It’s a temptation of
human nature, I suspect, to want to separate Cause and Effect from each other
as though you could live in a pure realm of either one or the other. But the truth I suspect is like the chicken
and egg situation. Every effect has a
cause, and every cause was instigated by prior effects. Some people like Fred Price would like to
take certain beliefs to extremes. In his
zeal for “Faith confession” he brags that he’s the Top and not the Bottom; he ‘s
the Head and not the Tail; he’s the Cause and not the Effect. But it dawned on me that certain rich people,
Barock Obama for example- - though successful- - live in a world of almost continual
Effect and aren’t the Cause of anything.
Obama hasn’t the guts to swim against the Tide as for instance Mohamed
Ali did. He’s perfectly happy to enjoy
all the perks of being President and being rich and the last thing he wants to
do is to rock the boat or get congress mad or upset the Military Brass in the
defense department. When Norman Goldman
speaks of a vote for Bernie over Hillary is somehow a Betrayal of the poor and
down and out, then I say that the statement doesn’t exist in a vacuum. Hillary has a track record and proudly claims
to be running for the third term of the Obama Administration, or perhaps the
third term of a Clinton Administration (which sounds vaguely
unconstitutional). So we have some kind
of idea what Hillary will be like as top dog.
(Maybe Wendy would prefer “top cat”) Of course I bought into this idea
of “The other side” (the underworld or
whatever post life existence there is) where if you are a “Once upon a Time”
fan, for everything in this world there is a copy of duplicate of it in the
underworld. My thesis is not that there
is “negative matter” but that we deem a bathroom scale as saying Zero when
there is fifteen pounds of air pressure all over it. So my proposed realm speaks of something “Below
apparent zero”. You can call it
anti-matter if you want. But it would be measured in a way physicists have never been able to grasp. In this realm of Pure Cause, one would not
even worry about effects. How does one
exist or plan in a world like that? You
wouldn’t in our current consciousness.
So it would be “another form” of consciousness.
Another murder has
taken place on the soap opera. But Kate
no way will be able to get away with pinning the crime on Nicole. Yes Nicole and Demas had a “lover’s quarrel”
but actually he was about to kill her.
But instead he decided to lecture what a great deal she was passing up
by not becoming his mistress. Nicole
left. Kate overheard the entire exchange
and she wasn’t very forgiving about being betrayed on what would have been
their wedding night in Las Vegas. I’m
not even sure Demas is dead. They haven’t
established that yet. If Demas is dead
Kate can make any claim she wants but nobody will believe her because it’s
common knowledge Kate and him have been lovers for weeks or longer. Whereas the same claim cannot be made about
Nicole at all, who as far as most people knew were never even an item. Clearly the rage will bubble through as Kate
relates her tale of woe to Roman and he will figure it out that Kate killed
Demas. Meanwhile Nicole ran to Dario for
comfort.
C-Span had an interview of Mitch Mc Conell by
Lamar Alexander of all people. Mitch had
polio from age two to four which affected muscles in one leg, but his mother
was worried about his “premature walking”.
She took him to Warm Springs, Georgia where he was healed. They next thing we know he got in a fight
with some kid. Then he attended Martin
Luther King’s “I have a dream” speech.
He registered as a republican and got a job as some congressional aid
barely 21. In 1964 he voted for Johnson
because he didn’t like Goldwater’s stance on the Civil Rights bill. His term paper in college was on Senator
Henry Clay, whom he admired. He always
goes to all the University of Kentucky football games. His closest election was in 1984 when he was
thirty points behind his Democratic incumbent opponent, who was well
liked. But he got a campaign guy and
found a way to beat him. His other
electoral crisis was just two years ago in 2014 with this raft of conservative
republicans running for Senate. A bunch
of them had lost in 2010 and Mc Conell joined a group that kept these same
loser conservatives from running again.
The interview was informative.
I had more of Shawn Hannity on. Hillary appears to be in more trouble by the
minute. Shawn is continuing his tyrade
against that judge who is hearing the Trump case. Shawn says he should recruise himself. At best, it seems like a dual of the
con-artist universities. But other republicans such as Newt Gingrich has condemned Trump's attack on the judge. There is also this from yesterday. I
watched “This Week” and it was Hillary Clinton in a lengthly interview. Then it was Senator Corker of Tennessee or
something. He was supposed to be
endorsing Trump but found it nearly impossible to say one thing nice about him. This is a problem Trump and Hillary alike are going to continue to have. Those in the know say the Trump campaign is falling apart with key staff people not being hired. Then it was some Republican official followed
by the roundtable.
Clinton has a
University with a lot of disgruntled students also. Bill turned on Eye Witness news on. The jury bequithed ten death penalties for “The
grim sleeper” as he has become known as.
They ruled he should be executed once for each of the ten murders.
This
is Monday June 6, 2016 and I guess it’s the anniversary of Robert Kennedy’s
death after lingering near death for a whole day. I’d feel more organized if someone would pick
up that big plastic baggie of clothes that’s been sitting there for over a
week. I shaved this morning getting the
hair that’s growing down my neck. That’s
been more of a problem lately. But I
don’t have as much hair growing down my back lately as I did say ten years ago
and Federico would comment on it- saying I was a hairy guy. Supposedly women don’t like men with hair on
their back. I got my medication from Ida
and it was a long line like we’ve been getting so much with all the replacement
of staff. Ida is one of those names you
hear in knock knock jokes. Free Speech
TV has fixed their live feed problem. Of
course they spend the time shoveling dirt on Bernie. Can’t they give him one more day to campaign
in peace? Changing my mind, I decided to
add a few more cat and dog pet names to that blog post. I had “boots” down there twice. I went to the store at seven and spent three
dollars on cigarettes and a dollar cup of coffee. I’ve been over-spending the past five days
and need to get things under control. I
took the cup first here and then went into the dining room with it. I trimmed my finger nails which I do once a
month (whether they need it or not – old joke).
Actually I’m part cat and feel naked without finger nails. Judy (from around here) keeps asking about coffee at the store
but apparently she never has any spending money to try it. It’s still “the end of the month” till
tomorrow for a lot of people. We had
oatmeal followed by two waffles and pour your own syrup and a bacon strip. Rico filled my cup of black coffee to the
brim. If you don’t get black coffee here
I question the caffeine content of their “regular” coffee. The
new Patty doesn’t always smoke. But I
wonder living in this place whether she’s going to return to regular smoking
out of peer pressure.
