Holidays - Did you know?

Did You Know?

Halloween is the second busiest selling season for retailers.
It is a $7 Billion industry.

Tax on You, Tax on Me

Well According to a news article from PC WORLD, the government is going to tax us on our internet usage. I hope everyone enjoys the free instant messaging and the free usage of emails.

Basically what congress wants to do is to add additional taxes to our already taxed internet. therefore if you have Dial up for 9.99 a month, it will not be about 10.50 give or take whatever increase they wish to choose. Same goes for AOL, Brodband, ADSL as well. The will not be adding the addational taxes for online purchases, but only for internet usage basically.

Rep law,ake says that "This legislation will help keep the cost of Internet access down so that all individuals can continue to use the great informational tool that is the Internet," Rep. Lamar Smith (R-Texas). How does this keep the cost of internet access down? You are raising our rates basically and but not increasing our internet access, bandwidth? I am not understanding you mr Smith.

Luck for us, this tax has been banned for 7 more years. Idiots. This is the third time that this bill has come to the senate floor .

Does this article fall under Right of Way or Righteous Way? Do you think that these persons had the right to tax individuals on VOIP? or Extra cellphones for the family. If the government wants to raise some money, go do a lemonade stand out in IRAQ or possibly bake some cupcakes and sell them there too. Bring out Troops Home and then we will talk about extra taxes.

Taking Advantage of a Situtation

How many people in this United States I shall say, would step up to the plate to take advantage of a hardening situation? If anyone knows or has polls on evaluated people on certain situations of how they would proceed, I would like to know this information. I am speaking of life or death situations. If a person had to put their life on the line, in order to save say the life of 100 people, how many would proceed with it? What if they knew the person(s)? If a person had to save a life of possible a family member or close friend, how many would proceed with that?

People are only here for themselves, and as individuals, we sometimes forget about others. We forget that we are not in total isolation from other beings; we forget that we are not separated away from others. Our world, as of any other time, needs to see this fact that we should focus on others rather than ourselves.

Here is a good example. Say a military man is fighting in wartime. He knows he can save about 100 lives, of our enemy. The enemy has waved the white flag and has given up. Now, the military man has vowed to kill our enemy on sight. But the enemy has put down their weapons and are ready to proceed with any constructive measures rather than death. What does the military man do? Does he proceed with killing our enemy to show other enemys that we, stick to our vows of killing another man to prove ourselves? Or does the military man acknowledge the fact that the enemy will convene and understand our reason for wartime, and not kill our enemy?

I hope people will understand our meaning for our existence. It is not to kill and violate one another. We are all brothers and sisters of our oldest ancestors. Let us fold our hands together with another, and let us work together. Not all of us are at war.

Think Outside The Box

As we grow older, we begin to focus on what we want to do in life. What we want to become, and how we are able to do it. How often do you hear children of wanting to become policeman or a fireman when they were younger? How often do you hear they want to become the President of the United States? How often do you hear they want to invent a new writing tool, or a new type of musical instrument? When children are younger, we hid them from many things. Yes, they can only understand a portion of what we think they can. They can understand a lot more than what we can give them credit to. If you involve your child in stock market information or information on biology or chemistry, do you think that child will have a better background of that particular subject? Well, yes most likely they will. This will give them a more advanced thought on what they want to become later on in life. Rather than the standard fireman or policeman, they will be given more of an opportunity earlier on in life and have a more understanding of our culture and nature of what is expected of us from life. I feel as though we are limiting our children and their ability to think outside the box. We need to bring to the table everything we have to offer and even more of that fact. Yes one day you can be an astronaut or a biochemical engineer or even President of the United States.

Filling the Void

So I have been thinking about it recently and have decided to begin writing my blog the way I have wanted to write my book. The right way. I believe this will be both my memories and my personal internal feelings on life and consciousness. So on that fact I will begin my blog as this.

How do we take criticism? Can we critique ourselves? Can we understand the fact that everyone in life is completely useless? Is life itself useless? The best way I can see life, in my own understanding, is pretty much the following: Your own life has no purpose, no usage, no meaning. We are only here to serve others and provide others with purpose, usage, and meaning. We ourselves, as individuals have no individual meaning. Being in a group, provides meaning. It provides that purpose of fulfilling the void, or the null.

How I see things fit, is we are all null. Everything around us is null. We as human beings use something once, and we are finished. We may use it again later on in a period of time or time as a fraction we know of. Only very few people in this world can have a real understanding of how we exclusively exist, and coexist with each other. The people who look and take care after persons such as these, know and understand, how beautiful they see our world. And it is such a beauty.
