KEEPING FOOTBALL A MANLY SPORT FOR MANLY MEN

I would at this time like to restate some of my rules for again making Football, “A Manly Sport for Manly Men”. The first has to do with scoring. You don’t score till both feet are over the goal line regardless of where the ball is. Also you score by catching a ball in the end zone. Not beyond it or to the left or the right. Some of these “corner shots” don’t appear to be kosher to me and yet the referee ways they scored when they were challenged. The goal line does not “extend theoretically around the world”. This principle also applies to first downs. If any part of your body is not over the first down point then you don’t get a first down. There are a couple of whoos rules that HAVE been eliminated, thank God. One is the “I was pushed out of bounds” rule pertaining to a caught pass. The other is the “in the grasp” rule where a player need not be down for the play to end. I would move the kick off line back to the thirty yard line- - and from the 35 yard line where it was placed this year. Also I would change the field goal rule back to where if you don’t make it it’s from the point of scrimmage, and not from the point from where the ball was kicked. I would eliminate both the “roughing the kicker” rule and the “roughing the passer” rule. I would eliminate “pass interference” as a call, either defensive or offensive. The offensive rule is particularly assanine. Under my rules blocking from the back would be legal, and holding, either offensive or defensive, would be legal. As for out of bounds passes I would eliminate one problem entirely by instituting a “no feet in bounds” rule for caught passes. If when the player’s feet last left the ground both feet were entirely in fair ground and he established control of the ball before he came down out of bounds, the pass would count as a reception. All the rest of the rules I would keep, even the ones I don’t understand like “illegal formation” and “illegal man down field”. I would certainly enforce the intensional grounding rule. In fact I would toughen it- - to include grounding the ball to stop the clock. And I would enforce the passing beyond scrimmage rule vigerously. Under my rules you would still have prohibitions against such thing as the face mask grab, rabbit punches, horse collars, and hits to the groin. And just to be a nice guy I’d even keep the “fair catch” rule after kick-off, though that is a little wimpy. I would go back to the old “sudden death” rule for overtime. I would keep the two point ground conversion rule. No canning center. I would start the clock on kick-off when the kicker kicked the ball, and not when it was caught. Twelve men on the field is an offense, but too few man on one side is not grounds to have a play annulled. The ten yard onside kick rule would remain.

There is a substance, a specific protein produced by jellyfish, called Previgen, that works wonders on the human brain increasing cognition speed, memory, and a whole lot of other stuff. It even reverses dementia symptoms in old people. This substance has been molecularly synthesized or cloned or something. Jellyfish aren’t in danger. Some people protest against a certain surgical practice on male babies. I would like to organize a crusade against “de-milanization of the brain”. With every brain cell that gets washed away there goes a memory. “Brainwashing” may not be just a metaphor. I honestly think my Dad lost a lot of cognitive brain cells from alcohol. These people on the right want “low information voters” to demilenize all the common sense out of them they were born with. Remember the adage, “The Mind is a horrible thing to waste”.

Not to toot my horn or anything but have you noticed what the stock market has been doing lately? It’s gone up this week. If you had followed my “Buy” signal, you would be that much in the black now. Allow me to repeat that overnight market orders can be your quickest road to the poor house- - unless you are going against the tide. It would be like someone traveling from Big Bear on a Saturday morning down to a construction job in San Barnadino where you get time & a half overtime. Some people look at these gap openings in stock charts and ask “But what about all that money there?” and the answer there, I suspect, is “Well the insider traders on the exchange floor pocketed that. So if you want to partake in their greed and make to rules work for instead of against you, go against the tide on gap market openings. Also as you k know, my rule is that you bet favorites on football, and long shots on horse races. How many Simpson cartoons have you seen where Homer says “All my team has to do is lose by less than six points and I get my money”. - - - And he always loses. If the line is 21 points, the team will likely win by 24 points. Back when I was regularly studying the line, I found that winning teams routinely beat “the line” where technically the tally should be 50 – 50. Of course Uncle Bob did not take kindly to my remark about betting favorites when his team lost the game on a bad call. Well, they don’t ask you about bad calls when you go to the window to collect your money. Hey, folks, with age comes wisdom.

Hurricane Irene has made landfall in North Carolina but as a category one storm, so the damage is not as severe as feared. However of all the courses (paths) the hurricane might take, it appears to be following a “worst case scenario” path. Broadway Shows have been closed for the weekend. The Little League game may even be impacted. They say that lower Manhatton may be under as much as 13 feet of water, and the Subway system may become flooded with salt water. The Martin Luther King ceremony in Washington DC has been canceled today. This will be New York’s worst hurricane since 1938. In other news, now rebel troops are attacking the city of Qadafi’s birth, where he is most likely to have supporters. They of course have been combing all of these underground tunnels. Qadafi won’t go down without a fight. The Federation is neutral at best on this whole thing, if anything they are actually routing for Qadafi to prevail.

It's interesting how certain things can be kept secret a long time, like Johnson's comments to Senator Everett Dirkson about Nixon being guilty of "treason" in the area of sabotaging the Paris peace talks. It's interesting to wonder how much enlightenment we'd have if everybody's secrets came to light, even from long ago. There is a roomer that the Beatles song "All I Got To Do" was actually written in 1961 but Lennon kept it secret. My theory is that perhaps basist Stewart Sutcliffe actually wrote this song. Another "song holdover" that has been documented is "Hold Me Tight". It's been my impression that these two songs are bit "anachronistic" with respect to the other With the Beatles album songs. The trouble is that Christians and other charletons pride themselves on "Ancient Secrets" that were just concocted the day before yesterday. For people to know the bogus from the genuine they need discernment, and there are all too few people who have discernment, especially those most in need of possessing it.

I’ll be frank with you. Everybody comes to an intellectual problem with their own biases. I am no exception. But in the case of my Prophecy Book, it wasn’t de-milenized, it was de Mark Campbell-ized. A few of his ideas are retained in the book, such as the portraying of karma as a physical property. There is some sentiment tword preferring “the land” and rural existence to city life. And I do mention that it’s not a good idea to rat out your friends- - sell them down the river, all to impress “The Man”. However Mark Campbell would have had me emphasize these remarks much more strongly than I did. Originally there was going to be a lot of stuff about prison life, and the psychology of being a prisoner, and different kinds of "prisoners", and walls, and breaking out. There was a Dylan lyric "I believe the whole wide world is one big prison yard. Some of us are prisoners and some of us are guards". Mark was also a big fan of the lyrics to "All Along the Watchtower". After living three years with President Obama, I’m gaining a new appreciation of why Mark Campbell was so disillusioned with my book, and could not recommend that anybody buy it. I guess what I did was to do a Bennihana job on my intellect and sculpt it into a religiously acceptable phallic symbol. However certain concepts are missing entirely like Mark’s numerous “sailing” metaphors and lines like, “Prefer the feast of friends to the giant assembly”. Also a key part of the book was going to be an ode to the North Vietnamese and Viet Cong fighting to preserve their homeland and how all the American bastions of sin and degradation occur in places like Saigon. And also how we should all be more in touch with the earth and care for the planet, and to go for a more organic way of living, even pertaining to organic substances, such as marijuana. And just maybe the image of the G I’s and Viet Kong getting together for a pow-wow might become a reality. Also I did quote the Ezekiel 28 scripture of “Will you say you are a god in the presence of those who are doing you in?” I quoted it but I did not elaborate on it, and this scripture is literally pregnant on ways to elaborate.

In terms of Einstein’s theory on light speed verses Mine- - there are problems with us both. Einstein’s problem is one I mention in my Book, of, “A plan without a left AND a right wing won’t fly”. That’s sure to offend both sides. Einstein is like the seller of a table saw where there are ten equally important things to watch out for that could be dangerous and cause accidents. Unfortunately the instruction manuel only lists five, leaving you caught utterly unawares on the other five. His theory is like a man who build a jet plane with a right wing made of scientifically endineered titanium, whereas the left wing is made of shoddily crafted pig-iron. That plane won’t fly. The thing wrong with my theory is not that it won’t fly but that it won’t sail. I have a distinct “Horse Lattitude” problem- - No Ether Wind. It was this reality that was among the key reasons for Einstein even to come up with his theory in the first place. Einstein bases his world on certain assumptions. “Light never bends” and “Light has constant speed”. Ask any jeweler in town whether or not they believe light bends. So being true to his ideals “light doesn’t bend- - it’s the Space that bends”. That’s like Norma Desmond saying “I AM big; it’s the pictures that got small”. Actually back in the fall of 2009 I considered giving Einstein’s theory as is, a real plug. His theory is based on the “Different amounts but the same percentages” concept. It’s actually a variation on Mark Bove’s “Corinthian” doctrine. As adopted by Me, it goes “We all have things we are proud of in accomplishing. Some people have accomplished a lot more than others. But in the end we all lack that “certain percentage” of confidence, and all equally have a sense of having “falling short of the perfection of God”. However, some of us have bigger “vessels” than others of us. As such they need more of God’s glory to “top them off”. This admittedly is an Egotistical view of things, but there is a certain mad validity to it. Unfortunately in the fall of 2009 I didn’t like certain assumptions that went along with it and threw it out, literally AS I was writing my thesis. I had started off with the “Everything is Normal” doctrine I had just come up with. This is another of those philosophical questions each man has to ask himself. Would you rather live in a world where you see things as they actually are- - even if there is madness in the world all around you, but you knowing that you are Right with God?” Or would you rather take a Prozac like my Dad did, and no matter how messed up your life is in reality- - you think, “Everything’s fine”. Going on three years ago I had propounded a view where “Things actually look normal” when you are moving at a substantial speed and percentage of light speed. There is no indication at all of any optical distortion. So in a sense if a scientist can demonstrate that that there in fact IS no optical distortion- - then Einstein has been proved right. Because I broke it down and showed that there WAS optical distortion using “normal” Newtonian physics. Not to complicate my thesis but Wayne Dyre, the mentalist, or whatever he calls his teaching, plays into this a little. It is said by Evangelists, "God has blessings for all. But there is a principle that God's love can't get INTO you unless it can also get OUT of you. Like electricity. So it's not just in the light sender, but the presence of a Receiver alters the laws of physics. It's as though YOU exhibited some sort of "magnetic attraction" like the presence of the Queen in a swarm of bees. As such there is almost a "conductivity" issue when it comes to the Ether transmission of EM wave energy. Capish? OK I’m done with that. Let me add one thing here. What I said- -or may have ambiguously implied (like Romney) that somehow gravitational fields “near the edge of Ether” are not circular- - - well they ARE circular. I don’t want my ambiguity on the subject in the last outing to germinate into full blown error. So in the sense I WAS right when I said there will be no “Early Warning” of impending disaster. Spare your laments on that subject for when Rick Perry becomes President, and the boom is really lowered.
