Optimism -In Search of the Real Thing


I had a dream that a group of us were in some secret government organization like the CIA where we were constantly being sent overseas.  Some people found it difficult to maintain romantic relationships and I had to question no matter how many promises a couple of lovers made to each other at the time, how would it be when they were separated a few months?  In this dream Nicole from the soap opera and I were friends, and I definitely wanted it to be more but was unsure how to approach her.  I woke from this dream thinking how Christianity had messed me over in the past.  I was thinking of that John Sinclaire song of Lennon's with all the "You got to - got to - got to" set him Free - - -  in that case.  I was thinking of "You gotta gotta gotta Give It Up".  Christianity should give up trying to perpetually keep people devalued and in a psychologically dependant state and the victim should just "Get Over It' and move on with his life, and start really living it.  One of the Federation people appeared to me and I snapped at him and said "You're no better than all that religious crap as far as really doing something to make my life better".  He responded, "Well the difference is that We never claimed to be God".  Later I found out that Mal Evans heard about this exchange, or was told - - - and he rebuked the guy saying "Well, actually we DID pretty much tell those people that we were God.  Don't fault them".  The trouble is that God himself appears to be running around in his underwear looking for what clown suit to wear today - - and he tells everybody he sees "I'm not God".  In prophecy (Maybe it's in Zachariah) it was predicted that a Prophet "would be ashamed of his prophecies in the last day and say "I am no prophet, I am a farmer, a tiller of the ground".  This may be the same man of whom it was said "They will ask you where you got those wounds" and he will say "These are the wounds I received at the hands of my friends".  You know- when you hear me talk about "Judy" many of you might picture the Judy in the Leslie Gore song, "It's My Party" and 'Judy's turn to cry".  I kind of pictured that Judy as kind a younger Sheila Summers from the old Bewitched show, with her mean smile and jet black sprayed down hairdo.  On Saturday Judy made the remark about since Socialism is taking over in France many rich people there are fleeing the country rather than pay 75 percent of their income in taxes.  First of all up till 1981 we in this country had a 70 percent maximum rate and we did just fine.  But I responded saying something like "Well here they don't have to leave.  They can continue to profit from this country and keep there money in the Caribean at nominal tax rates".  Judy said "Well, it's their money.  They have the right".  Actually whether they really do "have the right' is in question.  But then Judy slipped in the singer 'Suppose I needed money for knitting and I came and demanded that you give me your cigarette money.  You wouldn't like that".  That wasn't a bit funny in light of I'm only HERE at great economic loss to myself because THEY put me here, and I'm lost my inheritence that they still have from my Mom.  She said this all because I believe the rich should pay 35 or 59 percent and not one percent or nine percent as others on the right have advocated.  Last week I was talking about my weight trying to be optimistic so I said "I think they are feeding us better".  And Judy responded 'I don't see how.  These economic times are really tough all around".  (unspoken: And it's All President Obama's fault, you know)  I asked Judy how Romney was going to suddenly fix this economy.  And she responded, "He won't, of course.  We're in too deep".  At least I'm the optomist about the country.  She's a pessimist about me.  If I want to be optimistic about something and am looking for people who are "part of the problem" and those who are helpful in a solution- - clearly Judy is among those who are "part of the problem".  People who get a bad cancer diagnosis from their doctors and are told they have less than six months to live, have every right to doubt their doctor's words and insist the he could be wrong.  Because- - the doctor is talking about a problem that in fact Might Not Exist.  But I'll tell you what the Pie in the Sky optimist does.  He is like Fred Price.  He endeavors to wish or "confess' things into Existance, which clearly DO NOT EXIST.  At the same time they will do everything they can to Deny THINGS THAT DO EXIST, as though they didn't.  This approach wont help solve a problem, but rather prevent you from doing constructive which actually CAN be instrumental in solving the problem.  The following matereal was typed only a few hours ago earlier today.

Rather than switch to computer KPOJ and Ed Schultz I continued keeping it live and local and listened to the Latinos on KTLK.  They said that Mitt Romney didn’t even necessarily even make the day to day business decision calls at Bain Capital but was “trained in college how to deligate authority to other in an executive capacity”.  So it may not be possible to even say that Mitt Romney had hands on “business experience” in the ordinary sense of the word.  Even if he “produces nothing” he might not even produce the accounting figures.  But any way you slice it Romney was out for himself and highly “risk adverse” in the way that normal business men think of it.  Randy Rhodes said Mitt Romney might have to share a split screen with Hurricane Isac in New Orleans.  Mitt Romney can talk about the debt clock.  The question is what plans he has to fix it, and the answer is that he doesn’t have any and soon everybody is going to know it.  It was pointed out there is a racist component that exists with Romney because why else put out the lie that Obama loves the idea of Welfare Queens who don’t work?  Or the idea that poor Blacks will be stealing the old white people’s medicare funds to fund Obama Care.  But the fact is the concention won’t be on today and they can easily cut down four days of speeches down to three days worth.  They could actually do what Glen Beck did and just have one day dedicated to speeches of a patriotic tone if they want and leave it at that.  They can do their little Broadway presentation in Tampa.  As Bill Press pointed out there is absolutely NO suspense.  There are no speeches where an unknown candidate or dark horse “catches fire”.  There will be no Edward Kennedies or Jesse Jackson speeches in this convention.  Everything right down to the balloon drop will be well crafted in advance.  I highly doubt whether any other candidate will even be nominated.  The Democrats began that paranoid tradition.  Every speech and every nuance will be dedicated to puffing up the “emty suit” Mitt Romney, making into something he is not.
Now this guy Nick has appeared out of nowhere on Days of our Lives.  I don’t know who he is but he attacked Melanie and murdered a man and used to live with Julie, or Maggie, or both and they “both love him”.  But Julie admonished Melanie “not to stand in his way” when it comes to testimony at his parole hearing.  I would have told Julie to go suck an egg and stalked off angrily, and not to mention more than a little offended.  I’m used to people lobbing hurtful barbs at me and one name comes to mind in particular for this.  Lucas is washing his hands of Samantha, for the millionth time.  Samantha believes she can get all these men to pine away for her while she herself doesn’t have the self control of a hamster but jumps into bed whenever the impulse strikes, with whoever is nearest.  I went to morning and afternoon coffee in the courtyard in a pretty much ditto performance of yesterday, betting two cups from Laura each time.  Over the noon hour I drowsed some before 12:30 but then became much more attentive and also listened for the last half hour.  Gloria Alred had this Black business woman who got screwed over by this White couple.  It didn’t take me much listening at all to deem that she had a solid case and should get paid everything she’s asking.  It warmed up from 2:00 on outside.
They had Mitt Romney’s five sons.  All of them are really good lucking, and four of them are in business, one is a doctor.  All of them are married and there are eighteen grandchildren.  But other than that all the questions and responses are pretty lame.  I guess FOX news people are the only ones Mitt Romney cares to be interviewed by.  Apparently the moderator of the upcoming TV debates will be biased to the political right, and that’s not a good thing.  Well they claim that Mittens is going to “reintroduce himself”.  They say “Mitt isn’t as emotional as John Boehner.  As for a favorite Roy Orbeson song, I vote for “It’s Over”.
I had Dr. Oz on for the majority of the hour after a little David Cruise.  It seems there was a major collision involving the Blue Line in LA, which is the one to Long Beach, I think.  They say a lot of undesirables ride that line.  That sounds like a Judy line.  You bring up almost any topic and she’ll turn it into a political argument.  But now they have these cards that you use, which make it harder to cheat or whatever.  Dr. Oz had secrets.  The Menus of restaurants have more bacteria on them than any other part of the establishment, and most of that bacteria is fecal bacteria.  Also they say don’t go to dinner after eight but attend during or before the rush hour because later on the food sits out and accumulates more bacteria.  You can go blind suddenly and permanently is a plastic sergeon goofs in doing surgery between the eyes.  Dr. Oz says if you must treat this area use botox.  Also if you undergo lifosuction on your thies, you will get big fatty arms in what is known as the “Popeye effect”.  The girls will love that.  In terms of psychotherapy and anxiety relief there are some “secrets” that are available to the layman now for the first time.  They say if you’re a food or cigarette addict you say “I welcome the discomfort.  I love the pain.  The pain will make me strong.  The pain is my path to freedom”.  It won’t work.  Also you are supposed to look at your image in the mirror or your shadow self and say certain things to yourself.  Later on Dr. Oz talked about various herbal remedies for various things, including some vodka and ginger cocktail- - that’s guaranteed to cure whatever ails you.
