People must understand that there has always been a conspiracy of business against the consumer. If there were real competition, you would see someone selling gasoline for much less than the usual price. Car companies would have retaliated against outrageous oil prices by producing super-high mileage cars. They could if they wanted to, but we believe their lies about not having the technology. Business has only two rules…..sell your product at the highest profit while giving the lowest value the customer will accept, and realize there is never a high enough profit. Think about the origin of a product, say it gets mined, the mine owner sets a price and everyone down the line, until the final consumer, picks up a profit for his part of the operation. These are all human beings, just like us, who through their businesses, decide on the prices we pay.  Do they really have the right to greed that can’t be satisfied? I guess they do, if we pay their prices.It’s up to us to make demands that they must satisfy, or they will have nothing to sell, no profits to make. A good start for us would be borrowing only at very low rates of interest, and not buying on credit.

I believe everything that happens has just the proper effect upon those to whom it happens. Think of Hawkings; a 46 year survival rate with a disease that usually has a 5 year max survival rate. Plenty of time for Hawkings to wonder whether it is so he can make some massive discovery, or is it just an extensive punishment, or the price of fame?He knows he doesn’t accidentallly have ALS, nor does he accidentally feel the way he does about it.Maybe this adversity will help  him build character for his next life. Maybe it is punishment.

Basically, I regard living as work. If you can share the burdens of life with someone you love, who loves you, that’s as good as it gets.

Toxic relations with those closest to us, seem to be the norm. It’s  chilling to think that in having babies we are creating our own enemies. Remember Freud saying that a patient was cured when he could return to the "normal unhappiness". Pretty sunny picture. Brothers and sisters are the closest relatives possible…so how can there be hate?

If you marry a man you love and have children together, then all the attending work associated  should be a labor of love. What better fullfillment than a loving family unit?That would be the best "living for yourself".

SHe"s wonderful. Sophie’s choice, and the australian mother whose baby was eaten by a dingo, were two heart wrenching peformances. She obviously can become the character. She doesn’t just pretend an emotion. .But around the house, do the kids say "come on mom, cut the act".???

Right on! Someone with REAL TASTE! Nobody seems to want to mention the best.

Unfortunately for us, the billionaires who own everything we need for our lifestyles, don’t have an understanding of the concept of "enough". Do you think as spirits inside human bodies, that we can ever know who we really are? Isn’t it more that we know how we feel?

I wouldn’t try to tell scientists there is a GOD, but their intensive investigations that reveal more and more comlexities  might be convincing evidence to them. It’s too bad they won’t find a tag saying "made by GOD", but  that might just be a practical joker.

I read about a woman who lived to be 117 yrs. Basically ate greens and drank buttermilk. No photo or comment on how she looked, but keep giving the beauty secrets of those ancient 40 plus yr olds.

I guess some people will never realize that on earth we are paying a debt for something done some other time, in some other place. We all get our"sign" of GOD’S existence, when we leave this one. The earth is exactly as it is meant to be, at every second.No joy or sorrow, boredom or excitement, sickness or health,happiness or heartache is accidental.

Scientists, above all people, should believe in GOD (a massive intelligence we can’t understand) . They spend their lives trying to unravel what is.

Socialism is such a failure, that America has to borrow money from socialistic countries to carry on it’s wars.Why would any sane person want to live in a country where the people’s money is spent on the needs of the people?

What the hell happened to the MARS bar? They named a planet and a company after it, but you can’t find it. It’s probably those damn democrats!

And your point is? You forget all the billions of dollars made by the gun/ammo manufacturers. This of course, is the real point of modern weaponry. This is all courtesy of corrupt politicians,and endless greed of corporatists.  The suckers are there to be used, so use them. When the colonist "insurgents" wanted to protect their newly won freedom, and you needed guns for hunting, stealing Indian land, there was a real need for weapons. Now it’s all about money, and the biggest moneymaker…WAR. The incident in Binghampton was unpreventable, as is everything that is meant to happen. You can tell when it is meant to be, because it happens. I guess that’s true of all existing conditions.We are just stone and boulders encased in a massive, moving glacier called life on earth.
