The President and all the Presidents men


COST OF DOING BUSINESS IN THESE UNITED STATES, WHERE NOW YOU, THE AMERICAN CITIZEN MAY BE HELD IN JAIL WITH NO CHARGE FILED.

Payroll 5,000.00
Taxes (state and fed) 2,000.00
Fed employer liability 1,900.00
Comp Ins (iron worker) 50% 2,500.00
Liability Insurance 25% 1,225.00
Unemployment Ins 14% 700.00
Health Ins @ 5.00 per hour 120 hrs 600.00


Payroll cost for 5,000.00 = 13,920.00

Employee net from 5,000= 3,000.00


Insurance companies and the government take 11,000.00
The employee takes 3,000.00

If you ever wondered if this country is in big trouble, wonder no longer, it is.

Iraq cost 2 billion a week
Big dig cost 14 billion total

In seven weeks the cost of the Iraq war could pay for the total upgrade of a major American City.

Iraq war 3 years cost: 300 billion
Number of American cities which could have been re-built: 20
Number of jobs generating tax revenue from these re-building projects generates another 200 billion, allowing for the re-building of 15 cities infrastructure, creating tax revenue to re-build another etc, etc, etc.

33% of Insurance Company profit goes to taxes, Make the companies non profit, or socialized and the cost of insurance makes the American work force competitive. The total insurance cost for the 5000 payroll above is; (comp, liability, health care) $4,325.00, Almost as much as the employee’s gross wages.

OUR GOVERNMENT IS BROKEN, ITS MAKING AMERICA BROKE!

theatre


Theatre, what a word, for life is a theatre, a seed head of grass is a theatre, a car parked on a street is a theatre, a ketchup bottle is a theatre. For life is a constant reaction to environment, as the saying goes life is for living, for being part of the theatre. If you open a news paper and look at the pictures, the pictures chosen are chosen precisely because they contain theatre, look at the advertisements; they are chosen because they contain theatre, even a simple clothing ad for lets say Macy’s. The woe is me mentality just doesn’t cut it, the external theatre has nothing to do with the internal, for there are oh so many who’s external theatre is much more “complicated” than many others, and on, and on, and on. Today, the pharmaceutical companies, the governments, wish to create a “one” stage theatre, where the individual stage is made to be one. Today, we have an enormous substance abuse problem with people wishing to escape their theatre. Now, you may not like my theatre but to say theatre in general is for only when I must experience it is, ignorant, an escape. To wish for a blank wall is frightening. What I find interesting in all of this, and have for years is that forms of minimal art in their effort to create a simplified theatre instead create one of great response, of great reaction. For life is reaction after reaction, reaction caused by the action before which immediately changes to reaction from the moment preceding, to give way to the next reaction, there is no getting around this even in a blank wall, for the external theatre really has nothing to do with the internal. What I was saying about this piece is it doesn’t create enough theatre, (how wrong I was), I forgot that even a silent room can’t hide from being a stage.

spirit of mankind


Lost to mankind is the spirit of life, the search for meeting the soul and recognising its self.

God



A question to me and my answer.

>Humm..I dig the way you "altered" >your medium--Since the beginning of >history Man has continued to >alter his perception of God. >Just curious however, what inspired >the name?

hi, the inspiration for the name is from my firm belief that God is not a being. God is a human belief, such as the question, do you believe in God?, yes or know I do or don't BELIEVE in God. Broken down to the fundamentals is just that, a belief and only a belief. So, the inspiration is, here is something, really nothing, yet if I want to, I CAN believe it is an image of god, for beliefs sake.

Mideast crisis

The Mideast crisis, the Iraq crisis, The Sudan crisis, The Kashmir crisis. This group and that group believing their belief in something else is the right belief. When is mankind going to become intelligent enough to believe in its self. When is mankind going to stop the hatred and killing in the name of something else and begin to be responsible for their own actions being actions of their own. When will mankind stop imposing their will, their beliefs in something other than themselves upon others.
until mankind sees their actions as actions by them from them for them, with all the responsibility being theirs, we will continue to be a ignorant primitive species. And in the mean time, lets hope something as simple as Bacteria doesn't gain a consciousness which recognizes self, for you should know, it already has consciousness. It is not about having hands, legs, food, a car, a gun, a God. No, it is about "self" consciousness, and what to do with it.

seascape


Over population in history has lead to barren soils, disease, and war. Why is it the leaders of the world say nothing about controlling the populations of all societies. Is it that 8% economic growth is more important than the future?

Universal view



So my question is this. How big is life if we see size in relation to life which exists for 85 years as being infinite. From the perspective of consciousness which may be seen in one of the dimensions known in our made up time frame of 14 billion years, is life in this enormous frame so large we cannot even begin the beginnings of imagining it?.

Inside a flower

many moments inside a flower as known by infinite views, a walk on this path is quite a site where time becomes a myriad of clues.
