The Birth of a New Religion

Posted by on

Tuberculosis (TB) has been with us since ancient times and is found in every country in the world. It is estimated that one-third of the world’s population is infected with the TB bacterium. It is a leading cause of infectious disease worldwide, killing roughly 1.5 million people each year. TB is an airborne disease that …

Where are the Free-Thinkers?

Posted by on

I was heavily imbibed one night many years ago and received an email from a Republican friend forwarding disinformation about how messed up something was with some leading Democrat. What she described was indeed messed up, but simply forwarding the same misinformation yet again really set me off that night. “She’s smarter than this,” I …

A Friendly Reminder from Tommy Toilet

Posted by on

Who would have thought that nearly 50 years after this was first published the nation would once again take this to heart. I suspect this is the real reason for the recent toilet paper panic.

The Right to be Armed

Posted by on

A friend of mine posted this recently on spacebook… “For those of you who ask… who wants to take away your guns? Who wants to take your constitutional rights away. Take a gander at this.” 15:45 – Legally Armed America This was my response… Many people have come to me over the years telling me …

Forum: CRISIS-19-Public

Posted by on

A handful of us here spent extensive time and energy since mid-March trying to learn what is the nature of this pandemic that has been thrust upon us. After a flurry of emails, we finally added a new Public Group to the site for this purpose (link below). CRISIS-19-Public I continue to receive a large …

Gibran on Giving

Posted by on

There are those who give with joy, and that joy is their reward. And there are those who give with pain, and that pain is their baptism. And there are those who give and know not pain in giving, nor do they seek joy, nor give with mindfulness of virtue; They give as in yonder …

John Denver: Annie’s Song

Posted by on

1973 — I was thinking of the age in which this song was written. It was a time before every emotion was ran through an amplifier and turned into a parody. A time more organic, before even compassion itself was manufactured. You couldn’t yet patent lifeforms. That realm still belonged to God, whether you believed …

Monopoly – Stop Playing the Game

Posted by on

“The only way to stop playing a game is to stop.” — Eric Berne, The Games People Play I was the first of five children born in our family. As kids we would sometimes play Monopoly. Being the oldest I had an advantage in figuring out how to win. I was also the Banker. As …

Size Doesn’t Matter

Posted by on

Did you know that Scarlett Johansson is only 5′-3″ tall? About the same as Robert De Niro. That was a joke, kind of. A reminder though from Dog Whisperer Cesar Millan that even a Chihuahua is sometimes the leader of the pack. Size doesn’t matter. It’s what’s in your heart that counts.

The Power of Words – Gone Awry

Posted by on

This was originally posted for a small group of friends on Facebook, and I was unsure I would post it here. I do so now after some deliberation. I believe this is something that should be thought about on a broader scale, asking why we glorify ‘thugness’ – whether it was James Cagney during the …

U.S. National Debt Clock

Posted by on

You think this ends well? Never forget that debt is slavery… at ANY interest rate. Hold the people to account who insist on placing their yoke on you! And quit voting for stuff you don’t have the money for! Contrary to what these crooks tell you, no one is going to ‘cover’ your portion for …

Schumann Resonance

Posted by on

Did you know that the Earth has its own vibrational frequency? It does. It is 7.83 Hertz (Hz), and it’s called the Schumann Resonance. When your brain is at its ultimate state of relaxation, like the state you might experience with practiced meditation (not sleep), your brainwaves are operating in this same frequency. It is …

Confusing Brains with a Bull Market

Posted by on

There is an old saying, “Don’t confuse brains with a bull market.” I tried to tell a number of friends this the last year or two. It was meant constructively, since I was the only one most of them knew who actually flourished during the last crash. No one was interested though. Kind of like …

Dave Brubeck: Take Five

Dave Brubeck was a classically trained pianist who grew up in the San Francisco Bay Area. In 1951 he formed the Dave Brubeck Quartet with Paul Desmond on alto saxophone.

Erik Satie: Gymnopédies

Posted by on

Here’s one with pictures. Compare this to your favorite slutty half-time show filled with demonic symbolism. 15:45 – Updated 23 Dec 2022 because the original YouTube video was no longer available. Special Thanks to Estoy Perdida… Eric Alfred Leslie Satie (17 May 1866 – 1 July 1925), who signed his name Erik Satie after 1884, …

Rachmaninoff: Rhapsody on a Theme of Paganini

Posted by on

So who will stand the test of time, Rachmaninoff or someone named Dawg? Sadly, that probably depends on the culture. A culture that now looks down, instead of up. And that seems to be the direction we’re going – down. Any culture that glorifies all that is nasty and evil instead of all that is …

Debussy: Clair de Lune as Art

Posted by on

Another post in our ongoing quest to determine whether there is intrinsic value in great works of art, or whether one person’s turd is just as great as another’s Debussy, well, because someone decided it was… 5:29 – Kathia Buniatishvili – Claude Debussy: Clair de lune For anyone who is actually listening to these, here …

The Lord Giveth Increase, but Man Devised Credit

Posted by on

Ever more proof that man does not learn from history – and, in all his greed, pride and arrogance, in fact has little interest in it at all, at least in any real history… “The Lord giveth increase, but man devised credit.” “The general shape of the universal delusion may be indicated by three of …

Hip-Hop versus Puccini’s Nessun Dorma

Posted by on

I listened to a well-known ‘hip-hop’ person recently proclaim himself to be the greatest artist that ever lived. Since this was such an utterly ridiculous statement it stuck in my head. That he could even remotely compare his binary tempos and coarse use of language to the aesthetic sensibilities that existed in famous works of …

Hollywood Scripts – Corona

Posted by on

I am copying here a number of Spacebook postings from the last couple of weeks. Here is one from a couple days ago… I posed a thought experiment: “Does anyone know what they used to use typewriters for in Hollywood?” I didn’t receive many responses. I finally replied: Well, neither the question nor the answer …
