To paraphrase A. Einstein?, When intelligent people refuse to participate in politics, they'll be governed by the less intelligent members of society. That's apparent in the US where elections results are influenced more by those

If you're referring to the MSM in the US, I think it's because it's in Russia. Russia doesn't get much coverage unless it's about Putin. Alaska might have a similar problem, though on a much smaller scale.

It doesn't make sense to blow the money by yourself. Send me some. And while you're at it, you might want to cancel any insurance that you have. Afterall, what's the point? That will make more money available to blow.

One thing the Russians have going for them is they're not denying climate change. That lets them sit down and think things through.

One interesting aspect of 9/11 is we never did get to see a shot or video of the hijackers as they boarded the flights. Or were cameras not installed at the gates back then?

Writing "quality content" takes time. with adblockers the norm, good writers have been put out of business. It's like what Uber and co did to cab drivers.

sept 11 was led by highly trained and organized people You wrote that as fact, but is it? Those "highly trained" guys could barely fly a small plane, but where able to fly huge airlines at top speed.

You can start by chanting HU [1] for 5 minutes every day. No need to go to a retreat or embark on a Buddha-type adventure. Just you, in your home, for 5 minutes every day. [1] http://www.eckankar.org/Video/play.php?name

You don't have to attend a retreat for X number of days to get the same benefit. Just 5 minutes of meditation or contemplation every day will give you the same or even better benefits. Just keep at it, but don't push.

I think that's just his way of saying that things we like to do or don't like to do in this incarnation are informed by events from previous incarnations. That makes sense if you believe in reincarnation.

It benefits every aspect of ones life. The problem, though, is daily responsibilities make it very difficult, nearly impossible, for most people to meditate that long every day. But taking time out to go inwards everyday doesn't have t

I don't see what's alarming there. The guy is staying true to what he believes, or does not believe. And he was explicit about it. If you recall, he said something along the lines of climate change being a Chinese fairy tale.

So how deep of a cut were you expecting?

by finid 10y ago
Just remember that whatever "savings" from these cuts are designed to fund the $54 billion gift to the military. So there's really is no savings.

So at the end of the day, the guy might be giving away $1 million, but it's likely he will also make more than that from the book sales, or at least something close. No wonder he has a million to throw around!
