How to save the world, get Universal Healthcare, etc...? THERE ARE ONLY TWO OPTIONS: A. TRY; ATTEMPT, or B. DON'T. TRY, ATTEMPT, that's what Love does. Period. That always is the answer. There is no other. ALL else is HOPELESS.

"Values Voters" in DC. Rick and Cynde - I'd take them over most Lefties ANY DAY.
Rick and Cynde. We spoke for 30 minutes. Unlike almost all the Lefties
I know, I'd get in a foxhole with these two any day. We disagreed on
almost every fact - but we agreed entirely on what matters - commitment,
compassion, hard work, sacrifice for others. They are fighters. I'm
a fighter. LIFE FIGHTS. DEATH WATCHES. Give us enough time
and we'd arrive at the same set of facts.
Give me a True Conservative or a Committed Liberal any day - by spare
me from the Hate monger masses on the Right and the Lip Service
masses on the Left -PLEASE!

If the potential 60's marchers had ruled out ACTION BY THEMSELVES, PER SE?
[I wish the following were just some idealogical rant, rather than the Truth.]
Imagine if the potential 60's marchers had ruled-out ACTION BY THEMSELVES PER SE?
Why the Left is Defeated already:
1. By definition of their behavior and mind-set, about which they are intransigent,
the Left holds themselves entirely irresponsible for whatever is happening.
By definition - it is the fault of Congress, the President, and or the Right - NEVER
THEMSELVES! Thereby they have ruled out ACTION by THEMSELVES -
PER SE. From today's Left no equivalent of - CIVIL RIGHTS MARCHERS, LABOR
ACTIVISTIONS, SALT MARCH....
2. The RIGHT WINS BY DEFAULT IN THE ABSENCE OF ACTION FROM THE LEFT
(or Middle) - exactly because Entropy, the 2nd
Law of Thermodynamics wins by default. The position of the Right
is Regression - Regression to a simpler, earlier state of social organization
is EASIER, requires LESS ENERGY - IS WHAT HAPPENS without the CONSTANT
excertions of ACTION from the Left - or Center. The Right IS the EMBODYMENT OF THE
2nd law of Thermodynamics - they win by default.
3. To synthesize 1 & 2 - the "L" masses (Lazy Lipservice Liberal Left) insists that
its only and primary weapon is LIPSERVICE - and LIPSERVICE always
loses to LIFESERVICE - and the Right, as degenerate as it is (BECAUSE
it as degenerate as it is!!!) rises to LIFESERVICE when the status
quo is threatened.
Now the L's whipping boy Obama, HE, DESPITE them, fashioned a
coalition from the Middle to win the election. OUR ONLY HOPE is that he can, again
without the LifeService of the "L's" advance his agenda, even overcoming
all the "L" rocks, drag and diversion.

Start L is very depressed at the moment.
[I had a wonderful conversation with a fellow at the Vigil this
morning - Bill. Early 40's professional man, with kids. It was a
wonderful connection - we covered much ground - and he
asked if since I've Lived this new life I've suffered depression.]
Bill, :-)
You asked me if I ever suffered depression. With the greatest
gusto I said NO!
Of course I was attempting to tell you the truth, but to my
amusement, at my many limitations, I write to tell you - absolutely
I suffer depressions. I'm in one this afternoon - a significant
one.
One of my advanced degrees is in psychology. Abe Maslow
is one of the handful of psychs whose work was not toxic -
but extremely health producing. At a conference back
in the 1960's he was challenged for listing Abe Lincoln as one
of his Icons of human health with, 'Dr. Maslow, Abe Lincoln
was known to be depressive, an "illness," and you label him an
icon of human health?'
'Hmmmm,' Maslow replied. 'Yes. Lincoln was in the midst of
a war destroying thousands of his brothers and sisters both
north and south. He was deeply depressed about this. And you
deem this unhealthy???'
A am in agony over, and depressed about the lethargy in my
brothers and sisters in this country regarding the Health Care
Legislation - and how the most promising minds I see insist
on sitting on the sidelines pontificating while the greatest
leader in the history of the world, Pres. Obama, stays on the
field of battle fighting for us, Alone. You know the movie,
"High Noon," with Gary Cooper?
The question my brain (oh so limited) was hearing from you
when you said "depression," I was responding to Joy - was
there ever an instant when I didn't experience Joy. No IS
the correct answer to that - including now.
In his studies of Self Actualized people, among the traits
he found among all was that they, 1. Were all completely
and totally dedicated to the well-being of humanity, and
2. Practically all would relate that - 'Life is so wonderful
I almost can't stand it - it is just too much - excruciating.'
That is how it is. The pain of the world is so acute in me
that at times it does lead to depression. NEVER do I
regret either the pain or the depression. I'd be "Dead" if
I lacked either. A STONE would feel the pain so rampant
in the world today. Yes?
But in my own experience and in my ongoing
studies in many fields - the Agony and the Ecstasy are NEVER
separate; NEVER. The Agony of those needlessly
suffering is the FUEL, the ENGINE for LOVE and the
fruit of Living out of our Love is JOY - Ecstasy.
It is not rare that I am depressed. It is NEVER that I do
not Live Joy. It is Heaven, and Hell. :-)

Wow—August was really something.
At town halls, state fairs, public forums, and hundreds of other events across the country, MoveOn Councils and individual MoveOn members showed Congress and the media that the vast majority of Americans support the change agenda that President Obama ran on.
Local MoveOn members organized face-to-face conversations with key senators including Evan Bayh, Kent Conrad, and Olympia Snowe. And we got a slew of positive press coverage to amplify our message—from television stations in St. Louis and Sarasota, FL to MSNBC.
Then, we capped it off by holding hundreds of powerful "We Can't Afford to Wait" Vigils across the country. (Check out this terrific homemade video of the Los Angeles Vigil.) The vigils had over 100 people in attendance, on average; and over 70% of them got media coverage.
The sum of all this? We've had a big impact. We're starting to regain control of the debate over health care reform, despite a small but disruptive minority. Rep. Joe Wilson's outburst during President Obama's powerful speech on Wednesday was symptomatic of the right's growing credibility problem.
And now, in these next few weeks, we'll be fighting hard to keep the pressure on.
On September 22nd, we will stand up to the multi-billion dollar health insurance industry at our "Big Insurance: Sick of It" rallies.
There's still plenty of work to do, but the fact that the progressives are taking back the health care debate—and holding the line on clean energy—is a testament to the amazing work you were part of this summer.
Thanks so much for all you do.

"If one values pleasure, then what Pleases us, that is what we believe. Gandhi was an exception." SL
True of both the Left and the Right in this country, of all but the few,
1 in a million, the True Liberals or True Conservatives:
"If one values pleasure, then what Pleases us, that is what we believe.
Gandhi was an exception - Pleasure was NOT what he valued so he
was free to believe that which is True over that which Pleases;
the one in a million True Conservatives or Liberals are the exception." SL
Those of us on the Left have been learning this about the Right. Clearly
they don't value accurate information - they believe whatever supports the
pleasure they get from feeling Superior, in Control, Dominant, Smart,
Powerful, Righteous... - when in reality, in Truth they are anything but.
They are slave to, addicted to these feelings, even at the price of no
health care for themselves or their loved ones. Madness. More clinically -
ADDICTION.
The Left is NO DIFFERENT - only more sophisticated. The sophistication
comes in making beliefs of fairness, truthfulness, justice, knowledge
accuracy, reason... as central in what they think and say - but what they DO,
OR MORE PARTICULARLY THEIR NEGLECT OF RESPONSIBILITY, IS JUST AS
DISHONEST, INCONSISTENT, DISINGENUOUS, UN-TRUE as the Right.
But dishonestly holding these "beliefs" is a Pleasure they just can't
resist - the Addict.
Only one in a million on the Left escapes EXCUSES, WHIPPING BOYS,
SCAPEGOATS, REASON(S)-FOR PERSONAL INACTION AND
IRRESPONSIBILITY.
For the Left AND the Right The distinction is between "feeling" and "being."
The Left chooses beliefs that make them "FEEL": Fair, Just, Truthful,
Knowledgeable, Educated - and done "religiously" this enables them to
"BE" anything but - thriving on EXCUSES, WHIPPING BOYS,
SCAPEGOATS, REASON(S)-FOR PERSONAL INACTION....
All it costs both sides is their Soul, their Humanity, their Joy, and any
True Future. Reality, Mother Nature - Punishes Lies and Deception;
Lack of Integrity - in the end.
VALUING "JOY" OVER PLEASURE IS THE ONLY ESCAPE FROM THIS
SUICIDAL, DUPLICITOUS ADDICTION TO PLEASURE - AND JOY
COMES FROM LIVING THE TRUTH, BEING CONSISTENT WITH THE TRUTH,
AT THE EXPENSE OF PLEASURE.

WE are born these Godlike, Divine creatures.
We quickly trade in our Divinity, our Life - judgment, Truth Seeking,

This is no less true on the Left than on the Right, but it is easier
to see on the Right.
It is not that Position, Role, Lifestyle, Belief... are bad per se. It
is that we almost always in this society REDUCE OURSELVES to
these, thereby Killing the Humanity within ourselves. We pay the
ultimate price and do the same to our children.
This is how we plug ourselves and our "love ones" into the Matrix.

is that we almost always in this society REDUCE OURSELVES to
these, thereby Killing the Humanity within ourselves. We pay the
ultimate price and do the same to our children.
This is how we plug ourselves and our "love ones" into the Matrix.
Existence happens inside the Matrix, but Life happens only outside.

When did the Election become CHOOSE YOUR GLADIATOR FOR THE COLISEUM?
THE ONLY THING FATAL TO A DEMOCRACY IS TO MAKE THE CITIZENS SPECTATORS.
When did the Election become CHOOSE YOUR GLADIATOR FOR THE COLISEUM?
I mean, what would happen if choosing a President / Leader / Captain meant:
* The rest of the football team left the field?
* All hands on deck hit the deck chairs to watch?
* Everyone else in the Corporation became hostile observers?
* The soldiers went left he battlefield, except to throw rocks, at the General?

NYT In Barack we have the greatest Pres. In US HE has... hmmm...?
What WILL be said of we people. We people were among Lincoln's greatest
obstacles. And what will be said of US relative to Pres. Obama?
He is MINDING HIS BUSINESS - BRILLIANTLY.
Who is minding OUR BUSINESS? Time to get off of this vacation we've
been on these 10 months since the election, and get back to work!
If it is not too late.

Obama's Speech Is Seen as Unifying Democrats
http://www.nytimes.com/2009/09/11/health/policy/11health.html"The Nazis came for me, and there was no one left to stand up."
Is this how it was to be? Deja Vu all over again?
"First they came for the Communists, and I didn't speak up, because I wasn't a Communist. Then they came for the Jews, and I didn't speak up, because I wasn't a Jew. Then they came for the Catholics, and I didn't speak up, because I was a Protestant. Then they came for me, and by that time there was no one left to speak up for me." is just one of many variations of a poem attributed to Pastor Martin Niemöller (1892–1984) about the inactivity of German intellectuals following the Nazi rise to power and the purging of their chosen targets, group after group. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/First_they_came...

Dear Supporter:
On Saturday, the opposition is coming to DC.
Glenn Beck and so-called teabaggers - the opposition that's been yelling at town halls across the country - are marching on Washington, DC on Saturday, September 12th.
They may be loud, but they do not represent America. They're coming to our hometown, and we need to be there to make sure everyone knows this is not the America we believe in.
So come out on Saturday for a Vigil for the Common Good, a solemn protest against the shouting and violence that they're injecting into our country's discourse.
Where: West front of the U.S. Capitol Lawn (map)
When: Saturday, September 12th, 12:45 pm
Can you come? Click here to RSVP on Facebook. (If you're not on Facebook, just show up.)
Thanks for standing up for America. I'll see you at the vigil!
To your health,
Levana Layendecker
