1. Earth supplied the NATURAL components needed to have life happen here.

2. Life is a GEOLOGIC process. Biology is a natural outcome of geology.

2a. Life uses energy and chemistry to process organic and inorganic chemicals. Life is most essentially digesting the planet Earth and the potential energy provided by Earth's chemistry.

3. That's Life.

4. Monkeys obey the golden rule. They are social primates. They do unto others (pick lice for one thing), as they would have others do unto them (pick lice for one thing). Monkeys (and humans) are social primates, DEPENDENT AND RELIANT on each other.

5. The GOLDEN RULE IS BUILT IN to human-kind. Any charlatan can claim it for his or her own, as it is built-in! This fact may be one more than can be contained in a "true-believer"'s head, but morality comes built into humans, almost all of us act "right" almost all the time.

6. Humans and our technology evolved to dig up oil which is just what is needed for the next stage of life's evolution on the planet.

7. Humans have served their function and will be recycled into the ever active treadmill of chemicals and geologic processes that fluxes upon the Earth at all times.

8. “Live long and die off!”

Using "GOD" in advertising, is it "beyond the pale"?

I can understand the church's concerns. Is a "blasphemous" image of Christ (or video, worse yet) to be ignored?

On the other hand, the idea of Christ...Man-God, Virgin Birth, Mithras coincidence, no historical record, rewrite and selection of liturgy in Nicea, walked on water...perhaps isn't something the church ought to be so defensive of in the first place!


Pot-bellied Jesus ad irks Church
By Frances Harrison BBC religious affairs reporter

Catholic bishops in Belgium have protested against a TV ad depicting Jesus as a pot-bellied hippy picking up half-naked women in a nightclub.

The advertisement is being aired on the country's main TV channel to promote youth channel Plug TV.

The Catholic Church says this sort of portrayal of Jesus is disrespectful to believers and that it is wrong to use him for advertising.

However, Plug TV denies that the advertisement is blasphemous.

'Number one dad'

The ad shows a long-haired hippy Jesus grooving along as he tries to get into a nightclub and is refused entry by the bouncers.

Jesus makes the sign of the cross and sweeps aside the bouncers, shrinking them so they are left in his wake as dwarves.

This Plug TV version of Jesus then drinks whisky at the bar and magically turns two brown haired frumpy women into blonde babes wearing bikini tops and red horns.

The Jesus character then disappears into a huge limousine with the women but his attention is distracted by an advertisement for Plug TV before he is recalled by God who is standing on a cloud, wearing a T shirt with "Number one dad" written on it.

The God figure tells Jesus off for wanting to watch Plug TV as well as everything else - saying "you still want more".

The Catholic Church has expressed its disapproval to the TV channel - saying advertising is not the same as journalism and should not share the same concerns about freedom of expression.
The Church believes this advertisement "crosses the limits of respectability".

Plug TV however argues it is not blasphemous but contains a message about a "laid-back Jesus addressing youth".

An extraordinary statement in an article about OJ's memorabilia, and him stealing it back!

Simpson's new book, "If I Did It: Confessions of the Killer," was the top seller on amazon.com.

I may finally have to agree with O'Reilly. American "morals" have reached a new low.

He was referring to last week's Brittney Spear's middriff sighting worldwide on whatever awards show she shouldn't have been anywhere near.

It was even more awkward than Miss South Carolina's fumblings regarding America and South Africa, availability of maps, and education!

All of this is such "pop" culture that I'm not sure why it is here, except to show the state of most people's preoccupation, and it isn't with the health of the biosphere...


HEADLINE WE HAVEN'T SEEN BUT WE'VE LIVED:

Brittney Danced while the Earth Burned.

Just to tie it all up with another recent set of events:

Minneapolis is the nexus of the total collapse, literally and figuratively, of "American Culture".

First, the bridge collapse, not exactly a symbol, so much as the actualization of our rotted infrastructure.

(Spending tax money on roads and bridges would be providing a public good, so is not within Republican consciousness, and they've had control for the past 7 years...)

Then, Senator Craig is caught with his pants on in a toilet stall playing footsie with another patron and ADMITTING TO picking up toilet paper from the floor of a men's room...how weird is that?!?

Minneapolis, it is the low point of American Culture, both social and physical!

We can point to this date, as the crux of the beginning of the end of western civilization!!!

Larry Craig's Pants! ON!!!

Expressions from the Online Dating Scene

I'm on a particular dating site.

While reviewing various profiles I found the following gems, tonight:

can except me for who I am

I am multi dimentional in many ways.

love the beach at 5:30am but can dance until 3am.

Im a young, vibrant 45 yr. old

A job is a good thing for him to have.

Most importantly, he doesn't have to look as good in jeans as in an evening gown.

I love my work (and my days off), getting together with friends and family, love my kids and dog (not necessarily always in that order) do things I enjoy.

Interested in traveling, quite times at home and "exploring" the city!

He should also have a social conscious (believes in helping others) and is kind to animals!

is open to the fact that I do not eat meat (I eat fish)... But... I don't mind if he does!

I have had the good fortune of exploring the world we live in

not intimidated by a woman who is self assured and passionate.

i want someone who enjoys spending time together, but who can have a life of there own.

"One more baby means one more tomb!" China Changing Child Controls

China Bans Crude Birth Control Slogans August 5, 2007 - 5:10am

BEIJING (AP) - China's top family planning agency has cracked down on crude and insensitive slogans used by rural authorities to enforce the country's strict population limits, state media said Sunday.

Slogans such as 'Raise fewer babies but more piggies,' and 'One more baby means one more tomb,' have been forbidden and a list of 190 acceptable slogans issued by the National Population and Family Planning Commission, the official Xinhua News Agency reported.

Such slogans are often found painted on roadside buildings in rural areas.

China's 28-year-old family planning policy limits most urban couples to just one child and allows some families in the countryside to have a second child if their first is a girl. Critics say it has led to forced abortions, sterilizations and a dangerously imbalanced sex ratio due to a traditional preference for male heirs, which has prompted countless families to abort female fetuses in hopes of getting boys.

The Chinese government contends that the one-child policy has helped prevent at least 300 million births _ about the size of the U.S. population _ and aided China's recent, rapid economic development.

Xinhua said slogans such as "Houses toppled, cows confiscated, if abortion demand rejected," threatened to undermine China's efforts to keep the population under control.

Examples of authorized slogans include "Mother earth is too tired to sustain more children" and "Both boys and girls are parents' hearts," it said.

The commission said some slogans left the impression that the government was "simply forcing people to give up having more babies, causing misunderstanding (of) the policy and even tarnishing the image of the government," Xinhua reported.

The Olympians: Following their dream!

Humans dream.

We sleep for one third (if we’re lucky!) of our lives, and some of that time we spend dreaming.

What is a dream anyway?

Our dreams are difficult to characterize. Nothing concrete about them. We can only compare each other’s descriptions, as there is no “evidence” of dreaming except our own testimony.

Personally, I think dreams are but a “shadow” or an “artifact” of what is really happening, chemical processes that are required for brain and body maintenance.

Memories of dreams, even ones we awaken from and relate in great detail, are ephemeral at best, and ought not be relied upon to make life changing decisions.

However, when your spouse let’s you know that long dead grandma spoke in a dream last night, what do you do with that information?
