My grandfather, God Bless him and may he rest in peace, paid cold hard cash for anything he ever bought in life. He paid cash for his cars. He paid cash for every house he ever purchased. His philosophy was simple. If you couldnt pay cash you couldnt afford it. Back in his day, if you didnt have the money for something, you learned to go without, to "make do," with what you had, and,.. you learned to survive. Nobody liked to have to ask for anything, let alone to borrow money. It was like admitting that you are a failure. If word got out around the neighborhood that someone was looking for a loan at the bank, the people would say, "Poor Mr so-and-so, he must not be doing well." In my grandfathers time, it was an embarassment to have to ask for anything. The measure of man was judged upon how well he could provide for himself and his family on his own, so you can imagine what a humbling experience it would have been to have to go "a'beggin'" for a loan. How far we have come from those days!

Today, everybody is asking for everything that they cannot really afford, houses, news cars, flat-screen TV's, computers, IPods, stereo systems and other electronices, designer clothes, etc. We are a society based on CONSUMPTION:

and our whole banking system and economy operates on the continual issuance of credit & debt. There is no such thing as "real money" anymore and there hasent been for a long long time. There is nothing behind our money to back up its value, nothing but the "promices" of the issuer. Our money today is just printed or struck creations of new debt represented by little pieces of paper and medal coins:

Leashing the Dogs

Well we got a big enough back yard alright, that is for the two little Lasha Apso dogs in our care. They have plently of room to run back there, but the problem is, they rarely ever do! I let them out to enjoy the sun and have a romp around, but all they seem to want to do is "their business" and then ask to come right back in. Sooo, I got the idea the other day to take them for a ride way out in the country somewhere, where it would be safe to let them have a real run. I was looking for someplace enclosed and away from the highways, where I wouldnt have to worry about them running into danger or if I called them and they wouldnt come.

I drove around for about 45 minutes til I came to a quiet cemetary well off from the main highway and was also well fenced. I was sure I had found the perfect place! I pulled in to see it was quite large and meticlously kept. I drove to the back towards a wooded section but as I was gettin ready to pull over and let the dogs out, I noticed "Dogs Must Be On Leashes" signs all over the place. Drat! I thought. That does it, we're going home! And then I had a second thought,......

I pulled the car over neath the shade of the trees, then got out and went round back of the car and opened up the hatchback to where the two dogs were anxiously waiting to go out for their romp. Good thing I bought leashes cause I most certainly didnt plan on using them this day, but thought to bring them along anyways, just in case. I attached the leashes to each dogs collar, a pink leash for "Emma" to match her pink collar and a blue leash for "George" to match his blue one. Then I ordered them out of the car, which they happily obliged. Then I told them,.. ""go on," "get," and "run," repeating it enthusiastically over and over for them to "go on, until that is just what they did. They commenced running and romping far and wide, stopping occasionally to sniff the new smells in the air and grasses, then running and going round and round again, in circles large and small. What fun they were having chasing eachother, .....and any squirrels, birds, chimpmunks or anything else that happened to catch their eyes. How cute they both looked running like crazy, two little white spots chasing eachother about on the bright green grass, running to beat the band,.... and dragging their colorful hot pink & powder blue leashes behind them! I figgered, what the heck,....what can anyone say? The dogs are, after all "on leashes." lol It is good to obey the laws, when practical.

A Transformation

Of late, it has come down to this for me,....the only people I can abide for any length of time are other people like myself who cant stand people. The more I get to know "regular" people, the more I am convinced people, in general, SUCK. It is no wonder we of compassionate hearts turn our sympathies, indeed, all of our energies, into helping the innocent, voiceless animals. They are 1,000.000 times more appreciative than any human could even imagine to be, same as they are forgiving of our own indiscretions inflicted upon or towards them,... and will remain loyal to you for life as they know no other love but unconditinal love. If you can find ONE human in your life time to stack up to these "animal capabilities,".....hold onto them and revere them, for they are a rare "human-kind."

LOST RELIGION

After viewing this video today, I fear I have to re-think my religious philosophies; I may be left with nothing to believe in except for myself, the sun, the earth, the moon & stars and the "natural order" of things; view this astounding vid and see what you think for yourself:
