Why the man would wear black
Well, you wonder why I always dress in black,
Why you never see bright colors on my back,
And why does my appearance seem to have a somber tone?
Well, there's a reason for the things that I have on.
Why you never see bright colors on my back,
And why does my appearance seem to have a somber tone?
Well, there's a reason for the things that I have on.
I wear the black for the poor and the beaten down, (Care for the poor and less fortunate that outnumber you)
Livin' in the hopeless, hungry side of town,
I wear it for the prisoner who has long paid for his crime, (Police state, private prisons, no felony vote, welfare
But is there because he's a victim of the times. gutting, animals over human care, cutting elderly,
Livin' in the hopeless, hungry side of town,
I wear it for the prisoner who has long paid for his crime, (Police state, private prisons, no felony vote, welfare
But is there because he's a victim of the times. gutting, animals over human care, cutting elderly,
I wear the black for those who never read, benefits)
Or listened to the words that Jesus said,
About the road to happiness through love and charity,
Why you'd think He's talking straight to you and me.
Or listened to the words that Jesus said,
About the road to happiness through love and charity,
Why you'd think He's talking straight to you and me.
Well, we're doin' mighty fine, I do suppose,
In our streak of lightnin' cars and fancy clothes,
But just so we're reminded of the ones who are held back,
Up front, there ought 'a be a Man In Black.
In our streak of lightnin' cars and fancy clothes,
But just so we're reminded of the ones who are held back,
Up front, there ought 'a be a Man In Black.
I wear it for the sick and lonely old,
For the reckless ones whose bad trip left them cold,
I wear the black in mournin' for the lives that could have been,
Each week we lose a hundred fine young men.
For the reckless ones whose bad trip left them cold,
I wear the black in mournin' for the lives that could have been,
Each week we lose a hundred fine young men.
And, I wear it for the thousands who have died,
Believe' that the Lord was on their side,
I wear it for another hundred thousand who have died,
Believe' that we all were on their side.
Believe' that the Lord was on their side,
I wear it for another hundred thousand who have died,
Believe' that we all were on their side.
Well, there's things that never will be right I know,
And things need changin' everywhere you go,
But 'til we start to make a move to make a few things right,
You'll never see me wear a suit of white.
And things need changin' everywhere you go,
But 'til we start to make a move to make a few things right,
You'll never see me wear a suit of white.
Ah, I'd love to wear a rainbow every day,
And tell the world that everything's OK,
But I'll try to carry off a little darkness on my back,
'Till things are brighter, I'm the Man In Black
And tell the world that everything's OK,
But I'll try to carry off a little darkness on my back,
'Till things are brighter, I'm the Man In Black

Unions, Required Employee Savings, Backlash of Being Anti Global, Prices, Supply, Demand, Repeating History
Unions drive up cost to the consumer. What could replace this is to have companies and multi-corporations require to have either profit-sharing or mandatory 401k's for their employees and then you would be part of the greater good and contribute to the global economy. Lowering corporate taxes will help the incentive of companies returning back to America in some sense depending on when the numbers are crunched by multi-corporations and labor cost. Any rise in labor cost, the cost is passed onto the consumer, shimmies competition and the bottom line to the consumer, I know at least me, the price of that product is in front, not nationalistic pride in buying it. Protectionism, isolationism, and nationalism bought us from 1918-1944 the boom in the economic boom in neglecting the people, the common person, the Great Depression, 1929-38, the Great World War II and the Cold War because the League of Nations was not established. Now we are seeing an ugly head rising of repeating history. Being Anti-UN will backfire on us. Withdrawing from the rest of the world, nationalistic politics, religion in government, regulating the internet calling the media fake, fake news is what brought forth communism and Nazism, Fascism, Wake up America before it is too late and at this junction in progress with nuclear war. I hope in 2108 we as a nation come back to its senses.

I'm Everyday People
Sometimes I'm right and I can be wrong
My own beliefs are in my song
The butcher, the banker, the drummer and then
Makes no difference what group I'm in
My own beliefs are in my song
The butcher, the banker, the drummer and then
Makes no difference what group I'm in
I'm everyday people
There is a blue one who can't accept the green one
For living with a fat one trying to be a skinny one
And different strokes for different folks
Oh we got to live together
I am no better and neither are you
We are the same whatever we do
You love me you hate me you know me and then
You can't figure out the bag I'm in
We are the same whatever we do
You love me you hate me you know me and then
You can't figure out the bag I'm in
I am everyday people
There is a long hair that doesn't like the short hair
For bein' such a rich one that will not help the poor one
And different strokes for different folks
And so on and so on and scooby dooby doo
For bein' such a rich one that will not help the poor one
And different strokes for different folks
And so on and so on and scooby dooby doo
Oh we got to live together
There is a yellow one that won't accept the black one
That won't accept the red one that won't accept the white one
And different strokes for different folks
And so on and so on and scooby dooby doo
That won't accept the red one that won't accept the white one
And different strokes for different folks
And so on and so on and scooby dooby doo
I am everyday people
Vitamin C and Longevity
Nobel Prize winning chemist Linus Pauling was the most famous (of many) scientists taking up the mantle of vitamin C. In his books “Vitamin C and the Common Cold” and “How to Live Longer and Feel Better”, he claimed that the common cold could be almost entirely prevented by taking large dosages of Vitamin C on a daily basis. We’re talking here about dosages far higher than the feeble RDA (Recommended Daily Allowance), which is the amount described as “the level of necessary intake” – which is effectively the amount you need to take to avoid dropping dead. Of course the conventional medical profession sneered and tried to discredit him, whilst they happily slapped one another on the back. He took huge dosages himself, lived into his mid-nineties, and worked until two weeks before his passing. I wonder whether the “experts” who sneered lived as long or as healthily as him? The RDA (recommended daily allowance) for Vitamin C is 60mg a day, which is enough to prevent scurvy. It’s also roughly the amount found in a medium-sized orange. Unfortunately, though, the amount found in an orange where weeks have gone by from being picked, to being transported to the supermarket, and from the from the supermarket the shelves to your stomach typically is much lower than this. However, 60mg even from a fresh orange does not provide what most nutritionists consider to be a therapeutic dosage. Linus Pauling himself started on 3000mg (3g) per day, but gradually took more and more until he was taking 18,000mg (18g), of Vitamin C per day! Pauling believed that supplementing with megadoses of Vitamin C led to an improved resistance against essentially all diseases, and he suggested it increased life-span by up to 25 years. True he beleived in supplementing with a number of other nutrients too, but Vitamin C was very much the core nutrient. For more information, read Linus Pauling’s lovely article My Love Affair With Vitamin C (but finish reading this newsletter first!).

You Have Survived This Far
Too much thinking about things that might happen or did happen which you feel you are or were unable to control creates fear and the feeling of weakness. Are you in physical or spiritual danger right now? Cloak yourself in the knowledge that up until now you have overcome and survived 100% of all challenges that came into your life. Every challenge is a blessing in that has a lesson we are meant to learn to make us stronger and raise us up for the next lesson.
Don't Be Controlled and Live Your Own Journey
Knowledge. If you fear anything, usually it is because you lack knowledge about it. Many times the thoughts that control your perception of the world around you may create a sense of fear. Then there is media, governments, and religions that promote fear to maintain control over you. Learn to live in the now and reduce that which heightens your sense of fear. There is nothing to fear. Just be and be aware of all around you.
Most controlling institutions, control freaks, religions, and fanatics want you not to change and stay on the path without veering off. They want you to bring in others for their support and financial benefits to further their cause. You have an alternative to the media through the internet, social sites, friends and groups of social sites and google search to understand the world a lot better. Learn to live life as a journey, being yours and no one else. Learn from the past as reference, live in the now and make the most of it and plan the future from what you learned from both the past and now to improve your future and share with others. Social media is the best platform for this.
Be yourself and change it how you want to. Stay away from control freaks, fanatics, extremist, nationalist, cults, be diverse in all how you think and explore and develop your own style of critical thinking. Think free and be free-spirited and universal as one world in thought.

Fear, Life's Lessons, Past, Present and Future, Change, Detach, Your Journey
On some of my fears in the past. I looked at the problems with my reaction to things I looked at like catastrophizing and attachments to things and losing them. I learned how to detach myself from situations and circumstances. Acknowledge accept and embrace certain problems and issues and it helped me to deal with them.
We learn from our past and reprogram ourselves when we come upon a similar situation in life. It is important, even hard in anger, to realize in your mind, you must use reason, analysis, and logic before reacting to a situation and not fear it. Sometimes you have to detach yourself from people, situations and future plans in your journey in life. Acknowledge that it is better to embrace change and adaptation to your environment in which you are in control and no one else, embrace new ideas and concepts for the world never stays the same and that you must be a progressive in this aspect and not the prehistoric concept of being a conservative. Embrace diversity in thought in a universal aspect.
Free trade, open borders, free thought, free spirit and globalize yourself.

The World Stage, Nationalism, Isolationism, Good Time Bubble, Depression, Diplomacy in Preventing Wars, Repeating History
No the idiocy of it is that America is going back to the days of repeating history. Isolationism, nationalism, racism, evangelical fascism, prohibition, bringing it into government. They even have it installed in the White House with the military complex lobby. 1918, Woodrow Wilson tried to create the League of Nations to prevent another world ward. In doing so it did not get created. With America being isolationist, 1918-29, we did not involve ourselves in world affairs through diplomacy. Times were good with Coolidge and Hoover, then 1929 and the Great Depression. Prohibition from the far right Christians on alcohol, drugs created a black market, no jobs, banks getting robbed, etc. 1929, the New Deal reigned in and fixed the problem. 1930-38. We were still isolated from the rest of the world. 1933-43, Japan and Germany had their way with the world and then we waited and now had to get involved with not a choice in the matter from lack of diplomacy. Truman after the war created the United Nations, WW3 never happened. From 1948-to the present, we have only been in conflicts and the United Nations has worked to prevent a WW3. Now with the Trump administration supporting the church again into government and looking to the same policies as Coolidge and Hoover, we are repeating history, this time with nukes. With deaf ears, no diplomacy, not getting involved in the world stage without being imperialistic, we are setting ourselves up for the same future, which will lead to hard lessons ahead, interrupted international supply chains, market collapse and a coming World War with nuclear weapons this times.

Islam Evil or Christian Evil? A Response to
The Qur'an is a virtual declaration of war against humanity. Ordinary Muslims being unable to read the Qur'an is an irrelevancy and you know it - Muslims get them all understanding of their din from Masjids. Islam had a decline but it never fell, like other Empires - the originating Arabs just got replaced as leaders by the Turks, who were almost (what a pity) replaced by the descendants of the Mongols under Tamerlane. Islam has only ever brought terror, death, and slavery to the world, and it will completely implode once we stop respecting it as a "religion" and instead call it out for the evil political doctrine that it is.
It was Christians that ravished the Americas. Muslims and Christians always preach love but have always been killing each other, mainly because of oil. Religions are used as smokescreens for others to indulge themselves in evil with justification (fake justification). They exist in their holier than thou, hypocritical, self-righteous, greedy, prohibitionist, tax-free, con-artist worlds and some of them turn into cults which is worse than being on a drug. I think I will stick with my open mind, free-thinking, spiritual exploring mind, because there are 5000+ religions in the world today and growing and always branching out sort of like cancer.
Lessons in life and your journey to improve it through life long learning called experience and exposure
Anything that annoys you is for teaching you patience.
Anyone who abandons you is for teaching you how to stand up on your own two feet.
Anything that angers you is for teaching you forgiveness and compassion.
Anything that has power over you is for teaching you how to take your power back.
Anything you have is teaching you, unconditional love.
Anything you fear is teaching you courage to overcome your fear.
Anything you can't control is for teaching you how to let go and trust the universe...

The Internet, Mostly Factual, Some Fake, Internet Diversity to Replace Mainstream Media, You Must Police Yourself and Not the Government
You can can get more information in your cell phone now than you can in any school, but you can also get more misinformation,” says American-Canadian theoretical physicist Lawrence Krauss. And he’s right: we’re in an era where any human can access a previously unimaginable wealth of knowledge. This access has grown faster than our ability to process it critically, however, and what we lack is any decent filter to weed out erroneous or partisan information. Children are the most susceptible to this, and Krauss argues that teaching children how to question information—essentially, how to make children skeptics—may save humanity from a dumbing-down. Lawrence Krauss' most recent book is The Greatest Story Ever Told -- So Far: Why Are We Here?
One of the biggest surprises of the Internet is we thought when the Internet came out it would provide everyone new fundamental tools to learn about the world around them, and it would actually remove the censorship and information that we get. Before the Internet we used to get our news from three TV stations and it was carefully edited and carefully described, and after the Internet came out you could search news sources from around the world—great! The problem is the Internet also became a source of misinformation. There's that very famous cartoon that says, “On the Internet no one knows if you're a dog," with a dog typing on a typewriter. You don't know the source of your information, which is the beauty of it. It was the reason it was actually created by particle physicist working at the Large Hadron Collider, or at least CERN the laboratory where that now is, because thousands of physicists needed to communicate with information without caring about where the source came from.
But the fact that the source is shielded is, of course, a great concern nowadays in the political world among other things, and so we have to think about ways that we can address that.
Now, of course, information providers can try and work on that too, but we basically all have our own responsibility to become our own filters. And that's why it seems to me the educational system has to provide those tools, those filtering tools. And that's one of the reasons why I think science is so important because of its built-in filtering tools.
It recognizes that we all want to believe, and as Richard Feynman said, "The person you have to question most is yourself.” Knowing that you want to believe when you read something that validates your beliefs, you should be skeptical of it and your beliefs and you should look out for other sources.
So we have to train people that one source on the Internet is not good enough, you have to search broadly to see if it's validated. More over, you have to empirically test those ideas. If claims are made, you could look out and look at the data to see if those claims are validated.
We all have this new responsibility, because we have a sudden wealth of information, to become our own filters. And I can't see any way that we can move into an Internet-guided world where democracy remains vibrant if the public doesn't have the tools to distinguish sense from nonsense. And for me that's one of the reasons why I talk about science, because I think it provides us one of the key tools to do that.
One things seems very clear to me: education should not be left to private enterprise anymore than police or fire or military or in my opinion health because they're fundamental rights of people. And in a society that has the financial resources to provide individuals a safe and secure environment, which is really what government is all about, part of that is to educate young people. It's a right for every young person in a society, in a modern advanced industrial society, to receive an education. And that means not that we can't have the option of private education, but we have to ensure that students are provided opportunities to become the most productive adults they can be in a modern complex society.
That by the way doesn't mean treating science and other things as purely information, that's a mistake. We used to feel that schools were places that imparted information. Well, I can get more information in my cell phone now than I could in any school, but I could also get more misinformation. What we need to recognize is that science is not just a bunch of facts, but it's a process for deriving facts and it's a process to tell sense from nonsense.

Globalization and Its Discontents
.Reference the tax cuts that will hurt Medicare, Social Security, and Medicaid cuts next year. Yup! He is talking about Robert Reich and another commentator who wrote Globalization and It's Discontents Revisited
Social Security, Medicare, You Earned It
Medicare and Social Security are NOT ENTITLEMENTS. You earned those every day you worked since that Summer job at 14yrs. old. You EARNED them. They were deducted from your paycheck for the day you need them. Now the GOP wants to steal your money sitting in an account waiting.

Muslims, Christians, Hating, Cultural Divide, Fables, Deaths and Destruction Over Religion, Trump Agenda
DoronTuber
You sound like a loving caring person, who cares about the tens of thousands of innocent people dying all over the middle east from other loving, caring and humane Muslims. I guess you relate to that as a fable too. Wake up buddy, you need to know that facts and not continue with that ignorant approach.
Response: I do like loving and caring people, but not for those who use religion as a justification for treating others who do not believe in their way or difference badly. Taking what they own and disrespecting them. Muslims and Christians have been hating and killing each other since the Dark Ages and would like to take us that way again with religions as dictatorial influence into government. Trump would be doing this now for the EVILangelist. Yes, this is fable misleading us away from the human potential in anyone and learning to live together as one world with cultural exchange being a sense in leading the world into better times. Mine is an updated approach and futuristic knowledge and not such as yours is.

What Russia Could Have Been and the Neglect of the USA Following Through, Old Ways and New, Wars and Conflicts to Sell Weapons, Socialist Globalism Trend, Types of Globalization
I blame the Clinton Administration for the mistreatment of the Soviet Union, as we did with Germany after WW1 and war became of it and we now are heading down that road and why Putin is in power. We as a nation need to rebuild a dialogue with Russia and get back to free trade with Russia. We should be working with Russia and China in world market globalization.
It is odd that we as a nation, the USA are still in the Cold War mentality state we are in. Still thinking oil is worth fighting over, with the age of solar and wind power and renewable energies and verge of the world having electric transportation by the end of 2030.
The idea is the big military complex of the idea of selling weapons in causing conflict and wars and destruction of infrastructure. The world would be better off with free flow of information, free internet, all democratized, free trade, individual liberties from a police state.
This is similar to what is happening with the treatment of Russia. When Germany was mistreated after WW1, it led to the USA becoming isolationist and nationalist 1918-1928, in that it led to the Great Depression and then WW2 with a pissed off Germany. Are we repeating this in our history with the electing of Trump and the backing he has.
The communist, Russia, and China have always been against European nationalistic view, which is prevalent in Europe today in the forms of populism front in England and the US. This must be stomped out to prevent another Germany, in which, strangely the USA is leading the trend in this.
Their attempts to silence the media, control speeds on the internet information flow. etc
The Christian right wants to bring back the crusades and have Christian globalization. The Muslims, in either form, wants to reign in Shiite or Sunni Muslim globalization. Russia and China want a socialist agenda around the world and are exceeding more than the others. You see globalization comes in many forms.
But this is not what globalization is about. It is about freedom of the people, freedom of flow of information, democracy, individual rights without to much of Law Inc.

Trump, Saudi Arabia Proxy, North Korea, Long Term Destruction, Free World, War is Ancient, Military Complex and the Evanleglical Influence
The funny thing is that every policy adopted by Saudi Arabia helped Iran become more influential. As Thomas Friedman said about the Iranians "They know how to play Hockey, others don't". In my opinion, the best policy for Saudi Arabia to fight Iran is to do nothing. Sometimes doing nothing is the best way to handle a problem. Especially for political amateurs.

Hide replies
That's certainly true. It's already clear that there are a lot of cracks in Iran's "forward position". Now that the fighting has stopped, Iraq, and to a lesser extent Syria, are looking for ways to get out from under the Iranian thumb. A war with Saudi Arabia would be great for Iran.
8
The same with North Korea, the same with Saudi Arabia and Iran. You can not start a war in these reasons because, in the long run, it would not be worth it with nuclear weapons involved, loss of life, messing up the global supply chain plus oil is a dying industry. Saudi Arabia has the right idea of modernizing. War is wrong for the planet anymore, human progression is and diplomatic deals, not trying to sell weapons by creating conflict and war. It is the time the US lived in the world instead of picking sides and medaling in the process. The free market, free consumerism, getting involved more with the United Nations and letting countries choose their own path. Not to make the world totally all Muslim, all Christian. It is time for worldwide free information flow, individual rights, AI and algorithms to guides. Renewable energies getting us away from fighting over oil and other fossil fuels. Trump is taking us back to the Dark Ages and it is the funniest thing it is being led by the military complex and the EVILangelist posy
