Greek Antiques, Democracy, Modern China - Brutal Panda In Tibet
March 28, 2008
Greek and Chinese antiques history has both had a wise and kind, or arrogantly powerful leadership. However, unlike Greece, China has always been imperial. Emperor or Chairman, all rules come from within the walls of the forbidden city and must be obeyed, or shame, pain, and death will follow you and your family into the grave. Socrates drank his cup of hemlock for saying too much truth, but the people of Athens, disgusted, punished those Ruling 30 and soon all were in disgrace, banned or dead.... Read more »
Can The Bush Tax Cut Work?
March 28, 2008
After weeks of increasingly dismal reports from the financial sector, many regular Americans are beginning to worry that the US may be close to or already in recession. While government intervention in the economy is relatively uncommon in US history, since its establishment in the 1930’s, the Federal Reserve has been able to manipulate interest rates, giving them the power to make all real estate loans more or less expensive by some degree, which comes with a hefty responsibility: controlling...

Greek Antiques Democracy - Now In Bhutan, Right Beside Tibet
March 27, 2008
What a day of irony on the international news from London! From the hopes of Greek antiques democracy, the torch being lit in Olympus near Athens, to views of Chinese police in Tibet walking the streets, running at and hitting to the ground any saffron robed young man. And then just now to election which have today concluded in Bhutan, the mountain kingdom just over those very high hills from Tibet. In fact, I noticed, in seeing the long lines of peoples of Bhutan lining up to vote, they are mostly... Read more »
Healthy Lifestyles, Wise Aging - No More Patents, but A Nobel Peace Prize
March 27, 2008
There are so many examples that I have been studying of great men of history who changed the world in their youth with some massive and brilliant step forward, only to decline in their later years into silly side routes as our modern history now shows. But if we read how Sir Isaac Newton, who may have been the greatest genius known, along with Michelangelo, Lincoln, Leonardo, Archimedes, Einstein and others we see they all made all their greatest inventions in their youth. For many, their later... Read more »
Greek Antiques, Roman Warriors - Senior Aristotle Bush vs Junior Nero Bush
March 27, 2008
When Greek antiques met the incoming Roman warriors, what usually was left of the library was in shambles and flames; there was always much blood on the floor and the walls, and after not as much book learning as sword contests forever and a day ever after. And such fine minds who could bring others together in a common goal based on mutual discussion leading to what seemed a meeting common ground between two very opposing views. And in that regard we see the senior President Bush as not unlike Aristotle,... Read more »
Greek Antiques, China, Democracy - With Star Treck Under Tianaman Square?
March 27, 2008
The mind can imagine all that which we have seen and known of, and this is an honest leap of imagination into what could well be. And I will lead us from point of fact and logic to a point of projected logic: we know that if you keyboard certain words, such as democracy, or Tibet, that a certain tracking system may have been kicked into place, to attach itself as a bug to your system, and follow you wherever you may go. If you get to be a guest aboard a modern marvel of technology, as I have been,... Read more »
Healthy Lifestyles - More Soul Of Aristotle, Less Sword Of Caesar
March 27, 2008
To watch the news from the middle east can be so painful. We can feel our hearts ache for those dying and being blown apart each day, we can despair, or still search for ways to stop the bloodshed. How we can best apply a kind and wise use of compromise and decision to create fair agreements that all can abide by is still nowhere in sight. Perhaps it is near time that we all take one step back from their wall building actions, which do not seem to be working as hoped for. The Biblical or Koran... Read more »
Greek Antiques, Democracy , Open To All - Except Inside China’s Bunker
March 27, 2008
The times they are changing, daily, as events around the world arrive to us so much more than ever before. Events of protest in Tibet come to us live, as does activities and horrors from everywhere on earth now. We have today watched the British channel interview, from the back, three women who live in that hell hole on earth run by a hateful fool, Zimbabwe. One of these women is a teacher, we a re told. Another is a female police officer, the other is a judge. They have large families, one has... Read more »
Healthy Lifestyles, Global Kerosene From Airplanes - Time For Cleaner Super Train!
March 27, 2008
Healthy lifestyles would not recommend that you be downdraft or under a modern aircraft. They are fueled for more power with kerosine, that lamp that gave off smoke into the lungs of grandpa while he tried to read the paper. Mostly, we can now turn on the lights and not ignite a flammable substance into our lives. Although modern industry, in it’s efficient way, can some times do this for us. Take, for example, that modern marvel, the jet engine. It is a much more high powered machine, loaded... Read more »
Healthy Lifestyles, Cartoons, Elmer, Bugs - President Fudd, Bugs bin Ladin Is Not Here, Go Home!
March 27, 2008
The cartoons of American antiques and historical characters come at us daily. We laugh at the slow witted, yet very violent Elmer Fudd, very quick to shoot many times in a volley of violence. Which somehow some times reminds us of that actual modern day incarnation of President Fudd, our real time chap so trigger happy, the second and lesser President Bush. He of very little noble career diplomatic skills earned through war and negotiations with all he had to, friend and foe, to achieve many fine... Read more »
