“Section 36. Whoever wilfully blasphemes the holy name of God by denying, cursing or contumeliously reproaching God, his creation, government or final judging of the world, or by cursing or contumeliously reproaching Jesus Christ or the Holy Ghost, or by cursing or contumeliously reproaching or exposing to contempt and ridicule, the holy word of God contained in the holy scriptures shall be punished by imprisonment in jail for not more than one year or by a fine of not more than three hundred dollars, and may also be bound to good behavior.”
So baby Jesus was totally railing this hooker one day, when the Ghost of Princess Di showed up and…

This is an interesting idea: http://www.opednews.com…
“Citizen discontent with 911 has been expressed in a number of public opinion polls. One of the most shocking surveyed citizens of New York City. The little reported August, 2004 Zogby Poll found that “Half of New Yorkers Believe US Leaders Had Foreknowledge of Impending 9-11 Attacks and “Consciously Failed.” National surveys also show substantial skepticism about the efforts of “US Leaders.”
Other concerns of the strike include areas of strong public skepticism. As of August, 2007, 64% of Americans oppose the Iraq War and a majority says it should never have happened in the first place. Massive violations of civil rights are occurring with the aid of the U.S. Department of Justice, as reported by its former voting rights head. Confidence in the legitimacy of the Bush government has been voiced in polls in Pennsylvania and in a national sample of registered voters. Both Zogby polls showed that tens of millions of Americans have little faith in the fairness and results of the 2004 presidential election.
Reflecting the disquiet of the American public, Bush popularity is in free fall. As low as 26% approval in recent polls, his decline has been steady and unending since the peak after the 9/11 attacks (with an odd spike on Election Day 2004).
The strike campaign argues that these and other issues rarely covered in any depth by nearly all of the corporate media leave only one move for citizens - a general strike to protest the policies plus the lack of recognition and response.”

Speaking of vampires in New York City:
- Command center? How much did it cost? Well, let’s not use it…
- Scoop and dump folks, scoop and dump…
- Just call me FDR…
- So that is what a police state looks like…
What do those little bits mean? You’ll have to read the article!!!

I’m a big believer in avoiding debt, never really before having a choice in the matter…not that I’m doing a wildly successful job of it at the moment…

Reefer Madness: or, cause ≠ effect. Or, if the government tells you something, it can’t possibly be true.








So a bible burning would be a bad thing???????
I liked that article about avoiding debt. Currently I do many of those things already…which explains why I am such a slow shopper. While shopping (for clothes or shoes or even groceries) I constantly have this war going on in my head…do I really need it, is it really worth $x amount, can I live without it?, etc, etc. I’ve always had this problem and the more I read about consumerism the worse my problem gets.
Well, I guess it’s not a bad problem to have…I actually get a bit of comfort knowing that I am not cluttering up my life with all kinds of junk I don’t need…and I’m saving myself money to boot!
Anyway, it’s a good article.
