Full Moon In Arachne

           

It occurred to me that I can paste anything I type in this file in its native green, since I’m on such a dark blue background.  The first paragraph of the last posting was in red in edit, but it came out green after publishing.  I’ve way given up on trying to figure out Bloggers font and color quarks.  Wednesday was a red letter day if you are one of those illegal aliens or children of illegal aliens.  Because a comprehensive immigration bill was finally voted out of committee to be discussed by the full Senate.  At least the wheels of progress are moving forward there.   This immigration bill is 844 pages and apparently you only have to wait ten years to apply for citizenship.  And if you are an agricultural worker or “guest worker” it’s only five years.  But they did get in an amendment saying no gay “couples”.  We don’t have to put “gay” in everything.  They say that forty percent of illegal aliens are in fact folks who have just over-stayed their visas or green cards.   Mario Rubio wants provisions to further strengthen border patrols.

Well, here come the gays.  The Boy Scouts bowed to political pressure and are now allowing gay scouts.  However they will continue to prohibit gay scout leaders.  I have such a revulsion for the notion that any 104 year organization should have to be subject to this experimental kind of “social engineering”.  The gay community are still whining about gay scout leaders not being allowed, so there is just no satisfying some people.  They’d have done better just to flip the bird to the gay lobby, and hope it wouldn’t be misinterperated, if you know what I mean.  I was never a Scout but I had a lot of friends who were.  And everybody regarded the Boy Scouts as a source of moral rectitude in their lives in a way you didn’t get, for example at the YMCA camps. 

This next story is even more disgusting.  There was a Starbucks coffee, and there was a married couple with a baby that needed to be changed because he had a full diaper, if you know what I mean.  But they were insensed that there were no changing tables in the restrooms.  So they just plopped the baby down on the dining room table and changed him right there out in public.  No need to mention that the smell from that must have been horrendous.  Since it was a boy - - there was also the possibility of him deciding he “wasn’t done yet” and shoot urine in people’s faces.  Rather than apologise for this “indency”  the husband didn’t like the way a water spoke harshly to him or something and so spills a big cup of coffee on the floor.  I can only imagine what hell it would have been for this business establishment if food and safety inspectors had been in there at the time.  Besides the smell - -  people could slip on a wet floor.   If I were running that business I would ban those people for life from ever coming in again, and believe you me I’d also let they know well that they were getting off easy.

In medical news they used one of these new fangled 3 D printers to clone some breathing tube so that a newborn infant could breathe.  Now months have passed and he hasn’t had any further problems.  They say antacids prevent throat cancer.  If this is true it means that whatever esophlogial reflex actions that throw up stomach acid- - that acid itself must be a carsinogen.  Hummm?  There was a study done a few days ago saying that industrial pollutants have far less of an influence of the rise in cancer than people thought.    They also maintain that it’s a myth that cancer rates are rising anyhow.  This group recommends reducing fat, exercise, and no smoking.   I think I’m getting a toothache.  I can’t find any localized places in this upper right molar but when I press down hard on it, it hurts.  Perhaps it’s only an irritated gum under a - - I thought this tooth was a crown.  (?)  I was intending to see the dentist anyhow.  

In Britain there was a savage attack on a soldier.  This black African convert to Islam attacked the guy savagely with a meat cleaver and then videoed himself talking about doing it in the name of Allah.  I don’t know for sure, but I bet if I look hard enough in the Koran I can find a prohibition against “Taking the Lord’s name in vain” there, too.  So it might not be just an outraged Prime Minister and the people of England, but he may have his own angry God to cope with, too.  I know what they say- - but at least when a Christian flies off the handle like this he manages usually to be at little ‘”judicious” and restrained.   Now you have these White surprimicist groups apparently mad at the cops for protecting Islamic Mosques in England from reprisal attacks.

That Arizona jury is deadlocked on whether to sentence that Jody lady who stabbed her lover 29 times to death.   Personally, I don’t see what their problem is.  However,  it seems that there is a trend anew for states to abolish the death penalty reason for a hose of disperate reasons.  I don’t think it’s a stretch to say that the death penalty will be largely eliminated from anywhere in the United States in the next ten or fifteen years.   If it isn’t newly discovered DNA evidence freeing the innocent- - then it’s accusations of racial bias and a lot more minority races being put to death.   The LA Kings may be meeting “Sudden Death” in San Jose in game six if they don’t get on the stick.  Losing BOTH games three and four to the Sharks doomed the Kings to having to go back to San Jose.   Let’s keep our fingers crossed they win game five tonight.

Never have I seen a person more “selflessly devoted” to the Cause of Evil than Christine Di Mira on Days of our Lives.  In order to “follow the script” laid down by her father, she’s going to have an affair with John Black in her hotel room.  Christine practically threw out Jennifer who came over to rejoice with her on the eve of her marriage to Brady.  But Christine knew it was a wedding that must not take place to go with “the plan”.  John Black has this convoluted idea that if he can somehow seduce Christine and have an affair with her it will “prove” to his son that “she is no good”.  I don’t exactly think that Brady will see his father’s actions that way.


So I guess this is the 38th anniversary of my reading “Arachne Rising”, a book on psychic causality - - in the West Anaheim Branch Library back in 1975.  We are approaching a Full Moon in Arachne.  Arachne the spider is the thirteenth constellation, which is the astrological sign of the psychic or “dark sciences”.   Of course you have the words “The 24th of May” cropping up in songs from Blue Oyster Cult, and Rush.  I have yet to know what holiday, if any, May 24th is.  It was May 24th of 1983 exactly thirty years ago that Gene Scott went off the air from KHOF channel 30.  For the next couple of years - - plus - - Gene Scott was not on television, and so he did the viewing area of Los Angeles a gigantic favor.   We had a party on May 21st  of 1983 organized by Ev in honor of his own graduation from Cal State Fullerton, and I have no idea what his degree was in.  We seemed to be having a contest with the neighbors to the northwest to see who could have the loudest party that night.  May 24th is also Bob Dylan’s birthday.
