Life

Life most certainly does not suck, the fact that you can think and reason and pass judgments is as beautiful as you make it. Life is wow - life is more than the ability to reason, yet even the ability to reason is above the laws of physics- life is seeing the world through your subjective values and goals. Life is all the meaning that you give it and get from it. What you say, think, and do affects what life is to you. I utterly abhor the comment above mine and completely disagree with it. If you think about how cool it is that I can send words to you, representations of sounds and concepts, and that you read them and glean meaning from them. Not only that but! You are attempting to grasp the intentions behind the meanings. If I were to say I am a round square- I would be making a statement and attempting to imply that there is a linguistic rule that would back up that statement but infact! aha! it is nonsense that sentence actually means nothing, how cool right?

yeah.

to go on, :). Sensitive is a wonderful thing to be - it means you should listen. Listen to the way your heartbeats, the wind flows through the air and throats, listen to the pain, listen to the worship, listen to each voice attempting to create an existence that they can understand. The pain, the horror- it's an attempt to understand, it's how some rationalize. We are all so awful and flawed compared to our intentions and goals, and in someways it is, and it is beautiful. The sick and the perverse come from not understanding, from not being logical and loving. Love is simplest thing in the world, it is above even reason, which as I stated previously, is above all laws of physics, love is somehow above all things and yet is completely experiential and observable. Or is it? It's this vague and concrete concept all at once...

Love is the free trading that happens between two individuals, and somehow I don't mean to say love between two people that love each other- I mean selling toys to a mother that wants toys for her child. Love is in loving yourself and understanding the un-understandable it's in providing for your wants and needs and somehow in the exact process fulfilling others wants and needs- no one to tell you what to do, not stepping on anyone else's process.

yet, how can love be all things that fall into such a category? How can it not be?

If love is not freedom in all, then what is love? If love is not acting on peacefull understanding and forgiveness, then what is love? If love is not letting yourself feel and act, then what is love?

And if love is not living, then what is living?

p.s. I do think that people have the right to observe other people and judge others actions- "I can see sin in all the world. And I may well hate that sin, but never the sinner."- John Logan. Judgments are totally rational and reasonable they are how we as people understand and categorize information into usable pieces.

p.p.s oh and to be more analytically clear: The purpose to life is self-derived. I hope there is no purpose to life because that would imply fate and fate implies that there is predestination, and predestination implies that I am not a rational choosing person. It also implies that your friend is right in her conclusion that we have no right to pass judgment, because actions wouldn't be connected to the individual and then Ghandi and Hitler would be one in the same, and! then also those judgments I was passing really wouldn't be me at all because I would infact just be predestined to think those very thoughts and writing these very responses.

A sad cynical independent depriving life to live.

All Readers

You are few, if at all :).

I really apologise for only posting Ron Paul's work the past few postings, I wanted to get the message out and didn't have the time, or will, to do it myself.

So I will be back with my own intellect sometime soon, I am exhausted - after having a cold, not reading enough, and standing on a street corner for an hour with a large paper hand painted poster for Ron Paul (unfortunately I didn't take picture of it, seeing as I hand painted it.) I did get two yay! honks, it made standing for the other silent pavement pacers worth it. Oh and the rest comes later


goodnight

Interventionism? Isolationism? Actually, both. :Ron Paul

Interventionism? Isolationism? Actually, both.

A few months back, I wrote back-to-back weekly messages regarding globalism and isolationism. In writing those columns, I focused on the fact that our nation’s interventionist foreign policy was precisely what was isolating us from other countries.

Turkey’s recall of their U.S. ambassador in the wake of last week’s resolution, passed in the House Foreign Affairs Committee in condemnation of Turkey, is a perfect example of what I wrote in those columns, as well as what I have been saying for years.

The House has passed similar resolutions for years, praising some foreign countries or political groups while chastising others. It is my policy to vote against resolutions of this sort whenever they have the impact of placing our country in the middle of an internal political problem of some other nation, or involving us in some regional conflict. In fact, this is almost always the specific intent of resolutions of this sort. Often, I am the only Member of Congress to vote against these resolutions.

Some have questioned these votes, arguing that they are meaningless statements of opinion. However, I have always been more skeptical, and careful, about voting for these measures. Last week’s reaction by Turkey , a long term ally and NATO member, shows that Congress should be a lot more restrained in sticking our government’s nose into the affairs of other nations.

Even though I am no fan of the war in Iraq , keeping positive relations with Turkey is important to protecting our troops who have been sent to fight this war. We are likely to need cordial relations with Turkey so that we can get our troops out of Iraq as quickly and safely as possible, when the time comes.

As a member of the Foreign Affairs Committee, my office has been contacted both by the White House and the Turkish Embassy. They know I oppose these types of interventionist resolutions and they know I will not support the current resolution. They also know full well that this particular resolution will only serve to strain an important international relationship our country should be seeking to strengthen.

In this instance, the problem is that many of my colleagues in Congress are more interested in seeking to score political points and proclaim their moral superiority, instead of worrying about our nation’s best interests. Also, in most of these situations, those who oppose the resolution regarding Turkey all-too-often fail to realize that similar resolutions dealing with other nations have the exact same effect. Namely, they isolate our country from the rest of the world.

Even if other countries do not take the rather extreme step of recalling their ambassador, this kind of meddling by Congressional resolution almost always serves to offend governments and political leaders in other counties.

Last week’s events make clear that Congress, and our foreign policy establishment, must reconsider the entire policy of interventionism if we are to avoid further isolation of our nation.

Hillary Clinton and her Promises

"Hillary Clinton talked about how she would work to rebuild the economy. She promised that as president, she would create jobs, provide universal health care and create an education system that works, including affordable college tuition.
She said that this would be paid for when troops begin to return from Iraq, bringing money back to the U.S."[1]

OKAY, QUESTION TIME:

Q: What does demanding universal health care create?

A: Bingo! More taxation. (see here for a point of view)

We have two problems—we have the problem of the uninsured and the problem of the underinsured. My American Health Choices Plan would insure every single person for what they need.

It's simple: If you have insurance you like, you keep it. There is no disruption. If you have a good policy through your business or through a union or through a municipality, nothing changes. But if you don’t have insurance – or you don't like the insurance you have – you can choose from the same menu of private plans available to members of Congress. And we will provide tax credits to help you afford it.

My plan also bans insurance company discrimination, so you will never be denied coverage because of pre-existing conditions or risk factors that you might have. And we don't require small business to do anything but it does provide tax credits to help small businesses if they choose to afford to buy health care for their employees.

Does it sound nice- someone doing all the work for you? A ‘them’ having the ability to steal from your pocket to create a ‘greater good’ a more Utopian society. Maybe to a select few, or maybe to those who haven't studied the flaws of macro-economics. Honey, the Leviathan is acommin.

Q: What in the world does she mean by 'create jobs'?

A: Sounds completely scary and empty to me. What does an political head figure mean with those two words? She says we are “rebuilding the road to the middle class” who is? My answer, the people are free individuals of trade and intellect, they make choices that reflect their highest values and jobs do arise continually. Her answer is that the government should help, “Hillary will finance her investments in innovation without increasing the deficit by devoting a portion of the revenue from ending tax breaks for companies that shift jobs overseas.” Clinton’s Proposal

“As president, I will lead our nation to create millions of new jobs by investing in clean energy and doubling investments in basic and applied research. I’ll implement a national strategy to bring broadband – and the information economy – to every corner of our country. I’ll improve math and science education, and open up science and engineering to more of our people. And I’ll end the assault on science waged by the Bush Administration.
“As we enter this new world of economic, technological, and social change – our dedication to innovation will be more important than ever. It will be the key to creating new jobs, to harnessing globalization and to rebuilding the road to middle class prosperity.”

This is one of the frustrating myths, her idea encompasses the government allocation of taxes will create something that if the government didn't do, wouldn't happen, if it was wanted/needed, would be made just as well or much better by the entrepreneurs of the people. Not only would the power of the people directly influence the wants and needs of itself, but it would create the honest reflection of the market. [1], [2], Job creation, Government VS The People, What the UN has to say.


Q: REBUILDING THE ECONOMY?

A: In that case! She must be invading the mind and choices of each individual because WE ARE THE ECONOMY- our individual interactions, Micro-Economics. Okay, I’m asking for honesty, is she being very genuine and honest? Because I don't what in the heck she could possibly mean by this statement in a, true way- what does her plan entail and HOW COULD THAT POSSIBLY CREATE LIBERTY?
http://www.hillaryclinton.com/news/speech/view/?id=5466

We live in a complex, interconnected, global economy. All of our challenges are all together now. We can't just put band-aids on one and expect to solve our problems. What we have to do is have a plan to create good jobs and restore fairness to the economy. We need to renew the promise of America that if you work hard, you can get ahead. We need to return to fiscal responsibility, so that Washington once again lives within a budget, just like you and your family has to do.

It sounds pretty right? But what does it mean to 'restore fairness to the economy?' or to 'create jobs' ? It sounds to me that she has a tiny voice in her head that knows what America is, because she continually states that it's the Peoples place, that the government needs to implement new jobs for us and help us jump start the economy, it sounds pretty but unfortunately, or rather fortunately, it doesn't work that way.

Q: Educational system that works?

A: For whom and who pays, and why not just cut taxes instead of for certain people, and who and what regulates who gets what? That's a whole new unneeded, yucky, job.


Q: Creating affordable college tuition?

A: Who is that hurting? Is she mandating more taxes? Have you ever heard of scarcity? Or the freedoms of private institutions? What about making them all private, how would that compare to her -hopeful- results?

Bring more women and minorities into the math, science, and engineering professions. Increasing the educational attainment of women and minorities, particularly in math, science and engineering, is critical to our future as an innovative nation. Women comprise 43% of the workforce but only 23% of scientists and engineers. Blacks and Hispanics represent 30% of the workforce, but only 7% of scientists and engineers. Unless women and underrepresented minorities develop strong math, science, and engineering skills, the average educational attainment of the American worker will decline. Hillary will direct the federal agencies to adopt criteria that take diversity into account when awarding education and research grants. She also proposes that the federal government provide financial support to college and university programs that encourage women and minorities to study math, science, and engineering.

I feel this as an awful unnecessary perception on who colleges are to admit as students, a very Keynesian way of looking at education. end.

No matter where or when, the essential prerequisite for economic growth is capital accumulation in a framework of freedom and sound money. The consequence of price control is shortage and surplus. The effect of money expansion is inflation and the business cycle. The effect of every form of intervention is to make society less prosperous than it would otherwise be.

Austrian VS Keynesian and Bastiat
That is a GREAT place to go, it has a lot of information in fewer words than many other texts, I recommend.

A prime example of the people doing things that you might not think they would, have faith in humanity, we do work as free individuals, we do. (Providing free RP stickers)

I don't particuarily favor this at all but it's one way to see what she's doing from a surprisingly rising majority of the ex-apathetics Here.

And, Thank You for taking your time to care about your freedoms and reading daunting things in order to fully educate yourself, I say, always carry with you your Constitution and Bill of Rights, we are American Humans, we are humans of democracy and justice.

A man switched his party from Demo. to Republican to vote for Ron Paul and was Harrassed


Relatively objective standpoint on who Ron Paul is and what his goals are- this is a truly 'awesome' article.NY Times (Christopher Caldwell)
A quote to start your interest in reading this article:

This side of Paul has made him the candidate of many people, on both the right and the left, who hope that something more consequential than a mere change of party will come out of the 2008 elections. He is particularly popular among the young and the wired. Except for Barack Obama, he is the most-viewed candidate on YouTube. He is the most “friended” Republican on MySpace.com. Paul understands that his chances of winning the presidency are infinitesimally slim. He is simultaneously planning his next Congressional race. But in Paul’s idea of politics, spreading a message has always been just as important as seizing office. “Politicians don’t amount to much,” he says, “but ideas do.” Although he is still in the low single digits in polls, he says he has raised $2.4 million in the second quarter, enough to broaden the four-state campaign he originally planned into a national one.

Rep. Ron Paul: I advocate the same foreign policy the Founding Fathers would
Here is an excerpt:

It is not we non-interventionists who are isolationists. The real isolationists are those who impose sanctions and embargoes on countries and peoples across the globe because they disagree with the internal and foreign policies of their leaders. The real isolationists are those who choose to use force overseas to promote democracy, rather than seek change through diplomacy, engagement, and by setting a positive example…

A Paul administration would see Americans engaged overseas like never before, in business and cultural activities. But a Paul administration would never attempt to export democracy or other values at the barrel of a gun, as we have seen over and over again that this is a counterproductive approach that actually leads the United States to be resented and more isolated in the world."

Ron Paul: an absolute faith in free markets and less government

The 10-term congressman from Texas has been a strict constitutionalist since he came into public life some 30 years ago.
"His message is basic: freedom and limited government. Repeal the welfare-warfare state. Get out of Iraq, now. Abolish the income tax. End the war on drugs. Put the dollar back on a more solid footing."Christian Science Monitor

"While Paul was a leading 2008 presidential candidate in GOP straw polls, he saw substantially less support in landline opinion polls and in various early primaries. He has strong grassroots support, facilitated by the Internet, where he leads other candidates in Web searches and YouTube subscriptions. On December 16, 2007, Paul had the largest one-day fundraiser in U.S. political history, raising over $6 million in 24 hours through an independently organized effort." wiki

"During his early days, Paul was influenced by Friedrich Hayek’s Road to Serfdom, which led him to read many works of Ayn Rand and Ludwig Von Mises while still a medical resident in the 1960s. He came to know economists Hans Sennholz and Murray Rothbard well, and credits to them his interest in the study of economics. He clearly remembers August 15, 1971, when President Richard Nixon closed the "gold window" by implementing the U.S. dollar's complete departure from the gold standard, as the day phe realized what the Austrian school economists wrote was coming true.[32] That same day, the young physician decided to enter politics, saying later, "After that day, all money would be political money rather than money of real value. I was astounded.""[26]
wiki

-In his House farewell address, Paul said, "Special interests have replaced the concern that the Founders had for general welfare. Vote trading is seen as good politics. The errand-boy mentality is ordinary, the defender of liberty is seen as bizarre. It's difficult for one who loves true liberty and utterly detests the power of the state to come to Washington for a period of time and not leave a true cynic."

"Great Ron Paul Interview"


Foundation for Rational Economics and Education (FREE) is an American non-profit, non-partisan, educational foundation dedicated to public education on the principles of free-market economics, sound money and limited government. It was founded in 1976 by Congressman Ron Paul whilst he was serving on the House Banking Committee as a vehicle to increase understanding of the economic principles of a free-market society.

FREE publishes monographs, books and a monthly newsletter, The Freedom Report, which seek to create a greater public awareness of the principles of limited government and in 1989 FREE established the National Endowment for Liberty (NEFL) in order to develop programs that take advantage of electronic media. NEFL developed and produced the At Issue television series that was seen on the Discovery Network and CNBC.

Tingling in the palms of my hands- Life Lessons

I do not just follow popular trend, or absent mindidly make decisions. I make choices after hours of honest studying with genuine resources-and makes decisions based on the morality and ethics I have developed through my studying. I don't see how I could be accused of not making my own decisions or thinking genuinely for myself. Yes, I happen to have a good professor that does not teach to a test…. rather he provides an environment for us to hone skills the skills crucial in dissecting texts and provides us with critiques and classes designed to developing dialogue skills: in order to prepare me to comprehend- he "teaches" to my intellect. I'm never once told what to believe or why I should agree with anything.
The world is a wide place of resources and amazing literature. I, in class and out of class, study philosophy and economics. I am so grateful to have a professor and friends that have inspired me to become intellectually competent. The debate team I am a member of is Lincoln Douglas debate, it is called value debate - debates based on ethics (morality) and philosophy. It takes effort to comprehend texts and the concepts and beliefs that uphold what the writer is speaking of. Many texts take other texts to decipher because they use other concepts to defend their statements. To be able to read Rousseau’s Social Contract and know exactly why I disagree and what philosopher and or reasoning upholds my belief. These things are backed up with reason -and it's rewarding all in itself to me, every AHA I achieve makes breathing my next breath all the more worth it. I am a slave to reason and intellect, I'm happy for that.
During a large part of my life I felt as if things were pointless and held no basis for existing. I held on to living in hope that things would magically get better. I was obviously so stuck in the nonage of my surroundings, and wanted so badly to be lead. I didn't want to have to think for myself- in even further laymen’s terms: I had my own thoughts but I didn’t know what to think of the government or anything beyond what I had encountered in my life and just wanted someone that was “right” to tell me how everything should be, fortunately, for my own sake, no one was ever right enough to latch onto- I admit to that. I was mostly into thinking about the emotional realms of life and death and such. In 8th grade I began to accept myself as a valid human being that deserved to be treated kindly and as a human- healing some damage I had held onto so now my focous was less on the emotional realms. Well, I became SLIGHTLY restless around 9th grade with this way of being- letting others think for me. I really didn't let others think for me, I just didn't really have strong basis for my beliefs and simply didn't do much at all besides busy myself with thoughtless actions. Actually, I was always very strong in believing in my individual rights and the respect of other individual rights I was just plain lazy and didn't purse many things besides companionship and pursuit of hiding from my own loneliness. As I said beforehand, I became restless in not being able to reasonably justify why I though MY means to the ends I wanted achieved things better than, my parents (emotionally I was rebelling in an intellectual way to them rather than with drugs and such). So I would frequently get very upset with society and my family and my schooling- that I didn’t learn anything and that no one would teach me- and blame my feelings on other people- when really it was my lack of letting myself educate (that sentence sounds weird but it is typed correctly to what I am saying there). I began a slow and painfully (made by myself) activity of gnawing off the chains that I had bound myself in by attaching myself to laziness and reliance(dependence on others). Freshman year I tentatively peeked into a few debate classes and felt inspired and still VERY fearful of the possibility that I was responsible for my own education; (I was still coming to this awareness and still very much wanted to “be taught”) so I didn't go to debate much. In sophomore year, I again took steps into the “realms of knowledge” (I now call the cave) and was frightened… this time my understanding of myself, I knowing that I wanted to know more and be able to tell my mom what I thought -without just yelling that I hated the world and that I hated the “stupid government that was ruining my life and forcing me to attend school”, held me there in debate class. Because I knew that I could not ignore that want to change this time, because I had started knowing that I had possibility at my fingertips to change my own resistance and soon I would begin to understand my ignorance- this scared me so much, I felt even more lonely as if I would never understand these things. Well I wouldn't attend a debate tournament and I was still fairly fearful and focused much on what I didn't have and what I didn't like and how fucked up the world is and how I'm hopeless and I "just want to stop existing". The more you learn, the smaller you become to your own self. Well skipping over my many groans all spurred from my fear of responsibility and freedom- we come to Junior year.
This year, I felt ready and excited- having come to terms with my reasons for not wanting to be my ultimate potential- I was ready to over come the stupidity of them all (I’m still working on becoming the best I can be- that’s a daily thing).
First day of Theories of Knowledge Class- we all came in and sat down quietly at the table… waiting for instructions of what to do (!) exciting, my first day of this class I had been waiting and waiting for! Well… Professor Loan didn't say anything- he sat there for about 10 min. we asked him a few times like "hey, what's up?" "What are we doing in class today?" the like. He eventually stood up and going to the white board wrote a quote or some collaboration of a quote (I’ll update this Monday when I find the exact quote) "I am a public school teacher, I teach the lesson of dependency, ...skipping parts because I left my notebook at school...Good people wait for those better educated than themselves."

from this article - although most likely it was from the actual book. (http://www.newciv.org/whole/schoolteacher.txt) I've been reading some of the PROFOUND things that this guy has written and wow!

"Whatever an education is, it should make you a unique individual, not a conformist; it should furnish you with an original spirit with which to tackle the big challenges; it should allow you to find values which will be your road map through life; it should make you spiritually rich, a person who loves whatever you are doing, wherever you are, whomever you are with; it should teach you what is important, how to live and how to die."

– John Taylor Gatto
(http://www.homeschooloasis.com/art_john_taylor_gatto.htm)

This one is so so so good- http://www.naturalchild.org/guest/john_gatto.html

I'm going to look into the library system and if they don't have any of his books I will order "dumbing us down" because I am genuinely interested.
Any ways back to Junior year and that first day of class, well it really put pressure back on that idea that I am insanely crucial in my role of learning, regardless of what I had previously let myself fall into -of wanting to be taught. The teacher is not good unless the student realizes that teachers aren't there to do the learning for them. As Twain stated, "I have never let my schooling interfere with my education." and "A person who won't read has no advantage over one who can't read. " Well the next few weeks we worked on reading Mark Twains- Corn-Pone Opinions and Kant's "What is Enlightenment" (not the complete article on Enlightenment). After a few hours spread over about 3 weeks-dialoguing and reading over the articles we had to write a short paper and then revise and make it longer and then make it longer again….and then again finally ending about 1,500 word essay on whether or not Mark Twain and Immanuel Kant agreed or disagreed.
Well to say the least, those first few months of school, have been the best experience of my life and it's only gotten better since then. (I highly recommend those two readings- btw Brittany I need my Twain back please). My passions for the intellect this year have been the pivotal point in almost all of my decisions.
In my sophomore year I decided that I wanted to do film as a college graduate school program and since I did then appreciate to some extent the intellectual realm, I said I wanted to learn about it all and be able to use these amazing concepts in my films. Well this has been becoming more and more evident as the path that I want to choose, if I am not competent as a film producer or something sad like that - I will still most certainly be able and happy in my passion of economics and philosophy. I have read so little, and have so much to read - it's inspiring and exciting: despite the let downs of the fact that many people are unaware of all of these beautiful resources I over come that- and love talking about anything intresting..haha with anyone. So here I am in January 2008, a little over half way through an amazing school chapter in my life.

I love people, I love being challenged and challenging beliefs, that's why I do debate- so coming back to debate (seeing as I never finished that thought here are some things about a passion of mine.) I'd like to proudly announce that this past weekend I made a new leap in becoming who I want to be and attended a debate tournament, I lost all three rounds and I'm so glad that I did- I learned a lot more about how much work and effort I need to start giving myself. But none the less, I did attend and I am happy that I did so. Not only were the rounds important to me but the interactions with the people I met and my perceptions on education- I met a few debaters that didn't know how to use reason in their arguments and would say things like "being gay is just...nasty...well why?...."because it just is...". I am glad my team attended, because we challenged someone beliefs and maybe changed something even if it's just that they have now met people that challenge what they are used to in their groups of friends.

The reason LD debate is named after Lincoln and Douglas is because their debates were centered around slavery and the morals, values, and logic behind it. Unlike policy debate, Lincoln Douglas does not require vast amounts of statistics or other empirical data. LD is a logical debate divided into a central Value that the debater claims his case achieves, a value criterion (way to achieve the Value), and commonly 2-4 logically developed contentions that back the value and criterion.

" I have been debating for a long time. In fact, sometimes I sit back and think about how long I’ve been involved in this activity and I almost faint. The reason I’ve done it so long is because I love it. Although I now debate CEDA, I still really care about L.D. I coach it and judge it and I want to see it develop into a debate form that is respected. The person who taught me L.D. influenced the way that I perceive the event. To me, L.D. isn’t about squeezing a policy round into forty-five minutes. It isn’t about research, it isn’t about speed---it’s about thinking. I have debated policy and I sincerely believe that it is far easier than L.D. The preparation for policy may be intense, but the actual round is not as hard. L.D. requires you to think about the assumptions of what you say and what you believe. It also forces you to analyze both sides of a value claim. In this way, L.D. is incredibly important. There is no question that the way(s in which) people perceive the world is very different. In many cases, people’s refusal to attempt to understand these differences is the cause of much conflict. The kind of questions that I believe L.D. should address are the kinds of questions that everyone should think about because it is these questions that call into mind the fundamental assumptions that make us see the world in the way that we do. By calling into question these assumptions, people are better equipped to understand that there are different ways of viewing the world, none of which is fundamentally more legitimate than another. By placing these issues into the framework of debate, L.D. forces young people to expand their own thought processes."
