The Rich, The Poor, Sex & Money
What sex fiends and perverts just don’t seem be able to get into their thick heads is this: Just because you’ve gotten a nice tingly feeling down in your private parts doesn’t mean that you have to ACT on it. You can just appreciate it for what it is — a surprise gift. Or you can do what a lot of Taoists do — you can recycle it.
How To Avoid ‘Money Pervs’

What sex fiends and perverts just don’t seem be able to get into their thick heads is this: Just because you’ve gotten a nice tingly feeling down in your private parts doesn’t mean that you have to ACT on it. You can just appreciate it for what it is — a surprise gift. Or you can do what a lot of Taoists do — you can recycle it.
According to Taoist master Mantak Chia, all of us have a “microcosmic energy orbit” that runs up from the base of our spines, through our brains, down our fronts and then back around through our private parts and up through our spines once again. So. If you are starting to get all nice and tingly Down There, just suck that feeling up through your back bone and into your brain and then put all of that excess energy to work thinking good thoughts. Or something like that. Then you won’t have to waste all your spare time stalking or raping or nothing.
And this same rule about sex also applies to money. Some people think that they can never get enough money. They become addicts. They become “money perverts”. And right now “money pervs” appear to be running our world.
And what about the rest of us normal guys who would not hesitate for a minute to grab a child-molester who has stalked our children’s innocence and to throw him into jail? Yet all too many of us are just sitting back and applauding while a legion of unbalanced perverts stalk our children’s money.
And people like Rush Limbaugh and Benjamin Bernanke and folks in the Bush-Obama administration are actually cheering these money-pervs on — while these perverts reach their hands down into OUR pants.
It really bothers me right now that there are millions of right-wing teabaggers out there who make less than $100,000 a year — yet seem to hate us left-wing idealists who are poor as church-mice so much that they would do us bodily harm if given half a chance. And yet these same teabaggers seem to idolize and adore “money pervs” who cannot control their money addictions, who can never be satisfied and can never get enough dollars. These money-pervs will lie, steal, kill, sell out their families and country or do any other repulsive thing that they can to feed their insatiable habits.
These money-pervs are stealing the rest of us blind — and yet everyone out there seems to love them!
My suggestion?
Anyone who has hoarded up more than one million dollars should have to be registered with a national (or world-wide) “Money Offenders” registry — and shouldn’t be allowed to move into any new neighborhood until all the neighbors are warned first.
PS: You wouldn’t let a drug addict run your bank, your country, your army, your food industry or your health insurance, would you? You wouldn’t fawn over and try to please a junkie or think that glue-sniffers are your social superiors or better than you? Probably not. Yet every single day we turn almost everything we hold dear over to “money perverts”. Now does that really make any sense? Not to me!

From Bob Patterson: George W. Bush: Existentialist Extraordinaire: In the ranks of those who think that the universe is absurd and meaningless, it is logical to think that they would be the first to second the motion that George W. Bush deserves a place in the Existentialist Hall of Fame.
…Isn’t a part of Existentialism the “to be is to do” school of thought? If George W. Bush instinctively acted in an Existential way, without bothering to put “Being and Nothingness” on his famed reading list, then he was an Existentialist and thus eligible for membership in the Existentialists Hall of Fame.
…On the web site for Princeton University this definition of an existentialist: “a philosopher who emphasizes freedom of choice and personal responsibility but who regards human existence in a hostile universe as unexplainable.” So Bush and Cheney decide they gonna kick Saddam’s ass, they get a convenient excuse, they replace a Congressional Declaration of War with a clause in the doctrine of Executive Privilege, they replace the Chancellor-for-life title with Commander-in-Chief, and then when the war goes into extra innings, they hide behind a tsunami of “no one could have possibly forseen” bullshit, and if that doesn’t fit the definition of Existentialist, then this columnist had better start singing the song with the line about “gimme three steps towards the door.”…

Regarding Mantak Chia’s book, “Awakening Healing Energy Through Tao: This book clearly describes two meditation exercises to improve the flow of chi through the energy circuits in the body. The first involves sending positive energy to your internal organs and other structures so that they can function better. The second is the “microcosmic orbit,” a very ancient practice which moves energy in a circular motion up the spine, over the head, down the front of the body, and back up the spine. At the end of this exercise the chi is then focused in the Tan Tien center, right below the navel. http://www.amazon.com/Awaken-Healing-Energy-Through-Tao/dp/0943358078.

From Steve Fournier: A class war is under way, the people are losing, and the laws are powerless to help. Only a mass movement to radical change can restore our damaged republic. www.currentinvective.com

From Mohammed: Here’s a short film by Yoni Goodman, entitled “Closed Zone,” that expresses the feeling of frustration and lack of freedom that pervades Gaza (less than two minutes and worth your time).

Please sign my petition to stop Congressional lobbyists from owning our country:
Constitutional Amendment to Stop Lobbyists: Congress has spent the last few decades avoiding enacting a decent election reform law. Let’s help Congress along by demanding a Constitutional Amendment that will require political candidates to take ONLY $500 or less in campaign contributions from any given person or organization.
It’s time for lobbyists to stop owning our government.
We can do this!
