QUANTUM MECHANICS, GOD AND THE NATURE OF THE HUMAN SOUL

THESIS: The proven laws of Nature and Physics strictly define that everything in the Universe is either Matter or Energy! They can be converted from one to the other according to Einstein's Law of Conservation of Matter and Energy as defined by E=MC2 and proven by nuclear fission and the Atomic Bomb and numerous other applications of Nuclear Energy. The Big Bang model for the origin of the Universe is dependent on this conversion of energy to matter and is rooted in the Genesis story of God's creation and in no way contradictory to modern Theistic Evolution or Intelligent Design! Now the difficult concept! Since the Human Soul must be energy and not tangible mass, then is follows that the soul is a Electromagnetic Quantum Field of Energy based on the fact that all energy is quantized and has a frequency and can be transmitted, tuned and received much like a light, radio or TV wave! We know that all brain activity is measured by certain frequencies, alpha, beta etc. and vary in wavelength/frequency and can be detected by EEG and MRI scans. That being true then it stands to reason that all our stored memories and persona and other aspects of our mentality that comprise our soul are energy. Since all forms of energy CANNOT BE DESTROYED but can only be converted from one form to another as verified by the Law of Conservation of Energy, I therefore propose that at biochemical brain death that energy is released as our Soul/Quantum Field of energy and can the can be transmitted to another human infant upon birth and can eventually join the pure energy field of God and attain a state of eternal bliss/consciousness or Nirvana as described by the Buddhists similar to the Christian Heaven. Now for the Karmic aspect. If a person builds a lot of positive Karma during their lifetime then the energy will be quantized and behave much like electrons in the Bohr Model of the unstable Hydrogen Atom as they jump from one energy level to the other during their climb to the outermost level and finally become an ionized proton, the hydrogen ion(H+)! Atomic particles are not immortal as they all have finite lifetimes with the proton having the longest life 1020 years! All electromagnetic energy is immortal as evidenced by light coming from distant Quasars which are older that the known universe. The light has traveled billions of light years and not changed at all or slowed down from light speed. Bohr, Planck, Heisenberg, and Schrödinger, the fathers of the Quantum Theory, studied the relationship of Quantum Mechanics to Reincarnation. and they believed there was a correlation.

Relating the Bohr Model to +/- Karmic energy. As the hydrogen atom absorbs or releases energy of a certain wavelength it's single electron jumps from one lower level to a higher one or vice versa depending on the amount of quantized energy, delta E or positive Karma. If the + energy is great enough, then the electron will jump to a higher level and then subsequent levels until it reaches it's ionization energy threshold and become a H+ ion(proton) and is released from it's earthly proton existence to live forever. This also conforms to the Buddhist concept of Nirvana equivalent to the Judeo /Christian Heaven.

This would indicate that the soul could act as an electromagnetic Quantum Field and could indeed become immortal if enough +Karmic energy is acquired after many lifetimes and then reach Nirvana. If not enough + Karma is gained in any one lifetime then the soul must be recycled back to a lower energy state and live a better more positive life before reaching immortality though a series of lives in human beings. Each lifetime builds more +Karma like the lowly electron does on it's journey to immortality! A more purely Christian interpretation might be that the Human soul simply leaves the human body upon biochemical brain death and either joins the immortal quantum field of God's energy to learn all of life's secrets if enough good Karma is built up, or if not, it is left in limbo and separated from God's light for eternity, the Judeo/Christian Hell. Google: Quantum Mechanics, Reincarnation, Karma you will find many references that support my thesis! http://www.krishnapath.org/quantum-physics-came-from-the-vedas-schrodinger-einstein-and-tesla-were-all-vedantists/ http://www.amazon.com/Physics-Soul-Quantum-Reincarnation-Immortality/dp/1571743324

The Law of Conservation of Mass and Energy, E=mc2, Applied to the Human Soul

The discussion on Christian vs Non Christian views of the afterlife is very interesting. I have something else to add. Everything in the Universe must either be matter or energy according to the Law of Conservation of Matter and Energy first described by Einstein in his famous equation E=mc2 where m=mass and c2 is light speed squared. It has been proven many ways from the Atomic Bomb to huge particle accelerators making particles from energy and vice versa. It is also follows and very intuitively that the Human soul must be energy of a certain mass equivalence and frequency since it is not tangible matter. Neurological researchers have actually measured it's frequency and mass equivalence upon biochemical brain death therefore it conforms to the Law of Conservation of Mass and Energy! It also follows that it must be conserved by intering a new human body at some point in development. The Hindu theologians did not understand this relationship when Reincarnation was first realized but it does actually conform to the Law! Most Non Christians believe their road to eternal life is some other path like reincarnation as in Hinduism which is actually more in line with scientific laws like the conservation of mass and energy and Quantum Mechanics? Some more science based churches like New Age/Unity believe we can adopt whatever path we choose to the afterlife and God but be sure and leave a worthwhile legacy for family and mankind! Deepak Chopra, the famous Indian philosopher and author, gave a lecture on Quantum Healing and Reincarnation at Unity Church and it made good scientific sense to me! I continue to form my personal religious philosophy, a life long pursuit, which must be rooted in Science and Theology and that is why I am an advocate of Intelligent Design/Theistic Evolution which is very compatible with most modern religions such as Christianity, Judaism and Islam. This is a very good analysis of Hinduism rooted in Quantum Mechanics.

Breast cancer prevention at Planned Parenthood - Another Acorn like Scam

It is my understanding that the cancer prevention aspect of PP is a scam and our tax money is going to be used for promotion of abortion, their primary business. It is contributing to the decline in our culture giving young women a false sense of security to be as sexually free and libidinous as they can be. As a school teacher I have witnessed that decline over the years and it is quite alarming. Their dress, behavior and language is a reflection of where we are heading - just watch a TV sitcom to see it . Jersey Shores is not far from the truth. It is very alarming! I was at North Park yesterday and learned new four letters and phrases hearing the girls talk loudly to each other. It seems like not only have the girls caught up with the boys with their expected obnoxious behavior but have far exceeded it. Sexual liberation that started in the 60s has accelerated to light speed in the new century and that is at the heart of the abortion and divorce problem fueled by Facebook and social media. Check out Ashley Madison.com to see what I mean!
PP looks similar to the Acorn scam where tax money is used to allow and promote prostitution, drug abuse, voter fraud and tax evasion to garner votes for the Democrats. They were busted several times on video caught in the act on a TV news report. They performed a staggering 300,000 abortions last year. How many potential Nobel Prize laureates, doctors, teachers, musicians, politicians and other influential people were flushed down the drain. It is inhumane, sacrilegious and needs to be stopped now!

The Tipping Point in Constitutional Democracies, 2011

The Equilibrium Point between Conservatism and Order and the Tendency toward European Secular Progressivism and Disorder/Entropy according to the Second Law of Thermodynamics.

In his ground breaking book, Entropy, A New World View, Jeremy Rifkin explains how disorder defined as Entropy according the Second Law of Thermodynamics is rapidly creating an unstable world. All ancient civilizations like Greece and Rome, due to economic, political and social disorder, can last only about 2,000 years before decaying into chaos. Our American Democracy is now past the tipping point since at the singing of the Declaration of Independence it was a pure Democracy.

Entropy, according to the second law of thermodynamics, is the measure of disorder in a system. The entropy of the universe as a whole tends to a maximum. All systems in the universe are subjects to the law: Our galaxy, the Earth and Ecosystem, all species, DNA, Man and is why we die when enough entropy is present in our cells and DNA that they can no longer function. It is the LAW and cannot be reversed only postponed in a state of near equilibrium between order and chaos. The entropy change of the Universe and all systems in it, including the Earth, are increasing overall with positive entropy but at the same time systems within systems can have islands of spontaneous negative entropy with an increase in order if there is enough work/energy put into the system. This process is the driving force in Organic Evolution of the species from simple molecules to more ordered highly complex organisms, deriving much of the energy required from sunlight and chemical energy.

Such was the creation of the United States out of a revolution when political and religious entropy was at a high point and remained in a near equilibrium between civil order and disorder for about 200 years. A dictatorial society, like Qaddafi's Libya, required minimum long term negative entropy to form, only short term brute force/military coup, but subsequently a huge input of energy/work to maintain. An anarchical society like the present day Libya, is the obvious result of maximum social entropy and civil disorder and will require high input of energy to maintain near equilibrium for many years due to the large number of tribes and political factions. (Ashley)

The rise of Isis after Obama destabilized the entire region by removing all American troops created total chaos and the Islamic terrorists have taken over and will continue to do so until the trend is reversed by more boots on the ground. In terms of Entropy the Middle East will continue to create chaos and disorder forever as long as Muslim Theology reins free and ignorance poverty is widespread.

Social entropy is a macro sociological systems theory. It is a measure of the natural decay within a social system. It can refer to the decomposition of social structure or of the disappearance of social distinctions. Much of the energy consumed by a social organization is spent to maintain its structure, counteracting social entropy, e.g., through legal institutions, education and even the promotion of television viewing. Anarchy is the maximum state of social entropy. Social Entropy implies the tendency of social networks and society in general to break down over time, moving from cooperation and advancement towards conflict and chaos.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Social_entropy

Social Entropy and Energy Inputs: Modern Western complex societies remain organized by large inputs of energy/work to mitigate the natural progression of increasing entropy (disorder), according to the Second Law of Thermodynamics, a fundamental law of physics. This effectively states that Entropy (disorder) increases with time. As the system becomes more complex, through access to energy, it becomes more susceptible to changes that may occur if one were to remove this source of energy. Take away the energy inputs (largely from fossil fuels) and organization corrodes, thus society becomes less cohesive and trends toward anarchy.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Social_entropy

Our present administration is attempting to do exactly that by undermining oil/gas production in favor of more expensive green alternate unproven energy sources. This creates much more conflict between big business, energy companies, oil/gas producing states and rabid environmentalists hell bent on dismantling fossil fuel production at the expense of millions of jobs and thus fueling the culture war.

In the context of nations, increasing social entropy means that no nation or empire's political and cultural DNA lasts indefinitely. On this point history is clear and unequivocal: Ancient Greece and Rome, Persian Empire, Turkish Empire, British Empire, the Mongol Empire of the 13th century which was the world’s largest contiguous empire. None lasted and all eventually disintegrated. The American Empire is next in line; the how is in progress, it’s just a matter of when and how soon. It has rapidly progressed toward the max lately.

During the first 200 years of American History we maintained a traditional lifestyle/culture and a balance/equilibrium between political order and chaos/entropy. That order quickly eroded due to cultural and political upheavals in the 1960's occurring largely as a result of resistance to the Vietnamese War and cultural changes in lifestyle, politics, music, art and formation of the counterculture equivalent to the second American Revolution in my opinion.

About the time our original thirteen states adopted their new constitution in 1787, Alexander Tyler, a Scottish history professor at The University of Edinburgh had this to say about the fall of the Athenian Republic some 2,000 years earlier: “A democracy is always temporary in nature; it simply cannot exist as a permanent form of government. A democracy will continue to exist up until the time that voters discover they can vote themselves generous gifts from the public treasury."

In my opinion the 60s was the period when the equilibrium was tilted and the Tipping Point was created.

From that moment on, the majority always vote for the candidates who promise the most benefits from the public treasury, with the result that every democracy will finally collapse due to loose fiscal policy, which is always followed by a dictatorship or very large controlling government regulating the lives of us all..

WE ARE NOW THAT POINT AS DEMONSTRATED BY THE HUGE BUREAUCRACY IN WASHINGTON CREATING THE NANNY STATE AND OVER BURDENING TAXPAYERS WITH ENTITLEMENTS!

The average age of the world's greatest civilizations from the beginning of history, has been about 200 years.

During those 200 years, those nations always progressed through the following sequence:

1. from bondage to spiritual faith; 1620-1776

2. from spiritual faith to great courage; 1776-Civil War

3. from courage to liberty; WWI-WWII

4. from liberty to abundance; 1940s-1950s

5. from abundance to complacency; 1960s-1970s

6. from complacency to apathy; 1980s-2000

7. from apathy to dependence; WE ARE HERE NOW - THE NANNY STATE

8. from dependence back into bondage” TOTAL GOVERNMENT CONTROL

a) The Arrow of Time Applied to all Systems in the Universe

ORDER ---------→ DISORDER/CHAOS

low entropy to high entropy

b) Political Systems in Near Equilibrium before the 1960s

CONSERVATISM ←-------→ PROGRESSIVISM (Revolution)

+ entropy

c) Equilibrium Imbalance after the 1960s, shift to Secular Progressivism

CONSERVATISM ← ------→ SECULAR PROGRESIVISM-P (Atheism, Socialism)

increasing entropy

d) Disequilibrium with Secular Progressivism entrenched with maximum entropy in the cultural and political system, much like modern Greece after 2,000 years due to massive entitlements/Socialism.

C -----------→ S-P (Atheism, Amorality, Nanny State)

+ maximum entropy

Where C = conservatism and S-P = Secular progressivism

According to Entropy Law, the arrow of time (a, above) always marches from order to disorder and consequently all civilizations and their cultures will crumble with time, the average stable lifetime being about 200 years before the elements of cultural decline begin to set in . For America it was the volatile 60's. Prior to that time there was a near equilibrium between the elements of civil order and disorder (b, above). Since the 60's, there has been a slow shift away from near equilibrium and stability to secular progressivism/socialism in certain regions, mostly the west and east coast.

More significant the shift was away from the mostly conservative traditional lifestyle we all enjoyed growing up in the 40's - 50's which did take quite a lot of energy to maintain, but since the vast majority of Americans were conservative traditionalists, both Democrat and Republican, there was little political conflict. Those upheavals of the 60's from the far left threw the near equilibrium state to a more disordered state (c, above) driven by the elements of progressivism never to return to near cultural equilibrium (b, above). No matter how much energy we traditionalists put in or even if progressivism fails miserably, the equilibrium will never shift to more order overall (d, above) because that would defy the Law of Entropy. Pockets of order may reestablish as new republics, as matter has with organic evolution and the evolution of species. Those new republics, however, will begin to decline the second the ink dries on their constitution! Modern Greece is the best example has having gone from the perfect Democracy to a state of complete anarchy by the people faced by losing their unrealistic sacred entitlements and vacation time. The rest of Europe, primarily the more wealthy capitalistic countries like Germany, are bailing them out. This cycle will repeat itself until all of Europe is socialistic and we may not be immune forever.

As someone said recently in a review of Bill O'Reilly's bestselling book, Culture Warrior:

"Think about it - Secular Progressivism reduces everything to matter, which is locked in the prison cell of thermodynamics and entropy." What he is saying I believe is that Secular Progressivism(S-P), what we Culture Warriors are continually fighting, reduces cultural institutions to a more random dynamic form like Helium gas in a balloon which follows the Entropy Law when released into the air never to return to a stable collection of atoms but scattered randomly all over in the Earth's atmosphere. The one world, no borders, utopian socialistic society is the dream of most S-Ps. Once Secular Progressivism rears its ugly head, the culture continually decays to cultural chaos/disorder never to return to its more stable earlier traditional nationalistic state, in our case dictated by the American Constitution. S-Ps generally believe the Constitution is outdated and should be completely rewritten, if not abolished, and what revisionist liberal judges continually strive to do and have been successful lately in landmark cases.

According to another blogger, Mencius Moldbug, on Blogspot in his Blog, Unqualified Reservations, he asserts that: "Progressivism is obviously entropic and it's enemy is order. Progressives instinctively despise formality, authority, and hierarchy."

Formality, authority, hierarchy and traditional values are all hallmarks of traditional American values and conservative thinking! I conceptualize a critical tipping point in a culture/nation as the equilibrium point between order and disorder. According to the second Law of Thermodynamics (Heat/Energy Laws), equilibrium can never be fully established because entropy/disorder is always increasing in a system and that is why we traditionalists must work harder to slow down cultural disorder in the form of Progressivism, anarchy, and Socialism. Anarchy groups have been increasing lately disguised as environmental Green Groups and now the Occupy Wall Street group among college students, an alarming trend much like the sixties, and we now have a progressive administration so we traditionalists must input more energy/work/money just to maintain a state of near equilibrium as possible which fluctuates with time. According to the Entropy Law, it doesn't take much change to push to increased disorder - the economic meltdown in 2008-2009 as a perfect example.

Political scientists have long used entropy considerations: http://www.eoht.info/page/Political+entropy

In 2001, American social scientist Carl Boggs used the term political entropy as a metaphor for what he describes as, “the deep sense of political malaise that gripped American society in the 1990s—a malaise deeply rooted in historical processes that have given rise to unprecedented levels of popular distrust, hostility, and alienation toward the political system, politicians, and indeed ‘politics’ in general”, signified by a less than 25 percent public confidence in the federal government during this period. He goes on to state: “measured by virtually any set of criteria, the political system is in a (potentially terminal) state of entropy, out of touch with the needs and aspirations of the vast majority of people; citizenship—its rights and obligations—has decayed beyond recognition.” See: Political Entropy and American Decline, Cerny, P.G., Millennium - Journal of International Studies.1989; 18: 47-63.

Many economists use entropy considerations in their analyses: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermoeconomics

One of the most rational voices on the right, Dr. Charles Krauthammer, sees American decline and the end of American ascendancy as the result of political choices we have made. These days it won't take much to push way past the political and economic tipping point to more chaos - another large terrorist attack, a deeper depression, another war, another filibuster proof Democratic majority in the senate or another economic meltdown. We were close to that point in 2009 but survived because huge amounts of money was required to restore balance consequently the order before the crash will never be restored due to considerable financial chaos and loss of jobs among the citizens which will never be restored. Many have dramatically changed their politics accordingly, mostly to the right, and this can breed revolution. The French Revolution is a good example how anarchy and disorder can change a political system overnight and then slowly drift into socialism. These days the Tea Party Movement hints of anarchy largely from the right because many of them advocate ditching the entire congress and administration and replacing them with "true conservatives" - a very unrealistic mission. 

The filibuster proof majority the Democrats enjoyed before the Massachusetts election of Scott Brown to replace Ted Kennedy was a dangerous point and was critical to eliminate in order to restore near equilibrium. Fortunately, many independents, Blue Dog and Southern Democrats realized this untenable situation and voted Republican and will hopefully again in November 2012 so we will have bought some more valuable time, at least four years, in the Congress and White House.

The American culture has been rapidly declining since the major tipping point in the 1960s when the youthful Cultural Revolution occurred. Secular Progressivism got a foothold in Universities and it spread quickly through the hippie movement where many modern activists/domestic terrorists like William Ayers, Obama's Chicago friend/advisor, and other secular progressives began their journey in the mostly secular progressive University system and are still teaching and proselytizing young minds there. Obama's mentor in college days, Frank Marshall, was an avowed Marxist and Obama's chosen professors and his Chicago preacher are all far left activists and Marxists and that is all we need to know why we have rapidly progressing past that tipping point since 2008. Vann Jones, another known Marxist activist from the sixties, was fired from Obama's cabinet after the truth was revealed. This has been a very alarming trend in Obama's administration and where many other far left activists are probably still entrenched.

We balanced that crucial tipping point with the election of Reagan for a few years but the S-P movement slowly crept along through the seventies and eighties in the universities and among the elite intellectuals largely on the East and West coast even though Reagan's Conservative Revolution and the Contract With America resulted in the downfall of Communism in the USSR. S-P trudged along in the nineties during the Clinton years and George Bush II couldn't slow it down in the new millennium much due to the distraction and cost of two wars and the anti war movement from the left. Liberal university professors are still proselytizing our students to follow in their footsteps with antiwar and anti-American traditional values propaganda and this became very evident in the last election when the younger vote came out in mass for the Democratic ticket due to massive social networking trends which older more conservative voters didn't follow. The counterculture is rearing it's ugly head again masked as the Occupy Wall Street movement in many cities. It is now apparent it is being organized by anarchists , Marxists, Acorn, unions and other leftist activist groups and now the Occupy Wall Street movement reminiscent of the sixties youth revolution, now trying to further their agenda and maintain the push to European Socialism and chaos. Many of the participants are disgruntled people out of work and they have a legitimate beef, but this is not working - only making business and property owners angry about destruction of property, disruption of business and is some cases violence and destruction of property. Reporters will no longer venture into the camps for fear of the overwhelming stench and possible disease. The police have every right to clean them out for public health and safety reasons. In Europe it has evolved into anarchy with typical destruction and violence and Greece is in total revolution, a far cry from the ideal democracy in the Golden Age after 2,000 years of political decline/disorder and establishment of the extreme nanny state overburdening taxpayers and businesses with unrealistic near Utopian entitlements and government control. Does that scenario sound familiar in the USA in the new millennium?

Another reason I believe we are at another critical tipping point now is evidenced on the secular/religious side by the S-Ps and atheists winning court cases involving controversial church/state issues with the help of the ACLU and on the political side the election of a progressive president and our current political culture war between left and right in congress and as evidenced by movements like the Tea Party Group, the Occupy Wall Street groups. if the S-Ps succeed and keep the current administration in power for four more years it may be too late and entropy/disorder will prevail and we will be beyond the tipping point forever. The result will be a European socialistic economy and culture sooner than we anticipated. There will be a point where conservatives and traditionalists will lose the culture war but they may well prevail assuming the Massachusetts bombshell election was a sign and the November 2012 elections will shift the system back to near equilibrium for at least four years. Beyond that we Conservatives must continue to try and reverse the inevitable entropic tendency toward cultural and political disorder .

As my friend and staunch conservative Robin Hood Brains says " We must at all costs slow the trend to Socialism for at least for a hundred years and I know we can do that when everyone realizes how serious it is. Children in public schools have been denied traditional American History and even celebration of Christmas due to Political Correctness policies in schools and we must reeducate children how important traditional values and American History is and how we must not repeat the mistakes of the past." We all must realize cultural/political disorder then subsequent progression to Socialism is inevitable according to the Second law, so each generation has the responsibility to fight to the death to maintain the equilibrium as much as is possible for the sake of that generation of children. There is no Marxist Utopia as the starry eyed idealistic college students believe and their S-P professors preach about, only a slow decline to a new updated version of modern Amsterdam/Holland in the next 25-50 years.

We ultimately must maintain the traditional American Dream for our children as long as we can and avoid our European Progressive Worst Nightmare. I can recall when Elvis Presley, Rock and Roll, the Bop dance and Marilyn Monroe's movies and escapades on the big screen were considered too shocking for children. I don't think most of us want our great grandchildren going to a future Northpark /Dallas mall with brothels, porn /sex shops, hash bars, and a medical pot shop! The traditional conservatives in old Holland didn't think it would ever happen there, but it did and Amsterdam is in dire straits!

The pinheaded "Wall Street protesters"

The misguided pinheaded anarchist "Wall Street protesters" are beginning to look like the 60's riots of stoned smelly disillusioned "hippies, socialists and Marxists". If you can get close enough to listen to their rhetoric and if you can stand the smell, It sounds like they are trying to convert us to European socialism. In Europe they are simply union thugs and leftist activists in the streets vandalizing anything they can as usual - their next goal must apparently be a form of communism - they are already socialistic and why some countries are broke and have a serious alien and Sharia Law problem.
I thought part of Obama's "Change" plan was to bring us all together in more class/racial unity but instead he is embracing these protesting pinheads and fueling the class warfare he initially condemned. As far as I am concerned the pinheads in the streets and Obama can "KEEP THE CHANGE".

Perry would start drilling again and rescue the oil /gas industry in Texas, create millions of jobs, bring more income to oil/gas royalty owners and control the border, all critical issues for many Texans. Texas is gaining many companies from New York and other high tax states, so the pinheads are destroying more local jobs by encouraging CEOs and their companies to move out of New York, how stupid is that?? They are going to CEOs homes and threatening the safety of their families. What will they think when their own family and friends lose their jobs when the companies move to Texas and they are partly responsible - idioitic!
Would you like some more oil royalty? You won't be getting any with Obama that's for sure!

Who other than socialists/Marxists/activists and ill informed idealistic college students are actually supporting the pinheads and their violence - trashing/defecating/urinating police cars and businesses - typical of anarchists - that will hurt Obama??

You wouldn't' see any of that at a Tea Party or Republican rally, much more civilized.

Science/Evolution/Creationism in Public Schools

We need to take a hard look at this trend toward teaching Creationism/Intelligent Design in a mainstream public school science/Biology class? I think it should not be taught there and should only be in private church schools if they choose. It violates church and state laws because every religion has it's own unique creation story/myth and we cannot impose religious beliefs/ideology in a public classroom on children of different faiths like some of the conservative State Board members are attempting to do. The university science faculties are fighting it tooth and nail to protect science literacy in Texas!.

http://www.dallasnews.com/news/state/headlines/20110717-texas-board-of-education-to-debate-evolution-again-as-science-materials-reviewed.ece

I agree there is a creator, the original scientist, I just don't think he created billions of enzymes, complex molecules and organisms at first but rather he simply started the process by designing a few simple molecules and put them into his grand experiment and let it play out and evolve over billions of years to keep himself entertained how it would play out - so simple, logical and so elegant, much more than creating it all at once which seems very unlikely/impossible and way too overwhelming even for the creator to do in a short time considering the vast variety of plants animals, bacteria and the first near life forms/macromolecules the nasty little viruses who are continually evolving as we speak. Granted he may have guided/tweaked the process occasionally like in a huge game of chance in order to create his masterpiece, Man. Could be his masterpiece is a simple insect like a tropical butterfly or perhaps a Siberain Tiger, two much more beautiful elegant animals. He may tweaked us as part of the experiment just to see how long it would take us before we destroy our planet and then start the process all over again, which actually happened when the dinosaurs were wiped out and 90% of all species 70 million years ago when a huge meteorite slammed into the Yucatan and created a nuclear type midnight for years.
This is why some of we mainstream religious scientifically literate people call ourselves theistic evolutionists. ALL mainstream faculties at major universities like TAMU, Yale, Harvard, MIT, Stanford, Cambridge, UT support some model of evolution, so why is it so difficult for intelligent people to to accept? Go ask any geologist and paleontologist at A&M, UT or Rice and see what they say. You don't have to do that because you know what they will say!

Since we as educators are involved in the Science/Evolution vs Creationism ongoing debate, a new book summary of the problem, Scientists Confront Creationism- Intelligent Design and Beyond, is a must read so you can see the latest scientific arguments.
This will become a very important issue in the next election, especially if the Tea Party gains control of the Republican Party and nominates a fundamentalist like Sara Palin or Michelle Bachmann. If that happens I will become an independent or Libertarian and vote for the Libertarian candidate or not vote at all. I believe most of the voting GOP is more intelligent/well educated and will nominate Romney who is more moderate and can beat Obama, which Palin, Bachmann and other far right Christian fundamentalist Tea Party candidates cannot do because of so many well educated independents and Republicans. All the mainstream press has do is interview them and ask a few mainstream science or socially charged questions and that will be the end of them like it did for Sara Palin last time concerning the idiotic "dinosaurs walked with men 4,000 years ago" statement!
The future of legitimate science Education in American public schools could be at stake and we as science educators must take up the banner and encourage everyone to make an informed decision rather than an emotional one exclusively based on religious convictions. The entire mainstream scientific community agrees that life on Planet Earth is a slow process over billions of years not thousands. All one has to do is imagine Dinosaurs and Man living together 4,000 years ago as Sara Palin believes, and it all become self evident. The Noah's Ark story is another obvious contradiction in reality if taken literally. If the private church related schools teach this they have that right to do so, but they will be doing their students a disservice when they apply to colleges and to graduate/Medical School because they will be at a large disadvantage by not being completely scientifically literate.

The Creation Museum Hoax : Sarah Palin and Dinosaurs on a Sunday Afternoon Stroll down the Paluxy River

Fox News is advertising the new Creation Museum in LA that teaches that Men and Dinosaurs walked together on the Earth around 4,000 years ago and the Earth is no more than 6,000 years old according to Bishop Ussher's proclamation based on prophesy during the 16th Century during the Scientific Renaissance (his date for Creation was 4004 B.C.). I can see this museum being a big hit in hedonistic modern LA, perhaps as tourist trap for religious believers at the La Brea Tar Pits where many fossil remains exist much older than 4,000 years, more like tens of thousands!

This museum perpetuates unscientific myth detrimental to science education in this country and believed by fundamentalists like Sarah Palin, Mike Huckabee and other Tea Party presidential candidates. If they win, science education in this country could be taken back to the Dark Ages for many in private church and some public schools, assuming there are certified science teachers that would teach "Creation Science" as legitimate real science. If the Republican Party nominates a fundamentalist Creationist candidate, they will lose the next election after the first interview when they admit they believe that men and dinosaurs walked together like Sarah Palin has already admitted and consequently has made her the laughing stock of well educated people, the mainstream media and the left.

If they win the republican nomination, I will declare myself to be an independent and vote for the most intelligent pro real science candidate that will maintain legitimate science education and keep the 200 real Natural History museums funded and not the religion based Creation Museum - that would violate separation of Church and State. My prediction is that the hokey Creation Museum will close it's Dinosaur /Man exhibit as did the original Morris Creationist Museum in Glen Rose, Texas after they were exposed as fake human tracks in real dinosaur tracks from the famous Paluxy River formation! I have seen the real tracks and there were no human tracks anywhere to be seen.

I'm sorry Sarah, you might find some 4,000 year old Grizzly tracks with men in Alaskan river beds, but no Tyrannosarus Rex - he was long gone!

EXITOTOXINS, The Taste That Kills

Those of us who are already dealing with neurological issues need to take extra care in avoiding these toxins( SEE LINK BELOW) but everybody should avoid them. The EPA is finally doing some meaningful research. Notice the first one the list is Apartame/Nutrasweet, MSG and other free forms of glutamate are exitotoxins that can permanently damage neurons by overstimulating them. There is very good evidence now that they can cause Atrial Fibrillation, severe headaches, Alzheimer's, ALS, Parkinson's, Dementia and possibly Autism in children.

I have been preaching about the evils of MSG/Aspartame for years since it can cause my atrial fibrillation and especially together as I found out at a Chinese Buffet in Tyler and a trip to the ER. Diet drinks with traditional Chinese food is a deadly combination!!! Some restaurants in Dallas advertise food without MSG but I still don't trust them because the FDA allows them to hide it under many names like hydrolyzed yeast/vegetable protein/soy same as soy/teriyaki sauce which can be 10%-15% MSG. You cannot cook Chinese without some form of soy sauce. Have you seen the Campbell's Soup ad about Chicken Broth with no MSG? - the chicken is running away, does that tell you something? Campbell's Soup Co. puts more MSG In their products than all the Chinese put together and now they advertise no MSG in some soups, but read the label carefully, it is hidden and the FDA lets them do it. Buy Whole Foods organic 365 soups and they taste better and non toxic!
Use Stevia as a sugar substitute and lay off diet drinks!! They actually make you gain weight and cause brain damage!! Bourbon in Diet Coke - a deadly combination!

MY CLOSE ENCOUNTER OF THE 79th KIND WITH CLEOPATRA

Cleopatra,

79th Grandmother

of Indignant Chemist

(note: All large/small numbers are written in the exponential format

2,000 = 2 x 103 or 2xE3)

I have often wondered why I have an uncanny, often obsessive, attraction to all things ancient Egyptian, from my King Tut puzzle that I got at a souvenir shop stop on Pike's Peak to my excessive Christmas tree full of rare Polish hand blown glass Egyptian ornaments. I even have two of each one of these ornaments just in case one gets broken. My friends see my tree at Christmas and I can sense that they are probably asking themselves "why is he so obsessed with his Egyptian ornaments and not Santa, Rudolph, Sexy Angel, Lady Gaga , Hooters girls or Frosty?
Sexy Angel or rare Polonaise Egyptian ornaments, that is the question???

http://alrioart.com/zazzle/ornaments.php

The answer could be as bizarre as my obsession. While traveling back in time 2,000 years on my family tree via Ancestry.com, I suddenly came upon Cleopatra III, then II, and finally Cleopatra I, who was my 77th great grandmother (204 AD-176 AD). The pieces of the puzzle seemed somewhat complete! There is a theory, among parapsychologists that supports a model for genetic memory which is a transfer of biochemical storage of memory (like a computer chip) directly through one's DNA from generation to generation. Could this be happening to me after 2,000 years - a mere blink in time?

The question arises - just how much genetic material do I have now that was in Cleopatra's original DNA strands? My best estimate is 3.8 million molecules and therefore around 53 million original atoms based on the fact that the human genome (chromosomes) contains slightly more than 3 billion base pairs of molecules of (cytosine-guanine) and (uracil-thymine) in nearly infinite sequences which determines our unique genetic identity and carries our genetic code for all our characteristics and traits, both good and bad!

A helical DNA strand made up of the 4 base pairs and the Phosphate - deoxyribose sugar backbone. The base pairs, rungs in the ladder, are held in place by weak hydrogen bonds that unzip during replication/cell division (mitosis).

Meiosis is a process of reductional division in which the number of chromosomes per cell is cut in half to form reproductive cells. In animals, meiosis always results in the formation of sperm and eggs. As with mitosis, before meiosis begins, the DNA in the original cell is replicated . Two cell divisions separate the replicated chromosomes into four haploid gametes, either sperm or eggs.
During meiosis in ovaries/testicles, the genome of a diploid germ cell, which is composed of long segments of DNA packaged into chromosomes, undergoes DNA replication followed by two rounds of division, resulting in four haploid gamete cells. Each of these cells contains one complete set of chromosomes, or half of the genetic content of the original cell. If meiosis produces gametes, these cells must fuse during fertilization to create a new diploid cell, or zygote before any new growth can occur. Thus, the division mechanism of meiosis is a reciprocal process to the joining of two genomes that occurs at fertilization. Because the chromosomes of each parent undergo recombination during meiosis, each gamete, and thus each zygote, will have a unique genetic blueprint encoded in its DNA. Together, meiosis and fertilization constitute sexual reproduction in animals, and generate genetically distinct individuals in populations.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Human_genomeorg/wiki/Human_genome

The human genome is the genome of Homo Sapiens, which is stored on 23 chromosome pairs. Twenty-two of these are autosomal chromosome pairs, while the remaining pair is sex-determining X and Y. The diploid (body cell) human genome contains a total of just over 3 billion DNA base pairs, but after meiosis, the haploid genome in gametes contains only 1.5 billion base pairs. The Human Genome Project (HGP) produced a reference sequence of the euchromatic human genome, which is used worldwide in biomedical sciences.
The 23 chromosomal pairs containing the human genome, our genetic footprint for all our traits. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Human_Genome_Project

The 23 chromosomal pairs containing the human genome, our genetic footprint for all our traits and characteristics.
Starting with 1.5 billion base pairs per gamete (sperm/egg), the haploid genome, (1/2 of the original chromosomal pair), then recombines during fertilization with the haploid genome from the other parent to restore the diploid 23 pairs of chromosomes .

Passage of Cleopatra's original base pairs through 79 meioses and recombinations adds a certain amount of error and disorder (entropy) creating genetic defects. The approximate numbers of her actual genes transferred through 79 recombinations is impossible to determine, but an approximate calculation was done. Assuming that one-half of the base pairs are transferred during fertilization and recombined with a new set of base pairs from the other parent, it is only possible to reach an approximate answer.

The total number of strands/macromolecules of DNA in the human body, 10E13 , or ten trillion contain very few molecules of the original DNA in each nucleus of every cell in our bodies from of all our ancestors, more in recent ones The number varies with body size and would be a relatively small number , but in atomic terms it can be large.
By the way, ten trillion is one trillion less than dollars of our national debt...a scary situation!

Therefore: After 79 meioses and recombinations
(1.5E9 base pairs in Cleopatras egg/ 79 meioses&recombinations) x 2 molecules/pair =
3.8E6 base molecules

Therefore the number of atoms retained from Cleopatra would roughly be:
3.8E6 base molecules x (14 atoms (average*)/base molecule) =
53 million C, N, O, H atoms

*The average number, 14 atoms/molecule is based on the molecular formulas of the four bases
C4H5N3O ( 13 in cytosine), C5H6N2O2 (15 in thymine), C4H4N2O2 (12 in uracil) and C5H5N5O ( 16 in guanine)

53.2 million atoms is not a huge number of atoms. By comparison, 7.5 trillion carbon atoms will fit on a single period (.) with a diameter of 0.5 mm, on the paper I am printing this on.
See the link for an interesting calculation:

http://www.newton.dep.anl.gov/askasci/mats05/mats05057.htm

and this is hard to believe! 7.5 trillion of them in one layer on a period (0.5mm wide) on this paper??

Detailed images of carbon atoms showing the s and p electron clouds predicted by Quantum Mechanics over 60 years ago. All my ex Chemistry students used to ask me - How do you know they actually exist and look like that? Now I can say - an actual digital image is worth a thousand words!

http://www.insidescience.org/research/first_detailed_photos_of_atoms

Keep in mind how small the carbon atoms are @ 0.17 nanometer diameter
where 1 nanometer = 10-9 meter or 1 billionth of a meter. Therefore:
(0.17 nanometer/atom) x (1meter/1E9 nanometer) x (1 meter/1E3 mm)
= 1.7 E-7 mm = 1.7 ten millionths of a mm

or 170 billionths of a millimeter
and they are only 1 atom thick on a period - and this is hard to believe -
7.5 trillion of them in one layer on a period of the paper??
Amazing but true!!

For the sake of simplicity let's assume all the 53 million ( 2 sig figs)
or so atoms from Cleopatra are carbon, what would they weigh?
(the atomic masses of carbon @12 amu, O @ 16 amu, N@ 14 amu and H@ amu have an average mass close to C @12 atomic mass units = actually 11 amu to 2 significant figures, but the error is trivial.)
Assuming they are all carbon atoms, a pure tiny invisible dot of carbon atoms would weigh
53 x 10E6 atoms C x (12 g C (atomic mass per mole)/ 6.02 x 10E23 atoms per mole) =1.1 x 10E-15 grams C = 1.1 femtograms C atoms

note: a mole is the chemist's dozen, Avogadro's number, or 6.02E23 particles per mole, the number of atoms/particles contained in the atomic mass of an element or compound.

A femtogram, 1E-15 gram, is one of the smallest unit of mass in the metric system but that may change. The smallest when I was in High School was the microgram, 1E-6 gram. There is a realm of research now at the picogram level, picotechnology, so the next is femtotechnology!

1.1 femtograms of carbon visualized as a tiny black Egyptian Onyx spherical crystal . It would be invisible because the limit of naked eye visibility of atoms is about 10E12 , a trillion atoms or 1\7 th of the carbon atoms in a 12 point font period (.)

Now, the final question is:

Was there enough atoms to transfer genetic memory from Cleopatra to me? Engineers are now making nano and picogram designed sized working computer chips with bytes of memory and even atomic chips with bytes of memory - so, yes, I believe it may be possible!
They are even working on neuron, molecular and yes, even atomic memory size memory systems, so it is entirely feasible memory could be retained in a molecule or macromolecule!

http://www.scientificamerican.com/article.cfm?id=the-first-nanochipss

Since there are roughly 53 million atoms and electrons in my body that were once part of Cleopatra's genome, then I can assume that some bytes of information have been passed as genetic memory in the molecules, atoms and electrons in those atoms. They could have been stored and transferred as electronic patterns that make up my memory in special neurons in my the brain much like the ones and zeros make the digital patterns that are stored and transferred as digital data/memory on chips.

THE ENTROPY FACTOR: The 3 billion base pairs of the haploid human genome correspond to about 750 megabytes of data, since every base pair can be coded by 2 bits. The entropy rate (acquired disorder) of the genome differs significantly between coding and non-coding sequences. It is close to the maximum of 2 bits per base pair for the coding sequences (about 45 million base pairs), but less for the non-coding parts. It ranges between 1.5 and 1.9 bits per base pair for the individual chromosome, except for the Y chromosome, which has an entropy rate below 0.9 bits per base pair. The entropy rate is low in each base pair, so much of the original memory trace could stay intact, assuming it would act like a computer memory chip and retain the electrical patterns of memory traces. Quantum entropy errors occur in computer chips occur when electrons are ejected spontaneously and create unexplained glitches in data, but occurs routinely in all matter and causes mutations in DNA over millions of years - after only 2,000 years, it should not be a factor in disruption of any memory traces.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Human_genome

Every time I take a breath of air or a drink of water or eat anything, I take in a few water molecules of everyone who has lived from Einstein to Jesus to Cleopatra, so a few have been added and subtracted in as we breathe, eat and excrete water and waste every day. But, according to statistical laws, we retain a few atoms throughout our life incorporated into our cells/protoplasm. The numbers must be vanishingly small, but still they must exist!
I do have a fascination for life among the pyramids and a certain fascination with the life and times of Cleopatra and her romance with Mark Antony. ( My wife, Myra, thinks I've been watching too many episodes of the Tudors and Rome) I was totally absorbed in the series on HBO, Rome, a few years ago and some things seemed very familiar to me in the story. Also, the very first time I went to Rome and other European cities I could walk down certain old streets and know I had been there before and never get lost for hours and always find my way back - different from Deja Vu - I attribute it to genetic memory!

I have no attraction to the character of Mark Antony, but was rather strangely attracted to Cleopatra in the episodes of Rome and Liz Taylor's character in the movie Cleopatra, but then all the 21 year-old young men had a special fantasy about Liz Taylor in 1963, mine was probably a little more real than most (now I think I understand why)! I suppose it's acceptable to have a fantasy about your 78th Grandmother that far removed since it doesn't involve a cast of many (a Roman orgy) including Mark Antony!
My final question would be :

Who was the Daddy???

Mark Antony,the Pharoah or the pool boy? Back then, royals were never sure because their entertainment was their courtesans/lovers, no TV and no DNA testing!

Hopefully, she wasn't as bad as historians have depicted her!

CLEOPATRA, the movie, 1963

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cleopatra_(1963_film)

And finally, I'm sure my Mom and Dad, and my girlfriend ,1963, were quite happy my fantasy was about Cleopatra (Elizabeth Taylor) and not Mark Anthony (Richard Burton)!

Myra, my wife, certainly is!

Thanks, Myra for typing this essay/thesis as well as typing my graduate school thesis and dissertation .
I dedicate this to you Myra, my Egyptian princess in this lifetime!
(Myra is a very old middle eastern name originating from Myra, an ancient town in Turkey where the original Saint Nickolas was from)

IS ADULTERY A NATURAL HUMAN CONDITION?

The question is: Does a new book, Sex at Dawn: The Prehistoric Origins of Modern Sexuality, written by an anthropologist, Christopher Ryan , and other evidence by valid researchers get Clinton and many others completely off the hook? After all the Europeans don't even bat an eye when their politicians/royalty consort with their courtesans and mistresses and the French validate it - De Gaulle's mistress marched along his wife in his funeral procession.

It was Bill Clinton who first got Christopher Ryan thinking about monogamy. As a doctoral student in psychology in the late 1990s, he kept wondering: "How is it that the most powerful man in the world is getting publicly humiliated for having a casual sexual relationship with someone?" And it wasn't just Clinton, of course. Again and again, leaders were putting themselves in a position where "they could lose everything" for the sake of an affair. Ryan devoted his dissertation to an examination of the roots of human sexual behavior and suggests, in a new book co-written with his wife, psychiatrist Cacilda Jetha, that we re-evaluate the idea that monogamy comes naturally to men and women – and look at whether it should even be something we require of our spouses. In Sex at Dawn, to be published this summer by HarperCollins, Ryan and Jetha point to anthropological and biological evidence that humans are designed to seek variety in sexual experiences. The myth, says Ryan, who writes a blog at PsychologyToday.com, is that "you should be completely happy, completely fulfilled with one partner for 50 years. But that's not the design of the human organism. "In fact," he says from their home in Spain, "the human organism is designed for the exact opposite of that."

"Adultery has been documented in every human culture studied," Ryan and Jetha write in the book. If monogamy is such a natural state, the authors ask, why are so many people driven to cheat? Ryan and Jetha trace many modern ideas about matrimony and monogamy back to Darwin and a Victorian understanding of sexuality. To support their theory that the story is much more complex, they examine early human cultures and those of remote tribes that don't place a high value on monogamy. Some people believed babies could receive genetic material from multiple fathers, so women were encouraged to have sex with men who could pass on different positive characteristics. Ryan's hope is that the book will prompt readers to question their beliefs about monogamy, though he knows many will be incredulous at the suggestion that adultery comes naturally. The authors are actually in favor of matrimony – especially, Ryan says, when "it provides an emotionally and economically stable environment for a kid to grow up in." The problem, as he sees it, comes when an expectation of absolute fidelity is placed on marriage. "There's a lot of suffering – and what I would say is unnecessary suffering – between couples who have unnecessary expectations of what life is going to be like," he says.

I personally believe that Americans may be a bit behind other cultures in their white knight views about marriage and that it probably is an unnatural state that is difficult to maintain for 30 - 40+ years. It is actually programmed into a man's DNA to spread his DNA to as many as possible to preserve the gene pool and the alpha dominant men are really driven to do so. That is a proven fact and we are the only primates that don't generally live that way - not counting certain cultures. Monogamy within a culture can actually result in more birth/genetic defects over the centuries. Looks like even big Al Gore has found a new love interest - who would have thought he would ever leave Tipper?? Maybe she just got painfully bored with his Inconvenient truth BS! I wonder if his new love is ecologically green enough and has a small enough carbon footprint for him??

The Dumbing Down in Public Schools and Political Correctness Gone Mad!An Alarming Trend in Public Schools

There is an alarming trend in public schools, probably due to NEA liberal policies much like distribution of income/socialism that Obama and his progressives in his administration advocate.
Some schools are giving the title of valedictorian to all "A" students or the top 10 even if some have been taking all honors and Advanced Placement (college level courses). This is just part of the national liberal move toward mediocrity and removing competition among students to avoid self esteem, political correct and equality issues with students. Do you think that the Germans, Japanese, and Chinese will follow this trend - I don't think so.

We have been slowly dropping behind in science and math for years and this will accelerate that trend. I coached the state champion UIL science team at Highland Park High school for 20 years and believe me the drive to be #1 in the class is a strong factor in competition and excellence at the highest levels. This is another reason why I believe the public schools are doomed to mediocrity and ultimate failure and the private and charter schools will be the future of education. If you take away a major reward for success, you will take away the drive to excel in the very best, brightest, college bound students.

My home town ,Tyler Texas , used to be a model school district which many other school districts modeled but has slowly eroded due to liberal policies. A teacher was actually killed on campus by an psychologically unstable student who should have been in an alternate (like jail) school setting due to previous criminal activity even after warnings were given to administration and counselors - unbelievable, but sadly true! The civil rights of a dangerous student was more important than than faculty safety - God forbid we wouldn't want to damage a student's self esteem!
By the way, many conservative educators and politicians like Newt Gingrich advocate abolishing the Department of Education and the NEA as it exists today because of the destructive effects of rampant liberalism in American school administrations and the "dumbing down" effects on students.
According to a conservative high school classmate of mine from Tyler who is a Constitutional scholar, says the Department of Education is unconstitutional and should be abolished!

The reason why Highland Park will survive is because it refuses all federal funds and doesn't pay any attention to the NEA. It is a "private" public school and has its own funding from a private foundation to supplement what the socialistic "Robin Hood" tax redistribution plan takes away every year.

http://nymag.com/daily/intel/2010/06/more_high_schools_are_honoring.


Another indication that liberal policies in public schools, like teaching less American exceptionalism and history, is dumbing down students was evident in a Fourth of July survey today of young Americans in which 26% didn't know we gained our independence from Great Britain. Some actually answered China????
This is much like what you see on Jay Leno's show when he asks people on the street very easy questions that all Americans should know, like what happened on the Fourth of July and who George Washington was yet they know who Fifty Cent, the rapper and Lady Gaga are! Unbelievable but true!
True progressive socialists don't believe America is exceptional and we should open our borders and establish a world government and economy like Europe has done and balance the wealth among nations - a scary possibility with Obama in charge! Consequently they don't want our children to know much about our great American History and Heritage!! We must reverse this trend somehow or our children will suffer in a European socialistic society.

Sex Addiction Rehab - A Myth for Celeb Atonement

I have been thinking that this sex addiction trend among celebs to get off the hook when they get busted in their serial polygamous lifestyle is an urban myth. First of all, I am not defending Tiger's actions but only arguing that the label "Sex Addict" has been commercialized and ligitimized by entrepreneurs. It is promoted by expensive therapists, the National Inquirer and other magazines, Dr. Phil, Oprah and other talk show hosts. The AMA doesn't classify it as a legitimate disorder. Just because Dr Phil and Oprah showcase people on his show with the "addiction" and the National Inquirer has headlines to that effect doesn't mean it is valid. Many of his peers don't accept Dr. Phil as a therapist because of his Jerry Springer style approach. There is an ongoing debate and many psychologists debunk the myth and label. I personally think it is an excuse for serial cheating among celebs so they can "come clean" and save their marriage or millions when in divorce court .
Does anyone actually believe that bad boy Jesse James will suddenly give up his harem of stripper/hookers after spending a month with one
of Dr. Phil's buddies at some $50,000/month rehab ranch in Sedona with other celeb addicts.
I told Myra, my wife, when Sandra married Jesse James, whose uncle is a great great grandson of the outlaw of the same name, that it was a mistake but many women including Sandra Bullock, apparently still believe the White Knight myth. Not if they are an obvious Black Knight and ride in on a Harley horse with tattoos from top to bottom and divorced from a porn star - just to mention a few red flags; Sandra must be color blind. What is it with those nicer Hollywood leading ladies who always marry bad boys and when they win the Oscar the boys come out of their dark closets? Maybe the ladies need some real therapy before marrying them and have iron clad prenups.
Tiger's complete disregard for everyone is disturbing - his testosterone level and his alpha maleness must be at a max. Testosterone is a very strong drug but can be controlled. In women it can actually have a similar effect in later life when estrogen levels subside and testosterone increases proportionately or given as a supplement. It may be a factor in the "cougar" tendency/trend past 50 or so.
Does anybody believe that Tiger Woods is digressing back to a Cub and stay at home with mamma Tiger 24/7 and not stalk some new partners at an after party after a tough day on the course?
Now for the Biochemical aspect! The man with many partners is simply having a problem with commitment, but to say he's addicted to sex seems like saying we're addicted to water if we stay thirsty due to our physiology and like to drink from several sources as we should for native trace minerals. A man who feels a need for frequent sex isn't an addict; he probably has a strong libido due to a high level of testosterone . The innate desire to spread our DNA as far as possible is hard wired into our behavior. I suppose we could say: Tiger Woods is addicted to his own testosterone, but that would seem absurd; therein lies the paradox!
Are the Bonobo monkeys addicted to sex because they have group sex 24/7 ? - absolutely not, their behavior is considered normal for them and their main social pastime much like the French!
So does a naturally high level of testosterone always lead to apparent addictive or is it compulsive behavior? Can it lead to rape, child molestation and other sex crimes? Apparently it can become obcessive compulsive although some chemicals are released after sex similar to Oxycodone that could support the addiction model. In the old days castration was a punishment for serial rapists and that is a cure. Our prison populations are disproportionately represented by those with high testosterone and the criminal gene, so apparently it is a factor in sexual criminal behavior, but sex addiction, I believe, is the wrong way to characterize sexual behavior with high or normal testosterone. If women are overly promiscuous should they be characterized as addicts or simply victims of compulsive behavior based on similar physiological and emotional needs while considering the "place for men versus reason for women" argument which does support the testosterone model because eunuchs behave much more like women in that respect?
If a married young couple has typical married sex every day for a year, like some couple did on a bet on a reality show, are they considered addicted? - No, because they are married. If that same guy were single and had a variety of sex with different women for 365 days then he is labeled an serious addict. That is the paradox! After sex everyday for a year with the same partner that couple is probably ready for real sexual rehab, back and prostate surgery, real closed door therapy with Dr. Phil and a lifetime Rx for MegaViagra!

The Green Movement Undermines Traditional Texas Oil/Gas and Cattle/Beef Industry Jobs

The Green movement is largely from the left and undermines millions of traditional jobs in this country including many jobs in the oil and petrochemical industry in Texas which pays for our excellent teacher's retirement benefits and excellent colleges and universities. Obama and his Chicago mob politicians don't like Texas or Texas oil people like T. Boone Pickens because they are mostly conservative, have realistic solutions to the energy problem and our state will remain solvent because of "big oil/gas" which makes blue states look weak due to liberal policies. Obama and his "Chicago mobsters" would like to weaken our political and economic power here and shift it to the north/northeast. Those are the facts and they will affect all Texans if the "Greenies" win the battle - they have taken Spain to near bankruptcy and millions of traditional jobs lost. The Obama Administration is trying to weaken Big Oil, especially Texas Oil, which has a very strong alliance with Republicans like T. Boone Pickens.
T. Boone Pickens backed off his green wind projects in West Texas and went back to Texas natural gas because he finally realized the negative impact on Texas jobs.

From the Dallas Morning News:

Paring of oil perks would affect TexasTransition to favoring green energy could cut production, some warn.
By DAVE MICHAELS, Washington Bureau , Dallas Morning News

President Barack Obama's budget seeks to repeal valuable tax incentives and research fundingfor domestic oil and gas production,a change that wouldaffect thousands of small andlarge producers and some universitiesin Texas.The measures illustrate theWhite House's embrace of renewableenergy at the expenseof fossil fuel producers, whostill wield out with powerfullawmakers. The producerscomplain that the administrationis seeking to slow developmentwith new environmentalregulations and increasedscrutiny of oil and gas leases onfederal lands.Overall, the Obama administration'sbudget would cutfunding for fossil energy programs,which includes theStrategic Petroleum Reserve,by 20 percent in 2011. Separately,the repeal of eight taxincentives for oil and gas producerswould raise $36.5 billionfor the Treasury over 10years.A similar proposal failed togain support on Capitol Hilllast year. But industry officialsthe dominant federal researchThe proposed U.S. budget would cut fundedenergy programs by 20 percent in 2010.worry that lawmakers mayfind the proposal more appealingthis time as they look fornew revenue to help reduce recordfederal deficits.The tax breaks allow producersto deduct, for instance,most expenses associated withdrilling a well. The IndependentPetroleum Association ofAmerica says repeal of thatmeasure would cause oil andgas companies to scale backtheir drilling budgets by 20 to40 percent.The largest change, whichwould raise $17 billion over adecade, would come if Congressrepealed the ability of oiland gas firms to deduct someof their net income from domesticproduction activities."The entire tax debate thatwe'll see in this Congress issomewhat-hard to predictright now, and we certainly willbe very concerned about howthese proposals might be capturedin that debate," said LeeFuller, vice president of governmentaffairs for the petroleumassociation.The administration also isseeking to eliminate a $500million oil and gas researchprogram headquartered inSugar Land, Texas. SomeDemocrats have tried for yearsto abolish the program, arguingthat it amounts to a giveawayfor oil companies. Becausethe program gets itsmoney from federal royaltiesfor oil and gas production onpublic lands, it isn't subject toannual appropriations — andis therefore difficult to kill.The program has becomethe dominant Federal research fundingfor oil and gas development as fundingfor otherefforts has been slashed throughthe annual appropriationsprocess, Fuller said. Since,2007, the program has fundedresearch at the University, of,,Texas, Texas A&M University,and Rice University.

THE CAMBRIDGE GREENIES ARE 'TAKING THE GAS' OUT OF THE BEEF INDUSTRY

The methane gas emitted by cattle, which supposedly contributes to climate change, is only an excuse to push the "Green" campaign in Cambridge , Mass. to convert everyone to vegan according to their animal rights agenda! They shovel out enough political manure to cover the earth a foot deep - been smokin' a little too much dope at Harvard? They have been threatening a skater at the Olympics for wearing a small piece of fur on his costume. What a bunch of pinheads!

Harvard Hometown Plans Coercive Taxes, Veganism to Stop Climate 'Emergency'.

Congestion pricing to reduce car travel. Elimination of curbside parking. A carbon tax "of some kind," not to mention taxes on plastic and paper bags. Advocating vegetarianism and veganism, complete with "Meatless or Vegan Mondays." Those are just some of the proposals put forth by the Cambridge Climate Congress, an entity created in May 2009 to respond to the "climate emergency" plaguing the Massachusetts city.Going green will not be optional in Cambridge, Mass., if the Cambridge Climate Congress has its way. It will be mandatory.There will be congestion pricing to reduce car travel. Curbside parking will be eliminated. There will be a carbon tax "of some kind," not to mention taxes on plastic and paper bags. And the Massachusetts city, home of Harvard University and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, will advocate vegetarianism and veganism, complete with "Meatless or Vegan Mondays."Those are just some of the proposals put forth by the Congress, which was created in May 2009 to respond to the "climate emergency" plaguing Cambridge. Once the Congress settles on its recommendations, they will submitted to the City Council."This emergency is created by the growth of local greenhouse gas emissions despite the urgent warnings of climate scientists that substantial reductions are needed in order to reduce the risk of disastrous changes to our climate," the Climate Congress reported in proposals issued on Jan. 23. "This proposal is made in the belief that an effective local response is, if anything, made more urgent by so far inadequate global agreements and federal policies for emissions reductions. It is made in the belief that our City should lead by example."

The loonies on the far left wonder why we don't want the government to control our diets, our cars, our houses, our entertainment (cable news), our entire lives - didn't work very well in th USSR? Maybe we should put a wall around Cambridge and let it slide to pure socialism and form it's own facist Green government with no moral legislation and total governmental control - my guess is they would "Bring Down that Wall" in a few years!

Where are John Wayne, Wyatt Earp and Clint Eastwood when we need them? I wonder what their solution to the Greenie invasion would be if they came on the ranch messin' with their cattle or authentic ostrich boots and beaver hats?
