Easter Thoughts for Youth

As you youth seek out religion for yourself, seek the instructor, reject the institution.

Atticus Finch: My Hero

I am watching another presentation of, To Kill A Mockingbird, and I am once again reminded of my favorite fictional character, Atticus Finch, the lawyer who seeks to free a wrongly accused black man.  If I should ever be a lawyer, I hope to emulate him in every way.

Jews and Palestinians

I was speaking with a Christian Zionist today, and I plan to share with her tomorrow that I think we can all agree that we humans do not truly possess the land;  rather, the land possesses us.  And it is commonly understood that the most mature and spiritually adept understand that the principle of non-possession provides a higher existence for the individual than possession of property;  therefore, the highest attainment of a Jew or Palestinian is to seek no land from God, only peace and the common good.

Lance Armstrong is Like the IRS

During my 40 day fast outside the IRS Regional Center in Austin, Texas in 2003, I was interviewed by Alex Jones' camera man, and that interview/ broadcast went all over Alex's tv system for the next four weeks.  I even met Alex, as they prepared to air the interview.  I was informed that about 450,000 homes in the Austin area got the basic cable shows, and I noted that my interview showed several times each day.

So it did not surprise me one day when a man rode past me on a ten speed bike to take a look at me.  He turned around about 30 yards from me at the street corner area and put his legs down on the ground.  He looked right into my eyes for about 30 seconds, then turned off to the left and rode away with his back to me.  The face, the body, the bike and the town belonged to Lance Armstrong, an Austin home owner.

I've often thought what he must have been thinking.  What I do know is that he, like the IRS, allowed a pyramid of untruth to build up around him until it forced him to puke up the truth of his doping to the world.  Like Lance, the IRS and the U. S. Government will one day vomit up the truth and reject tax slavery.  Lance is proof of that.
