Hey Soundwash===how do you come to the truth before it is generally recognized?

Magnets and all?

*shrug* -no clue…well..

I find all aspects of life very interesting. Coupled with an innate abilty to see subtle patterns that escape most, it all seems obvious to me…if i open my mind a little.

-especially since i’ve been sniffing around history and symbolism as of late.

seems to me many aspects of history are is repeating themselves.

my magnetic nuttery comes from just loving science, space, electronics and magnetics as a kid.

you do not need to be a genius to figure this stuff, once you have access to enough data.

the rest of it, especially were this country is concerned, apparently was pre-planned ages ago.

I’m also extremely interested in seeing how the next four (then eight) months play out. There is some much written about this “time” -in metaphorical history.

whether the two revolutions will happen (one of thought) and whether we actually evolve as a people. -it all starts this year.

the only reason i’m actually paying attention this time is because i’ve had insane experiences of synchronicity the past seven-eight months..and have “new eyes” to watch it with too.

-anyway.. too much has been put in front of me for it not to mean something.

The only thing that sucks is, I live next to water. (and moving is a no go at this time) Everything i’ve been researching planet and solar system-wise leads me to the conclusion that we are definitely going to see a major event in the oceans very soon. (the fish that disappeared this summer is a
definite pre-cursor)

if I make it through that, it’s going to be one hell of a roller coaster ride after, -and I’m all in..
——————————
i wrote a whole other rather introspective [mechanics] response to your question. -however, it was more for my benefit..so i did not post it. it will show up elsewhere though.

(and i’m still not sure if you even actually wanted a valid answer
*shrug* )

——————————–

(oh, btw.. apologies for the lame attack several days ago. i don’t know what possessed me. i realized a few hours later in the park, your remark was actually some slick sarcasm.. which on occasion, takes me a few hours realize…if ever.)

-open’s mouth, inserts foot.

#22–sound==it may not even be true, but it is very pragmatic: sound the inner alarm when you are convinced you are right. Wisdom more often comes with uncertainty.

Yes, I believe, to varying degrees, everything I post. So, “how do you come to the truth before it is generally recognized?” In my self deprecating world, the hackles would be so far up, I couldn’t get my jacket on.

Psychosis is individual. Truth more general.

#4 – I agree with you, ECA. In case anyone is still reading this. Or checks it out, in the dusty archives of DU.

The poor state of the US health care system has been going on, at least as long as this Global Warming supposedly has. Hey, maybe they’re related! But all you hear the screaming memes say about fixing US Health Care is, “The Government can’t run shit.” “They’ll make it much worse.” and “Where the hell is the money going to come from?” All valid arguments. If not prematurely defeatist.

But when talk of Global Warming is brought up, why doesn’t the same criticisms apply? Suddenly it’s a case of, “We can’t take a chance, not to do something. Or we will all die.” Hmmm. Well, that’s not been proven. It’s just a huge leap of the facts, to say that the climate will keep getting worse, until we all fry. And if Hurricane predictions are any indication. I’d say we should trust the so-called Climate experts’ long term forecasts.

But I do think we can believe that if US Health Care isn’t fixed soon. What passes for it now, will crash as burn, just as the mortgage finance industry did last year. And the Government (aka Taxpayers) will be bailing out hospitals and Health Insurance companies. Just to prop up a system that could have been fixed long before. In the end, we will pay for Health Care reform. Whether we like it or not. Only doing it now, and getting it right, will save a lot of grief years down the road. When it will cost a lot more, and we’ll be so desperate, we’ll accept anything that offered. Even if it’s some very bad solutions. And they will be. You can count on it. But right now, we’ve got a bit of breathing room to try and do reform right. So naturally, we won’t. Face it, we’re screwed.
