i thought this little poem purports a lot about the damage that hope in unreality can do and why there are "bad" humans.

at the point where hope and reason part, .

lies the spot where madness gets a start.

Hi again Mark,
That's very Zen-like:
Death is just one face on the coin of change so to speak, if you resist that the result is what is called suffering. --Mark
From what I've read (not extensively) is that resistance to all in life is what causes suffering. It seems to me to be very
Of course its no surprise, most people can't even change how they feel about things as simple as food and entertainment, let alone beliefs and way of thinking and the very form of their organism.valid. --Mark
That reminds me of a quote I read somewhere that said if you feel the way you did 20 years ago, check your pulse--you may be dead.
I tend to be in the category of not changing about food & entertainment, though, lol. But I've changed drastically--enough for me anyway--in philosophy and interaction with the world around me.
Thanks for your informative posts.

Lol, okay, Colonel, here's a break
Actually, I didn't make myself clear: I meant that the silence from the major media that I've read so far, not you personally.
Cheers!

Hi exjdub,
I enjoyed your posts. It seems to me also that what the critics are picking on MM's 911 are picayune and the big points such as the blatant lies we've been told and Bush sitting catatonically while this country is under attack for seven minutes are all but unmentioned.
Colonel, Every word of MM's film has been documented and if it's incorrect, believe me there will be plenty of factual info about it! This is being gone over scrupulously. And yes, it's been well-known since the invasion started that only one of Congress has a son or daughter in the military.
What I've noticed, since MM has clearly stated he has lawyers on the ready to sue anyone quickly for slander, etc., that the news is very gingerly accusing it of being in error. Most of it is, as I said, irrelevant details, not the big accusations of MM being wrong about the Carlyle Group, the binLadens, the Saudis, the pipeline thru Afghanistan, the inaction of our Commander-in-Chief, etc. Ha! At least they've got more class than calling him fat!
This silence on the major points seems to me to be confirmation of them.

You know I really am thankful that Koontz and King published that book, do you know that it was one of the most asked for books that did not exist? -----Cassi

Cassi, I didn't even know it wasn't a book (it sounds so classic from its title!) until I tried to look it up on the net. Didn't know either it was King and Koontz together. I'll have to look into it Moore (lol! Just saw 911!) more. Take care!
Frankie, that sounds good to me!
Mark, you're so right that death intervenes in everything. And 99% of species have gone extinct or death for the species, so maybe humans will too in millions of years, since we're such a "weed species" (meaning we can survive under all sorts of conditions due to our adaptability). Here's hoping we don't accelerate that! And instead prolong it permanently.
By the way, Mark, I got such a laugh out of your "stalking" technique on the other thread--I'm still chuckling!

Hi Cassi,
What a good application of that! I was thinking of religious promises, but you're right---people in power cause a lot of disappointment and pain too.

Hi CCT!
We're glad to have you here and wish you well in your perusing the board. We have lots of good discussions and everyone's ideas are listened to---maybe not always agreed with, but listened to!
I became a JW in 1973 and like most of the folks here, am very familiar with all the beliefs. There's probably 100s or 1000s of years of experience here.
Cheers,
Pat

Thanks for your post Crazy! It's so much better to be disagreed with than ignored!
