a collection of selected political/spiritual/everything else essays and other writings of mine.
this puts me one step closer to writing a book of my essays and other writings :) I suppose I'll do it when I'm 5o or 70 or so... when I have a whole lot more writings and have accomplished more and am a bit wiser ;) but I hope to do it soon, by the time I'm 20 or 21. and I plan to run for Mayor of Tacoma. It would just be cool to say you've published a book and run for mayor before you could even legally celebrate your accomplishments with a pina colada.

STOP BUSH. THE WAR IS EVIL. This site is to spread the true message about George W Bush. He is a liar, thief, and murderer. This war is evil and must be stopped. This is not a "war on terrorism." it is a war on people. This country was not attacked because others envy our freedom and democracy. This country was attacked because our government has been treating them like they aren't even human beings. This is a war for oil. The troops giving their lives are not giving their lives for freedom and democracy.they're giving their lives so the big business and government tycoons can have their cheap oil. but they're going to drill in this country and destroy all the endangered, pristine wildernesses. All war is evil. War is not about fighting for fights or freedom anymore. it's about money. it's about dying for money in the hands of the few and the stinking rich. and of course the rich and government don't give any of it back to the people. the purpose of this site is to spread the message! We are against Bush and his administration. We must dissent! They must know that the American people, let alone people all over the world, will not stand for this awful war! show this site, spread its message, to everyone you know! I want as many people as possible to see this site! I want Bush and his lackeys to see it! If you see this, you will be stopped! We decent human beings will not stand for this! We've been lied to and shipped off to die for your oil and your money. We will not tolerate it anymore! Stop what you're doing! See the evil of your ways! Bush, you claim to be Christian. What would Jesus do?! What would God want you to do? How many wars did Jesus start? God is Love... Jesus is Love. Jesus is the Prince of Peace... Please, please, Mr. President... stop this evil war. stop sending your own people to die, or at least let the people know why you're REALLY sending them off to die. I try to see good in all people... I try to see that we are all beings of love and light. I have faith that Bush and company will come 'round, will see the light. I pray that people will see the evil of our ways. I pray that the fighting and killing doesn't have to continue. I can't understand why people have to continue dying. But I know it will turn out all right. Krishna and Radha/God/Jehovah/Yahweh/Shiva, Vishu, Brahma/Allah/Goddess and God/our collective unconscious loves us. We can stop the murdering and hatred. We will love each other as ourselves... we are each other. we are the world. we are the universe. we are all the same... we are God. We have the power and love deep within to stop this insanity! PLEASE... everyone... pass on this site... pass along the message of love... we don't have to kill to be patriotic. Questioning the government is patriotic... our forefathers expected us too. Please... open your hearts and minds... LOVE. make love not war. Tell Bush we will not stand for this. I have faith in people yet... we can do this toge

essay to come later...
freedom
our country is quite free... there are many things we can do here that we can't in many other countries... but the US is becoming more and more like those other countries we claim we're so much better than because of our freedom...
You are FREE, America, to do what we tell you. You are FREE, America, to do what we tell you.
we're entering an era much like the McCarthy Era.. somewhat like the Vietnam War era... but with much less advantage on the side of the true patriots, those striving to be truly free. racism abounds in police forces, protestors are teargassed, beaten, arrested... when all they're doing is excercising their constitutional rights... nonviolent demonstration and protest. A great example is the 99 Seattle WTO riots.
meat and dairy industries and the environment
meat and dairy are unhealthy. there are no "happy cows" as commercials claim. it's flat-out lying! animals raised for meat and dairy [with possibly a few exceptions to small family farms and true organic, free range farms [most "free range" farms aren't free range at all!], are treated like absolute shit. several animals are confined to the same tiny cages, with literally no space between them. meat is murder, and dairy is rape. that is the plain truth, and that is that. animals live awful, cruel, inhumane lives all over the the world. the meat and dairy industries pollute the environment, as well as our bodies. the industries are very much so subsidized by the government. without government subsidization, a hamburger would cost something like $30. rainforest is cut down for crazing land. human slaughterhouse workers are subjected to awful, inhumane conditions, as well.
animals are not ours to eat, wear, experiment on, or make them entertain us! any philiosophy or religion or code of ethics would not condone such inhumane animal slaughter and abuse and misuse.THOU SHALT NOT KILL
there are lies perpetuated by the meat and dairy industries as well as the government most of education that most of us as accepted as truth, when they all very harmful lies. such high meat and dairy consumption is becoming the downfall of western, particularly american society. it's all over the studies and the news. obesity, cancer, heart attacks, etc, which can all be caused by meat and dairy.
besides all that... if you wouldn't eat your cat or dog, why would you eat a cow or pig? all animals and Beings have their own soul, their own life, and the Gift of Live given them by the Almighty, by GOD Herself/Himself. Why would you want to take that Gift away from an innocent creature so much like yourself? Please... think before your next meal. consider vegetarianism. it's really not as hard as it seems.
here are some quick links:

Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine
FREE Why Vegan? actual, nonbiased information.
the site the meat industry wishes vegetarians didn't own
the truth hurts
media and free press
the media is part of the government/business cartel now... have you ever watched the news and really found out anything useful or important lately? protestors are beaten, the government is stealing and killing innocent civilians [our own and others]... is this stuff on the news?
sports
it seems to me that sports in America is a way to distract the general, lame, sheepish public from things the government does, like going to unilateral war on small countries, enact laws like the USA Patriot Act that steal our constitutional rights in front of our very eyes, etc. it's like American Gladiators in the 80s and early 90s... they're events/programs designed to keep Americans busy and dumb us down so the government/corporations can screw us from behind while we're fully and consciously aware that there's something very large up our rears. tv in general does this.plus billionaires like Paul Allen tear down perfectly good stadiums, build brand new ones. we vote them down twice, but they build it anyway, making us waste our precious TAX DOLLARS to pay for these stupid stadiums that people like Paul Allen could easily finance several times just with the money that's burning holes in their pants' pockets. so our money is stolen, and these fancy stadiums [that end up not working and more money ends up being spent for it] are built so our precious little teams don't threaten to find another state to play in... and then the players are very greedy and are paid RIDICULOUS sums of money.. I've seen figures of 20+ million per year, when they do absolutely NOTHING for society... they make it worse. meanwhile, what about our nation's unemployed, lower class, and homeless? they're still... well... unemployed, lower class, and homeless. but Alex Rodriguez? [A-Rod to Seattle fans] threatens to leave the Mariners if he doesn't get the following: 12 year contract for 23 million/year, private jet and charter service, space to sell merchandise in every stadium, free hotels for his friends and family, etc. what about the poor, exploited people from his own home country? [one in Central American, don't remember which one...]
so this is my problem with sports, and my view the conspiracy behind it. my solution? evict the sports teams, give them all regular middle class jobs, and let the nation's homeless and "unfavoured" live there!
class[caste] system
this is cliched, but true: there is a class war in America... American society is divided up much like India's caste system. How do many Americans feel about homeless? they're the "dregs" of society... they feel the homeless should just "get a job"... they're essentially viewed as untouchables...
coincidences
Here I will document weird coincidences that I've experienced, and try to connect them all together, in an attempt to show the interconnectedness of everything in the Universe.
