[[ 65 ]] FINGER POINTING?

This one goes out to the theists who would engage in sermonizing and finger-pointing... instead of actually reaching out to other human beings in a more constructive way.

I'm not going to say much to that.
And this video? It's brief -- and entertaining, if not also educational.
But please, review and process it as you wish. This highlights one of the many things we could have talked about.

Meanwhile, I understand that not all theists are like this guy. I'm not making assertions about anyone, your faith or your capacity to have good intentions.
But I am asking you to review your own actions through a perspective that has attempted to be respectful and positive as a general policy. Review my posts and that should be evident.

Even if I agreed with your theological outlook, I'd advocate that you try a less negative approach if you're truly wishing to demonstrate your beliefs to other people. Zealot-like behavior only makes you sound as irrational as this caller, and ultimately complicates your divine mission.

Regarding atheists and a better understanding of how we arrive at our morality -

If your morals don't agree with the practice of slavery as a moral choice, but you do claim to endorse the Bible as 100% the word of God, then -- how do you account for that?

Have your Affections and Reasoning turned you into your own god?



Yes, Raptor-meme. Yes they did. 
And they always will. 

[[ 64 ]] NET NEUTRALITY

                       

Once again…  the big corporations and government bullies are trying to leash the internet.

SOPA be damned. Anymore - it seems like the greatest threat to American freedom is the American government and the Corporate whores that sleep with them.

Put simply: lobbyists for the big cable companies have managed to 'influence' legislation which allows internet service providers to throttle bandwidth (and more), favoring those who pay big dollars for priority access. 

So if you’re visiting MSN or FOXNews.com – you’ll be fine. Perhaps not terribly well informed, but still able to spoon feed fast and easy.  

However, if you’re digging around in the back alleyways and small watering holes of the internet for the non-sponsored stuff, as I like to do --- you might be slowed down. Hung up. 

Or …shut off altogether. Unable to access. 

Not right away, but never think that’s not the plan.  It is.

Brother, when a man’s slated to die of dehydration... thirst is the first sign that he’s in trouble.

Get thirsty enough and you’ll drink whatever they pour down your throat, America.

‘Net Neutrality” is the term designated for those of us who feel that the internet should remain as it is: access is equal for everyone. 

I'm simplifying of course. 

In the video below, Lee Presser breaks it down in just three minutes. Take a look ---

So … as much as it pains me to sign another damned petition, I’m asking that you sign this one with me. Click Here to visit the petition page.

Oh … and keep in mind.  Ever since there's been an internet, it's been ‘Net Neutral’.  Yup.  

Worked out well enough, I’d say. 

So - who stands to gain from changing things now?

Hmmm…

- C.D.

THIS would not be good --- 

Talk about trying to mislead the public and wag the dog...

[[ 63 ]] I Can Only Win Today

                               

Today, I won.

Driving to work this morning on wintry roads... my vehicle hit a patch of ice and spun out, sliding across three lanes of busy traffic. I narrowly missed ramming another driver - and was slipping across the road toward a guard rail when I finally managed to bring the car safely to a stop.
No damage. Didn't hit anything or hurt anybody. I pulled back into the right lane and continued on to work.

Today.  This time.   This time, I won.   I get to go home and have another day.

Maybe next time.. - I'm not so lucky.
Or maybe next time.. it's you. Or somebody you would hate to lose too soon.
                     


Don't wait, people. 
Don't wait to champion Love; make it right today.

Winning lasts a day. Regrets? A lifetime. 

- C.D.

     

Speed: Racing hasn't changed... and it never will.

Racer X: It doesn't matter if racing never changes. What matters is if we let racing change us. Every one of us has to find a reason to do this. 
You don't climb into a T-180 to be a driver. You do it because you're driven.
