National Treasure Cool movie

Some of my thoughts:

#1) No actual masonic ritual was harmed in the making of this film. While that's good and all ;-) something could have been slipped under there for personal amusementory factor
#2)The treasure finders fee-Largely unessecary, and i'd guess a extra feel good ad on
#3) The Decleration of independence wasn't signed on July 4th.. and iirc the decleration on display wasn't the original
#4)The archivist chick was an ultra hottie
#5) John Voight ends up having two kids who are treasure hunters.. he really needs to work on his parenting skills.

the audience cheered the following phrase "Don't Panic"

so m0re good movies are coming.. as is the pain of "the pacifier"

National Treasure is a nice action film, that i could take 8 years old kids to

this better not delay civ IV

Struggling publisher Infogrames nets $22.3 million by selling its

powerhouse strategy franchise to an as-yet-unidentified company.



In Paris this morning, Infogrames, owner of Atari and publisher of the

top-selling RollerCoaster Tycoon 3 and just-released Sid Meier's

Pirates!, released the earnings report for the first half of its 2005

financial year, which ended September 30.



However, tucked into the report was a bombshell: the company has sold

off the rights to Civilization, one of the most successful and

critically acclaimed strategy series of all time. Although Activision

briefly held the license in 1999, releasing the widely derided

Civilization: Call to Power, Infogrames subsidiary Atari had been

publishing the series--and its numerous expansion packs--since 1996's

Civilization II, and it had announced that Civilzation IV was in

development last year.

No Religious-Themed Decorations Allowed At Old Court House
By S. L. FRISBIE, IV, Publisher

There will be no religious-themed Christmas decorations at the old Polk
County court house this year.

Not Christian.

Not Jewish.

Not Muslim.

Not Wiccan.

Not Snake-Worshipers.

The newly-reconstituted county commission, with two new members taking
part in their first meeting, responded with silence when Commissioner
Randy Wilkinson moved to allow "a holiday display" in which "we can
recognize faiths."

In October, Wilkinson proposed a Christmas display in which symbols of
Christianity, Judaism and Islam would be included. That brought a sharp
rejoinder from then-Commissioner Don Gifford, who objected to display of
Muslim symbols.

"When people blow up our buildings, I'm not putting those symbols up
there," Gifford said at the commission's Oct. 6 meeting.

Rather than decide the question at that meeting, commissioners chose to
wait until the Nov. 16 meeting, at which Commissioners Sam Johnson and
Bob English were sworn in, taking the places of Neil Combee and Gifford.

At Tuesday's meeting, Abdurrahim Al-Khatib of Winter Haven, a chaplain
at the Polk Correctional Institution, said he was disturbed by Gifford's
remarks.

"I'm not a terrorist; I did not blow up a building," he said.

"If we allow one display," Commission Chm. Jack Myers suggested, the
county would have to allow "everything from witchcraft to
snake-worshippers." He said the county should not allow any decorations
with a religious theme.

"People should celebrate in their own way with their family and
friends," he added.

Wilkinson then offered his motion to allow a multi-faith display. After
a few seconds of silence, Myers ruled it dead for lack of a second.

Sweet Christmas

With the Holidays approaching, and Christo- phobia running wild I thing I want to take some time and establish why I am not a Jesus person, and my problem with a number of Christians I have actually talked to about this. I am going to be dismissive about the Christian coalition and their ilk as a matter of political reality, and I will be attacking folks who are paranoid about them.

Most of these folks who are paranoid about it, have some deep seated issue with the church, or their parents. My mom and her mothers restrictive following of the church of Christ ( people who kicked pat boone out for gawd sakes). And anyone who has been in neopagan/ wiccan circles know these people all to well… but for me to say “these people hate republicans, because they have parent issues” my credibility is suspect unless I lay out my full Monty on Christianity myself.

The problems I have are theological, and not problems I intend to bore you with nitpicks from the bible. If I see people replying then I will toss out the verses at you but I am arguing here more on the presentation here. The problem is an issue of salvation really for me.

The problem I have with the theology is a logical conflict. Jesus is the son of ( and Is) the Abrahamic deity. If Jesus and his theology conflict with that earlier theology, then Either the Jewish story is untrue ( and by extension Jesus is untrue because the Jewish story is required for Jesus to work) or Jesus himself is untrue.

Under the Hebrew’s system Non Jews were as beloved as Jews to their creator, but the Jews were assigned a special task in his grand design. Hashem laid out 7 rules for the gentile and 650+ for the Jew that was to last for an eternity. But if faith in Christ (the John Gospel doctrine) is the key to salvation then we gots our self a problem that needs to get fixed.

Now, modern Christianity could be playing a fast one here but if that’s a case then modern Christianity is basing its faith on a shakedown. But my own studies have shown me little down that Christianity sells a “sole salvation” theology. But, the problems are more then just how one gets to the best afterlife possible. Cause when god made the rules for the Gentiles (the lines of NOAH) and the Jews (Abraham, and later all the multitudes at Sinai) he laid those out to everyone. With Jesus… Jesus didn’t make it clear to everyone (as with the prior to examples) “I am the lord thy god”. So in addition to the inconsistent performance from the man who is deity to the Christians, we have god changing the rules ( but only telling a small group) that he said were eternal. (yes I know Jesus said I came not to end the law but to fulfill it, so let me ask you a question. If you were to fulfill the law of speed limits, would that mean no one has to worry about the speeding tickets? The laws are ya know, the rules. One person can’t just come down and say “screw it I’m changing the rules). So if he could change the rules as Christians are want to proclaim, and if he is without time ( as the Christians also teach) then god lied about his laws being eternal.

But I know what your thinking “mistranslation” but by that same token we then have to say “So, your telling me the Hebrews were right until they disagree with you…. That’s a little bit convenient don’t you think?” We then get into the fact of how Jewish prophecy works. If under Jewish prophecy a person was supposed to do X, if they fail to do 100% of X then the prophecy was not met in any way shape or form. There is no do over (i.e. the second coming). Jesus not only failed to do the job of the Messiah (I don’t see any world peace and utopia do you?) he also was not of a messianic lineage.

So, the founding salvation theology was unnecessary, Jesus wasn’t the heroic role he was and is claimed by his backers (if you go with the Jewish side of the story) so what does that leave us with? A guy whom wasn’t the messiah preaching a lot of stuff some of which is good and some of which is bad.

I find moral guidance from things like Yoda but I don’t prostrate myself to him… for worship Jesus needed to work a bit harder to get it done, and he just didn’t.

Why the Holidays Suck:

Ya know, the thing I hate most about holidays is sharing them with family. And by family I don’t mean; your brothers, your sisters, or your parents. No by family I mean the people who are connected to you by much weaker ties; cousins, aunts and uncles, and people who are like family but are not an actual blood relation. These people are what make the holidays a little more horrid. They aren’t relatives that your required to be nice to, nor are they people you would normally choose to hang around with.

This thanksgiving it was my mother’s friend Randy who took me to that special place. While Randy is a good enough guy to whom I have received a variety of medicinal cares from ( and will be receiving some acupuncture this weekend I think.. or from his new mentor/guru Dr. Lee). Randy has two things that ReALLY annoy me.

#1) The Chris Rock Principle: “Have some new $h! * happen to you. Randy tells several stories, like what happened when a bunch of Samoan heathens solidly duped the Mormon Church into taking them into Utah. Fun story, I find it amusing... but lets tell another one.

And

#2) He is a moonbat. I mean he is a few nuts shy of being a granola man, by the events of chance he didn’t end up being a surfer or a ski head, randy is one of those people who is totally out there. He has embraced this whole “wisdom of the east yet strangely hippie lifestyle” and he has of course embraced the entire volume of whack job hippie conspiracy lingo. I at one time would engage him in it, but on holidays I find such a task kinda wrong.

But as I hear him spout off his nuttery I wonder if his being a foster kid, then later adopted by a Mormon family lead by a prominent Mormon out in Utah/child molester out in Utah might have had something to do with it. The fact he later ended up with his mother who was only slightly more stable could be another thing. He married this part Persian and part French woman who leaves him with her kids every six weeks while she spends a few weeks in Paris. Randy drifts to nursing jobs in other parts of the country and lives out in the woods on his “vacation”. His poor kids in addition to enduring this have also had to spend a year in France, where upon their return they had to suck up a lot of remediation (but remember folks the French have a better school system then we do.. right)

I hear him talk about how horrible the French Soviet Socialist Republic was, then hear him advocate socialism which he will admit doesn’t work

I spent a decent click of time avoiding his attempts to use the Meme of “The religious right is taking over the country” and how “religious extremists are trying to take over” and other things the moonbat worldview fears here, but tolerates everywhere else. I could have attacked this point in a mean way, or in a nice way but I choose to let him foam in his moonbattery while I ate turkey and the stuffing.

What i am thankful for

#1) they haven't fired me for being less then a 100% ( or 75%) employee at work
#2) that school is going well
#3) that my life in general is ticking along as i plan it

Song 12:3 (Yasna 47:3)

Of this mind You are THE promoting
Which to him the joy-bringing world fashioned.
Then for him for the settlement You gave peace, serenity
Because he, O Mazda, consulted good mind.

You are the promoter of this mentality
which created the joy-bringing world for him,
and have granted peace and serenity for his settlement,
because, Wise One, he had consulted good mind.

You Are a "Don't Tread On Me" Libertarian

You distrust the government, are fiercely independent, and don't belong in either party. Religion and politics should never mix, in your opinion... and you feel opressed by both. You don't want the government to cramp your self made style. Or anyone else's for that matter. You're proud to say that you're pro-choice on absolutely everything!

What political persuasion are you?

mmmmmmmmmm Stuffing

You Are the Stuffing

You're complicated and complex, yet all your pieces fit together. People miss you if you're gone - but they're not sure why.

Changing of faith, and thankfullness to society

I discovered the other day that I am not a constitutional absolutist, though I am still absolute in my feeling that we should try to stand to our constitution and abide by its highest standards…. I realize that we cannot take these principles as absolutes. I was listening to the Savage Nation, as I am often known to do on my way home from school and listening to a man say that you can say and promote anything from the pulpit. That we cannot judge right or wrong; the call to kill women and children, calling people of other faith’s the decedents of pigs and monkeys, and calling to war with their societies. I realized I do not believe that those things are right, or even protected under our constitution.

When the same men who fund terrorists, and a “civil rights group” protesting the “terrorist” stereotype also are the ones who fund the mosque we find ourselves with a 5th (typed on my IBM selectric) column, or an enemy within. The State needs to exist for all that happy capitalism we all enjoy, as well as the sense of the freedom of the individual and the sense of self-actualization that makes it all work. Now am I saying we need censors in the church, monitoring it for its danger to the state. No, no I don’t, but I do think when people try to use their freedom of religion to try to destroy the social harmony of the state (Murder, bombings, acts of terrorism, etc.) Then I think the state has not only the right, but also the duty, to bring down the full right of its fury and vengeance upon the people doing it.

But the barbarians using our state’s love of faith to destroy our very social fabric are not the only problems we have that have brought me to this realization. The nutty school out in the nutty state of “Kalifornia” (as it’s “President” would say) has also taken the first amendment to far into the land of utter stupidity. The Declaration of Independence is a unique historical document (preceded only by like minded documents in the Dutch republic, and in Scotland which was the model for the declaration). As the US Declaration of Independence became the model for the Declaration of the rights of man in France, and many other societies down the road it has a great historical impact that is important. Just as we cannot declare the writings of Bill Shakespeare unconstitutional neither can we declare the US Declaration of independence unconstitutional in a context of a class on American history. And even the issues of god in it are against the social mores as interpreted by some, that sense of conflict becomes even more valid fodder for our school children.

Queen Elizabeth I forbade the topic of Politics and Religion from our theater, and while she had a valid political reason for it at the time the ethic that has now extended into every society sewn with a seed from her has a big flaw. People hate that which they do not understand. This has been the case going back into time before we have recorded history. So for politics and religion to go outside the realm of hate it must go into the realm of knowledge. And the first step to get it there is people must accept, not tolerate, but accept the fact that people will disagree with them. That not only will people disagree with them on these fundamental ideas, but also they can disagree with them and still be good people that they very often like. When a society cannot talk about such things that are fundamental to the human condition as politics and faith we loose our ability to be a single community and become divided. “Fear leads to hate, hatred leads to suffering, suffering leads to the dark side” as yoda would say.

Faith and spirit are things I understand, but religion itself is a thing that is often an anathema to me. Religion is a thing built by men, a thing that is often as a bride is to her husband. While the western world has divorced its governance from its religion, religion as events have shown us (the Episcopal Church anointing a gay bishop, the Presbyterian Church denouncing Israel, the Christian Coalition, etc.) Religion finds other ways to husband itself with the political events of our times. It is in this sense the words of Marx about “Opiate of the masses” ring most true. The Crusades were never a war for religion in a Macro sense. They had no such urge when a friendlier Islamic overlord allowed Christian pilgrims to travel, and little such urges existed after that point. There were the economic needs of the trade routes, the 4th and 5th sons who did not have sufficient stock of heiresses to supply them. But for any great and important political undertaking a good narrative was necessary and vital.

Because of these political realities the holy books of the holy faiths by and large (with no exceptions in the cases of the major religions of the day) created religious justifications for all manner of human barbarity. They created all manner of justification for things that ensured positive public health in their day, but they have fewer relevancies today. Most reasonable people have recognized these facts for what they are and lived a modern life. People at a level almost unseen to their own minds accept this fact “religion is a product of men, not the perfection of god.” While religion often tries to get it right and be a flawed temple, shining and seeming as if it was forged from a single stone by no hand less then the grand architect himself, reasonable people accept that’s not how its going to work out.

The quest for the spirit is if you accept the Christian imagery like those Shepard’s who saw the star in the sky who followed it to the manger in Bethlehem. Like Zarathusa spithuman and Moses alone in the wilderness being called to by god. Like Muhammad receiving the words of the Angel Jibril. That is the nature of the Divine calling man to worship, but man is not a solitary creature and man craves communion. And so instead of following that star or talking to that burning bush we see men going to houses of wood and stone and joining with others in the flawed vessel of religion.

We need as people a sense that not only is there a divine master plan; we also need the certainty that it is the truth. Joining with others, their words buttressing our own gives us that sense of security we crave. Walking in the footsteps of giant men such as Moses and the apostles, and the saints, and the prophets, and the martyrs allows us to walk comfortably along a sure and certain path. We crave the purity, but we hunger for the security. For some of us our quest for truth makes us uncomfortable in those campfires of others, it did me for the longest time. While I cannot say Jesus is lord while in and amongst the Christians, I can honor the spirit of hope in the Easter rituals at their churches, when I am drug to them. And as I feel the warmth of community I often wonder if the sacrifice of the purity of my soul would be worth it for the comforts of their tents in the wilderness. I however cannot do so; I must follow my star, I must listen to my burning bush, I must be attentive to the angel at my ear, for it is who I am. I have no desire to build a temple to what I follow, because I know as a matter of faith from inner reflection and struggle that is not what the divine wants for himself, but what he understands we as people need.

I who am most an outsider however find that people cannot talk about flaws in their religion because their faith is an absolute nay is the foundation of their sense of the divine. If we were to find a crypt that would have the body of a Hebrew born some two thousand years ago who was their god, Christianity would endure it. But yet people cannot accept the flaws in their faith as bugs in the system, but they can accept it in their computer system. Just as a perfect OS is impossible so to is a perfect faith.

Some Jewish voices would say that Christ was not the messiah because even the New Testament shows he failed to meet even the most basic of requirements. To many Christian friends, words of such evidence cannot be spoken. The more polite ones will listen and allow the conversation to drop. While the body of Christ cannot kill the Christian faith, a flaw in the body of the bible would kill it to many Christians. They would feel all that they value and gain from it would be untrue, would be a lie, and worse.

Even those who do not fear that the non-Christian is excised from the Bar of heaven fears this upon their very soul, and makes such talk taboo. This we must break from our minds and our hearts. Just because you hear words that differ, even disagree with your own that does not make your heart false. But to my mind, if your faith falls to a few words to a few flaws crafted by the hand of man, then to my mind it was never really true.

Yet greater is the peril in ideas of politics, greater is the intransigence of people over ideas that stand on less then the divine standard of certainty. Some people argue, and posses data that says that cutting taxes grows the economy. Other people have other data and say it destroys it. But politics is not about codifying the certain, but about codifying the will of a society. The will of god is an unknown thing that we grope nakedly in the dark for but the will of man can by a variety of methods and methodologies become easily known to us. Yet we find ourselves fighting even more vehemently over a matter more uncertain.
Just as with religion there are issues of a theology that must be tackled. I believe in a limited and constitutionally constructed government, as the best way to ensure a lack of tyranny and allow people the freedom to grow as their talent permits. People all over this country (and the world) hold a rather different view on the fundamental nature of government. I also accept that some times the government has to go outside the box of the constitution to ensure the system remains in place. I know that when the reservation is left, it is hard to return the government to it. But that does not in any way diminish the need to do so from time to time. Amongst those who believe in a limited government this idea is even disagreed with. Those who think as I do when laws come to the public forum, and candidates run we make our case for the direction of our democracy we want to go within that framework. Others with wildly differing views may join us or oppose us, and in the end one side holds the collective will of the people and a choice is made.
I do not hold these people are malicious for their views, I only hold tactics (such as fraudulent registration, intimidation, etc) as a sign of malice in their political views. Those who try to cheat and impugn the system of our democracy, just as those who use the pulpit to tear it down must be faced with our scorn and contempt as a people. Those who claim the candidate is illegitimate if they can find any small iota of a flaw in the process are demagogues of the first order. If in the case of the Ukraine there is evidence of massive fraud, then by all means we shall march to the barricades, but if in the case such as Washington state a close election is recounted all more recounts will do is serve to make the system less comforting, less stable, and will serve to benefit no one but the demagogue who launches this fight. In 2000 we saw in Florida Fraud, this fraud was not monopolized by any one side; in counts and recounts things were tweaked, massive double voters, military ballots thrown out, minority party ballots being thrown out illegally, and many other problems. But the rules of the system were followed, and despite the flaws under the rules a candidate won. The courts tried to nullify the rules under a most dangerous precedent and both the precedent and the rules were affirmed in an unpleasant manner. Had the sins of old, with dogs and hoses and arrests occurred we might have something but that was not how things ended up going down.
The Ballot box and the Pulpit are fundamental to what we are as Americans, and are fundamental to the first amendment of our constitution. But for both things to be fundamental we need a society. So in this sense I comfort myself with my growing away further from the constitutionalism and libertarianism of my youth as my ideas are entering more and more the mainstream of American political thought.

a moment of zen

When Moses conversed with God, he asked, "Lord, where shall I seek You?"

God answered, "Among the brokenhearted."

Moses continued, "But, Lord, no heart could be more despairing than mine."

And God replied, "Then I am where you are."

A good idea on Slate.....~!

*The New 'New Property':* In /Slate/'s just concluded welfare dialogue , there was one obvious solution to the dilemma of hard-working single mothers who don't make more than $18,000 a year: Give them training so they can earn more. I had assumed, without really knowing, that individual job training "accounts" must be part of President Bush's high-concept "ownership society." They certainly/ should /be. The government spends billions on job training, after all. Some programs work. Some don't. Why not trust the workers themselves to figure out which ones will actually get them higher-paying jobs--as long as they know that if they waste their training money it's gone, just as if they'd spent their own funds? ....

Is that what Bush has in mind, though? The /NYT/'s David Brooks certainly advertised job training as part of the Ownership Society in a column last December , and the Department of Labor is billing "reemployment accounts" for the workers who /lose/ their jobs as an O.S. initiative . But President Bush's speech announcing his big job training initiative last spring talked mainly about *funneling money to governors and community colleges--i.e. government*--not to the workers themselves. And while Bush's GOP convention acceptance speech two months ago mentioned both "training" and the "ownership society" within a few sentences of each other, Bush was unclear on the connection. All this suggests to me that the community colleges, governors, and existing training providers are effectively resisting giving control of job training funds to the individual workers--after all, the workers might decide to spend the money elsewhere. ...

this is the kind of big government idea i like... especially when we can phase out some big government to do it.

And lets hope this exposes the crooks in the P.A

It is up to the French and Palestinian authorities to contact (Mrs Arafat) on this issue, which they have not done so far, so that a dignified solution can be worked out calmly which respects the law and history," the lawyers added.

Should the records be handed over to a third party without Suha Arafat's consent, hospital authorities would have to bear the consequences, they warned.

"Under the law there is no eligible party other than Mrs Arafat as the surviving wife of President Arafat and the legal representative of her only child Zahwa."

Questions of foreign policy have always been difficult for those of us who espouse a philosophy of limited government domestically, and they have only grown more difficult, though at the same time more critical, since September 11, 2001.



Unfortunately, instead of reassessing their minimalist instincts when it comes to intervention abroad, many in the institutional centers of the libertarian movement -- principally at the Cato Institute and, to a lesser extent, at Reason magazine -- have remained mired in a pre-9/11 mindset.

More inexplicable stupidity

By Aaron Klein
© 2004 WorldNetDaily.com

Israel has been grooming convicted killer Marwan Barghouti to become the next Palestinian Authority leader, holding a series of clandestine meetings with him, incarcerated Israeli spy Jonathan Pollard, who media reports claim may be part of a prisoner exchange involving Barghouti, told WorldNetDaily.

Israeli officials said last week they may release several jailed Palestinians as a "goodwill gesture" toward the future PA leadership. There have been a few reports that Barghouti, who was recently sentenced in Israel to five life terms for planning gun ambushes and a suicide bombing, may be considered for release, but Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon is said to have rejected the idea. Reports list Barghouti as the widely favored candidate for PA president.

Not only does Pollard ( according to this article) reject that... i seriously have to wonder what the guy who started the Al-Asqa Mayters can do other then his track record of killing lots and lots of jews

Strange Charges from seamingly credible people

Paris - Ivory Coast leader Laurent Gbagbo said on Saturday he believed reports were true that French troops had decapitated local demonstrators during anti-French riots in the West African state this month.

Isn't it great how a legitimately elected President is now a "Leader"

"I wasn't in the hospitals myself but everyone who went there said so: you may take it that the evidence provided by several people is true," he responded online from Abidjan to a website discussion in Paris.

Asked by AFP, French army information services in Paris would say only: "We have no comment to make on this kind of statement."

Cardinal Bernard Agre, Roman Catholic Archbishop of Abidjan, first made the decapitation charge, saying November 11 on Radio Vatican: "I have just come from the hospitals. It's unbearable, these young people decapitated by the French army."

So if this is true we need to send in peace keepers to protect from the peace keepers

I was in Model UN during my Sophmore year in high school and we were told tales of French peace keepers working as mercenaries for the Muslims by a UN aid worker who was talking to us

maybe this is whats happening here
