    I wonder if some of these leaders in the black community could be encouraged to join the New Age Movement and print local currencies that they link to documentary, reality and semi-reality film projects that address specific problems that their family and friends and neighbors are having????!!


    http://www.politicalforum.com/showthread.php?t=341564

    New Age Communities can print local currencies finance films that address problems?!



    At this time I tend to believe that New Age Groups may be the most likely to successfully initiate local currencies and use them to finance film projects in which homeless people could become actors playing the role of homeless people.... .which could easily finance their buying or renting homes????!!!!

    I can only provide this anecdote: I have a family member with four children who are home schooled and all four of them know that the earth orbits the sun. Your statement above is the kind that can be dismissed because no evidence is provided to support it. In short, you are stereotyping.

    Exactly.... and if we could get them to combine their efforts with the Gay Community....... the potential is nearly unlimited!!!!!

    NDE message that God's has many plans for the Gay Community???



    When I first read the following message I was rather puzzled!

    It took me about five years to begin to understand some of the specific plans that God obviously has for the Gay Community at this critical time in history!

    You said we should abandon ship. I said not without a solution.

    Should we abandon ship and go back to the way our education was done before it was made public? The people that want to get rid of our educational system, have yet to offer a solution to the problem in which the school systems were made public in the first place.

    Not exactly true. While the Republican agenda only benefits the upper middle class white and the wealthy (overwhelmingly white) upper class demographic they also reach out to the ignorant White Anglo-Saxon Protestants even though their agenda harms these very same Americans. The Republican anti-Hispanic, anti-black, anti-woman, anti-poor agenda is appealing to many WASP's even when that agenda actually harms them.

    Actually "conservatism" is a bad ideology. America itself was established based upon the progressive ideology that all men are created equal and endowed with certain inalienable Rights.

    The greatest problem historicalli was (and is) the "conservatives" that retained the belief that this only applied to "White Anglo Saxon Protestant Males" in America. It was the "conservatives" that retained slavery and denied equality to women in America after the Declaration of Independence. It was the "conservatives" that blocked Chinese and Catholic immigration. It was the "conservatives" that slaughtered the Native-Americans. It was the "conservatives" in America that retained the "divine right of kings" when it came to land ownership and the natural resources of the new nation. It was the "conservatives" that violated the Rights of every demographic group other than WASP Males in American. And it is the "conservatives" today that continue to advocate these same practices.

    America needs to be "progressive" albeit not always in the sense that "Progressive-Democrats" propose. We need to further embrace the words and meaning of the primary proposition established in the Declaration of Independence where it states:

    This was a beginning and not an end. We need to understand the inalienable Rights of the Person and so long as one person is denied their inalienable Rights then we have much left to accomplish. Half the people I discuss politics with today don't even know what an inalienable Right is and that is a disgrace and none moreso than the "conservatives" that generally choose to continue to believe that "inalienable Rights" only really exist for WASP males in America. The deny racial and gender discrimination that violates the Rights of minorities and women where their Right of Equality of Opportunity and Equal Protection Under the Law is ensured.

    No, "conservatism" is not a good thing because we need to be be "progressive" as a nation. We don't want to go back to "the way we were" because "the way we were" really sucked. We need to move forward (i.e. progress) as a nation and that is "progressive" and not "conservative" by definition.

    Money can take a number of forms and so "Volunteerism Dollars/Hours"... linked with film projects......that include interviews with students and teachers.......... designed to encourage both students and teachers to up their game.... has a lot of potential!!??

    For example.......... evolutionary theory can be quite controversial...... without a conflict a film is boring...... so adding a somewhat theistic version of evolutionary theory to the mix actually has a lot of potential!!??

    Well........ he is the first Republican Party candidate who expressed support for the construction of the Jerusalem Third TEmple Complex as predicted by Ezekiel.



    .....

    Mr. Jimothy Mason's campaign was especially interesting not only for his ideas on applying some aspects of the President Lincoln monetary policy... but also his idea of supporting the rebuilding of the Jerusalem Third Temple complex.... which in my opinion will play a significant role in the fulfillment of the Islamic prophecy regarding the turning green of the desert regions of the Islamic nations!!!!

    Rebuilding of Jerusalem Third Temple may be least expensive way to stabilize climate?

    Exactly!!!!

    In my opinion we need to revisit the President Lincoln Monetary Policy experiment.... and invest heavily in a project that actually could save New Orleans as well as reduce hunger worldwide!!??

    Still waiting Frank! I provided two different methods(subtracting 1 or carrying 1) to obtain the same answer.

    I wonder why you ran away once you realized that I provided what you asked for? Is that how people learn by running away just so they don't have to learn? LOL

    Another failed attempt.

    so, since you CANT prove me wrong, what reason do you have to continue to believe Im wrong? I would never act so stupid in public, so why do you?

    Just a tad late, no? Dennis there is a reason why governments prefer to borrow, it's so they can unlock the money people have saved, and they can just as easily print the money to pay the interest as they can issue it in the first place. The real problem is all that government spending has too small an economic multiplier, if not less than 1. Liberals argue that if we pay people to do nothing, they will spend it and 'stimulate'. That ignores the obvious fatal flaw.


    I still think your idea of growing pot in the middle east desert is pure genius.
