he expressed it a bit differently.]

ENTROPY WINS BY DEFAULT!!!!!
[[[TODAYS]]] RETHUGS ARE THE PARTY OF ENTROPY!!!! 
[McCain's mom disowns today's Rethugs.]

We have no excuse not to know this.

IF THE LEFT DOES NOT ACT - THE RETHUGS WIN, WIN, WIN BY DEFAULT.

!!!!! AND !!!!! THE RETHUGS ( / TEA PISSERS) ACT, AND WE DO NOT!!!!!!!

THE BLOOD IS ON OUR HANDS FOLKS. ALL OF IT.

THE RETHUGS OF TODAY ARE DUMB BEASTS - CLINICALLY; ACTUALLY; IN FACT - I'M BEING
HONEST AND ACTUAL, NOT SLANDERING OR UNKIND. They ARE my brothers and sisters.
NOTHING BUT DEATH IS TO BE EXPECTED OF THEM.

BUT WHAT OF US - WHAT OF THE LEFT?

WE ARE DESTROYING AMERICA WITH OUR INACTION.

ENTROPY WINS BY DEFAULT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Devote at barackobma.com now, or kiss America goodbye.

It may be too late already. 

But maybe not.

------------- email to K, a sheroic NE Lawyer serving the oppressed -----------------

RE: Hey K - when you have a second

Don't let me distract you from your fires.

>>> CLICK HERE.  TRUST ME <<<

Regarding my replies this morning on your two long emails:

Was Jesus just being cute, or mean, or symbolic, or un-brotherly...
when on MANY occasions he DID NOT ENGAGE IN DIALOG / NEGOTIATIONS,
responding instead with silence, departure or HARSH REBUKE????

NO!!!!  It was the proper, the only constructive response to "Folly,"
"Blindness,"  "Evil,"  "Hypocrisy,"  "Satanic Spirit...."  Pls recall the MANY
occasions that Silence or Massively Harsh Words or Departure / Ignoring
were his response. OFTEN!!!!!!

Those that worship, not Our Father, but the OTHER father ARE OUR
BROTHERS AND SISTERS, but to treat them as though they were of Our
Father is to DO THEM INJUSTICE, AND HARM.   LIKE GIVING CRACK,
OR ALCOHOL TO AN ADDICT, OR A CIGARETTE LIGHTER TO AN INFANT.

Children that have selected Satan (thinking it is Our Father) FEED
ON GENUINE ATTENTION, AND THEY USE
DECEPTION TO BLEED OUR FATHER'S CHILDREN TO DEATH.
"They will kill you and think that they do Our Father's will."

NEVER, NEVER, NEVER do I try to convince you.  The Truth is between
you and Our Father.  HOWEVER, when something is CLEAR to me
I'll speak accordingly.

Love you.

Start

ps:  My conviction also comes from lifelong practice and study of
just this issue, as a psychologist, enterprise leader, change agent,
brother....

SL here. My dad took an axe to the furnace

We lived on the edge of a many thousand acre nature preserve.
Unspeakably idyllic.

After a storm one day, 5 year old (?) Start was in the woods, heard
a rustle in the leaves, and found a baby robin that had blown out
of its nest.  Robbie.  All the science known at the time apparently said
that a baby robin would die away from its mother.  We did not find
the nest.  A shoebox is what we found and I brought Robbie home, and
it thrived, and when we taught it to fly, it came when we called,
and we'd dig worms for Robbie for supper.

Almost everyone in this most affluent of towns I grew up in was,
hmmmmm, afraid of, or put off by my dad.  He was dour, profoundly
intense, entirely reserved, zero small talk, entirely focused.  Yet
he was a teacher's teacher, literally, and in addition to the affluent
students that paid handsomely for him to teach them piano,
teachers from around the country flocked to our home, with his studio
attached, to learn his teaching methods.

During his fall session, studio packed with teachers, alone working
with them, on a brief break he became aware of noise downstairs and
investigated.  Robbie had flown down the chimney flue, entered the
furnace flue and was in the furnace.  It had not yet ignited.

My dad was as smart, self reliant, clever as they come.  I never asked
why there wasn't some other way, but if there were, he'd have
taken it.  Now mind you, he worked from dawn till bed time, earning
money to please my mom's exorbitant tastes, and to provide what he
wanted us kids to have.  And, he did this 7 days per week, 365 days per
year.  Oh, we'd take a 1-4 week family vacation - but he felt we couldn't
afford for him to come, he'd stay, and teach, from dawn, till bedtime.  I
recall only a few exceptions.  Money, for us to have it, was real, real,
important to him - every penny.

He took an axe to the furnace, destroying it, frantically trying to save that
bird, that hadn't cost us a cent.  Robbie.  Must have taken him
weeks of work, or more, to pay for the replacement.  He never gave it a
thought.  The bird's Life is what he valued.  Still makes me
weep.  That's what his Love was, for the world, for us all.

Ultimately, my dad's Spirit, the Spirits of Teresa of Calcutta,
King, Gandhi, Jesus..., and the teachings of Adler, Maslow, Tolstoy,
Csikszetmihalyi, Rogers, Sorokin... Saved my Life.
If I'm speaking metaphorically, that is NOT how it
feels to me.  TOTALLY it feels like the difference
between Life, and Death."  SL

'The job of the citizen is to die for the common good.' Gandhi synthesis

'The job of the citizen is to die

for the common good.'
Gandhi synthesis, consequence of his reading of
"Unto This Last," by John Juskin, one
of the two books that created the
man named Gandhi.

"My non-violence does not admit of running away from danger and leaving
dear ones unprotected. Between violence and cowardly flight, I can only prefer
violence to cowardice. I can no more preach
non-violence to a coward than I can tempt
a blind man to enjoy healthy scenes.
Non-violence is the summit of bravery. And in my own experience, I have
had no difficulty in demonstrating to men
trained in the school of violence the
superiority of non-violence. As a coward, which
I was for years, I harboured violence. I began to prize non-violence only
when I began to shed cowardice.... A rabbit that runs away from the bull terrier
is not particularly non-violent. The poor thing trembles at the sight of the terrier
and runs for very life. (YI, 28-5-1924, p178), M.K. Gandhi.

I Adored my mother.  My poor, desperately sick
younger sister had her constantly under massive
psychological, viciously hostile, SCREAMING attack.
I totally didn't know what to do TO MAKE IT STOP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
(And now I weep at the recollection.)
Violence (non-Loving) was not within me;
Nor was a REMOTELY sufficient
capacity or competence for Tough-Loving.
I just didn't know how, had not undergone the training.

I've been unwilling to remain incapable, incompetent.

My TOTAL AND COMPLETE HORROR at
war / NEEDLESS SUFFERING is ever more acute,
as is my recognition that it IS THE TOTALLY WRONG ANSWER.

Obviously my forecast was off. (Brain)-Storm not yet over. :-(

HELP, please. Not what I can "spare," but all I own I'm donatating. You? SL

They languish in jail FOR YOU, until you help them.

My "boots" are CVS bags over my socks under my sandals.
Duct tape is keeping my pants belt functional (so far). Point?
I spend nothing on myself.

I'm looking for sympathy?  If you don't deeply envy me my life,
I'm continuing to fail you.  Sorry.  I owe a debt of millions,
literally, to my global poor family - that unknowingly I squandered
on myself till recently.

All that I own I'm donating to these folks (below).  During the warmer
months occasionally school kids throw a buck or change into
a donation pot at the Vigil, and by tradition the vigiller takes that
to support themselves in their work.  I don't by coffee, or ANYTHING with it.
I save it for my work, or, the work of real heroes, in the hopes
they would emerge, in a time of need. 

All that I've accumulated these last few years I'm donating.
FINALLY THE RIGHT "CAUSE," THE RIGHT "HEROES" HAVE COME
ALONG.  (4 min vid below)

CAN YOU IMAGINE WHAT THEY RISKED, WHAT THEY SUFFERED,
WHAT THEY SACRIFICED FOR US?  WATCH THIS. (4 min vid below)

THEY LANGUISH IN JAIL FOR YOUR KIDS, CUZ WE ARE NOT
DOING OUR PART OF THE WORK.

PLEASE HELP THEM.  NOW would be a good time:
