It's almost done? - 3 March 2007
Mar. 4th, 2007 02:37 amToday was a day of not much. No work done, a good time had, bowling (two games worth - 124 and 126. I found a 14-pound ball, and that weight works best with me. Also was throwing a lot more strikes, which is very nice.) After that, relaxation... although I had to go and plug the router in again because the plug had fallen just so in that there was no power being sent. If the thing had three-prong plugs, it would be nice, but it does not, and I don’t have any two-prong extension cords. This house certainly has some quirks to it. Could probably stand to have an investment made in it to bring all the outlets up to three-prong. Among other things.
Anyway, incoming link raid. Take whatever cover you need, and enjoy the following...
Climate change and increasing amounts of high-powered weather events draw attention, and with them, various theories of how they come about. Hurricane Katrina may have been the result of firing a weather-engineering weapon, for example. To fix climate change, there are a myriad of solutions proposed. Alien technology that's been hidden from us by governments, for one.
The Postal Service may possibly get some conspiracy theory lined up against it when to help people not think about long waits, the clocks in the Fort Worth post office have been removed. Not that people don’t have their own timekeeping devices, of course.
Even the Swiss are getting interesting press, when a routine training exercise ended with soldiers accidentally crossing into Liechtensein. I’d say someone’s willing to craft a theory that says the Swiss are cracking on the neutrality facade, and that they’ve really been orchestrating everything behind the scenes.
There are, of course, then the things that make you wonder whether the conspiract theories are closer to truth than we think - the White House approving the firing of seven attorneys for not toeing the line on immigration and other matters, for example, or peering in at a conservative rally where Cindy Sheehan was called an idiot and John Edwards, Al Gore, and Michael Moore were described as homosexuals in less-than-PC terms. Mitt Romney was in attendance, as well, as an important speaker. Things like Focus on the Family and other conservative Christians calling for the head of a fellow evangelical who suggested that climate change should be taken seriously. And a three-part series suggesting that the United States does go after journalists that are not their own, (or maybe that are their own, just in the wrong place at the wrong time), and especially the ones for news agencies that we don't like. Sooo, the quote mentioned on this page about propaganda placement rings rather true for times past and present. Pieces like "Who'll Stop The War?", that says that there’s a disconnect between what we think happened in Vietnam and what history actually says, might be good examples of propaganda placement. What’s going into your head, citizen? And what are you analyzing from it?
And because I couldn’t resist a potshot at some woo-making machines, the Bio-Cleanse purports to be a great detoxification device. Using ionic fields, no less. Even just as a foot bath device. Woo, d00d! How many people would buy something like this, though?
Getting off the conspiracy kick, in Mexico City, a nearly ninety-five mile long underground river has been found. Wonder if people will start making a new sport that combines spelunking with canoeing or diving. For 95 miles, though, that would definitely be a long dive.
LA Weekly steps into the life of a Muslim in America, and we see that while there may be some similar things, some American Muslims are less inclined toward the Saudi conservative schools. Dangers of monolithic thinking and all that. You guys know the drill by now.
For those looking to calm a bit or take a different look at their spiritual practice (or maybe it’s the same thing, just different people), practice at listening for God and writing what derives from it (which is a bit like some other, New-Age like practices of going for inspiration and journal-keeping), and some new ideas for monks and monasticism, which include thinks like making space for married couples along with celibate priests (including the laity in your practice is a good thing, from what I hear).
Last, here’s a possibly interesting bit - We Feel Fine is a system that archives and generates views off of emotions expressed in blog posts. So I wonder waht the visual representation of our feelings are. Do we really feel fine?
As things are, that’s all we’ve got for tonight. Go to bed, if you’re still up reading this live.
