Home > Random Thoughts And Comments

These days it seems most of my thoughts are random. So much going on in the world and with this age of instant communication, people want to know…….right now! As a reader, do you simply read from one, two or three sources and accept what you have read as fact? Do you look into things that interest you to learn more or verify it’s authenticity? Most don’t!

I do both but more times than not I come away with more questions than I had before I began reading anything. I suppose this is good, at least for me, as it tells me I’m not totally convinced that what I read is the gospel.

Here’s a question for you. We as humans develop thoughts and ideas from a very early age. As we grow, oftentimes our thoughts, ideas and ideals change too. Are you the same today as your were when you were say 15? Many have said that when we reach adulthood, we should have become who we are going to be. I guess from that they mean that our ideals and beliefs are pretty much etched in stone. If this is true, what is that magical age in which we can no longer change? Or can we change?

Examine yourself for a moment. Using your current age, do you still adjust your thoughts and beliefs according to what you learn on a daily basis, providing of course you are still learning?

It appears an evil sin as a politician that you change your mind about something. Today that is called flip-flopping. Yes, we see flip-flopping a lot by candidates in order to pander for votes but I’m talking mostly about real change. Is this bad or good? Does this mean you are an indecisive, wishy-washy person too fickle to lead or does it mean you are willing to adjust your thinking with more knowledge?

If Michael Phelps doesn’t win 8 gold medals in the Beijing Olympics, will he be a failure?

Why did Meredith Viera on the Today Show, in talking with the women’s gymnastics team, focus on how the girls felt about losing?

What is the real age of the “children” representing China in women’s gymnastics?

Will the Tampa Bay Rays win the AL pennant? Does anybody really care?

What does it say about our society now that the National Inquirer magazine is considered a legitimate and respected media source for breaking the John Edwards scandalous affair? Everyday, the New York Times seems to shrink in readership and the National Inquirer goes up. Hmmmmmmm?

I heard that the head of the FCC is saying that next year a new and different version of the “Fairness Doctrine” will be introduced. For those who don’t know, the Fairness Doctrine began and then was overturned, to guarantee that in talk radio anybody who expressed a thought had to give equal time to someone with an opposing view.

This new and improved act won’t be called the Fairness Doctrine but will more than likely be hidden in some sheep’s wool and disguised as something like “The Freedom of Speech Act” or some such foolishness.

For those who may also not be aware, the FCC guy said the new “Fairness Doctrine” will extend to the Internet, to get rid of guys like me and the millions of other people in this country wanting to share their thoughts and ideas.

If such a law should pass and I would be required to present opposing views, there would be hell to pay and I hope that millions of other Americans will stand up and say they aren’t going to take it anymore. Most will just say, “Oh, that won’t happen here.”

Is the Tenth Amendment dead? Is it now null and void because the states have been bought off with federal money? If, as some say, once any state accepts federal money, they give up their rights and powers to the federal government, then do people on welfare and/or receiving any kind of federal assistance also give up their rights? Does anyone know what the Tenth Amendment is?

~~~~~~~

And the final question of the day: Is it closer to New York or by car?

Man – thanks for bringing to our attention the deal with the FCC – that’s plain wrong. I wonder how they’ll bend the rules so that liberal shows don’t have to comply.

Not sure how you do it, but I love coming here and getting all the fresh info.

I thought those “opposing” views were the only rights ones therefore they must be automatically exempt. LOL

Tom, guess I have been back in the woods too long to appreciate a new language, so maybe you could explain what that last sentance was all about….(is that an example of some new phraseology?)
And I never thought life was supposed to be fair….even righteousness always had right and a wrong! So now we have to make sure we take a little bad with the good…(or vise-versa?) Hell already had enough of that in the very beginning….and we still can’t seem to avoid it, anyways! So now, we shouldn’t try??? What a crock!

Oh, by the way, if it’s too esoteric, don’t even bother! (that includes structure my old english teacher would cring at) not!
Tom Remington

The last statement was something I learned perhaps 30 or so years ago while attending school in Calyphonyia! So now don’t get all worked up expecting some profound explanation to something that means absolutely nothing! I just figured the question was just about as rock solid as much of what exists around us today anyway.

In fun though, I have asked people that question before and have actually gotten answers.

So, is it?

BTW – I don’t know what esoteric means.
jes

i THINK New YOrk is quicker but that other place takes longer…by car cost more, its probably shorter…but you know how that is,,,don’t you? not!
ar

New York is closer. I’m not interested in going there but
I’ll take the car. The last time I was there, I left with
the same car so I feel fortunate for that.

Here’s some more fairness. I read today that a good part of
the HIV/AIDS problem is because of homophobia. Indeed.
Imagine, if I say what I really want to, it’s a “hate” crime.
If I am nice about it, I’m homophobic. Now that I’m homo-
phobic, you have Aids!
jes

Thanks, but you can keep it…New York and Aids and homos…but leave me the gas! You can keep the car, as well, you won’t need it without the gas…

Dammit Tom pull your head out, the 14th Amendment of 1868 changed the founders intentions of Sovereign States being independent Nations, and created the Federal Plantation being in charge of the No-longer Sovereign States, then the bums went to work destroying Individual De-Jure Sovereign Status via all those licenses and such. The 10th Amendment is null and void thats why states refuse to act on it, We have only had federal money fiat fake paper “money” since 1913, and since Nixon it has been backed by NOTHING. The Federal Reserve Bank is a foreign owned corporation, we and every thing we use, do, our forest lands ARE THE COLLATERAL on the LOAN. Those FRNs are CREDIT, CREDIT, CREDIT, NOTHING MORE. Stop reading and pushing GARBAGE and do some real research, you need only look to Congressional Globes, Annals and Records of Congress, here’s a clue TOM, start with the 76th Congress, monday August 19, 1940, Read the remarks of Hon. J. Thorkelson of Montana in the House Of Representatives. I swear to GOD I do not understand what you people are so fricking afraid of, It is no different than facing down a charging BEAR in the woods, Heads in the SAND get NOTHING DONE EVER, EVER. It’s Pathetic Apathy, Dammit read the George Town Law Journal or something, Learn how our Modern Commercial Code is the new and Improved ANCIENT BABYLONIAN CODE, well who’s code is that TOMMY, start on page 1179 my friend, if that don’t get your head out your BACKSIDE nothing will. “Whats the matter with the 10th Amendment??? Gimmme a break….These criminals ruining this country do not even hide who they are and what their doing, but you must read the right things and stop listening to the LIAR TV and NEWSPAPERS and stupid Know nothing BLOGS because at those places you will find ZERO TRUTH. I just wonder how sick must America become before you WAKE UP.
Tom Remington

Greg – While I appreciate your enthusiasm and your contributions to this website, I really don’t have much appreciation for being told to pull my head out of my ass and get a clue. I fail to see how those comments add any substance to your thoughts. It actually drives readers away and, if I may be so bold, it makes you look like you have your head up the only ass in the world that doesn’t stink.

I understand your disdain for much of what happens in this country but whether you like it or not, people of this country do read newspapers, watch “LIAR” TV and read “know nothing blogs”. I have to try to reach people this way, in an environment they are familiar with.

In much of what I write, it is done to insight conversation, open dialog and get people thinking. I guess I accomplished such with you, however, cool your jets some and use a different approach in your assault on the messenger.
Greg Farber

Tom,

You told me once you had your head in the sand. Also my arse is filthy, yet my mind is clear and not eaton by pretty nice sounding soft spoken Illusions. The point is people should be swarming to read Congressional Globes, Annals, Records of Congress, not listening to some government bought off journalist who knows nothing about the Nations Real Problems, all these talking heads do is offer a band-aid for Liver Cancer. Why dosen’t the 10th Amendment get used, I just showed you why and where to look to get to the BONE of the matter, I don’t offer band-aids.

Cicero remarked in the Roman Senate as recorded by Sallust; Quoted from the Pillar of Iron, p. 556;

” A nation can survive its fools and even the ambitious. But it cannot survive treason from within. An enemy at the gates is less formidable, for he is known and carries his banners openly against the city. But the traitor moves among those within the gates freely, his sly whispers rustling through the alleys, heard in the very halls of government itself. For the traitor appears no traitor; he speaks in the accents familiar to his victims, and he wears their face and their garments and he appeals to the baseness that lies deep in the hearts of all men. He rots the soul of a nation; he works secretly and unknown in the night to undermine the pillars of the city; he infects the body politic so that it can no longer resist. A murderer is less to be feared. The traitor is the carrier of the plague.”

Both body politic’s in this Nation suffer from this plague, read the globes, annals and records of congress and see first hand for your self. This has gone the way of the enemy since the Civil War and the assassination of Lincoln who would never have allowed that RED 14th Amendment to take place, Period.

So I get a little radical at times, I will take radical truth over useless pretty politically correct banter which solves nothing. Seeking truth in mass and forcing these thugs to recognize the people have found the facts which do exist stops the Marxist’s in their tracks and the people take charge once again. Looking to the evidence in the globes is key to understanding the depth of the BETRAYAL the people suffer, and while you refuse to do the work you punish those of us who do the research and point to the truth. I guess that make’s you a doubting Thomas….HA.

Greg, I was thinking of responding to this rant, but I find so many faults with it, that I really don’t think you are capable of taking it point by point…maybe that would just aggraviate your condition, which seems to be blind and bent to your own satisfactions..
You know, there are a lot of honest, decent, hard working and God fearing people in this country, who just don’t have time or the intellect to read the leagalize that you have. Finding time to rest up after a weeks grind, is probably more than most families have time for, so if you are qualified to understand and represent them, then why don’t you, instead of critising and insulting! It doesn’t become you.
If you can do some good, then do it, but your rant was just that…and more of an insult than an education!
Tom Remington

Greg – Two points for you to consider.

1. You say that people should be swarming to read the globes, etc. People should do a lot of things. The fact is they don’t and won’t. Therefore, don’t you think it is productive to teach and educate one point at a time? The old saying goes that you can entice more bees with honey than with vinegar.

2. You make assumptions that also discredit yourself. You stated that “you refuse to do the work” (insinuating me) and then somehow equate that with punishment to you. First, you know nothing about what I do and don’t do or the reasons for such. Secondly, I fail to see how I’m punishing you by asking readers a simple question that just might prompt someone to think beyond their usual level of effort.

With that said, you need to understand that I am not suggesting that you stop sharing your thoughts, etc., just that you use a bit better tactics in promoting such.

Leaving out a sentence here and there in many things that you write would add to your sincerity and credibility rather than driving people away from wanting to hear you at all.
Greg Farber

Folks need to go look it up for themselves, and stop believing anyone except what their own eyes unvail and use their own minds to judge the evidence. I don’t want or need credibility, the truth of the evidence will speak volumes, I see folks who care about America going round and round in circles whining yet the answers exist and there be no-doubt about the treason taking place, I’m tired to, I still did the research. I got my cow camp being destroyed, My hunts ruined, my 104K going to hell, our National Forests being used as collateral for more government borrowing from the fed so people who get voted into those jobs can have luxury all around them, like John Kerry’s 30 million dollar mansion just up the road from me, I dont need credibility, the evidence has credibility, I need these political liars and cheats in JAIL. Look here and see what they did to a Republican Congressman from Idaho in 1984 for trying to tell the truth;

George Hanson tried to expose the IRS with his book; To Harrass Our People, The IRS and Government Abuse of Power. The Supreme Court found George Hanson innocent of any wrong doing ten years after the fact, but he was still ruined. This really is Amerika and Im PISSED OFF about it.

The UNited Nations is in control of the ESA, FWS, Forest Service and several other of our properties, and agencies. FACT. And I’m PISSED OFF about it.

I just think once in a while others could tackle the tough topics to the BONE and expose the truth. Why the hell beat around the bush about it?? It is the UN behind all this anti-gun crap, I guess when the Constitution, which is hanging by a thread now, is finally disolved, we become a North American Union, with a Stupor Highway and join with Canada-Mexico-South America and the UN comes in and takes over, takes the guns, We can all get MADD AND IGNORANT then.

I gotta back out side and watch the Forest Service Bull-Dozer my corrals and line shacks now. see ya…..
