TAKING REALITY APART
AND REASSEMBLING IT

They just had the democratic debate at the Kodac theater on CNN. It began at five and it ended at 6:53 by my check. Hillary pretty much mopped the floor with Obama. The only points he scored were talking about recruiting the next generation of Americans. They consciously tried to agree with each other and even speak for each other, like at the end talking about the VP pick. Hillary scored on the immigration issue taking a harder line than Obama and showing her understanding about the tight jobs market, particularly among Blacks. She also reiterated her opposition to having a drivers license for illegals, and explained why. Obama seemed akward talking about the topic of immigration at all. Hillary once again explained her thumbs up vote on the war. The key line is that hers was a thoughtfully reasoned decision based on the facts as we knew them at the time. We did not know that Bush would turn out to be a conscious, obsessive, pathological liar. Also on the issue of medical insurance being mandated, Hillary’s position seemed close to that of Mitt Romney. If anything Obama lost points with me talking about leaning on entertainment corporations telling them what they can and cannot produce. My gut on the issue is to favor freedom of the press over some children that might be upset by a PG 13 trailer while they’re watching The Little Mermaid. Hillary talked about getting down to business the first day of the term. Obama used more flowery phrases where in substance he really wasn’t addressing the question asked. Also in terms of talking about their backgrounds and qualifications, Hillary won hands down. They both employed phrases to emphasize their vast differences with Republicans.

We have the issue of Stephano Di Mira and the “betrayal” by his children. After being in a vegetative state for a few hours they more or less decided to ship him away to some institution where he will languish and be forgotten. I’m no fan of Stephano but I do not understand this reaction and don’t understand Marlena’s either for giving him the drug that put him in this state, apparently permanently. But it’s got me to wondering whether I myself wasn’t administered some drug to exaserbate my alcoholism back in the winter and spring of 2001. As you know there were two enzymes in my liver that were about six times their normal amount. My blood pressure had been off the charts for years. Not only did the Serax given the last few months (after refusing it repeatedly before) do absolutely no good, I got worse. I lost fifteen pounds and my digestive system was in a turmoil. The supposed amount of Serax was doubled and still it did no good. When I got here just to experiment I took two pills at once, effectively quadruppeling a dosage that had worked so effectively in 1999 just two years prior. The drug appeared to have no effect. But rather than merely being given a placebo, what if I were given some other drug to screw up my liver enzymes? If I were a “real alcoholic” I wouldn’t have been “cured” so fast. Somehow if I were being given a drug it had to be something “they” couldn’t slip me in the hospital without being observed. So I “got better” very soon after landing there. Of course the fact that I’m pretty sure I had a stroke and that was a major factor, is usually ignored. It’s also further ignored that drinking as much alcohol as I did might actually have saved my life keeping me from having a bigger stroke or a heart attack. This is not the first time I’ve observed this “pattern”. If you put on your thinking cap and plug in those electrodes I’m sure you can think of another time I was hospitalized. If would be funny if you could make a case for some debilitating drug being given to me that time. And back then it would be a whole lot easier to do since I was living at home. Once again after admittance to the hospital I “got better”. Of course this usually isn’t how the story is told. People like to ignore facts. The fact that I didn’t get out right away- - well maybe they were thinking “once he’s in we can forget about him”. A drug would explain my apparent “abnormal” behavior back then. They’ve got drugs to produce so many strange symptoms now. Where is “House” when you need him? Both incidents have in common as things you can point to and obsess over and say “Here is your proof that [Marcus] is abnormal”. Kind of staining my “permanent record”.

Everybody wants to know no matter which candidate gets elected in November what life will be like in this country in, say, five years from now. I have predicted that Iran will continue to be a problem. Perhaps either because or in spite of the foreign policy we have tword Iran now. I think we can all agree the economy will be in the toilet and it may take years for us to pull out of the upcoming recession and whoever gets put in office will most assuredly not be elected to a 2^nd. term in 2012. Of course there are so many breakthroughs in science that come five years from now there may be cures to diseases we never imagined would happened. We will continue to have violations of our civil liberties by the government. We will continue to have the fat police and nutrition police and the smoking police on our trail. Smoking may fast becoming an extinct activity in America as more and more people quit and people view the activity is unacceptable under ANY circumstance or condition. Now there is this move to spay and newter all cats and dogs by age four months. This law will be unenforceable of course, so that people who get caught won’t get fair justice. (Kind of like the death penalty) Also this law violates John Lock’s axiom about a man having the right to do what he wishes with his own property. It will set up a system of dys-genics so that only wild, undesirable animals will be being born. Finally it violates fairness. We would not think of instituting a draft that let the rich and the privileged people off the hook. And yet dog breeders and show dogs and service and police dogs are exempt. In the name of fairness alone this shouldn’t be. Other items in the news are this bit about happiness ends at forty and resumes again at age 55 or so. The “mid life crisis” is indeed not just myth. They now are talking about manufacturing flu viruses that are more aggressive in giving humans the bird flue, and they’re doing this so “we can come up with a vaccine against it”. This to me seems inherently a dangerous practice that could easily backfire.

I’d like to talk about a little about scientific theories verses scientific theorem or fact. Thom Hartman regards it is theorem and fact that evolution occurred and that creation by an intelligent being did NOT occur. To me evolution is a theory and creationism is a theory and the special theory of relativity is a theory. I say this because if you look at the theory on its surface, it seems to be something someone came up with while using LSD. It’s axiom at its core is that light never exceeds 186,000 per second, as measured by the user. And this is the key element. Therefore space shrinks, or rather matter shrinks and space appears to stretch out, and time slows down and mass increases. This is to explain the “Superman problem”. Smallville’s Clark Kent cant dash around the way he does with his current mass without violating the laws of physics. Jesus Christ on the radio regards it as a theological truth that man will never travel faster than light. And yet according to Chuck Smith there was once a conversation between Isac Newton and another scientist, who was not a Christian while Newton was. And the non Christian stated that man will never travel faster than fifty miles per hour. The idea of this story is that “Christianity keeps up with the times”. We know now there are Black Holes, and to have a Black Hole, you need the idea of something having to accelerate past the speed of light. Black Holes invalidate the special theory of relativity. Also we have talked about fifth dimensional reality where you can go to parallel universes. The Federation has come up with a “Compromise view” on this. In the first place I don’t believe in the Big Bang, but if the Big Bang is actually true it means galaxies have been viewed in their “primitive, unevolved state”. This would be visual proof of evolution, at least of inanimate objects. I myself came up with this “perpetual concentric black hole falling motion machine” to explain the universe. But the Federation says if the Big Bang occurred the universe exploded in the fourth and fifth dimensions. Picture a bunch of rays coming out from a central dot. Each of the rays or lines represents a particular set of dimensions and physical laws and strings of causality. The numerologist in me suggests that there is a geometric preset number of these rays. So these rays would represent “almost parallel universes”. In this view there would be no “slider universes” because a universe would never intersect with this one. Hence the fifth dimension is “real” because it may be the one thing that actually existed before there was time and space. It is suggested that sub-atomic matter exists in its own dimensions. If this true and if a scientist can study sub atomic particles, they may learn things that would be impossible to learn by any other means. They say if an electron collides with a positron you get two photons going in the opposite direction. This is significant because it was assumed by me that anti matter and matter would utterly analite if it came in contact. We know light is made of photons. People like Sylvia Brown talk about “going to the light” when you die. Do we go to a realm that travels 186,000 per second? And if we did we would last for an eternity but it would only seem like a brief instance. The ONLY time Christians ever get to heaven is at the “Wedding Feast of the Lamb” and this period of time is never specified in the Bible. Before and after this we spend on earth. 35 years ago I theorized about going to this “light eternal realm” after you died. Of course I’ve been saying in these blogs that the Space around you depends on the type of matter you are made of. And it all goes back to which one of those raying out lines is YOUR “fifth dimension”. We know that time is an illusion in that we “experience” the illusion that we are alive anc conscious and aware and have free will. What we don’t know is whether this “awareness” we call life has any provable physical manifestations. No object or entity that is dead cares about time. People say that “God” doesn’t care about time. For we humans “NOW” is all we really have. GOD doesn’t care about “Now” in most cases. So I’ll leave it to your deductive logic whether you count God among the living or dead.
