On Friday August 25th, I conducted an experiment. I spent the day answering political questions with nothing but short sound-bites of fundamentalist rhetorical dogma, as opposed to my more common long-winded (some say, boring) philosophical sermons about tolerance. Many people emailed me asking what had happened to me. But several also brought to light an interesting question...

What is more important to you, the message or the person speaking it? If someone you trust says something that you find offensive, how often do you take it at face value just because of who said it? Or if someone that you despise happens to say something you would agree with (had anyone else said it), do you accept their statement because you agree with the message, or reject it because you don't like the speaker?

What influences you more, the message or the speaker?

I just heard where Vice-Emporer (and oilthief) Dick Cheney, demands that in the hotels (undisclosed locations he hides in), are to have "the beds turned down, a particular brand of bottled water (maybe he's afraid some workin' stiff will poison him) and the "Faux News Channel" TURNED ON for him... the lazy ba$tard can't even operate his own remote control!!!!!!!

With gas prices and oil money being used by terrorist, and with the Earth naturaul resources slowly being used up. Would it not be smart to look in to other way of producing power? That are not coal or gas related but something that we and use over and over again. What do you think is it a good Idea or do you have something that you think need to be looked into more. If so should the county push thing in that dicertion.

Was 9-11 a strike on our way of life as some claim or an attack on American hegemony?
David Rockefeller, grandson of one of America's richest men in the world, oil refiner John D. Rockefeller, was the brain child of the World Trade Center.
As chairman of the Chase Bank, David Rockefeller was an important figure in international business and extended his family banking empire world wide.
The Rockefeller family's influence in world affairs has been significant and far reaching. There has been nothing in the world since the election of William McKinley that the Rockefellers have not played a major role. Including the 1913 tax amendment, created to guarantee the loans of American banks to other countries, backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. government.
What must he have thought as he watched the twin towers collapse from his office?

What is the government really doing for you? Protecting you from terra?
Is that all we want?
Are we that stupid that we are willing to ignore everything else going on here at home and just allow them to continue raking in the money on this war on terra?

The Iraq war is the work of Cheney & Rumsfeld. The capture of the career civil service is pure Cheney. The disciplining of Congress is the work of Cheney & Rove. The turning over of energy policy to the oil companies is Cheney. The extreme secrecy is Cheney & Attorney General Alberto Gonzales.

Question is...
Does Bush get new coloring books or are they
forcing him to finish "My Pet Goat" first?
