July 4th is only a day, one that comes every year. Most Nations don't care about it or celebrate the 4th of July.
I don't think people truly understands what the "Revolution" meant, not only to America but to the World. Americans threw off the reigns of "Monarchies" and "Religions", both trying to tame the wild mustang the 13 Colonies had become to survive the greatest frontier the world had yet known, and show the World Democratic Republics were the only way for any people to truly know "Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness", because all men and women are created equal, all people the World over are created the same way.

Wow, TV just keeps proving me more and more right. ABC, and I dont blame George, hes just reading a prompter, I dont know what control he has over the content, but Im going to use what he said.
20 months of negative unemployment numbers and our unemployment rate STILL isnt above 10%? Lets do some math. You can only collect unemployment for 25 weeks. 20 months times 4 weeks equals 80 weeks. So MANY, MANY people who were the first to be laid off at the beginning and middle, like a year ago when 700,000 people were being let go a month have run out of benefits and are not counted in the unemployment

Home Energy Independance
What do Business and Businessmen do? Then invest Capital(Money or resources) into Property(Land or other type of asset) for the purpose of making money by selling something, right?
So my idea for Energy Independent Homes is Business 101 people, I wish to invest in every home so that every home produces Energy. I get my return by placing a 1% tax on the money made on Energy Production. Corporation headquarters in cities, large buildings, malls, and airports along with government buildings will always need energy, and if I can get that energy from millions of homes in America, and get

Judicial, Prison, Drug Policy
Judicial, Prison, and Drug Policy of course have to be tackled together in a comprehensive plan. Doctors have mapped the human brain with MRI to the point where they can tell what parts of the brain are being used when someone talks. When a person lies(makes up a story) a different part of the brain is used other than Memory.
Imagine being questioned at the police station with a certified doctor and an MRI machine. You would just be asked, Did you steal from so-and-so, Did you defraud so-and-so, Did you kill so-and-so, Did you blackmail so-and-so. Innocent people, in theory, would
My Train system is also a comprehensive plan that offers a multilevel solution to transportation, shipping, mail delivery, small business expansion, job creation and steady employment for years to come, pollution control, and freeing Americans to be able to travel and see this great Country of ours.
How to finance is always a big question. First, money for Highway construction will need be shifted away from an outdated mode of transportation based on a diminishing dirty Fossil Fuel, and shifted to a Magnetic Train system. I would also, if I were President, force Congress to add an Amendment to the Cap and Trade bill
Lighting Love
A candle burns in memory, light lasts for eternity
Every spot we see on the black canvas of night
A sun like ours with the chance for life
God to me is like Johnny Appleseed
Spreading seeds of life across his universal sea
Only pride dare makes humanity believe
They are the only life God created
It seems to me when we complain about being alive
We spurn the very gift of this wonder called life
Pride blinds Mankind from loves truth
God is constant
Men with God-like egos have divided him into
Religions defined and confined inside books
God is in the world, not paper boxes
God is in acts of love, not ac
I look out across the Political landscape of our Country and I see America being slowly ripped off of her foundations by Democrats and Republicans both, with the help of Lobbyists and other Special Interest of course. Americas leaders have lost direction, forgot what principles America was founded on. We, all of us, are responsible. We listened, we voted, we were persuaded by very eloquently words spoken by the smoothest talkers money can buy towards ideas that contradict with the Ideals of Liberty, Freedom, and Property promised in our Constitution, one of the two Documents our Country freed itself with and based itself up

Chapter 12
I opened eyes to amazement. Before these eyes, laid out like God would see, appeared the Milky Way Galaxy. Suspended in front of me were countless balls of light. Millions of pea sized, to grapefruit sized balls of flame containing every color imaginable. Orbiting stars were planets of various girths, from grains of sand to golf balls. One wild combination was a star and its planet and the planet was almost the size of its sun. Theirs was a wild dance across the cosmos, ultimately ending in destruction of one or both. How like first love. Meteors, Comets, and Asteroids wove around the stars a

Dozens of ancient farmers have gathered around a high priest, listening to him give a sermon in the darkness before dawn. He speaks of Utu, the sun god of Mesopotamia. I stand listening to this man describe the only god I have been allowed to know. How he, Utu, rises and sets, giving us light, protecting us from darkness as long as we follow his laws, and obey his priests of course.
With his mighty saw bladed sword of light, the great Utu thrusts his weapon through the east mountain. Utu slices an opening to pass, signaling dawn. The priest thrusts his empty arm out at a slight u

I started with the backstroke so as to enjoy the clear star strewn sky hiding around a large blue moon. No matter how long I might have to swim, I was determined to enjoy the excursion. My swimming soon took rhythm like the gentle waves around me. I got caught up in movement and started thinking of a surfer friend who once told me riding a wave was like riding a pulse of light energy that continued on forever through the universe. I lost track of time once again. Not that I lost track of it; time just didnt seem to be anything to me anymore but a measuring, a way to separate memories and

It was her screaming, Oh my god Jim! that woke me from a comfortable slumber. Mountains in West Virginia had been calling me to their picturesque scenery for a relaxing vacation amongst friends for a while now. Part of the group left a couple days earlier and would meet us at the lodge on top of the mountain. Eight of us were going up the hill to fetch pitchers of beer and shots of Jagermeister like any group of twenty some-things. Five people crowded into a newer, sporty red Pontiac behind the vehicle in which I was napping. The SUV was a silver, four wheeled burro carrying liquor,

I was expecting the stairs to be a test of patience and endurance, especially after being told heaven or hell awaited me, for eternity, all depending on me and my actions; yeah, no pressure. Imagine my surprise when a light appeared suddenly atop the spiraling steps. I paused in surprise as St. Peters voice sounded from thin air all around me. Expecting a movie like scenario of unending stairs? His laugh then faded to silence once again. Feeling relieved at the sound of someone elses laughter, I began chuckling myself. Feeling better, I started up the stairs until they e

I hurried back to the stairs hidden inside the cave. A fog developed as I started upstairs once again thinking over the many types of slavery I never knew existed. Walking a tight spiral into what I hoped would be heaven, I observed the steps marching at me like some unending army. I swear I heard St. Peter chuckling once during the climb, but the noise was strangely drowned out by Warpigs, the Faith No More version. Eventually I started to think I was trapped in an Escher carved stairway. Relief surged in me when the dissipating mist began revealing a grainy b

I traveled a short distance from entrance to exit within the caved in building. Once outside in the light, I found my self on a sandy beach greeted by the feel and fragrant smells of ocean air. Surprising me in its strangeness, Truth Hits Everybody by the Police started spinning in my ear as sunlight bathed everything. After submerging my soul into a gritty, bloody world; looking to a sunset brought renewed hope, because I saw that burning orb was a wonder in itself. I never knew sunny orange could express itself in so many shades when muted while falling into heaven as Atlas keeps h

Stepping out of the tent brought something unexpected. Imagine my surprise when I stepped into a trees heart, seemingly lit by twilight as Pink Floyds Money started. Dark brown wood full of thick grains made up the floor, walls, and ceiling. Strength surrounded me like the toughness of hickory. I caught a whiff of something remembered, something familiar, like the spice of past dreams.
The small antechamber I was standing in contained carved nick-knacks and old things. I was reminded of the Natural History Museum in the Nations Capital. Both hold items and objects like

Chapter 6
Past the dark portal I found a pleasant, almost picturesque forest. If all the woods I had ever rollicked through could somehow be pulled together and a perfect average produced, it would be this forest I now found myself walking. A plain dirt path faded away into lush arbors. Feet made light by such a serene scene began meandering down the twisting trail as my mind wandered over visages of great men and the wisdom imparted to me from across the gravest of divides.
Pulling a mind away from such deep ideas and thoughts can only be done by distraction; so I closed my eyes and took a deep breath.
Going Up Through The Looking Glass
Chapter 7
Lack of light made the portal seem shiny and gave off a feeling of being dirty. Like oil on water, a black film stretched across my only escape. I did not really want to walk into this door of liquid night that seemed to only reflect light. Passing through the opening left me grimy feeling, like the darkness was alive and wanted to seep into skin to attack the soul within. I felt the lack of light like never before. Stumbling to my knees on the other side of this new reality, I couldnt help notice the gray stones beneath me as Hank Williams Sr.s voice filled me with his uplifting son

The Legendary Thunder Wolf
The Legendary Thunder Wolf:
In the darkest of times his tale is told.
The Thunder Wolf of legends old...
He came from the mountains on a stormy night
To save the Lycans from a dire plight...
Our race was young and growing still
Born into the world by Luna's will.
She gave us hearts of the purest light
And told us that the world was bright.
But Luna was a child, small and naive;
She saw the good in which she believed.
Sadly for us, we lived the truth;
As we were hunted for fang and tooth.
Knowing nothing of weapons or war
We were slaved and broken to our very core.
It was then that he came, hammer in hand
And he swore to us to
