James Horner is an award winning composer who has many major movie scores to his credit including, Cocoon, Aliens, Titanic and Avatar. He is not some weird new age guru so when he says in this video that the Egyptians recognized the sun as a source of information (we call it IF, Information Factors), we should listen.

Riots in the street in two cities. The videos look so much alike, if the reporters or the TV news programs switched them around, most couldn't tell them apart. One video shows people in Athens, Greece protesting 18% unemployment and austerity measures cutting the salaries and benefits of those who do have a job. Something we can all understand to some degree. The other video shows people in Vancouver protesting because their hockey team lost a game! How petty and juvenile can we get?

 

This picture was part of an album a friend of a friend posted on Facebook. I think it makes a good symbol for the new corporate America that is shooting itself in the foot by laying off many experienced, hard working, and dedicated older employees, then hiring new college graduates who will work for less money to replace them. A short term money saver with long term problems.

 

It's strange that Americans get upset about kings, queens and dictators in other countries sucking up much of the wealth of their country while the average person does without but we have few complaints about the corporate executive in our country doing exactly the same thing.

 

“You must learn how to direct kindly thoughts to all life, become conscious of all life (fish, plant, insects, birds, trees, people, etc.) on the planet as being alive and having as much right to live as you do; place them on a human level. You may be a little more sophisticated, because of your brain and nervous system which allows you to think more noble thoughts than insects, fish, or animals, but perhaps if the fish or the animal had your body they would be able to do just as well.” ~Gene Savoy
