southeast of Boston, is home to the Cape Cod Baseball League, which although not directly Boston Red Sox affiliated, this area makes for a strong attention for the pros. Cape League fans are also usually Boston Red Sox fans. The Red Sox grow young fans at these games, where it is often possible to win tickets to Boston Red Sox games. In fact, what actually got me hooked on Pawtucket was winning a raffle prize of seats at McCoy Stadium, while at a Cape Cod Baseball League game.

Moving on, we have to the north of Boston the Boston Red Sox affiliated Portland Sea Dogs who play at AA level in the small city of Portland Maine. Thus, we draw the attention to the Boston Sox through offering a place to see Boston related baseball games. Here to the north.

Last and least, to the northwest we have the Boston Red Sox affiliated Lowell Spinners, of Lowell, MA, playing at the Short Season A Level in the New York-Penn League, albeit this is the weakest connection though it should not be overlooked.

So, there it is! The secret has been revealed. It is to create baseball culture within a high population density city, metropolitan and suburbs areas.

It is scarcely believable years’ back that the Red Sox could win a world series, and Boston is winning regularly now from a the prospective of a Curse of the Bambino years’ fan. Not every year, but comparatively the Red Sox have been winning a lot. It was only a matter of time before this fan network was built.

DBT (Dialectical Behavioral Therapy) and Faith

In study of “Dialectical Behavioral Therapy,” I find that DBT is relevant to faithfulness.  DBT understands that our mind is a product of reason and emotions.  Where reason and emotions overlap, there is wisdom to be found.

Faith that comes from the gut, loving-kindness, causes our hearts to ache for those without faith, as victory comes to those with faith.

Faith may also be rational, connecting to the Mind.  Faith helps explain why some live blessed and why some don’t.  Undersized, malnourished children, with bellies full of worms, AIDS, and malaria; such persons are charged with having to respect their ancestors, even though their ancestors are to blame.  Torah explains this horror.

Yet, my reality is such that when I experience something good, I give thanks.  I thank Gd for not making me like the other man.  Time, reason, tells me my reality will unfold according to Hashem’s blessings, because as though I am puffed up, the righteous will live by my kind of faith (Habakkuk 2:4), both Jew and gentile.

MLB Connecticut Team: Can Someone in All Creation Tell Me Why on Earth Such a Team Does Not Exist?

Capitalism relies on the idea that people will want to have money to spend in order to make more money. For some reason Connecticut has no Major League Baseball team, and yet they are far from the New York Yankees, and the Mets, as well as from the Boston Red Sox. I have no explanation for this, and I am completely baffled. I would have figured that by now some investor would have broken ground for a baseball stadium in Connecticut.

I am completely aware that many teams are experiencing financial difficulties, but I am pretty sure that Connecticut is fairing the weather of the financial turmoil of our nation better than most states.  The exaction of a Connecticut team remains a mystery to me.

Where should they put the team? I would say in rural Connecticut between cities so that there could be a draw from multiple cities from Connecticut, as this state in some ways often seems like an extension of NYC though there are breaks in the population density.  Putting the stadium in rural Connecticut is good for another reason, and that is that the land is most likely to be cheaper there than in the small cities located along I-95.

We could expect to see some draw from places like Providence Rhode Island, which is already a haven for minor league teams such as the Pawtucket Red Sox, and the hockey team the Providence Bruins.  This idea may even draw some fans away from mega-teams like the Boston Red Sox, the NYC Yankees, and Mets although I expect that this may also fortify folks’ interest in sports in these areas.

This Connecticut MLB idea also relies on that not all people are willing to put in any effort to see a minor league game mostly because some people are stuck up and nothing less than the major leagues will due. Fielding a team for Connecticut would certainly fill this niche, and probably do wonders Connecticut’s local economy.

Alternative Use of The Military to Provide Discipline

I am just going to throw this out there for brainstorming. How about we stop flooding our prisons with drug related criminals and start sending these dopes to boot camp, but not giving them access to weapons? We need to give them discipline not punishment.  Prison generally only makes criminals worse.  It is proven ineffective as a correctional means via high recidivism rates.

Also, the answer to some of our problems is to give the little guy a chance to get some discipline in the military, while having special forces being the key to our military. Both missions to Iraq and Afganistan could have been accomplished via special forces.

Federal Debt Fun With Math...Anyone Got A Clue What The Answer Is?

Fun facts and mathematics: How many million dollar bills would we have to print to pay of a trillion dollars of the multi-trillion dollar federal debt?

A trillion is 1,000,000,000,000,000

A million is 1,000,000

Therefore it would take millions of million dollar bills to pay of the federal debt, but that doesn't directly answer the question.

I don't expect anyone to answer because it probably doesn't matter anyway.

Marriage Is Not About Two Halves Making A Whole

There must be some sort of error when translating that two halves make a whole is how marriage comes about, as is described in Cabala.  How about two wholes come together in a way that is mystically higher than if they were separate?  As, what about people that are adults whom have decided to go to rehab in order to put their life back together?  Many good counselors implore to their patients that before they find a romantic relationship, first they must improve their condition.  They are not yet half even, if marital partners may be considered halves!  Are these people in recovery mere quarters or fifths?  Certainly, we don’t call this person a quarter, or a fifth!  Also, Leah, Jacob’s wife was a wife in full to Jacob, assisting him, perhaps more than his loved wife in casting his seed to fruition.  As far as I know, the idea of rehab is somewhat new in history, and that its newness is probably reason for the translational error.

Cain and Abel; The First Ghost Story, and Its In The Bible!

Who believes in ghosts? And, I am not just talking demons here. I mean ghosts of people that haunt certain areas. Yes, I am talking about the ghosts that are in popular television shows like Ghost Hunters. Who believes in Torah, The Bible?

Up until now, I would guess that very few people believe in both, but in reality the Bible believer should believe in ghosts based upon what is written in the Bible.

In fact, I used to be unsure, but now I am certain in believing that Torah supports the idea that ghosts of humans are real and do exist. Believing in ghosts is supported by the Bible. Surprisingly, I was never sure about it until I found that many ghost stories talk about the haunting of a certain place where someone was murdered. This is where the Biblical story of Cain and Abel comes in.

Many people know of the story of Cain and Abel in the Bible. It is probably the most popular biblical story behind the creation story, and the story of how sin entered the world through Adam and Eve.

In the story of Cain and Abel, both are brothers, and Cain slays Abel. Then, God says to Cain, "Hark! Your brother's blood calls to me from the ground. (Genesis 4:10)" I believe that ghosts are people who have been slain such that their blood calls from the ground.

I believe in the Exodus while science currently does not.

What if something came to light that said that in fact that the Exodus is true? Wouldn’t you feel terrible for having missed out on the Hashem’s truth? Perhaps, science is making a mistake with the dating methods, as we know them. Reason mandates that we can’t really know from dating things for a few years, that things have held stable over millions of years. Sure that is what scientists think now, but the final chapter in science is yet to be written. We have only been using carbon dating for about 60 years! To base our entire cosmogony of millions and billions of years of formation on 60yrs worth of data, as many scientists tell us to do is too audacious. Who knows? maybe given another hundred years of carbon dating on earth, we may have to come up with some sort of correctional constant, and what is to say that 200yrs from now we won’t come up with yet another correction, and so on.  Perhaps, we should give this radioactive dating thing a million years or more of testing before we bet that the Torah is a lie.

Explaining God To Child And A Scientist

When we are about to say that there is a G-d to our children, perhaps, it would be wise to show up with a pair of dice.  Ask the child to roll the dice.  Then, ask them if they think this could create the entire universe in all its complexity as we know it.  That there is a Gd is something any child should be able realize.  It amazes me that so many scientists are atheists.  However, I realize the reasons why scientists usually don't believe, and it isn't the issue with the dice; it is the idea that the world is not humane and could not have been created by a loving G-d, yet scientists usually stop there.  We religionists need to prod scientists further into reading about the blessings and curses in Torah.  G-d has clearly told us that though he wants us to behave, we get to choose, and we can incur the curse of G&d for multiple generations, just as we may incur the blessing for many generations.

Joining The Minority Among Science Researchers: Thinking Outside The Box

It is too early for science to be so bold in its claims with respect to carbon and radioactive dating, which the Rebbe explains in his letter, “The Age of The Universe.” As I once wrote, we don’t have a working Theory of Everything in science. We don’t know how oxidative stresses such as corrosion may interact with many of the current various means for dating the universe. When I read the about the Exodus, I think that it is a sign of maturity to not just discard the story in favor of science. Remember Proverbs, “Fools rush in.” It is better to try to be creative, and to ponder ways science and the Bible might both be true. Perhaps, due to corrosion the Exodus was recorded in the fossil record, in a way that has baffled scientists. Outside of radioactive and carbon dating, the fossil record show two mass exoduses from Africa, but as you know the dates don’t match given our present understanding of science. Yet, it is too far of a leap to say that the dates do not match at all.

On $300,000 a Year Salary Caps to Level the Economic Playing Field

I don’t hate people who succeed. By all means, succeed, everyone should for success, but if only the rich are successful, then we haven’t achieved maximum success. When people who work for the rich are also as happy as the rich that means a greater happiness has been achieved. If we leave behind that deserve more, it causes a ripple effect, magnifying unhappiness throughout the nation, and world. I understand that riches don’t always equate to happiness, but when families don’t have enough money, it ends up putting stress on them, and often breaks them up. Truly, money must be coordinated with happiness at least a little. Rich people can suffer from depression. And, I am aware that all the money in the world can’t buy happiness. Additionally, I am not for raising the minimum wage. However, in order to make the wealth redistribution happen, it would require effort on the part of the state to ensure that nobody is making more than $300,000 a year.

The big question some may have is: Why?

I believe that there is nothing any human being should be able to do and to earn more than $300,000 a year for it. Hopefully, demand alone would then change the scale of our economy and prevent the devaluation of the dollar. Really, bread should cost 5 cents a loaf. The higher prices get, the more people can’t do the necessary math, such that I am trying to prevent people from being sloppy with money.

For leveling the financial playing field, I do not want to be accused of jealousy. Naturally, some will be able to make more than others, and naturally some will be able to spend more wisely than others. This does not bother me. I am not jealous of how much money the rich have. For all I know, I may be rich in my generation simply because my family has no unpaid debts.

What bothers me is the greed of the oligarchy of capitalists. A part of the reason I believe that the $300,000 rule is good is because it will take the wind out of the sails of the greedy. People should work because they want to work, out of zest for their career, and not for the sake of earning more money. I was told, “Go to school for education, not for the money you might get.” It will make room for smaller companies that currently aren’t able to crack into the terse economic crust, giving them a chance. Truly, this oligarchy has prevented the fruition of some really good business ideas.

What I have is not envy of the rich. It is altruistic desire. Envy is far closer to covetousness than plain old desire. And, my desire is altruistic as I have no business in mind that I want to start, only wishing to level the playing field in order that competition should be fair for aspiring entrepreneurs. As far as the self and selflessness debate goes, I do believe that there can be self in altruism. For example, sometimes it is wise to conserve one’s own self, such that he or she will be able to give more at a later date.

Marijuana

The greatest challenge to the world's future is marijuana. Rabbi, we talk of schools as what separates Judaism as a movement. Marijuana undo's education, lowers IQ and damages young developing minds among many other things that are cited in a .gov article on the web. I am very afraid of this plant because its users can see nothing wrong with it, which is probably a combination of addiction and poor judgement. As I write this, more young adults smoke this kind of dope than cigarettes, and they are also proving themselves unable to do necessities, such keep a job. This drug, and the poor judgment caused by it which leads others to harder drugs is in my opinion the holocaust of this generation. I consider it very fearful because I believe that there is nothing more important than the mind. Our large intellectual brains are what makes us special as a species, more than anything else. Look to birds for flight. For speed look to cheetahs. But, for intelligence look to humans.

Life in a Post Capitalist World

If I remember correctly, in high school my teacher taught me how the invention of the assembly line was supposed to revolutionize the idea of capitalism. Things would be made much faster, and by everyone in the assembly line having a small but focused job, there would be extra time for stuff like fun. I don’t think many assembly line workers have free time in mind when they go to work these days.

First of all, assembly lines are usually no longer profitable in America, although we do farm them out oversees to people that we are allowed to pay whatever we want, and there always seems to be takers for these jobs. Let’s look at why? First of all, these workers lack skill sets, so when American Corporations defend the wages they pay overseas they play this card saying offering that we pay them so poorly essentially because we can get away with it. Fast forward to the modern era and now we are closing in on the idea that we don’t need anyone at all, and therefore there is no reason to pay someone anything, because everyone is replaceable.

And, now that I think of that, I don’t agree that people are replaceable just because we can get a machine or another person to do their job based upon a mere whim. A job can be found in Him merely though worship of Him. Yet, that day has yet to fully come, so don’t yet quit your day job. Most people probably like to think they are valuable, and they are, but the difference in today’s world is that their value is not going to be determined by their occupation. Those that accept that people are replaceable are probably going to be the first to say, something like, “Gee! Now that I have realized that I am useless, what can I do now?” For some that thought is pure bliss, for others that thought is a reason for suicide. Unfortunately, some people worship capitalism, as if it was a Gd, and the thought of life without capitalism brings nothing but the greatest sorrow of sorrows.

These are probably the people I least worry about: If you have the knowledge to know you can probably be outpaced by a machine, or someday in the near future, that that is right around the bend, you’ve probably taken some time to entertain yourself spiritually. Possibly, like me, you have gone on the quest to find the one true Gd, or something similar. These will be the types of escapades that will go on more often starting in about year 6,000 on the Orthodox Jewish calendar. This will be the 7th millennium, which in Judaism is known as the age of Moshiach. I like to explain this age as if it were Eden. If you paid it forward and did your good deeds, in the age of Moshiach, there will be no more work for you, although life will be better than just good.

In the Middle Ages and the Dark Ages times were much tougher. Now we have the time to explore the world at our leisure because really, few people need to work more than 40hr weeks, unless they want to. Just as the inventions from 1990 to 2000 where greater in number (and downright amusingness) than we have seen in the entirety of the rest of all other time periods, so too will technology cause us to all be obsolete if we allow ourselves to believe the lies about life in an atheist world.

As we head towards socialized healthcare in America, as well as for places that are more impoverished, such as in Africa through charities such as Heifer International, I think that it is safe to say that we are headed to a world that might be described as being like the Garden of Eden. In my mind, the rules of the universe will remain the same. Live by the golden rule and karma, and chances are that somehow you will come out on top.

If I had to refute the late Christopher Hitchens, then I would say, “Live a life of superstition because I can guarantee you that doing good deeds is the best way to choose no matter how superstitious it may seem.” Ozzy Osbourne was spot on in his song, “I don’t know,” in which he rather ironically claims, “Nobody ever told me, I found out for myself. You got to believe in foolish miracles.” Thus, it is such with reality; if we are able to make peace with our Creator, then indeed He will probably allow us a share of life in a peaceful world for our good deeds. Likewise, I should importantly say, good deeds are not always easy to do. I have spent a good deal of my lifetime trying to communicate over the net the blessings of doing what is moral, and upright. Learning to write didn’t happen in a day, a month, or even a year.

My take home message is to go study, be it books or baseballs, etc., with the aim of making yourself useful, and eventually, though you may crawl and cry, eventually things will work out for Gd. Take for instance the passage in Genesis that Joseph says, “You intended to harm me, but Gd intended it for good to accomplish what is now being done, the saving of many lives.” I guess that makes me a priest of sorts. So, when I go to write, I share what I know for the sake of helping people that I don’t know. In my darkest hour, You were there for me, Gd. You told me of your anger saying, “I am punishing you,” which was as music for my ears because I thought that not only wasn’t there a Gd, but also the Gd I had been told of was a wimp, so I dismissed my knowledge of a wimpy Gd. Gd you were there to accuse me, such that my soul repented out of love for your voice, and I realized that You, Gd, are a vengeful and wrathful Gd. He, Gd, reached out to me, so following that pattern, to imitate His just ways, I reach out to you, in the hope that Eden will be for all of us, from the greatest to the least, and none will be able to say, I am not important, because we can derive that Gd is reasonable because His creation is reasonable, and for His creation to be reasonable, each soul in it must have a share in the World to Come, as each soul has a share from the breath of Gd that came from Him in the creation week of Genesis Chapter 1.

A Spiritual Piggybank

Many people pray, and they find that their prayer gets them nowhere. This does not surprise me, nor does it negate my religion. I won’t say that prayer is important, but I will say that prayer is not a complete perspective. I suggest doing something in addition to prayer.

When we do something for someone else out of charity, while it might be something directly related to the thing you want, it may also be something almost completely unrelated. Showing an interest in others and their doings may be just what we need in order to unlock the gate to the pathway towards Eden. The places we visit on this journey may seem obscure or irregular, but journey onward to the places that Torah takes us on.

Consider this; your good deeds may not pay off immediately. Thus, I suggest thinking of your doings in this world, as is the idea of a spiritual piggy bank. It may take a lot of saving. What if you have a rare disease or a rare problem? With your hard spiritual work, you may have to save up enough spiritual capital to put a doctor through medical school, such that he can help you out of your illness.

G;d gives each of us a mission in this world. This mission becomes clearer as we study. When we study, it is the equivalent of fulfilling all the good deeds of the Torah. In my instance, in my spiritual piggy bank, I had some knowledge of science, but that needed to be unlocked. It was sealed up, until I took the time to study Torah. Once I studied Torah, someone else, my mom, just happened to come across a doctor that could cure me so that my science knowledge need not remain locked up. So, I reached out to G(d and he reached out to me in return, blazing a pathway for my mother to find a cure for me. And, I do admit that it wasn’t a perfect cure, as a still have some problems. However, instead of my problems being to my detriment, they have actually been a blessing for me. This is the way Hashem is able to work his magic in this world.

A spiritual piggybank may have some money in it. But, it must also have good deeds. This is why a Jewish king must not be wealthy. His wealth must come from his spiritual piggy bank that is not of this world in a radical type of way, similar to that of a priest, or a Levite. In Ecclesiastes, King Solomon relates a story about a person who is wealthy, but Gd has forbidden them from enjoying it. This is entirely relative to the idea of a spiritual piggybank, and a proof of it if you believe Tanach is the words of G-d. Money by itself is empty if one can’t enjoy it. This is also the idea of karma, in that there is something spiritual about this world that if we do good things to others, then good things will be done to us in return. Likewise, Leviticus 26 and other parts of Torah relate the blessings of living a righteous life, but that if we don’t do what G&d asks of us then good things happen.

So pay it forward~!~ We all have something to give and a reason for being, or G^d would not permit us to be. G*d is aware of everything in the universe, such that everything in reality is not without purpose. If your spiritual piggy bank seems empty, you may be wrong! Just keep doing good deeds and I believe that if you are able to actually toil in Torah, reading it, even if you are blind and have to learn brail, and observing the ways of the righteous, though things may get worse initially, eventually things will get better for you. Through doing good deeds we must have hope.

Risking a Financial Future That We Can Depend On - Pretend Like We Don't Have a Problem

It used to be that we had a gold standard. Some say that we should go back to that, others say we shouldn’t. I used to fall in the gold standard group, but now I don’t. There just isn’t enough gold around. And, I know that a capitalist system depends on capital, and gold used to largely represent a lot of that capital, while silver dollars and other metals made up the rest of the system. We even got rid of the copper penny. However, such a system can’t last. There just isn’t enough capital money to go around. This is how capitalism works. You either own precious metal or you become dog food.

We are headed in the direction where there is a large amount, a superfluous amount of extra humans. China has tried state run birth control, limiting the size of families, and in the direction we head it looks like other places will follow in the way of China. There will be extra humans, unintentionally poisoning water supplies and food supplies, and it is only because we are proving irresponsible as the leader of all species. As the leader of species, we are failing, and the problem is that there is too much civilized world to natural world. There isn’t room for the other species, as we take up more and more room, and not only that, most of us need not be, most of us aren’t required to make the planet run. There are few essential humans, and if those essentials left, there would probably be people that could take their place. Which begs the question: Why can’t we have a responsible President?

I am about to do a 180 here on my position with respect to President Barrack Obama. When I voted for him the first time around, it was because I thought he as President would get spending under control, and that we would even start to pay back the national debt. That has never happened. When I voted against the President the second time around it was because I thought he was an ineffectual leader, and maybe he is, but maybe that is a good thing.

Thus, I suggest not paying off our federal debt as a possible solution. This is a move to show care for the upbringing of our children, which we don’t desire slavery for. As long as we keep track of the debt, slavery is where our children are headed. So here it is; my radical suggestions.

Don’t look at the money involved.

Pretend like we don’t have a problem.

These things are what the President is doing. We should follow his lead.

Naturally, through overspending, things are going to get harder for some folk. Our money will become less valuable. We will be removing another financial standard that our capitalist system works with and that is okay. The first standards we removed were the relationships of the metallic value of our metal. Now we should remove the credibility of our financial standards even more.

7 Things about me that you may or may not know

1. I was an Electrochemist at the Marine Biological Laboratory in Woods Hole, MA for a few years, and as a result I believe science can be a crooked discipline full of lies and false claims.

2. I have been on 4 missionary trips to La Romana in the Dominican Republic in order to build a hospital for Hatian refugees.

3. I practice Judaism as a religion. However, I am not Jewish nor Christian.

4. I played guitar in an ensemble for the New England Jazz Fest.

5. My former best friend and best man at my wedding is no longer my friend because he mistreated my son. My son was so young he could barely stand, and this monster of a man blew marijuana smoke in his face.

6. I believe that I talked to G-d when I was a student at Rutgers in New Brunswick, and this led me to believe that I am the messiah, but not Gd.

7. I have a diagnosed digestive enzyme disorder that causes me to experience a high on opiates if I consume gluten, milk, or milk products. This disorder may have led some people to think I was shy in high school, but under normal circumstances, meaning when I am not eating these foods and I am taking a digestive enzyme, I am much more able to be outgoing. Also, I have a milk and milk products allergy that if I consume, or sometimes I am just around milk, it causes me to get brain fog.

On the CCRTA: An Example of Extracting Goodness Out of Negativity



I am a firm believer that good things happen to good people; but, how soon do I question my own comfort in that I have lost the favor of God?

The other day I took the bus and because the schedule wasn't clear I ended up missing the bus. I wondered what had I done to merit losing a ride and having to have my wife pick me up. I became angry, but I thought to myself that I am heading down the wrong path, and that instead of counting what is wrong, that I should be counting my blessing and trying to extract the good from this seemingly negative situation. The results started when I contacted the bus company. The management agreed with me that this needed to be fixed, and not only that, they agreed with my suggestion as to the way it should be fixed.

So, through being tactful, and not expressing anger, I was able to offer a potential fix. This fix is a blessing that may help up to 1,000 people or more over the years as the bus system becomes more popular. So, though I was quick to anger with G_d I was also quick to forgive, and Gd brought me even more blessing instead of pain.

I had missed the bus so that many others will not miss the bus. What a blessing to get a chance to change the world for better and for the sake of goodness!

Ethics of the Fathers 5:11 "There are four types of temperaments. One who is easily angered and easily appeased--his virtue cancels his flaw. One whom it is difficult to anger and difficult to appease--his flaw cancels his virtue. One whom it is difficult to anger and is easily appeased, is a chassid. One who is easily angered and is difficult to appease, is wicked."– www.chabad.org

______________________________________________________________________________

The rest of the blog is copies of emails that verify that indeed what had happened was indeed a very positive thing. If nothing else, missing the bus started me on the walk to home, which gave me a considerable work out, benefiting my health.

______________________________________________________________________________

The following is a slightly edited email Posted to the CCRTA (Cape Cod Regional Transit Authority)

To the administrator of the Cape Cod RTA website; this is a complaint about the Bell Tower Mall stop. Reading the website, it is entirely reasonable to think that the bus pulls right into the Bell Tower Mall parking lot. I did not know that the CCRTA bus does not go there, nor is that indicated on the website that the bus does not go there (in the parking lot). Consequently, I missed my bus and had to have my wife come pick me up, totally defeating the purpose of the bus system.

There is an easy fix to this problem. Simply put an asterisk next to the Bell Tower Mall stop entry on the webpage, and at the bottom of the webpage please write, “Bus does not stop in the Bell Tower Mall parking lot and must be flagged down on route 28.” This could have saved me a great deal of time, and will probably be very useful for future customers.

The following was the brilliant response of the RTA to me:

Dear Mr. Hamilton:



Thank you for your email note of earlier today. We always appreciate receiving correspondence from our passengers and public. Immediately after yours arrived today, CCRTA Administrator Tom Cahir, called me into his office to discuss your recommendation. After reviewing your concern and suggestion, we both agreed that putting a footnote in both the web site and Rider’s Guide schedules makes a good deal of sense. Thank you for that suggestion.



When we were constructing the schedules, we attempted to make the stops clear by stating that the stop was on Route 28, and then added the “@” symbol to show where on Route 28 the bus would stop. Looking at the schedule from your perspective, I can see how it could be misinterpreted. The last thing we want to do is be confusing and inconveniencing to our customers. I am sorry that you were unable to board our bus conveniently today. We also do not want anyone else be inadvertently inconvenienced.



Therefore, we would like to use your good suggestion in our next printings of the public Rider’s Guide and on our web site. The footnote idea is a good one and seems to be the most clear. We will work with our staff to make those adjustments.



Again, thank you for taking the time to share your opinions on this. If you have any further questions or thoughts, please feel free to contact me directly.



All the best,



John

What’s In My 100 Disc Changer 2014: Good Stuff in Time for Day After Thanksgiving Christmas Shopping!

Firstly, I may have reviewed a few of these albums already, elsewhere. I find that occasionally, and by accident, I review an album twice, but often both reviews are very similar.  However, the vast majority of these albums are in my 100 disc changer because I plan to review them someday, and of course because I love to listen to them.

These albums are that which is in my player. I can vouch for this: I have already listened to some of each of these albums and each does seem to be quite good.

To be less confusing to those who might be interested in purchasing any of these albums, only the name of the album is given, and not disc 1 or disc 2, even if each separate disc has a name, such that I don’t arrive at the number 100 in the list, as labeling which disc is in my player for multi-disc sets, especially when they aren’t even near each other in the player, is of no assistance to a potential buyer. For instance, with Steven Wilson, though both Grace for Drowning cds are in the player; I do not label each of the Grace for Drowning cds that are in the player, meaning that there is only one entry for Grace for Drowning though the set has 2 discs.

Why I Don’t Like Cannabis

The problem with marijuana is that far more people are interested in smoking it as dope than the other usages of marijuana, which indeed can be good.  Do not delude yourself.  Smoking this kind of dope, marijuana, gives users motivation to find excuses that glorify this plant's usage.  How many people glorify pot who didn’t smoke it first?  My guess is very few.  This drug is at its worst when people’s judgment is so impaired that they can’t see anything wrong with recreational use of pot at any time.  The addiction in people is so strong that they find reasons to justify using this dope, while most dope smokers have never spent even close to the amount of time engaged in the so called positive uses of marijuana other than "getting high," which I believe are many, as most plants are useful, and everything has a purpose, even Satan.  People smoke the stuff, get doped up, and then forget to the motivation to accomplish any of the positive uses of marijuana.  And, when was the last time you heard of someone risking breaking the law to accomplish anything other than getting high on this dope?  If you have, then at least it is rare, and accompanied by recreational use.  The most disgusting aspect of marijuana is that people order their lives around it, glorifying it at virtually all costs.  When users are high then they are happy, but when users aren’t high, then they are planning the next time they are going to smoke their dope or they are promoting its usage either as a drug or trying to justify smoking because it has so many other uses.

MASS Health, ACA, charity, Science Funding, Talmud, NGO, Environment, Zerah, Esau, Freewill, Soul, Jews Have Torah

I come from MA. I know about Mass Health. This is a fact. If you apply for it through any other means than being in person, then whatever papers you have filled out for snail mail are tossed in the trash. Folks don't have the time for stuff like website applications even in my state, which is orders of magnitude smaller than the scale of trying to achieve socialized health care. A much better way to do this has been pointed out by Robert Reich, and that was to extend Medicare to include health for all. In addition, I believe that trying to insure the entire country will be a difficult if not impossible task, especially since it requires more bureaucracy than Mass health, and believe me, it is no easy walk in the park to get health care here. Many providers often complain that Mass Health doesn't pay them, even though it should. Really, the best way do do this would be Medicare and via separating the union with respect to health care as places like New England, Mid-Western, etc.

One thing that I don't get about ACA is why so many folks that comment also can pay out of pocket are more concerned about second tier Americans than third and underclass tiers? I myself pay out of pocket for my psychological care. I would guess anyone who trusts regular health care for psych would be nothing but a disaster, such that out of pocket psychiatrists that do not accept health care is the only way.

Conservatives often give to fund their priests, but that is all. Ever heard of a conservative give no an NGO (Non governmental organization) like Heiffer International? Probably not. I do admit though that the shoebox charity of Christian is quite good. I, myself, have done missionary work in the Dominican Republic doing things like pouring cement to build a hospital. Often I am very suspicious of Christian charities like the Salvation Army because really their assistance is often motivated by Jesus and is not humanistic.  (This is probably more like what Christians are like in the Bible belt. I have evidence that Christians are not like this where I live, Cape Cod)

I don't buy that. I live in Massachusetts, sometimes called the blue-est state. Far fewer people in my state go to church and still far fewer are zealous about their religion here. And, guess what, our water is clean and through legislating charity we have one of the most robust states in the union. Boston has weathered the financial storms of economic demise far better than many other USA cities.

One fact is, if you give many but not all people a sense that Zeus is watching the behavior of men, then, the majority of men will use belief in Zeus as a reason to behave, and they will behave just as well for Zeus as they will for Jesus.

There is ample evidence to suggest that Zeus was Zerah son of Judah, born by Tamar, and brother of Pharez.

If Jesus was the Messiah, then please explain to me why after his coming here life expectancies decreased. Also, that Jesus walked the earth reminds me of a silly old song my mom used to sing, "And, he walks with me and he talks with me and he tells me that l am his own."

Thanks ... for not praying for me. When Christians say that to me (That they are gonna pray for me), I take it as a common passive aggressive cheap-shot.

Exactly, when Isaac blessed Jacob, he gave a lesser blessing to Esau. In the Bible Isaac represents justice. Thank you for at least trying to show some discretion over who and what you pray about. Indeed, you are trying not to caste pearls to swine (why it is written "before" beats me. Its almost like poor English, as if the pearls turn men into swine). It should be, don't caste pearls to swine, if you are concerned with parsimonious English.


Thank you for taking time to address this with me. I am not Christian. I believe that the religion of Judaism is correct though I am not a Jew, meaning I do not have Jewishness that one supposedly gains through ritual conversion.


First, let me address the issue of free will. I do believe G@d knows us, and even controls our destiny to a certain extent, but that we also control our own destiny because we have souls. These souls give us purpose, and individuality. Most Bible's include this in the creation account where G_d say, "And let them rule." "Let" separates our souls from being G-d's automatons. "Them" is plural indicating our individuality. To "Rule" over creation is the purpose of humanity. Also, several times in Torah we read that if we do good things, then eventually good things will happen to us, and that if we do bad things we will eventually fall from grace through the evil of G!d. A couple of time in the histories of the Jewish kings in Tanach G:d is called evil. In addition, G=d is the ruler over Satan, the Angel of Death, and so on. So, because we have souls we can choose to a certain extent how we are to live, and G$d may or may not punish or reward us, according to His perfect wisdom. Thus, as the rule of karma applies, if we do good, then eventually good things will happen to us, and if we do evil eventually G-d is probably going to multiply our afflictions.

I do agree with you that the Christian message is quite muddled. To believers, however, to be a Christian is secretly defined as doing what is morally upstanding, while shunning evil.

I do not have a good answer with respect to radioactive dating and the Bible. So far as I can conceive, there once was a time where humanity became nearly extinct due to an ice age, according to the fossil record. The entire world is thus thought to have been repopulated by 70 individuals, according to science. I believe that Noah's flood was actually due to global warming and thawing a glacier, and that the 70 individuals that scientists say repopulated the world, are the 70 nations of the Bible following the flood.

I believe that it is possible that we have miscalculated the age of the birth of Hebrew. There is ancient Hebrew (no vowels, only consonants), as our human ancestors probably could only speak with consonants (see The Ancestor's Tale by Richard Dawkins), and there is modern Hebrew, which of course has vowels. Modern Hebrew was created through isolating a child in Jewish culture, and deigning the words he came up as Hebrew. Please keep in mind that no one had spoken perhaps middle Hebrew or Ancient Hebrew for roughly 2,000 years before Modern Hebrew was created. Talmud and Torah through the Middle Ages etc were studied in the vernacular, but the Hebrew was only read, not spoken. This is one reason I believe Hebrew is very similar to old French according to Rashi, meaning that Rashi had adopted old French into a Hebrew creole. Rashi is best known for writing what is often called the most important commentary on the Torah.

Forgive me if I am in error in the delivery, but if I can remember correctly, reconciliation of the modern dating system science is possible through Torah. Observing the dates of the Bible, I was able to conclude that through taking Torah (non-Tanach {I think it was}) dates and connecting them with modern dates, I was able to come to an interesting conclusion with respect to the Hebrew word “Yom,” which can mean either day or age. This word “yom” is also used in the creation story, which is why some folks believe in the Day-Age Theory. At the time of the flood, G-d numbered Noah’s years, saying that man’s days are numbered 120. If you factor in Torah one of the years of a person’s life is actually 120 years of our time because of this verse, then we are accurately able to date the time of near human extinction in the fossil record in Torah. In addition, the fossil record contains 2 departures from Africa, one being that of Abraham, the other being that of the Israelites fleeing Pharaoh. Using this system, it is also possible to conclude that the Canaanites were the Neanderthals, and that for some of us our ancestors intermarried with them, as we have their DNA. There is definitely fossil record of Neanderthals in Israel, which is the land of Canaan. Additionally, I am fairly certain that while all know white people have Neanderthal DNA, it is the Jews that are Jewish via lineage that have the highest concentrations of Neanderthal DNA.

This raises an interesting question, which you, yourself, posed. Why the hell is everything with respect to the Bible so muddled, be it any religion, as though I like Judaism on paper, I still think people are people? For one, Paul and the Talmud are correct on one thing, that the Jews have Torah. However, that is not to state that the Jews fully comprehend Torah. That is, G-d gave the Torah to the Jews in a state, very similar to the way the Jews are now, and not all comprehend this Torah though many of the Jews wrestle with it in their life, and indeed some go on to become Rabbis and probably fewer become students of these Rabbis.

One conclusion is that each name of every person in Torah, or at least Genesis is actually a tribe, and not a single person.

I resent that about donating other people's money. i do give money to charity, and I am a charity case. The Bible says that the poor should not be so impoverished that they are unable to give back, and that describes my situation. There, in the play by play I did charitable a good deed by letting you know that. I used to be an electrochemist several years back, and having mental illness even I could see that I would cost tax payers less on SSI, not to be confused with SSDI, if I just take a check and stop doing science. Plenty is already known in science and people need to put that to use and not just publish paper after paper. The system is archaic. Science is supposed to be repeatable, but recorded written and moderated commentary on articles isn't done, especially since terabyte drives are commonly available. The Jews have been doing this since the Dark Ages through Talmud. Science isn't all that grand and it costs a lot of money, so I decided not to add to the problem, and see what I could do that might benefit people in the form of charity.
