Controversy

 A Matter for Thought sees a lot of controversy about what is a real or true religion on YouTube.com and other places. Well, here's a definition of what true religion is: http://www.bing.com/search?q=religion&qs=n&form=QBLH&scope=web&pc=UE11&sp=-1&pq=religion&sc=8-8&sk=&cvid=765F3FADFF1E454395AA79808B49C770

In no way, is there any implication in the definition of religion as to whether or not any particular religion is about what is  true or should be followed.

So think about it. What constitutes a true religion?

Children Who Are A Product of Rape.

So a woman gets raped. So what? Is it violence against a particular woman, against all women or against humanity in general? What happens if a by product of the rape is a baby or babies?

Here's some links that discuss the issue.

http://www.rebeccakiessling.com/Othersconceivedinrape.html
This is a very important story that tells how children who are the product of rape. Is it really an emotionally mature thing to rape a woman or man? Think about it! There is more involved than a man and woman. This particular site includes stories about children who were conceived by the act of rape.

Do people need to be educated about this situation of rape that has saturated the centuries? Should we start an organization to try to prevent this situation from continuing? Please comment here.

 

Depressed? How About Some Good News!

WebSpeak Ezine decides that there is enough depressing news going on in the world. So for now on Webspeak Ezine publishes positive news. Webspeak E. also endeavors to make a positive contribution to the world and to help others to likewise.

One step is to have a page devoted to the praise of young people under the age of twenty-five. There needs to be more good said about the youth of the world.

Is there anyone out there in La La Internet Land that has something to contribute or say about this?

Computers Blogs & Social Media How Long?

There seems to be some discussion going on over the Internet as to whether computers, the Internet, blogs and social media are here to stay. Several articles appear on the net announcing the death of all three.

Here's some links about the death of the Internet:

Well the thought for today is about Apple. No not the one you eat but the one that makes computers and Iphones. If the reader looks over at the left hand of the page today there is a section of latest news. Seems Apple is in trouble. That's what the news says at the time of this posting. However since the news is dynamic or changing periodically I am posting links to the stories about Apple that concerns this post.

This is about Apple being in trouble. How accurate it is debatable.

First Sharp has a dispute with Apple. Seems "Apple owns a big chunk of LCD production at a Sharp facility. Now Sharp would like it back, thank you." Find more information about this dispute between Sharpat:  http://www.cnet.com/news/apple-sharp-said-to-spar-over-displays-dont-supply-to-samsung/ 

There is more trouble brewing for Apple according to the following article in the news. The title is "Someone is Beating Apple at Its Own Game". The article says that the biggest competitor against Apple is a foreign company. Here's the link: http://www.usatoday.com/story/money/business/2014/07/12/someone-is-beating-apple-at-its-own-game/12545893/

Does this mean that Apple's day is gone. Maybe. Yet Apple is not dead yet. 


Here's food for thought it could be just a brief glitch in Apple's life as a company. Then on the other hand it may be the start of a downhill spiral that will lead to the companies demise.

Britons Leave Heirs 'Digital Inheritance' And Other Digital Stuff.

It is now official! People are leaving their own personal part of the Internet to their heirs. Believe it and go to this link: Britons leave heirs 'digital inheritance' Notice that they are leaving their email addresses and information and etc. This is a smart move for people or not. Put your impute below.

Included in other news concerning the digital world encountered on the net, "Rigged Elections". Yup it has finally happened. A computer programmer is asked to create a program that will rig elections. This program cannot be detected. Here is the link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nOC5VpShOV0. Kind of makes one wonder if the politicians understand that people may get fed up with all these shenanigans. There are a lot of programmers out there. someone just may catch on even without someone coming forward and confessing. Computer programming is not exactly a secret anymore. Is this something Anonymous should look into?

Please think about the above. Post your comments below to let us know what you think. Let's have some dialogue here, please. Thank you and we look forward to hearing from you.

RE:Paper Money End Game?

 The article has a video included that explains this argument.   Paper is supposed to be replaced by something else. John Hathaway the speaker in the video says that paper money is a political instrument. That is its primary use. Gold is the new money or maybe the old coin of the realm being brought back into popular use. Makes since since originally paper money represented the gold that was at hand. Then most governments in the world went off of the gold standard. Was that a big mistake? Go to the site and see for yourself. Please feel free to comment here.

Paper Money is Nothing More Than a Political Instrument¹ is the title of an article found in the blog or web page titled Casey Research.² 

Here's  a book that discusses the discussion of the future of money; The editorial review calls The Future of Money, "A devastating analysis of how and why society depends on money. Money affects every area of life both for the individual and for business, socially, politically and economically. Clear-sighted, intellectually challenging, inspirational and controversial." The book is rather expensive though. However it is hard back and may become a historical keepsake. 


 The following The End of Money and the Future of Civilization is much more reasonably priced and may be more informative. The review for this book can be found by click on the right link image (Picture is link to site). The review includes this statement, "“Tom Greco’s The End of Money and the Future of Civilization is essential reading for everyone who yearns to restore sanity to our financial dealings and re-humanize our global economy." Greco's credentials validating him are included in the interview. This might be a good read for anyone interested in the economy and in the world's political scene.

Click on the image of The End of Money to the right and it will take you right to the site where there is more description of the product and you can order from there if you like. 




Need an economical  reader for these books. Well they have come down in price quite a bit through Amazon. Click on this  link  Kindle: Amazon's Original Wireless Reading Device (1st generation). Get the original wireless reading device for just $75.00. Pretty good price isn't it?Search Amazon.com for electronic reader here for other readers. some of them are more expensive.  

Here is a choice that is new. I have no idea how it works though. Apparently it is a palm computer. The price is pretty reasonable. Just click on the picture to the right and it will take you right there. The Pandigital Android is actually a palm computer. So there is quite a bit of bang here.

However, this does not do the same load of work or have the same power as a desktop, laptop or notebook. The review says that the Pandigital Android has some short comings according to some who have tried it. The review also mentions that these short comings mentioned are probably brought up because customers were expecting the palm to do the same amount of work as a desktop etc., the big boys of the computers. 

Any comment about  Pandigital Android is appreciated.

There is another e Tablet byViewSonic gTablet with 10" Multi-Touch LCD Screen, Android OS 2.2. It is approximately $279.99. Just click on the link:ViewSonic gTablet with 10" Multi-Touch LCD Screen, Android OS 2.2 for more information and to order.

RE: Human Rights

Across the globe people are starting to stand up for themselves. For the most part it looks like they are trying to do it peacefully. Yet governments and powerful individuals act like they are afraid of this. Why is that?

Check out history. It is evident that the more the people below the top 1% prosper the more prosperous the 1% is. So let the little man be prosperous. As for the little man. Here is AMFT's thoughts and words of encouragements for you.

RE: Things A Little Hot for Charles and Camilla

Pnnce Charles and Camilla just happened to be in the wrong spot at the right time. The timing could not be more perfect. Wonder how they just happened to be there? Was this a planned event? Is this one way to remove Charles and Camilla so William's ascent to the throne of England goes unimpeded? One can only wonder about this situation.

Students in England are disgruntled. They are upset because the government went back on a promise. The promise is no tuition hikes. Unfortunately for the students of England the tuition hikes are tripled now. Uh oh! Big booboo on the part of parliment. The trust of the people is betrayed.

However, I digress. Just how did Prince Charles and Duchess Camilla just happened into the thick of this mess. Did someone let down the security messures? Was this purposely done? Is the throne worth the threat to one's life and limb? One can only wonder.

Below is a video I found on MSNBC.com.

RE; No Raise for USA Social Security in 2011

There is no raise for Social Security in 2010. Why because congress believes that inflation is not raising.

This writer wonders if congressmen ever do their own shopping? Do they go to the filling stations to gas up their cars. Do they go to the grocery stores? Where do they get the idea that the prices are not going up? They are!



Social Security  Medicare & Government Pensions. Information by J. L . Mathews, Dorthy Matthews Berman, Joseph Mathews. Amazon decribes this as a guidebook through the maze of Social Security and Medicare options. At the rate the USA government is going there will be no options. Why? Because there will simply be no Social Security or Medicare.

Many in the government say that Social Security is broken. Well why is there public report of how the Social Security and Medicare funds are done? All the USA citizen hears is that the system is broke. Okay where is the dollar by dollar breakdown? Are there a lot of I.O.U.s in the Social Security pot. Who owes the Social Security fund? Who got into it in the beginning? Is the money ever going to be paid back? Is it illegal to borrow from Social Security?

Reading Social Security  Medicare & Government Pensions. Information may prove to be most enlightening for those who want to be aware of what is going on with Social Security in the USA. Read it to see if there is any mention of the IOU's that are supposedly in the Social Security pot.

Dear readers, Do you all have any comments or questions for the Congressmen. Hey how about putting your comments in the comment section here? Why don't we write Congress and the President of the USA with our questions. I would be glad to send them a registered letter and email with your questions.

So how about it? Got questions? Want answers? Put below in the comment section. Just make them legitiment serious questions please.

What is the projected future of Social Security. Well these two books have some answers.


The Real Deal: The History and Future of Social Security  is quite technical but Amazon critique says it is somewhat readable for the average reader. There are graphs and explanations gallore. Suggestions about what to do with future Social Security.

There is also the suggestion to require mandatory retirement accounts. "Now how is that different from Social Security?" this blogger asks,"Could it be that it will be a new fund that politicians can manipulate and borrow from. Borrow from with no intention of ever paying back?"

RE: Minimum Wage to Be Eliminated?

Take a peak at this video. There is a movement to lower minimum wage in the USA. What kind of affect will this have on the rest of the world?  Is the minimum wage actually anti constitutional? How about income tax?
Supposedly there is a class war going on in the USA. This particular party says that the Democrats are trying to push back the idea that is infecting the Tea Party Movement. The idea is that the poor and middle class is not working enough.

By the way, contrary to what this video and some politicians would have you believe there is a built in stair step that ups the age for retirement. People born in the year of this blogger's age bracket retirement age is sixty-six. It rises up from that on a year by year basis. So if you want your full social security and you are in a certain age bracket you cannot claim it until you are sixty-six.

Dear reader, do you suppose the two prominent parties of the USA, namely the Democrats and the Republicans are in cahoots? Think about it. What prevents the politicians from both sides getting together for a little conniving? Do we need a third strong party or maybe a fourth strong party for the USA? Why is it these other parties such as the Constitutional and the Independents never get any publicity or news on the TV, Net, and other coverage? Is it domination of USA politics by the two parties the one of them? Think about it. All comments are welcome here.


To quote the ad from Amazon on this item:

This groundbreaking manifesto is essential reading for tea party activists—or any American seeking to understand what the Tea Party is fighting for and what's next for the movement.
