I'm mad as hell!

[raulduke]

Haha, great thread. I love that movie. Still relevant after 32 years.

I even started a thread awhile ago just like it, I'll copy and paste the OP here.

Anyone seen "Network"?

They don't make 'em like that anymore.

Anyway, I was particularly "mad as hell" today when I saw that my favorite disc golf course at Jefferson Barracks park was closed for the afternoon, because the national gaurd was conducting training maneuvers. I know that normally this would not necessarily be something to worry about, but as we all know, as of Oct. 1, posse comitatus is ostensibly suspended and at least a moot point.

I would really hate to be a brand new enlisted private, when they hand me my new gun and say, "go point this at your nieghbor".
I am really interested to see if the ACLU's FOIA request garners any useful information.http://www.aclu.org/safefree/general...s20081021.html

So, I just stuck my head out the window and yelled. Nothing happened yet. Maybe you guys could try?

peace please.

The responses got a bit strange at the end and my last question was never answered. I'm still pretty confused about that.

p.s nothin' yet from the FOIA requset of course.

Yeah, we will see what the ACLU says or does. Probably will get buried or better yet ignored.

History repeats itself eh? I love this clip and think it is as relevant today as it was back then. The only problem is once you yell and say you want things to change you need solutions to make things better. Kind of like Obama and his minions wanting change, change, change. But change to what? I guess we will find out.

The change we seek is the INTENTION we put out. " For the highest and best good of all". The rest will fall into place.

ALMOST 3am UK I JUST LET THE DOGS OUT AND IT FELT GOOD YELLING I'M AS MAD AS HELL I'M NOT GONNA TAKE IT ANYMORE AHEEM I AM BRITISH AND LIKE ALL BRITS A BIT RESERVED THE DOGS RAN BACK IN, A FEW NEIGHBOURHOOD LIGHTS WENT ON, AND I WOKE OUR LASS UP, I'M GOING TO BED BEFORE THE BOBBYS TURN UP................................................ ...........BUT IT FELT LIBERATING

That is great. I have yelled outside a few times lately. It helps.

[Ampgod]

At the beginning of my process I was very angry and it motivated me to no end!
As knowledge came in I started to understand more of the bigger picture.
Then I chilled out quite a bit.

Myself, I don't think I'll hang my head out the window to yell, but if I heard someone else yelling, I'd SMILE a lot. I tend to write letters. For instance, here's a note to the Chairman of Lloyd's of London (Peter Levine).

My Dear Lord,

Is this true? Does Lloyd's truly insure risk linked to the Burmese junta? If not, thank goodness! If so, please discretely wipe your hands of blood and suffering, while putting money in your pocket. No badness will be thanked. In fact, it will be boycotted.

A full disclosure of all Burma-related risks would be welcome, in order to ensure investor/public scrutiny and decisions. There absolutely must be alternate ways to earn a living, where one's occupation does not kill other people, e.g. farming and midwifery.

I also just CHAT up the day. So, when I'm at my local convenience store, with marketing TV monitors on either side of my head at the till, being irradiated by chewing gum promotions, I'll ask the guy, "You know, what's up with these monitors? They kind of, you know, clamp my head. I can't even see you there, because it's, um, this blinking gum and soda is blinding me." (Which is true, it's like a night vision effect.)

My kids know already. When I say, wow, that really pis*es me off, I'M GOING TO WRITE A LETTER. Maybe it's futile, but it cheers me immensely. The thing is, I often get letters back, thanking me or, if not that, then a show of engagement to begin dialogue. It's all good, I think.

There are still fights I have burning.

Hi Dan (and others of course),

It might be not so difficult after all ...
We do NOT need anyone for the change except ... ourselves !

If we simply stop feeding the system, the system will die.
But you know what the difficulty is: the difference between theory and practice.
How many people are willing to give up their current lives and alter it in order to get the desired change ?

When you would have sent a warning video to lots of people on September 10th (2001) about 95% would have responded
"I have no time for this" and just went to work the next day in the WTC towers.

Everything comes with a price tag. We want it but are not willing to pay the price. It's an exact parallel to the credit crunch.
We consume on borrowed money ....

I know it isn't easy but it is the only way ... here are some tips to get going:

- plant something
When you eat a tomato don't throw away the good stuff. Keep the seeds and get something growing out of it.

- measure how much water / electricity / gasoline you use monthly
Try to reduce it every subsequent month ...

- plan your trips more efficient

- try to reduce the amount of waste in your bin each week

The more you get the hang of this the less dependent of the system you become.
It will also increase your feeling that you can still 'master' the game ...

Just give it a try, you'll love it in the end.

Cheers

P.S. I am quite sure that others are able to complete the tips list with huge amounts of their tips (finally thinking radiant zone )
