Is Regime Change Possible In Iran & What Is A Dirty Bomb?

Is Regime Change Possible In IRAN?

First of all, Iran is an Islamic ruled country. And this is also the constitution of that country.

Most Iranians are quite content with the supreme Mullah or Ayatollah, the spiritual leader at the helm, or Head Of State. And this position is also sanctioned by the constitution of that country.

Also Iranians by and large, will accept changes for a gradual secular state, with Islamic Laws as the guiding principles for national morality. But they would also like to have freedom of the Press, the Internet, Public Discourse, Politicking, Freedom of the Radio, and Freedom to agitate for Socio-Political changes too.

So any nation or political leader in any western democracy who would like REGIME change in Iran, must consider all of the above variables, before even contemplating agitating for this change with the Iranians.

Prime Minister Ahmadinejad is not the foremost political power in Iran. He is merely the elected Leader of the Parliament and government there. The Real Power of the state lies in the office of the Supreme Ayatollah.

What Is A Dirty Bomb vs A Clean Bomb?

As far as I understand, they are both destructive, and intended to kill humans. So whoever believes that a dirty bomb is something to be feared, and a clean bomb is all right. They must be SENILE!

Because these bombs were designed for war. And war is about killing humans. And killing humans is the mission of those who are intent on having their way with others, gaining some form of international respect, according to their view. Or for acquiring resources that they need from that state of region, they are so engaged with in war.

Therefore, let no one try to make you believe that dirty bombs are only used, built, or sought after, by terrorists. Because that is a BLATANT lie. Most modern and developed nations have dirty bombs, or would like to acquire some, for their own reasons.

And in so doing, these bombs are supposed to give them some leverage, or security, against perceived or eminent threats from some other nation, terrorist groups, or region.

SWEET JESUS CHOCOLATE SCULPTURE EXHIBIT:

March 30-2007:

SWEET JESUS Chocolate Sculpture!

ATTENTION:

When that Danish cartoonist published a male wearing a SHASH (Arab head scarf), with what looked like a lighted fuse, purported to be a terrorist. This comic figure was interpreted as an insult to the prophet Mohammed. Violence broke out throughout Europe. Followed by demonstrations through the middle east. Now, an artist has published a sculpture of 200 lbs chocolate of Jesus called (sweet Jesus), with his genitals showing.

The Catholic Arch Diocese resents this sculpture as an embarrassment to their saviour.

CONCLUSION:

I have always said, if you are willing to condone FREE expression when it suits you. So long as the expression does not interfere with your religious icons.
Then you must be prepared to ACCEPT free expression when it affects your Icons too!

MENINGITIS Vaccine To Be FREELY Distributed In Africa?

March 30-2007:

http://my.opera.com/BringBaka/

MENINGITIS Vaccine (BloBrix) -For FREE To Africa:

Definition of Meningitis:

Infectious disease characterized by inflammation of the meninges (the tissues that surround the brain or spinal cord), usually caused by a bacterial infection. Symptoms include headache, and stiff neck, fever and nausea:

Today the BBC news reported that the above vaccine will be given to Africa for FREE, to help prevent the deadly disease of Meningitis.
The pharmaceutical corporation that produces this vaccine does not want any profit from this venture in Africa. And this vaccine will be sold very cheaply locally,a in Africa.

So the questions to follow this now is, WHY AFRICA?

* Why is Africa and Africans to be the first to use this untried vaccine?

* And what about the adverse or side effects (if any), from this vaccine?

* And was there a trial before this vaccine was determined to be safe?

* And if there was a trial or trials, who were the volunteers?

* Were they African men and women, or Europeans?

* And should there be future complications from recipients of this vaccine, would they be compensated by the pharmaceutical corporation providing it?

* Or from the African state that allows its' distribution and application?

These questions need to be addressed, and made internationally known!

MY VIEWPOINT:

Question posted:

What action should be taken to get Iran to comply with the UN resolution, to release the fifteen British marines?

Hello Jack Cafferty-CNN:

This is history repeating itself once again!
However, I would support any day, some form of covert operation/effort by the British and American Special Forces, to gain access to those fifteen British marines.

And if possible extricate them from Iran.

Question posted by Lou Dobbs-CNN

Should The President Be Forced To Release All Requested Documents To The Committee That Investigates The Case Involving The Two Imprisoned Border Agents-Charged For Arresting A Mexican Drug Smugler At The Border.

My Viewpoint!

If necessary a subpoena should be issued to the President, if he refuses to release all related and relevant documents that the Congress requests, to assist them in the investigation of the two border patrol agents, that are currently incarcerated for arresting a drug Smugler at the border.

Child Labor Produced Chocolates!
BBC reported today that in the Ivory Coast (Africa), children are forced to seek employment in the Cocoa fields, earning at least one dollar a day for that back breaking work.
No industrial injurie's compensation is ever paid to those children, for any work related injuries either. And most of these children are taken out of school, or prevented from going there, in order to earn much need money for their parents.
Efforts are being made via a resolution from the UN, to force the Ivory Coast government to comply, with the international Human Rights Rules pertaining to the abolition of child labor.

The Ability To Live Much Longer!

March 28-2007:

http://my.opera.com/BringBaka/

Is The Ability To Live Much Longer Necessary-Regardless Of The Natural Process?

ATTENTION:

If it were possible for scientists to find the human gene that could be tweaked, to expand the life expectancy of someone indefinitely.
Can you imagine this being done at will, or on a huge scale.

What do you think may result from this ability?

* A larger percentage in global population growth.

* Thus creating grave food shortages for the poor or poorer countries.

* Wars between the richer and poorer countries may result from this disparity much more.

* The lack of full employment possibilities for this ever growing population globally.

* And the inability of governments to provide homes, jobs, medical coverage, and social stability in countries with tendencies for dictatorships, and centralized rule.

CONCLUSION:

It seems like some geneticists are feverishly working towards that possibility!

The 200Th Anniversary Of The British Slave Trade:

March 26-2007:

http://internationalpoliticalissues.blogspot.com/

The 200th Anniversary Of The British Slave Trading In Africa:

Today is the 200th anniversary of the British Slave Trade, and the three million Africans from GHANA who were brought to the West Indies, and The USA as slaves. While Britain enriched their coffers with the revenue from trading these human lives for whiskey, guns, and gun powder.

Today, they have the nerve and the effrontery to celebrate this memory with a memorial at The Westminster Abbey in London.

Let us Black peoples the world over, NEVER-NEVER-NEVER forget these willful atrocities done to our ancestors for money, conquest of our lands, and culture.

Today Britain, France, America, and other Caucasian nations are wealthy from this plunder, and is still reaping the returns from that investment centuries ago!

How Does A Nation Repent For Its' Wrong Doings?

March 25-2007:

http://internationalpoliticalissues.blogspot.com/

How Does A Nation Repent For The Wrongs It Has Done To Others?

For example:

Britain has ruled most of the world for thousands of years, enslaved Blacks, Indians, and other peoples of color for centuries. And has never paid any reparations for their deaths, and degradation.

France has also done similar things, when they were a conquering sea and land grabbing power. And no reparations were given to her victims or countries either. Which were raped of their mineral, human, and cultural resources.
Spain too was a sea power in her time. Enslaved the Americas with her hired plunderers, thieves, and Christian devils. Killed the Incas and Aztec peoples spirits, stole their gold, and forced them into accepting Christianity as their Primary Religion.

Germany under Adolph Hitler said they were the master race, and would rule for a thousand years. They barley made a thousand days, before the were defeated by a coalition of Caucasian cultures countries like themselves.
Britain no longer ruled the waves. And could barely save her Bottom, after the pounding that Hitler's forces gave them at home and abroad.

Then came the advent of The US industrial power machine. Which said in no uncertain terms to Winston Churchill. Role over bloke, and make room for the new Britannia.

And the killing took on a new face, a new protector, and a new frontier!

Senator John Edward's Wife Diagnosed With Cancer!

Sen. John Edward's Wife Diagnosed With cancer!

WORD-UP:

John Edwards, democratic contender for the presidency in 2008, has a serious situation currently.

His wife has been diagnosed with a very serious cancer! This was being discussed on CNN tonight, about the possibilities of this affecting her husband John, in his campaign, or even if he becomes president
Former president Ronald Reagon's wife Nancy, had cancer in one of her breasts while he was president.

I don't know if this knowledge was known to him, prior to his being elected president. But he had to cope with that reality, like any other husband whose wife had cancer.

So I do not see how this could seriously effect his presidency, if he is elected to that office.

Afterall, he would be the president, not his wife!

Should SEX Education Be Taught In The Churches?

March 22-2007:

http://thethingsthatmatter.blogspot.com/

Should Sex Education Be Taught In Church?

Tonight on Paula Zahum's show on CNN, I witnessed a clip about a preacher and his wife, telling followers that sex is okay to have. A clip on this subject as it was being delivered by these two individuals was shown, and her two hosts, a Christian male, and female Moslem asked to give their opinion oabout this clip.
The Moslem woman felt that sex education is good, even in a church situation, if people are encouraged to abstain from it until marriage. And that even though it is a natural act, it also has to be indulged in responsibly.

The male Christian felt that the preacher is using this message as a ploy, to lure people to his church. And he does not have a building either to do this work. And he feels that this is only a fad that will pass, like so many others before.
This Christian failed to realize that Jesus never had any building either, when he was conducting his ministry. He used the highways, byways, open pastures, or anywhere that people will listen.

However, they both felt that marriage is the place where sex should be indulged in, and experienced for what it is, even the pleasure aspect.

CONCLUSION:

Incidentally, historically marriage is sanctioned by the church between two people. A male and a female. But it developed legality several centuries later as a necessity, to ensure commitment, legal rights after one party dies, custody rights for the children, property ownership, titles, and other personal belongings of the deceased.

The SEAN Bell Murder Case Grand Jury's Decision-2007!

March 19-2007:

http://my.opera.com/BringBaka/

The Sean Bell Murder By NYC Police Officers & The Grand Jury's Decision!

WORD-UP:
The Sean Bell Murder Outcome:
* He was shot fifty times by the New York City Police, outside a night club recently.
* The case went before a Grand Jury that pronounced the following verdict:
* Three out of the five Cops were indicted for Manslaughter in The First degree.
* Sixty witnesses appeared before the court to give evidence, (quite unusual), in any realistic jurisprudence.
* Then in the last hour, a Latino witness appeared with supposed eyewitness information.
* This late declaration may have also influenced the jury's decision.
But that is speculative!

New York Police History:

The history of the New York City & State police departments have never indicted police officers with murder. And no Caucasian Police Officer was ever indicted or served imprisonment for any such crime. It seems historically that the NYC Police institution is able to operate or behave in such a manner on the job, that implies impunity to any charges or indictment.

This was evident in the case, (the Haitian national), who was physically abused, sexually violated, and suffered sever internal injuries at the hands of the NYC Police dept. Then the Somali national (Amadou Diallo-1999), who was sot six times at the stoop of his home by the NYC police. And in both cases, these officers got away with this injustice. Even though the evidence in both cases were enormous, and indictable for these cops.
So this Shawn Bell scenario/case is also treated with the same indulgence of Police brutality by the State, and Police Institution.

CONCLUSION:
It is a fact the Police Force or Institution was established historically to protect the rights, property, and interests of the Ruling Classes. In a capitalist environment, the mercantile communities, the political elite, and those in political and economic power positions are treated differently by the Police. Than those who are poor, dis-enfranchised, ignorant of the laws, or illegal.
That has always been the mentality of the Police Institution. So when an individual police officer commits a crime on or off the job. The institution offers him or her all the protection it can muster, frustrates legal representatives from getting prompt evidence or information that could help them in the prosecution process.
And behaves in such a manner that can be interpreted as 'we are above public scrutiny.'
And will do almost anything to protect or withhold evidence, that will incriminate one of their own.

GUYANA Moves Forward!

March 16-2007:

How Do We Caribbean Peoples Extricate Ourselves From Our Mental & Psychological Malaise?

Preface:
I have been seriously thinking about our social & economic reality. And the following thoughts came to mind. And which I am about to share with you.

Historically, the Asian and African peoples were brought to this region as Indentured or Contracted workers, and Slaves. When slavery was abolished in this region, the Indians were still living and tilling those lands that they occupied until then. The Blacks chose to leave these lands, because it reminded them of their terrible past in slavery on those lands. Instead they opted for the cities, and the low wage paying jobs that could be found there.

The Indians were less inclined to do so. Their lives in history were extremely poor, low caste, and disenfranchised. So this new reality, and possibly economic opportunity was something to be grasped. So they stayed on the lands, and in time, with monies accumulated from hard, and personal sacrifice from savings, they were able to purchase plots of land for personal tilling. And selling some of its' produce for personal needs and savings too.

In time, as the political climate and opportunities developed for both groups, the awareness that education was a necessity to gain self respect, social class, and economic opportunities were understood for what it is. The Blacks were already settled in the townships and cities mostly, already had this awareness, and some chose to have their children access these educational advantages. With Primary education as a public necessity and a state mandate. The Blacks were very keen on sending their children to school to get at least a Good Primary Educational foundation.

The Indians (by and large), did not see this need, especially those in the rural or agricultural areas. Because they needed their children to help on the farms and fields they owned or worked. And sending them off to school, would have impacted negatively on their ability to do that work efficiently, productively, and gainfully. So the Indian community was very slow in allowing their children to seek education, because as I said before, that was not an immediate priority.
When the British colonizers eventually left these domains, the cultural and economic void was quite obvious.

So Blacks in the main, benefited from this, along with the imported Chinese, and Portuguese indentures. The privately owned businesses of the Portuguese and Chinese, mostly employed those whose skin color were similar. So only those 'fair skinned' Blacks were given jobs in public view, or with minimal responsibilities. And these Blacks had to have some Secondary Education, very good grades, or had to be personally recommended by their priests, churches, or schools as credible.

So the 'divide and rule' to manage mentality was still being promoted in the region, even though the British was gone. The new educational elite, like those Guyanese and Trinidadian children who studied abroad, were given the top or better jobs in the region. Thus making them an elite unto themselves in the region. By virtue of their foreign exposure personally, they were thought to have more intelligence, know-how, and ability to manege. Young politicians were groomed from this corps of foreign educated elite. Thus setting the stage for the new political leadership in the region.

Because of the British policies in the region of 'Divide & Rule' in this region, the seeds of partition, racial or ethnic segregation, and sometimes partition begun. The local politicians used their unique and personal ethnicity, to lure or persuade their intended supporters to vote or support them in their quest for leadership in government, and governing this region. Thus began the history of the local Trade Union Leadership, and Political Leadership coming to the fore from these areas.

And finally culminating in the ethnic divide in appropriation of funding, services, economic growth and development, and political representation in the entire region of the Caribbean and the Americas.

How Can We Move Forward Economically?

It is my view that we will always have this ethnic suspicion and divide in the region, because of our history, and local political behaviors. It is also my view that the old timers will never be able to make that change in mentality, that is healthy for true unity, in diversity, that is needed to move forward. It is also my belief that foreign investment MUST be encouraged in the region. It is our only hope for growth. But when foreign investors come in, they must be advised to invest in all of these ethnic regions.

Some form or economic equity must be implemented, so that no group may feel dis-regarded, shut out, under-developed, or ignored. And all foreign investors must understand that employing all ethnic groups is a MUST, in order to maintain balance, ethnic diversity and economic opportunity for all in the region.

Who Will benefit From This Venture?

The people who will benefit primarily are the descendants of Trinidadians, Barbadians, and Guyanese. Yes, the children of those who left the region several years ago, to take up residence in the USA, Canada, the UK and else where. Their offspring, and those offspring who are willing to visit the region, settle there, invest there, and encourage others to do the same too.
That to my mind will be the beginning of REAL economic, social, and political changes in the region.

If You Are GAY Or Homosexual-Do Not Enlist Into The US Military!

March 13-2007:

http://my.opera.com/BringBaka/

Time To Admit That You Like Men Or Women Sexually-Or Don't Ever Go Into The US Military!

It seems like many Gay or Homosexual men and women still don't get it, when it comes to Self-identification or Admitting that they are sexually attracted to the same gender. And they enlist in the military, only to wake up one morning and find some buddy or sister, scrutinizing them for watching them a certain way, or for seemingly getting a 'Boner' when in the shower, or in the Billet or Barrack room

So many Gay or Homosexual men and women find themselves trapped, and cannot get out the US military, because they fooled themselves about their true sexual orientation and desires. When fellow buddies are asked what they did during 'Liberty,' they cannot say anything believable. Some or most do not socialize with fellow comrades during off times or Liberty, because questions are asked (especially among the men), about one's conquests, drinking bouts,or fraternizing with fellow female inmates, or at the local Pub.

So those who choose to lie about their sexcapades, discovers soon afterwards that enquiries were made by their buddies from the women they alleged to have had sex or romped with. Only to be told the negative. Then they are pressed to explain themselves convincingly, without stuttering.

*Most cannot do so.

* Most are not believable.

*And this leads to suspicion, rumor spreading, taunting, and excessive prying into their social behavior.

That is how they are found out mostly by fellow comrades. Some take pride in outing his or her suspicious barrack buddy, roommate, or platoon buddy.

Conclusion:
Now why would anyone want to experience this kind of humiliation, embarrassment, and possibly dis-honorable discharge from the military if found to be Gay? Only FOOLS make those decisions! Or is it misguided patriotism that cause most Gay or closeted Homosexuals to enlist in the US military?

Whatever it is, I strongly advise that Homos and closeted Homos, should think very seriously before taking that step towards enlistment. Because once you are able to get in UNDETECTED, you and you guilt, and conscience, have to deal with that reality on a daily basis. And that trauma is never healthy for anyone, much less an enlisted man or women in a military that does not approve or desire their service!

If You Are Gay Or Homo-Do Not Enlist Into The US Military!

I retired from the USN in year 2000 after 23 years of service.And I was gay from day one, served on ships and military hospitals. It's all about being smart, and keeping your business to yourself. Although, there are liers and cheats who suspected me and others were gay, and believe it or not, they lied about you to authorities in an attempt to expose you. Ya just gotta stand your ground and your sexuality, and your business.

While stationed on the USS AMERICA (CV-66) in 1983, the NIS (Naval Investigative Service) question crew members about suspected gays, and several times throughout my 3 year ship tour we were waken up without warning at ungodly hours (3AM), handcuffed, walked from your sleeping quarters through the passageway to the rear of the ship, embarrassed while being pushed pass other crew members.

The NIS would question us for hours, kinda like a Dick Tracy scene in the dark with a bright light in your face exactly like that. Unfortunately, many broke down and admitted their homosexuality. Me having been the strong one at 23 yrs old, many cried on my shoulders, one committed suicide and died.

Such NIS interrogation techniques are now illegal, and were actually illegal then. Therefore, joining the military can be an okay thing if you desire. I would have retired after 30 years vice 23 years, but I acquired diabetes and retired early, and at an E-9 rank. The military will screw you if you let them, and I am sensitive to this type of subject matter. At the end of every month Uncle Sam sends me that good 'ole retirement check (18K/yr), and I thank him from the bottom of my bank account. And for all of those haters of Gays for no good reason, Fuck you, I did my time, and you couldn't do it if you tried.

Unfair Labor Practices At Dunkin Donut!

March 13-2007:

TO: ny1.com

From: derryck@myway.com
Greenwich Village
New York City.

Exploitation Of Labor At A Dunkin Donut Outlet:

Attention:

It was brought to my attention recently that workers of The Dunkin Donut Outlet, situated at Christopher St. & 7th Avenue, Greenwich Village, Manhattan, New York City, are being deprived of their TIPS in that outlet.
Upon enquiry into this mater, I was told by several workers or employees of that facility, that the daily TIPS received from customers, are collected by the Supervisor on duty every day, kept until the end of the work week, then distributed to the workers un-equally.

And very often, the workers are not given their TIPS at all!
These monies are then distributed to those who may or may not have worked the same hours, or may not have been targeted by the customer/s, who would have identified or given certain employees TIPS, in gratitude for good service to them. It was also told to me that the employees are never allowed to accept TIPS directly from customers. But the TIPS are placed into a container visibly displayed on the counter, for the customer/s to put their TIPS into.

Some workers are given un-equal amounts of TIPS, and does not reflect the historical concept of how TIPS should be dealt with. I understand that in most Restaurants, Take-outs, and other Eateries in New York City, there is a system where employees are given ALL of the TIPS collected on a daily basis.

But at this Dunkin Dunut outlet, the management gives TIPS to those whom it pleases. Thus causing some employees never to get any. And dependant upon if he or she is favoured by the Supervisor on duty at the time.

I shall be most grateful for your enquiry into this "Unfair Labor Practice" at this facility, as soon as possible.

America & Their Ridicule Of Nerds:

March 07-2007:

Americans & Their Ridicule Of Nerds!

Reference article copied below:

ATTENTION:
I read the article copied below these comments. And I have a few comments to make about the Gist of that story.
Except for the GOD element that was mentioned, in terms of how these two individuals met, bonded, and became friends. I do not believe in that concept or influence.

I believe in 'Cause & Effect This universe in based on the spiritual or invisible workings of cause and effect. All actions, thoughts, and expressions, affect the entire universe, and results in certain concomitant re-actions. The Buddhist calls it KARMA, the Hindus call it Dharma, etc.

However, with regard to the youngster referred to as a "NERD" in this article. Let me tell you about that concept from another cultural perspective.
In Guyana (my Homeland), and the Caribbean, so called NERDS (as you Americans call them), are revered, in our cultures. Yes, we love to see studious and intelligent children, with the ability to show excellence, scholarship, and brilliance. We do not reproach such individuals in our cultures. In fact, our parents and grandparents would love to know they have a son or daughter who is brilliant, or very intelligent.

It is the wherewithal for economic opportunities in the world of work. It also brings great admiration and respect to the family whose son or daughter is brilliant, or scholarly. Because Black people must realize that the Whites or Europeans have been telling our people over the centuries, that we were less than them, not educable, or does not have the brain or ability for excellence.

So when a brother or sister shows brilliance or scholarship among our peoples, we languish that feeling, and praise them for their abilities!
Something Black Americans aught to emulate, and not denigrate among each other. Until Black & Latino Americans change their attitudes about education, or intelligence, the ASIANS and other Foreign Brains, will continue to be the ones in authority. The Power in Business, and the one's who Black and Latino Americans will always have to seek employment from, and do the low level jobs available.

Because of their lack of scholarship!

American's Ridicule Of Nerds:

Let's see if you send it back. We all know or knew someone like this! One day, when I was a freshman in high school, I saw a kid from my class was walking home from school. His name was Kyle. It looked like he was carrying all of his books. I thought to myself, "Why would anyone bring home all his books on a Friday?

He must really be a nerd."

I had quite a weekend planned (parties and a football game with my friends tomorrow afternoon), so I shrugged my shoulders and went on. As I was walking, I saw a bunch of kids running toward him. They ran at him, knocking all his books out of his arms and tripping him so he landed in the dirt. His glasses went flying, and I saw them la nd in the grass about ten feet from him.

He looked up and I saw this terrible sadness in his eyes
My heart went out to him. So, I jogged over to him and as he crawled around looking for his glasses, and I saw a tear in his eye. As I handed him his glasses, I said, "Those guys are jerks. "

They really should get lives. " He looked at me and said, "Hey thanks!" There was a big smile on his face. It was one of those smiles that showed real gratitude. I helped him pick up his books, and asked him where he lived.
As it turned out, he lived near me, so I asked him why I had never seen him before. He said he had gone to private school before now. I would have never hung out with a private school kid before. We talked all the way home, and I carried some of his books. He turned out to be a pretty cool kid. I asked him if he wanted to play a little football with my friends. He said yes.

We hung out all weekend and the more I got to know Kyle, the more I liked him, and myfriends thought the same of him.

Monday morning came! , and there was Kyle with the huge stack of books again. I stopped him and said, "Boy, you are gonna really build some serious muscles with this pile of books everyday!

He just laughed and handed me half the books. Over the next four years, Kyle and I became best friends. When we were seniors, we began to think
about college.

Kyle decided onGeorgetown , and I was going to Duke. I knew that we would always be friends, that the miles would never be a problem. He was going to be a doctor, and I was going for business on a football scholarship. Kyle was valedictorian of our class. I teased him all the time about being a nerd. He had to prepare a speech for graduation. I was so glad it wasn't me having to get up there and speak. Graduation day, I saw Kyle. He looked great.

He was one of those guys that really found himself during high school. He filled out and actually looked good in glasses. He had more dates than I had and all the girls loved him. Boy, sometimes I was jealous. Today was one of those days.
I could see that he was nervous about his speech. So, I smacked him on the back and said, "Hey, big guy, you'll be great!"

He looked at me with one of those looks (the really grateful one) and smiled. " Thanks," he said. As he started his speech, he cleared his throat, and began "Graduation is a time to thank those who helped you make it through those tough years. Your parents, your teachers, your siblings, maybe a coach...but mostly your friends...

I am here to tell all of you that being a friend to someone is the best gift you can give them. I am going to tell you a story." I just looked at my friend with disbelief as he told the story of the first day we met. He had planned to kill himself over the weekend. He talked of how he had cleaned out his locker so his Mom wouldn't have to do it later and was carrying his stuff home. He looked hard at me and gave me a little smile. "Thankfully, I was saved.

My friend saved me from doing the unspeakable." I heard the gasp go through the crowd as this handsome, popular boy told us all about his weakest moment. I saw his Mom and dad looking at me and smiling that same grateful smile. Not until that moment did I realize it's depth. Never underestimate the power of y our actions. With one small gesture you can change a person's life.

For better or for worse. God puts us all in each other's lives to impact one another in some way.

Look for God in others. You now have two choices, you can:

1) Pass this on to your friends or

2) Delete it and act like it didn't touch your heart.

As you can see, I took choice number 1. "Friends are angels who lift us to our feet when our wings have trouble remembering how to fly." There is no beginning or end.. Yesterday is history. Tomorrow is mystery. Today is a gift.

It's National Friendship Week. Show your friends how much you care. Send this to everyone you consider a FRIEND.

END.

The GOTHIC Personality Trait:

WordUP:

The GOTHIC Personality:

Have you ever wondered why so many predominantly White youths seem interested in Gothic art, art forms, and the Gothic genre.
Well, the word GOTHIC is defined as those things related to doom, gloom, the macabre, superstitions, the dark, sinister, and grotesque.

And why does so many White youths, both male and female find it so appealing, to want to live a certain life style that says graphically, that they are Gothic believers, contributors, and supporters of things Gothic.

Does this mentality evolve subtly within the minds of this particular group, or is it something that was learned, or adopted?

Whatever it is, I am always interested to know why so many youths are drawn to this seeming life style.

Preface:
It was discovered that some US soldiers in Iraq & Afghanistan get a thrill or a high from killing people.

A Warrior Nation & Its' Armada Of Killers!

This article has some very true and profound opinions of several fighting men in Afghanistan, Iraq, and all those places where the US has it's military encamped, and pursue it's policies of aggression. The military of this nation is not supposed to get involved in National Politics. That is why the Commander In Chief is a civilian. So that a military coup may never happen!

Fighting G.I.'s are expected to defend this nation when called upon to do so. The rationale for making war is questionable at times, but any protest for or against any war that the USA's military forces are involved in, or contemplates, must never be taken lightly, or for granted by the commonweal. For after all, it is our sons and daughters who will be called upon to sacrifice their lives and limbs in this exercise. So whenever war is contemplated by the occupier of The White House and the Defense Dept., it is expected that all Americans should be adequately informed about that possibility, and have a say via the Congress, whether that proposal warrants taking such a decision.

The US marines incidentally, are specially trained to KILL America's perceived enemies. Whenever the marines are called upon to intervene at home or abroad, it is for that specific purpose. It is more likely for a recruit of the US Army, Navy, or Air force to rationalize the purpose for which he or she is called upon to serve But a marine is not expected to ever think that way, or to question any decision for their involvement in any war. That is why they are referred to as "The Tip Of The Spear." That simply means that they are the ones who will be sent into a combat zone first, to remove any threat, via killing them, abduction, or destruction.

Whatever it takes to get the job done!

Drug & Alcohol Addiction For Homeless/Gay Men!

Drug & Alcoholic Addiction For Young/Homeless Gay Men!

Historically, many Gay men have had a history of alcohol, drugs, and other substance usage. It is triggered primarily from the social, societal, home pressures or abuses (verbal and physical), the inability to feel needed, and wanted for who they are, etc.

And have caused many Gay men to visit the Bars on weekends and get wasted mostly. It is also the place where you will find several Out Gay Men, your age, willing and ready to sleep with you, especially when intoxicated. Enjoy each other's company for the few hours there, and feel a sense of belonging. Even though this comraderie is fleeting, and sometimes even dangerous. It is what most young and not so young Gay men depend upon as their social life, or for socializing with other Gay men.

For those Gay men young and older, who do not drink alcohol, smoke cigarettes, do reefers or marijuana, or shoot up drugs. These places are a No-No for them. And they very often have a problem in finding suitable places to hang out, that caters to Gay men period. Much less those who are clean, use no drugs, and is not Christian, or practicing any religious belief. Staying drug free is not easy from most young Gay men. Especially those from another state of city, the homeless, the sexually abused, and the runaways.

Some of these young Gay men never had a good primary education, and most did not stay in school long enough to graduate with a High School Diploma, or GED certificate. Prostitution is what most of them who are homeless do to survive from day to day. Some are killed, raped, introduced to Escorting for a living, get hooked up with a Pimp, or becomes a Sex Slave until arrested, imprisoned, or end up dead. Gay life for most of these men and women are a day to day drama. Fights, shop-lifting, selling Rocks/Crack, or stealing to eat or shoot up, is what they do to survive.

Most of these young Gay men and women will never be able to have, enjoy, or commit themselves to any meaningful relationship with anyone, after living on the streets for a long time. Or even indulging in prostitution, drug use, or being imprisoned intermittently for several years or months. The psychological and mental damage to these youngsters is for life. And no amount of counseling will eradicate these demons totally. Many see themselves as fierce Queens, who is living for the moment while they are still young, appealing, or attractive. The future is never seriously contemplated on by most of these men and women.

This phenomena is endemic in the Inner cities, and poor neighborhoods. Especially in communities where rampant poverty, destitution, and language barriers exist. The inability to meander the health, and social facilities that are available to them. And the stigma that homelessness, Gay, Lesbian, Tansgender, and Homeless people have to deal with on a daily basis, is the principal barriers that inhibit them from seeking meaningful help and assistance.

Maummar Gaddafi's Western Woes!

March 02-2007:

Maummar Gaddafi's Western Woes!

Maummar Gaddaffi-President Of Libya was cajoled by the west and the Big Western powers to come on board, stop his alleged involvement and support of international terrorism. And by so doing will be given technical nuclear and other related assistance, to facilitate economic development in his country.
This he did quite willingly some time ago, in good faith with the west.

To date, the western powers have not fulfilled their end of the bargain or agreement. This comes as a slap in the face of Gaddaffi, and an embarrassment for him in the eyes of other governments, who are set on developing nuclear energy, and was watching to see how this agreement would unfold.

However, even though Mr. Gaddaffi is terribly disappointed with the west, for failing to live up to it's agreements, he has promised publicly not to revert to aiding and abetting terrorism.

This should come as no surprise to Gaddaffi though. He took his chances, as the first Middle Eastern government to show his contemporaries, that there is another way to reconcile certain issues with the west.

However, the West has erred terribly in this regard!
