A Few Simple Truths.

1) The effects of cumulative, baseless harassment and the rigors of life over time can cause trauma and warp the mind.
It does not mean that the essence of the person within has changed.

2) It can cause Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder, especially with the reverberating, paranoia and anxiety-inducing effects of cybernetic implants.

Ever hear someone call into a radio show and neglect to turn down their radio in the background?

It is a similar concept.

Throw marijuana into the mix with a battered brain, and you are just asking for a projectile vomiting session.

Why?

There is reason for concern when people assume God-like attributes and abilities without the perfect, trustworthy character and motives of God himself.

With God, both your pain and prayers are private, and there is no reason to be anxious at all.
He will not sell your information to a third party, and there is no reason to ever think worst case scenario.

The brain is fine as is.
You were not meant to be naked or tweaked with.

Mark 7:14-23

"Stand Up!"

When I was a young child, I went to a local water park with my summer recreation program group.
With all sorts of reservations in my mind, I finally decided to take a trip down the water slide.

The employee at the top would wait a good ten seconds, then send the next rider down, as to give each person ample time to reach the pool at the bottom without interfering or colliding with each other.

I must have had bad luck, and for three different reasons.

When I finally heard the word "Go," I joyfully commenced my journey down the inclined slide.
Instead of sliding and gliding like a pad of butter in a hot pan, due to the material of my swimming trunks, my butt stuck to the slide like a Velcro shoe strip.

(Strike one.)

I started pushing myself like a skier with both hands to gain some speed, but it wasn't helping much.
I turned around, and much to my chagrin, the employee at the top of the slide wasn't paying much attention to me and my total lack of momentum and speed.

(Strike two.)

In his complete negligence, he waited his usual ten seconds and sent down the next rider, who just happened to be some dude whom I did not know.

At this point, he is gaining on me, and I am pushing quite a bit faster, trying to reach the pool at the bottom.

I didn't make it.

About a foot or two before the edge of the pool, I was kicked headlong into the pool by a screaming man.
I didn't know how to swim.

(That would be strike three.)

I was kicking and thrashing hysterically in the shallow water for a good ten seconds.
The lifeguard, who had seen the entire incident, had rushed over and grabbed me by the underarms and lifted me upright.

He said "Stand up!"

I realized that I was not going to drown, I was in no danger, and I stopped the hysterics and stood up.

9/11 and Other Assorted Things.

I would like to plug another site of mine, 911revisited.blogspot.com.

I cannot recall the password to re-upload the .pdf file, so you will have to search for it on the internet yourself.

I would also like to point out an edit in my "Identity" entry, due to a misunderstanding.
Sorry about that.

Guns.

I find it necessary to chime in on this whole gun debate after the tragedy at Sandy Hook last month, and the ensuing rush to opportunistically enact gun controls in American society.

Everyone (mainly, but not exclusively the left) jumped all over Wayne LaPierre of the NRA for even suggesting that schools have armed guards on duty throughout the country, but the thing that I find most interesting is the blatant hypocrisy coming out of Washington D.C.

David Gregory, moderator of Meet the Press, however, conveniently failed to mention that he sends his children to a school staffed with 11 security guards, all presumably armed, in the nation's capitol. The President's children also attend the school, so there is a Secret Service presence at the school as well. So why did Gregory mock LaPierre's suggestion? Are his children, Hollywood's children, or anyone else's children more precious than yours? Why should there be a double standard?

Another hypocritical thing is Jamie Foxx (I love you, man. But I gotta go there.) popping  up in the ad after starring as a bounty hunter in Quentin Tarantino's new film "Django Unchained." If he feels so strongly about the subject, he would forfeit all of his proceeds from the film to a charity of his choice, such as to rehabilitation for victims of gun violence, or to supporting victim's families of gun violence. I don't think it's going to happen.

People want to blame violent television shows and movies.
People want to blame violent video games.
Maybe a "culture of violence" does exist to some extent, but I do not believe that is the culprit.

Rome had gladiators, and children didn't go around hacking each other to pieces or thrusting spears through each other for sport before committing suicide.

In many ways, society as a whole is just depraved, evil, and perverted, and this is the ultimate copycat crime for some sick, twisted reason with 24 hour news networks and internet news sites who are willing to give these people the infamy they desire after going down in a suicidal and homicidal hail of gunfire.


I do not blame guns any more than I blame cars for drunk driving accidents.

Another major issue, unfortunately (even still, in 2013) is the stigma, ostracization, and ignorance surrounding mental illness. Even still, television shows and movies portray people with mental illnesses as something less than human, and unnecessarily often something to be feared. Veterans returning home after enduring and witnessing some jarring things during long deployments in the field with PTSD? They're "unstable ticking time bombs." Name-calling, stigmatization, and cashing in on trite stereotypes to sell tickets to cheesy movies isn't going to help. Paying attention to mental health services and encouraging our friends and loved ones to seek help will.Things like Schizophrenia, PTSD, or Bipolar Disorder are not contagious, nor will you catch them from someone else sneezing on you, or from sharing the same glass as someone else.

The list of injustices is long and unacceptable in this, the supposed Information Era.
Where is all the information?

There is no other explanation.
People's spirits are sick, and as a result, society is dysfunctional.
It's happened before.
