BEWARE THE IDES OF "MARCH! TO THE GOOSESTEP!"
© 2007 Mark Robert Gates
If Hillary Rodham Clinton is elected president, then all children in America, will have one of Oprah's schools, and uniforms are something all rational people will agree with, just to avoid endless debate. Then we can get down to the real issues involving American public education.
The only question I have is, did high school girls get asked not to wear bare midrifs to school, in order to respect that if they did, a man would have a right to rape them?
Are we still forcing women to accept, and respect, a man's right to rape them, in the 21st century?
This is why we need a woman president, so we can end this practice, on this globe.

GONZALES: MOST IMMORTAL IDIOT
© 2007 Mark Robert Gates
The most immortal act of idiocy, ever in this universe, will be hiring the dark haired girl in, Sex and the City, to play a girl who cannot find a man. If that show can be seen, a million years from now, viewers will still scratch their heads and wonder why anyone would cast such a beauty, as the dark haired one in that quartet, as unwanted by men. I mean Carrie's role is always the same, "Carrie is crying." That must be all the script says. Samantha's role is always, "Chases after a man, well past the point of reason, then ends up in a relationship she does not want, and then stays in the relationship and just pulls her hair out. The redhead's relationship's are so, "Futile," they're the only ones that actually ever come out being funny. However, the little dark hair girl, who like Elaine on Seinfeld, lacks the ability to successfuly repell a Jew, is suppossed to be, believed to be, rejected, by those of the Jewish faith, all of them. What? Madonna, they reject, not this babe.
So, since the most immortal act of idiocy award is already given, to the makers and producers of, Sex and the City, then the award for Attorney General Gonzales: Most Immortal Idiot. For Jews, this replaces Elijah, for pretending he can sit on a mountaintop for six months and pray down rain, showing he can call down fire out of heaven, slaying all the prophets of Baal by sword, and then taking off running after a little thing like Jezebel, puts out word she wants him dead. I mean, if you can call down fire out of heaven, wouldn't you just stretch out your hand in Jezebel's direction and go...."Poof." After all, Jezebel was a foriegner, who, under then Hebrew law, not only shouldn't have been married to Ahab, she should never have been allowed to even consider herself queen of Israel. So, when she decides to kill the prophet of the Lord, well you have all you need, which is why God's told Elijah, to feed the dogs, and report for a flaming chariot ride.
Now, however, Satan may claim this, Most Immortal Idiot, allowed him to place an Attorney General in office who did nothing at all, all the years he was in office. This is even better than Elijah's, pretending, to do something worthwhile, as a prophet of the Lord in Israel.
If I could, I would close this vignette with, Barbara Streisand, singing....."Memories".....

The Patriot Wars & Ode To Self-Evident Truths
This is in response to the Republican, pseudo-Christian, right-wing conspiracy rhetoric, still being espoused to this date, of which states, we Democrats, want to return to a pre-911 state. The very state with which Bush' leaguers had their heads stuck in the sand, ignoring the threat of those forms of Islamisms, in which there is no regard for the value of human life, cannot be reattained. We were always aware of this threat, and we will continue to be aware of this threat. And, as always, we continue to fight against the Republican ignorance that made 911 possible, by arguing to close our ports, until a way can be found to determine what passes through. Since we have not, we wait for the next 911.
The Patriot Wars
© 2001 Mark Robert Gates
Once again they are trying to hang patriots,
Only this time the tariffs are too steep to pay,
We cannot give in to people that participate in riots,
The mass murderers with a private torturous fray.
It’s not that we want to be, or need to, be pious,
It’s just that freedom rings in this land to stay.
So, when people with rituals and satanic tryouts,
Pick out innocent women and children for prey,
In the worst kind of unwanted and leveraged buyouts,
We need to go looking for the whites of their eyes,
And teach them the value of the freedom we prize.
Ode To Self-Evident Truths

Freedom the concept,
Begat freedom the precept,
When america the frontier eclipsed two coasts,
And law the reality forced us to accept,
The settling down to frequent
And friendly singing throats.
Proclaiming the patriot’s way of life,
To be the matriarch’s duty after wife,
And the patriarch’s service to God,
And the oligarch’s duty grown mod.
Some call it idealism,
More cherish freedom, realism,
No need for abstract idiosyncrasies
And surrealism,
We have solid foundational
And lasting self-evident truths
That have not grown old or rusted
Since the day of their youth's.

LIKE LITHIUM FOR OUR MADNESS
© 2007 Mark Robert Gates
Pre-determined acts of cruelty
And random acts of blindness,
Are never property in God's realty,
As empty of heart
and soul is mindless.
God created us with a
capacity for thought,
And the capablility to care,
So when our vices
deliver us to naught,
Remember, faith reckoned
as righteousness is rare.
The star to focus on is Christ,
God alone is good
and we are all the same,
Belief is all we may
do that is right,
Thinking we can saved
by doing good is lame.
God gave us a choice
to live or die,
We chose to disregard
obedience to His Word's,
And, we still wonder at why,
His way is not the way
we always prefered.
We chose the lie
that sin is fun,
Certain that we'd
reap a treasure,
And, promised Him
we'd win this one,
Then blamed Him for
our lack of pleasure.
Power comes from turning
from sin and giving up,
Seize this invitation and
deliberate act of kindness,
To fill our lives with love,
peace and joy overflows our cup,
Let the light free from the
bushel basket causing blindness.
For, like Lithium for our madness,
God medicates and saves our souls,
Giving freely eternal gladness,
That the lightening no longer strikes
And, the thunder no longer rolls.
The storm and sin have cleared,
This reality brings us perfect weather,
And, closer and closer
to our hearts He has neared,
Without ever condemning us
to a tether.

THE INTERPRETATION OF ROMANS
© 2007, God’s, Christ’s and His Holy Spirit, as attributed by Mark Robert Gates
In Proverbs, Solomon tells us to acquire wisdom, knowledge and understanding. He proclaims them more valuable than gold and silver. Solomon had a lot of gold and silver, and wisdom, more than any other man on earth. He told us to obey instruction and the commandments of the Lord. What Solomon wrote is a richly guarded treasure today, and many people value and cherish his advice as the Word’s of God. We study God’s Word’s to enrich ourselves, and to know God’s will. Some, choose to study just portions, and to stake a claim to what they know. The book of Romans, for instance, teaches us the Gospel in its entirety, however, it is not enough. People cannot adequately understand the book of Romans, without study of the whole bible.
Some people question the need to study the whole bible. They wonder, “If John 3:16 is all it takes to be saved, why must I study the rest of Scripture?” Taking a position that faith is all a person needs is meritorious in its conception. It demands agreement on our part. According to Martin Luther, in the introduction to his, Commentary On The Epistle To The Romans, “Faith is a living daring confidence in God’s grace, so sure and certain that a man would stake his life on it a thousand times,” (xv). The writer of Hebrews, put it this way in chapter 11, verse, 1, “Now faith is the assurance of things hoped for, the conviction of things not seen.” Surely, definitions give us enough of an understanding of faith, to realize we will stand on our faith alone, and nothing else. Certainly, we know Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob were all blessed by God, and not one of them ever read a word of Scripture. From this testimony, we can conclude, salvation does not come from reading a bible. Indeed, salvation comes from believing in Jesus Christ, God’s own Son.
Why then do people study the bible?
Faith in God leads us, who believe and follow Christ, on a search through God’s Word’s, which works to, and reveals God to us, is what R. C. Sproul teaches in his, Essential Truths Of The Christian Faith (Sproul 3). People, who have been given eternal life, are seeking to immerse themselves, in God’s Holy Commandments. Scriptures, contain a legacy, of how God has always loved His creation. His, history of love, contained in God’s Word’s, is a treasury of wisdom and knowledge, and believers and followers of Christ can gain much understanding from its study. Redemption is made more valuable, by understanding what God has worked through, in order to give us, a possibility of being just like Jesus. God has saved us from sin and death, by providing us with a model, and a means of achieving sanctity within that model. A diligent search of Scriptures will build confidence in our creator and a belief; He has always been in control.
Jack Kuhatschek writes in, Taking The Guesswork Out Of Applying The Bible:
Spiritual Christians, therefore, are characterized by two things: spiritual maturity and a greater capacity to understand God’s Word. These two qualities are closely related. It isn’t simply that mature Christians happen to know a lot of Scripture. Rather, they have allowed the Spirit of God to bring them from infancy to maturity (19).
Given a chance, and enough time, God will prove every bit of His Word’s to be true. Throughout God’s history, recorded in our bible, faithful men and women test God to see if He is true, and every time, He proves Himself without fail. Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, all Israel with Moses, Gideon and David, bear witness to God’s faithfulness to His Word’s. Given any opportunity, God delights in showing His love for all His creatures, to those who are looking for it.
Only believers will know, His truth, is in God’s Word’s. Listen to what God says, “And even if our Gospel is veiled it is veiled to those who are perishing, in whose case the god of this world has blinded the minds of the unbelieving so that they might not see the light of the Gospel of the glory of Christ, which is the image of God,” (2 Corinthians 4:3,4). Every believer and follower of Christ, will know God’s truth, and give witness to His light, however, people who are not believers in God, Christ and His Holy Spirit, will be so blinded by their idols, none will see His Word’s as truth. Unless, one has complete faith in Christ, as God’s Son, and recognizes, His creation speaks of His existence, and accepts every Word’s of God’s, Teaching, Gifts, Promises and blessings, without doubt and without fail, one will reject it all in favor of their idols.
“All Scripture is inspired by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, for training in righteousness; so that the man of God may be adequate, equipped for every good work,” (2 Timothy 3:16,17). Timothy’s verse, has never been proven false, and is one area, where God can be tested to see if He is true to His Word’s. Only, a dedicated study of all Scripture, will give God a chance to prove Himself true to his Word’s, especially in His above verse. Approaching any verse, with an understanding of His whole Word’s, will increase our understanding of God’s victory. God has won a battle and has defeated evil, sin and death. Knowing, His history of waging, a battle, is our beginning, of understanding God’s supreme glory.
“Faith without works is dead,” proclaims James in verses 17, 20, and 26 of chapter two of His epistle. He is not saying, salvation can be earned. He is saying, once salvation is obtained by faith, evidence of salvation, will be one’s resulting works. Studying a bible, is one of those works, of which will come of believing, through His Son, God has given us eternal life. We simply cannot be alive in Christ and ignore, any Word’s of God. Believers and followers of Christ, must do work, as studious scribes, if we are to satisfy our hunger, to know everything we can about God, Christ and His Holy Spirit. Our hunger cannot be satisfied, in any other way, than to read and study every Word’s of God’s self-revelation printed in present day bibles.
Also, as Word’s of God says, “Be diligent to present yourself approved to God as a workman who does not need to be ashamed, accurately handling the word of truth,” (2 Timothy 2:15). Believers and followers of Christ, cannot accurately handle, all Word’s of God, which is truth, unless we devote a good portion of our time to its study. Listen, to Jesus in His, Sermon on the Mount, and bolt a foundation, of a believer and follower of Christ’s, thought to solid rock. We read and study… “So we may withstand the onslaught and flood of worldly opposition and bolt our faith to the solid rock of that foundation,” (Matthew 7: 24,25).
We cannot accurately handle, God’s Word’s, unless we view it as a whole.
Listen to R. C. Sproul in, Essential Truths Of The Christian Faith:
The bible itself is its own Supreme Court. The chief rule of biblical interpretation is, “Sacred Scripture is its own interpreter.” This principle means that the bible is to be interpreted by the bible. What is obscure in one part of Scripture may be made clear in another. To interpret Scripture by Scripture means that we must not set one passage of Scripture against another passage. Each text must be understood not only in the light of its immediate context but also in light of the context of the whole (25).
We must study, a whole bible, in order to know any of it. Dr. Wes Gerig and Dr. Doug Barcalow, stated in personal interviews, in fall of 1998, while both taught at Taylor University in Fort Wayne, Indiana, this same advice, and suggested as well, use of commentaries to help discover hidden contexts of Romans, and other passages, of which need, a whole bible for background. Commentaries, can explain contexts, and give clear exegesis of a text. Reference books, like, “Treasury of Scripture Knowledge,” can lead one to cross references and passages, of which clarify and further define, any given bible phrase. Dr. Barcalow, also, stressed an importance, of finding a readable text, however, if its not too confusing, lexical aids, from which help comes, for one to discover, meanings of Word’s in original languages, can be rewarding study helps.
Tom McMillan, who once was my pastor at, River Of Life Christian Fellowship, in Fort Wayne, Indiana, who I also interviewed in fall of 1998, echoed a theology textbook in saying, “Scripture must be interpreted in the light of the whole,” and however, added, “Who can know the whole, get an overview.” This pastor went on to ordain a divorced woman, in church, one who had left her husband for becoming violent, after he found she married him under false pretenses, and was refusing to become His one flesh wife. Tom went on to have an affair with this divorced woman, and then leave his wife and marry this divorced woman, instead. Tom, and all his children, demonized his ex-wife, and accused her of not loving them, all because this divorced woman had a big house and a pool, where Tom’s children could have a dog, something they had faulted daddy, for being unable to provide. “This material, possession (sic), was something they all valued more than their mother,” The world, to this day still teaches, is correct biblical theology, for having, desires of one’s heart. Last I heard, Tom, while still married in sin, died of cancer, in a place of which, God’s healing nature, could be of no help. So, therefore, going off a deep end, is possible, and bear in mind, is an extreme example, if one does not know all of God’s Word’s.
In its whole, and of our bible, Romans is a whole book, of which, must be known as a whole. Believers and followers of Christ cannot set Romans apart from our bible, and we cannot have a complete bible, without Romans. Both must be studied, in entirety. A doctrine of, wholeness, will increase enjoyment of our bible, since, no part will be beyond reach of our mind, when all of a bible, is searched, for any meaning, of any of our bible.
Martin Luther said about Romans:
This Epistle is really the chief part of the New Testament and the very purest Gospel, and is worthy not only that every Christian should know it word for word, by heart, but occupy himself with it everyday, as the daily bread of the soul. It can never be read or pondered too much, and the more it is dealt with the more precious it becomes, and the better it tastes (xi).
In Romans, Paul is big on faith, and builds his, Epistle, on a theme of justification by faith. Paul nods to Abraham’s, and all faith, of many, by which resulted, being justified before God. Paul makes it clear; none will be earning, salvation through works. To fully understand, how every one of God’s patriarchs and His prophets, throughout history, came to be justified by faith, requires reading about all. Understanding of faith will be strengthened, by knowing what others do. It is, for this reason, any study of Scripture, is most profitable. God teaches, about heroes of faith, through inspiration and illumination of His, Holy Spirit, however, He wishes for His people, to read His Word’s. God’s Word’s is written down, so we can study. Romans, is a theological text of the Gospel of Jesus Christ, writes William Barclay in, The Daily Bible Series: The Letter To The Romans (Barclay 1). Dr. Barcalow, points out, one best place for children to begin reading, is with stories and narratives, which is why, Gospels we have, are written in that way. It is easier to understand Christ’s Teaching’s, when we look at stories and narratives of Christ’s: action’s.
FF. Bruce said about Romans:
In the order, which ultimately became established Romans takes pride of place among the Pauline Epistles. Historically, this is apparently because it is the longest Epistle; but there is an innate fitness in the according of this position of primacy to the Epistle, which, above all others, deserves to be called ‘The Gospel According To Paul’ (21).
Embrace truth, for Jesus said, “You will know the truth, and the truth will make you free,” (John 8:32). Call out to light, in order, it light a path, of which is, “straight and narrow, to a tiny far away gate,” (Matthew 7:14). As, more well lit a path, more securely God can hold His redeemed, and on a way one should go. It is easy to wander off and go astray. Becoming lost can be made more difficult, by following a curriculum of God’s truth, and working, faithfully, everyday. Keep a firm grasp, on all knowledge; God has given to His people. Make with it a garment, to clothe away nakedness. Fall into arms of love. God has embraced you; embrace Him and everything He is in return. Do not let go.
Unite with truth. There is no greater ally than God, love Him, and all He has created and provided. Make His Word’s, His peoples very being, let His Word’s live in you. Take His Word’s, and live it, be one with God through it. There can be no, separation or division, between God’s people and our Lord, if we keep His Commandments. Do not struggle with worldly dilemmas; walk with God in his heavenly kingdom. Tie in with a winning cause.
Romans, is a good book to study, however, our most powerful way to study Romans, is to study it with, a whole bible as background. A winning, faith-will, empowers believers and followers of Christ, to pursue God’s Word’s, with hungry devotion. Everything in our bible, will interpret everything in our bible. A need to know God drives believers and followers of Christ, into all deep studies, of God’s self-revelation. More valuable than gold and silver, are all riches of God’s Word’s. “Delight yourself in the Lord; And He will give you the desires of your heart.” (Psalm 37:4). David knew God well, and he wrote about God, so all God’s people, could know God too. Not knowing, what David knows about God, could leave a person morally bankrupt, for David confessed sins and was forgiven. And, God has made it clear, unless a person blasphemes His Holy Spirit; He will forgive all His people their sins. John 3:16, clearly makes, all God’s people, want to know all of, what God has given, out of His benevolently, beloved, love for us.
In Proverbs, Solomon tells us to acquire wisdom, knowledge and understanding. He proclaims them more valuable than gold and silver. Solomon had a lot of gold and silver, and wisdom, more than any other man on earth. He told us to obey instruction and the commandments of the Lord. What Solomon wrote is a richly guarded treasure today, and many people value and cherish his advice as the Word’s of God. We study God’s Word’s to enrich ourselves, and to know God’s will. Some, choose to study just portions, and to stake a claim to what they know. The book of Romans, for instance, teaches us the Gospel in its entirety, however, it is not enough. People cannot adequately understand the book of Romans, without study of the whole bible.
Some people question the need to study the whole bible. They wonder, “If John 3:16 is all it takes to be saved, why must I study the rest of Scripture?” Taking a position that faith is all a person needs is meritorious in its conception. It demands agreement on our part. According to Martin Luther, in the introduction to his, Commentary On The Epistle To The Romans, “Faith is a living daring confidence in God’s grace, so sure and certain that a man would stake his life on it a thousand times,” (xv). The writer of Hebrews, put it this way in chapter 11, verse, 1, “Now faith is the assurance of things hoped for, the conviction of things not seen.” Surely, definitions give us enough of an understanding of faith, to realize we will stand on our faith alone, and nothing else. Certainly, we know Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob were all blessed by God, and not one of them ever read a word of Scripture. From this testimony, we can conclude, salvation does not come from reading a bible. Indeed, salvation comes from believing in Jesus Christ, God’s own Son.
Why then do people study the bible?
Faith in God leads us, who believe and follow Christ, on a search through God’s Word’s, which works to, and reveals God to us, is what R. C. Sproul teaches in his, Essential Truths Of The Christian Faith (Sproul 3). People, who have been given eternal life, are seeking to immerse themselves, in God’s Holy Commandments. Scriptures, contain a legacy, of how God has always loved His creation. His, history of love, contained in God’s Word’s, is a treasury of wisdom and knowledge, and believers and followers of Christ can gain much understanding from its study. Redemption is made more valuable, by understanding what God has worked through, in order to give us, a possibility of being just like Jesus. God has saved us from sin and death, by providing us with a model, and a means of achieving sanctity within that model. A diligent search of Scriptures will build confidence in our creator and a belief; He has always been in control.
Jack Kuhatschek writes in, Taking The Guesswork Out Of Applying The Bible:

It isn’t simply that mature Christians happen to know a lot of Scripture. Rather, they have allowed the Spirit of God to bring them from infancy to maturity (19).
Given a chance, and enough time, God will prove every bit of His Word’s to be true. Throughout God’s history, recorded in our bible, faithful men and women test God to see if He is true, and every time, He proves Himself without fail. Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, all Israel with Moses, Gideon and David, bear witness to God’s faithfulness to His Word’s. Given any opportunity, God delights in showing His love for all His creatures, to those who are looking for it.
Only believers will know, His truth, is in God’s Word’s. Listen to what God says, “And even if our Gospel is veiled it is veiled to those who are perishing, in whose case the god of this world has blinded the minds of the unbelieving so that they might not see the light of the Gospel of the glory of Christ, which is the image of God,” (2 Corinthians 4:3,4). Every believer and follower of Christ, will know God’s truth, and give witness to His light, however, people who are not believers in God, Christ and His Holy Spirit, will be so blinded by their idols, none will see His Word’s as truth. Unless, one has complete faith in Christ, as God’s Son, and recognizes, His creation speaks of His existence, and accepts every Word’s of God’s, Teaching, Gifts, Promises and blessings, without doubt and without fail, one will reject it all in favor of their idols.
“All Scripture is inspired by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, for training in righteousness; so that the man of God may be adequate, equipped for every good work,” (2 Timothy 3:16,17). Timothy’s verse, has never been proven false, and is one area, where God can be tested to see if He is true to His Word’s. Only, a dedicated study of all Scripture, will give God a chance to prove Himself true to his Word’s, especially in His above verse. Approaching any verse, with an understanding of His whole Word’s, will increase our understanding of God’s victory. God has won a battle and has defeated evil, sin and death. Knowing, His history of waging, a battle, is our beginning, of understanding God’s supreme glory.
“Faith without works is dead,” proclaims James in verses 17, 20, and 26 of chapter two of His epistle. He is not saying, salvation can be earned. He is saying, once salvation is obtained by faith, evidence of salvation, will be one’s resulting works. Studying a bible, is one of those works, of which will come of believing, through His Son, God has given us eternal life. We simply cannot be alive in Christ and ignore, any Word’s of God. Believers and followers of Christ, must do work, as studious scribes, if we are to satisfy our hunger, to know everything we can about God, Christ and His Holy Spirit. Our hunger cannot be satisfied, in any other way, than to read and study every Word’s of God’s self-revelation printed in present day bibles.
Also, as Word’s of God says, “Be diligent to present yourself approved to God as a workman who does not need to be ashamed, accurately handling the word of truth,” (2 Timothy 2:15). Believers and followers of Christ, cannot accurately handle, all Word’s of God, which is truth, unless we devote a good portion of our time to its study. Listen, to Jesus in His, Sermon on the Mount, and bolt a foundation, of a believer and follower of Christ’s, thought to solid rock. We read and study… “So we may withstand the onslaught and flood of worldly opposition and bolt our faith to the solid rock of that foundation,” (Matthew 7: 24,25).
We cannot accurately handle, God’s Word’s, unless we view it as a whole.
Listen to R. C. Sproul in, Essential Truths Of The Christian Faith:
The bible itself is its own Supreme Court. The chief rule of biblical interpretation is, “Sacred Scripture is its own interpreter.” This principle means that the bible is to be interpreted by the bible. What is obscure in one part of Scripture may be made clear in another. To interpret Scripture by Scripture means that we must not set one passage of Scripture against another passage. Each text must be understood not only in the light of its immediate context but also in light of the context of the whole (25).
We must study, a whole bible, in order to know any of it. Dr. Wes Gerig and Dr. Doug Barcalow, stated in personal interviews, in fall of 1998, while both taught at Taylor University in Fort Wayne, Indiana, this same advice, and suggested as well, use of commentaries to help discover hidden contexts of Romans, and other passages, of which need, a whole bible for background. Commentaries, can explain contexts, and give clear exegesis of a text. Reference books, like, “Treasury of Scripture Knowledge,” can lead one to cross references and passages, of which clarify and further define, any given bible phrase. Dr. Barcalow, also, stressed an importance, of finding a readable text, however, if its not too confusing, lexical aids, from which help comes, for one to discover, meanings of Word’s in original languages, can be rewarding study helps.
Tom McMillan, who once was my pastor at, River Of Life Christian Fellowship, in Fort Wayne, Indiana, who I also interviewed in fall of 1998, echoed a theology textbook in saying, “Scripture must be interpreted in the light of the whole,” and however, added, “Who can know the whole, get an overview.” This pastor went on to ordain a divorced woman, in church, one who had left her husband for becoming violent, after he found she married him under false pretenses, and was refusing to become His one flesh wife. Tom went on to have an affair with this divorced woman, and then leave his wife and marry this divorced woman, instead. Tom, and all his children, demonized his ex-wife, and accused her of not loving them, all because this divorced woman had a big house and a pool, where Tom’s children could have a dog, something they had faulted daddy, for being unable to provide. “This material, possession (sic), was something they all valued more than their mother,” The world, to this day still teaches, is correct biblical theology, for having, desires of one’s heart. Last I heard, Tom, while still married in sin, died of cancer, in a place of which, God’s healing nature, could be of no help. So, therefore, going off a deep end, is possible, and bear in mind, is an extreme example, if one does not know all of God’s Word’s.
In its whole, and of our bible, Romans is a whole book, of which, must be known as a whole. Believers and followers of Christ cannot set Romans apart from our bible, and we cannot have a complete bible, without Romans. Both must be studied, in entirety. A doctrine of, wholeness, will increase enjoyment of our bible, since, no part will be beyond reach of our mind, when all of a bible, is searched, for any meaning, of any of our bible.
Martin Luther said about Romans:
This Epistle is really the chief part of the New Testament and the very purest Gospel, and is worthy not only that every Christian should know it word for word, by heart, but occupy himself with it everyday, as the daily bread of the soul. It can never be read or pondered too much, and the more it is dealt with the more precious it becomes, and the better it tastes (xi).
In Romans, Paul is big on faith, and builds his, Epistle, on a theme of justification by faith. Paul nods to Abraham’s, and all faith, of many, by which resulted, being justified before God. Paul makes it clear; none will be earning, salvation through works. To fully understand, how every one of God’s patriarchs and His prophets, throughout history, came to be justified by faith, requires reading about all. Understanding of faith will be strengthened, by knowing what others do. It is, for this reason, any study of Scripture, is most profitable. God teaches, about heroes of faith, through inspiration and illumination of His, Holy Spirit, however, He wishes for His people, to read His Word’s. God’s Word’s is written down, so we can study. Romans, is a theological text of the Gospel of Jesus Christ, writes William Barclay in, The Daily Bible Series: The Letter To The Romans (Barclay 1). Dr. Barcalow, points out, one best place for children to begin reading, is with stories and narratives, which is why, Gospels we have, are written in that way. It is easier to understand Christ’s Teaching’s, when we look at stories and narratives of Christ’s: action’s.
FF. Bruce said about Romans:
In the order, which ultimately became established Romans takes pride of place among the Pauline Epistles. Historically, this is apparently because it is the longest Epistle; but there is an innate fitness in the according of this position of primacy to the Epistle, which, above all others, deserves to be called ‘The Gospel According To Paul’ (21).
Embrace truth, for Jesus said, “You will know the truth, and the truth will make you free,” (John 8:32). Call out to light, in order, it light a path, of which is, “straight and narrow, to a tiny far away gate,” (Matthew 7:14). As, more well lit a path, more securely God can hold His redeemed, and on a way one should go. It is easy to wander off and go astray. Becoming lost can be made more difficult, by following a curriculum of God’s truth, and working, faithfully, everyday. Keep a firm grasp, on all knowledge; God has given to His people. Make with it a garment, to clothe away nakedness. Fall into arms of love. God has embraced you; embrace Him and everything He is in return. Do not let go.
Unite with truth. There is no greater ally than God, love Him, and all He has created and provided. Make His Word’s, His peoples very being, let His Word’s live in you. Take His Word’s, and live it, be one with God through it. There can be no, separation or division, between God’s people and our Lord, if we keep His Commandments. Do not struggle with worldly dilemmas; walk with God in his heavenly kingdom. Tie in with a winning cause.
Romans, is a good book to study, however, our most powerful way to study Romans, is to study it with, a whole bible as background. A winning, faith-will, empowers believers and followers of Christ, to pursue God’s Word’s, with hungry devotion. Everything in our bible, will interpret everything in our bible. A need to know God drives believers and followers of Christ, into all deep studies, of God’s self-revelation. More valuable than gold and silver, are all riches of God’s Word’s. “Delight yourself in the Lord; And He will give you the desires of your heart.” (Psalm 37:4). David knew God well, and he wrote about God, so all God’s people, could know God too. Not knowing, what David knows about God, could leave a person morally bankrupt, for David confessed sins and was forgiven. And, God has made it clear, unless a person blasphemes His Holy Spirit; He will forgive all His people their sins. John 3:16, clearly makes, all God’s people, want to know all of, what God has given, out of His benevolently, beloved, love for us.

Lady Sonia Fantasia
© 2007 Mark Robert Gates
Would ladylove and lady luck
Be judged united
For more than one night
And dawn eternity,
Blossoming out upon
Our new age like pled
I will forever be requited,
My Lady Sonia fantasy.
Will ever we share together
And have a marriage of monogamy?
Tarry forever after unwaveringly
And irresistibly in faithfulness?
Will unerring and undeniable obedience,
our result, of her glam be?
Still not knowing,
Let go I a shot in the dark,
Will we married Ladyness?
Even if a slave to love I’d be,
I believe in mutual submission,
All must submit to a microwave
To use the oven to heat things up,
We cannot get popped corn
Without creating the right fusion,
Enter the time and place
And degrees of requital,
And I hold out my cup.
I will always have sex with only you,
And I will always be with only you,
I will never do things with another,
And there will always only be just us,
Together forever,
I do anything you want,
Without grazing in mourning dew.
Lady Sonia,
Will you marry and unite with me
In my Lady Sonia Fantasia, for all y’us?
COMMENTS:
I really do belive, God's of our' Bible's, teaches marriage as mutual submission, hence, "A husband and a wife lie together and become one flesh." This is not possible, unless both submit mutually to one another, and with equal respect. And, for those who have trouble with the word submission, I understand mostly this is fallout from some men's concept of submission, however, rightly submission really is as simple as one having to submit to using the microwave the way its designed in order to get it to work.
No matter how one approaches a microwave, one must punch the correct buttons as required by the microwave, or one will not get the desired result. Furthermore, even a man must submit to the microwave to use it, and none can claim submission is not required to have sex with one's wife. If you know of any man who cannot accept having to submit to the microwave, then beware of this person, he is dangerous, and if you are married to one, get out now, as fast as possible, this man will be trying to find a way to blow away the microwave with a shotgun.
Also, as a photographer I have come to be known as God's number one nature fan, so I do not find photographs of naked women offensive. What God and I really want to know, when you look at a photograph of a naked woman, what goes through your mind? Are you a man who sees a candidate for rape, and calls this the subject in the photographs fault? If so, be forewarned, God and I do not consider that a natural response. Seeing a naked woman usually fills me with a desire to be married to her, and the desire to marry, is the natural one, God's put there.
Now, of course if the woman is already married and does not practice polygamy, then one cannot marry her, however, desiring to marry her is a natural desire. If one thinks one is going to marry a woman just because of his desire to do so, and especially if she is married and not practicing polygamy, then this is not a natural thought, and not the woman's fault. Ask, God's of our' Bible's, about what David was thinking of when he saw Bathsheba, his thoughts were not clean since he ended up murdering her husband and claiming her. I, and God's of the Bible's, do not want men claiming anymore, it is nakedness, that causes their impure thoughts, I repeat, impure thoughts when viewing a naked woman are not natural. Natural, is the desire to marry.

GENESIS CHAPTERS 1 & 2

The Hebrew language in which, Genesis, is written, contains no punctuation,
I have left this translation without punctuation
as it is quite legible and understandable as is.

TOMORROW, TODAY, LIFE COULD GET WORSE
I logged onto http://astrology.com/ just for fun, to find out what is in the stars for me today, and this was my horoscope:
The simple pleasures in life don't really seem to be offering up anything pleasurable these days. Try shifting your focus to the more complicated pleasures in life.
I, however, have other plans, I am still free falling, into it, to see if the bottomless pit is really bottomless. I am at altitude -1,000,000,000 miles, past the equator, off the coast of the Milky Way, and, three trillion years into the black hole, with no sight of bottom.

HOORAY FOR HILLARY, ONLY PERSON MAN ENOUGH TO DO THE JOB RIGHT
At last, we have a possible chance to return to being a civilized nation, with Senator Clinton, officially in the running, and the biggest hat yet tossed in the rink, to boot.
There are many things, these lame duck, pseudo-Christian, right-wing conspiracy, Republicans, will simply not allow being tended to, poor education, shrinking household incomes, people slipping helplessly below poverty levels, crime going on virtually unacosted, mental health and other disabilities going either untreated, or being ignored completely, while they argue to stop the only research that shows any hope of help, stem cells.
Our, platform will simply have to be arranged around contributing in any manner possible for us, as can be done, in our increasing our own public welfare. We are fighting wars abroad, while young boys and girls are being treated like victims, whose victimizer sees a waste to be scavenged off our city and country roads, and raped, molested and murdered. Somehow, we have not gotten the message to all of us, God wants us to hear, we who are still alive; we have lives worth living, and we have souls worth saving.
I am happy to be, announcing my availability in any manner possible, in helping in Senator Clinton's campaign to become president, and I hope she does not think this rude and unmannerly, I see a person here running for president, who is the only person, man enough, to do the job that needs being done, right now, in our America.

We all know how this works, we send in our operative, with an agreement, if caught we in America will deny all knowledge of this person having any existence. In Iraq, and given today's Iraq policy, it is time we "We American's" fall back on this, plausible deniabilty, as, there is still time and, as, there is still a possibility of maintaining, America's pristine, war image, by denying any involvement, by those past operative's now caught, in Iraqi war failure's, and involved in our current Ameri-government affairs. So, lets get our stories' straight and make sure we do not spill our guts, in a mistaken fear of loss, of our credible use of plausible deniability. Please, fill out your, Plausible Deniabiltiy Sweepstakes, entry, and send it in today, "We" could be America's next big winner.
We simply, all deny together, there is anyone, we know of, named, George W. Bush, who ever was, or who is now, an American president.

CASEY AT THE BAT
by Ernest Lawrence Thayer
Published in The Examiner (San Francisco) (3 June 1888)
The Outlook wasn't brilliant for the Mudville nine that day:
The score stood four to two, with but one inning more to play.
And then when Cooney died at first, and Barrows did the same,
A sickly silence fell upon the patrons of the game.
A straggling few got up to go in deep despair. The rest
Clung to that hope which springs eternal in the human breast;
They thought, if only Casey could get but a whack at that -
We'd put up even money, now, with Casey at the bat.
But Flynn preceded Casey, as did also Jimmy Blake,
And the former was a lulu and the latter was a fake;
So upon that stricken multitude grim melancholy sat,
For there seemed but little chance of Casey's getting to the bat.
But Flynn let drive a single, to the wonderment of all,
And Blake, the much despis-ed, tore the cover off the ball;
And when the dust had lifted, and the men saw what had occurred,
There was Jimmy safe at second and Flynn a-hugging third.
Then from 5,000 throats and more there rose a lusty yell;
It rumbled through the valley, it rattled in the dell;
It knocked upon the mountain and recoiled upon the flat,
For Casey, mighty Casey, was advancing to the bat.
There was ease in Casey's manner as he stepped into his place;
There was pride in Casey's bearing and a smile on Casey's face.
And when, responding to the cheers, he lightly doffed his hat,
No stranger in the crowd could doubt 'twas Casey at the bat.
Ten thousand eyes were on him as he rubbed his hands with dirt;
Five thousand tongues applauded when he wiped them on his shirt.
Then while the writhing pitcher ground the ball into his hip,
Defiance gleamed in Casey's eye, a sneer curled Casey's lip.
And now the leather-covered sphere came hurtling through the air,
And Casey stood a-watching it in haughty grandeur there.
Close by the sturdy batsman the ball unheeded sped-
"That ain't my style," said Casey. "Strike one," the umpire said.
From the benches, black with people, there went up a muffled roar,
Like the beating of the storm-waves on a stern and distant shore."
Kill him! Kill the umpire!" shouted someone on the stand;
And it's likely they'd a-killed him had not Casey raised his hand.
With a smile of Christian charity great Casey's visage shown;
He stilled the rising tumult; he made the game go on;
He signaled to the pitcher, and once more the spheroid flew;
But Casey still ignored it, and the umpire said, "Strike two."
"Fraud!" cried the maddened thousands, and echo answered fraud;
But one scornful look from Casey and the audience was awed.
They saw his face grow stern and cold, they saw his muscles strain,
And they knew that Casey wouldn't let that ball go by again.
The sneer is gone from Casey's lip, his teeth are clenched in hate;
He pounds with cruel violence his bat upon the plate.
And now the pitcher holds the ball, and now he lets it go,
And now the air is shattered by the force of Casey's blow.
Oh, somewhere in this favored land the sun is shining bright;
The band is playing somewhere, and somewhere hearts are light,
And somewhere men are laughing, and somewhere children shout;
But there is no joy in Mudville - mighty Casey has struck out.

Commentary:
© 2007 Mark Robert Gates:
This inning replayed, for those unaware,
George W. Bush' league warfare,
struck out last October, and for all:
lame duck, pseudo-Christian, right-wing,
Bush' Leaguer's, the war is over,
and the pennant is lost.
This even a diehard Cub's fan knows.
3000 to 1, is enough swings at one bat.
When I get my room, in the house on Gold Street,
in God's New Founded Kingdom on Earth,
I will ask for a radio, from which to listen,
for maybe, one day the Cub's will win a pennant.

"Fraud!" cried the maddened thousands, and echo answered fraud;
But one scornful look from Casey and the audience was awed.
They saw his face grow stern and cold, they saw his muscles strain,
And they knew that Casey wouldn't let that ball go by again.
The sneer is gone from Casey's lip, his teeth are clenched in hate;
He pounds with cruel violence his bat upon the plate.
And now the pitcher holds the ball, and now he lets it go,
And now the air is shattered by the force of Casey's blow.
Oh, somewhere in this favored land the sun is shining bright;
The band is playing somewhere, and somewhere hearts are light,
And somewhere men are laughing, and somewhere children shout;
But there is no joy in Mudville - mighty Casey has struck out.

Commentary:
© 2007 Mark Robert Gates:
This inning replayed, for those unaware,
George W. Bush' league warfare,
struck out last October, and for all:
lame duck, pseudo-Christian, right-wing,
Bush' Leaguer's, the war is over,
and the pennant is lost.
This even a diehard Cub's fan knows.
3000 to 1, is enough swings at one bat.
When I get my room, in the house on Gold Street,
in God's New Founded Kingdom on Earth,
I will ask for a radio, from which to listen,
for maybe, one day the Cub's will win a pennant.

A CONSPIRACY OF ONE
© 2007 Mark Robert Gates, except where U.S. Code, is presented.
Fourscore, and so many years ago, not even Abe Lincoln can remember, we were at war with ourselves, and a discontented South, gladly conceded, so as to make their peace. Now, we once again fight the war, it seems, in Texas. Where, a bewildered student body, with tireless, laziness on their hands, has nothing better to do with their extracurricular activity, than to tilt at statues, in the lawn.
It seems, there just cannot be a remembrance, anywhere that, there ever was a Southside to our civil war, and only a Northside, must present, for the entire field of battle. We cannot be allowed to see, who in history, stood, against our sturdy northern stock of men, in a contest, to end all subjection of men to another's personal will. There, were many on both sides, who fought to contain, in history, a place, where slavery and servitude, end.
And, yet, there are those who would closet those who were amongst the fight, and did not lose a right to be seen in public, and even to be seen as a statue. To do this is to hide, and then erase, a part of American history, that must never be forgotten, lest, we do it all again. That is right, after putting those statues in the closet, and defying a man's right to be remembered, or another's, right to remember him, then we have no reminder, we once fought to end the right to own, or alter on demand, another person. And, as such, to be able to alter on demand another's law-abiding, person, property, will, heart's desire, love, passion, remembrance, dream, knowledge, cognitive science, theology, imagination or inclination, against their will, is to defy present civil rights law.
If we fail to learn the lesson's of yesterday, by looking at the statues of those who fought with the Southside, then we fail to learn, our place, is not to decide the contest again, however, to remember. No discrimination, therefore, is ever allowed on the basis of, deciding civil rights, and according to U.S. Federal code, penalties are allowed if such a group decide to conspire against rights, or conspire to interfere with civil rights. And, the rights of the man, in the statue, still state, "I am allowed to stand, here."

OUTLAWING DESERT STARVATION, AS A MEANS OF EXECUTION
© 2006 Mark Robert Gates
It can be proven, now, that, the removal of people, from their property, and leaving them in a desert to die, is a death sentence, and this method of execution needs to be outlawed, worldwide.
I have it on good authority, all people who were starved to death, using this method of execution, would have preferred to be offered a more humane method of execution. They all wanna know, "For God sake's, why did you not, just, machine gun me to death, when you seized my property?"
It can be shown, in all places where this practice occures, people happy to live off the land, had a means of acquiring food, even though to society, they were considered impoverished. In our' God's of our' Bible's, Christ's, says, "We will have the poor with us always." However, this does not refer to starving to death. We, who are follower's and believer's in the God's of the Bible's, and God's Himself, will not allow the definition of poor, in this passage to be equated, anylonger, to: "Unable to acquire food." As, Christ did not say, "We will be starving to death people, always." This, perversions of God's, and Christ's intent, is criminal in its endeavourer, always. And, all nations, and all world courts, must now write laws to specifically state, to render a person, to a state, where this person is unable to acquire food, is a sentence to crime, or a personal attack, that is now outlawed. worldwide.
A desert, courtesy of, Answers.com, and the American Heritage Dictionary, is defined as such:
A barren or desolate area, especially:
A dry, often sandy region of little rainfall, extreme temperatures, and sparse vegetation.
A region of permanent cold that is largely or entirely devoid of life.
An apparently lifeless area of water.
An empty or forsaken place; a wasteland: a cultural desert.
Archaic. A wild, uncultivated, and uninhabited region.adj.
Of, relating to, characteristic of, or inhabiting a desert: desert fauna.
Barren and uninhabited; desolate: a desert island.
This means, isolating a person, economically, and removing any ability, to acquire any economic necessities, is to sentence, illegally, this person, to a desert, to starve to death, and is always, and forevermore, a criminal action, and not allowed to be viewed as a legitimate legal action.
This is necessary to protect these people, being removed from this sentence, from being resentenced, by another, as we are trying to aide the person's damaged in such a crime.
Our, remedy, must be to require all sovereign's nations to accept this international law, and that a person rendered to the state of, Desert, must be allowed international, asylum, of their choosing. As, sovereign's nation's, enforcing, this international law, it must be required, all person's, placed in a starvation desert, are entitled to, successful relocation to a place of being able to acquire food.
What, we must do, when people are placed in a desert, is send an international team, to remove them from this illegal sentence. We, will take all person's from their place of sentence, including all people starving in a desert region of our' earth, even up to multitudes, and provide whatever, is necessary to allow them, by voluntary means, to choose, where else to live, and recover, economically to a place where they are again able, to always, acquire food, without aide. This, means those who choose to live off the land, in a straw hut, in Africa, can return there, even though, to society, this is still considered an impoverished condition. There are those who do not desire, Ipods, and would like to just live close to nature, and survive, by growing, or raising what they eat, and want nothing else, except, such a simple life, and we have no legitimate right, to remove from a person, this desire, to live as they choose, without, modern technology.
Any country, or person, sentencing, or personally attacking a person in such a way as to make, a person, or people, to be rendered to such a state, as, a desert where one is unable to acquire food, will be required to provide payment to whatever agency, or agencies, were required to aide these victims, in being, economically re-established, in a place of their voluntary choosing, to a state of a voluntary means of acquiring food. There will be no pussyfooting, any form of seizure, of any available assets and monies, will be allowed, to collect payment for committing such an atrocity. Please, do not expect, kind and gracious treatment, from world and national authorities, after making it necessary to deal with such a situation.

DETECTION OF THE GOD SPIRIT, BY SCIENTIFIC MEANS
© 2006 Mark Robert Gates
A need exists in our 21st Century to find
a scientific method of detecting the God Spirit,
and the human spirit’s existence.
Currently, there are heartless, people with obvious
problems of brain inactivity, hovering around those
they call brain dead. These human vampires, wait for
the situation of undetectable brain activity,
in a machine sustained body
for a state of which they call brain dead to exist
to use a legal document
to flush the soul from the body
in order to dispose of the body.
There, are those of us acquainted with God’s
who know, there is more brain activity
in the brain called, brain dead,
than in the mind of the man
wanting to pull the plug
on the man, he calls, brain dead.
We must find a verifiable method of determining
the presence of a soul in a person,
And, develop a constitutional law stating:
Occupation, by the soul,
of the body,
by being in the body,
proves,
desire of, said,
spirit to occupy, said body.
As, obviously,
if the spirit did not choose to occupy
the body, it would not do so.
In order to enforce this constitutional law
We must detect the spirit’s presence, in order
To confirm, whether or not, medical instruments
Are capable of sustaining life in
a body without a spirit.
If we are to develop,
a scientific method of detecting the God Spirit,
removed from all existing theological methods,
theology schools provide students with
several methods of detecting the God Spirit,
as part of their course of instruction,
we, however, must use only cognitive science,
using only scientific observations,
and scientific instruments capable of detection,
then we must, first, form a series of questions,
from which we are to form our hypothesis,
or series of hypothecis.
Question 1: If the God Spirit exists, what is it composed of?
We know it is not atomic,
and not anything of which would necessitate atomic make-up,
such as chemical, as all this can now be detected,
by modern scientific methods.
Question 2: What is this God Spirit’s source of energy?
As, we know all living things require a source of energy, in order, to live.
A: Is the God Spirits source of energy, Internal only?
And, is this source of internal energy, self-sustaining?
And, is this internal, self-sustaining, source of energy,
Universal, and the source of all existing energy, and,
is it the same universal energy the Chinese refer to as Chi?
B: Is there an internal, self-sustaining source of energy,
in the God Spirit, and also, an external universal source of energy,
and which source of energy, is the universal energy,
the Chinese refer to as Chi?
C: Is there, an external only, universal source of energy,
and the God Spirit, itself, requires this source to sustain itself,
and, is this external only source of universal energy,
the universal energy the Chinese refer to as Chi?
Remember, there are theological texts, of which,
teach of a God Spirit, capable of experiencing death.
Now, we have series of questions, necessary to provide answers
in our quest to form a hypothesis, to detect the God Spirit,
from use of only scientific methods, observations, and instruments.
Now, we must combine the mind of Albert Einstein, with the mind of Edison,
And, go out in the laboratory, and attempt to create instruments,
Needed for detection.
Remember, in order to invent the radar speed detection gun,
one does not need to form a hypothesis,
to prove the existence of the automobile,
In order to devise a method of detecting its speed.
However, here we now must find, first, a method of detecting, whatever,
the God Spirit, if the God Spirit exists, is composed of,
by forming our hypothesis, as to what this composition is composed of.
Good luck, everyone, in your search, however, I would be informed
It is probably best if we find this method of detection,
Before, our next president takes office, as, we are having several obviouse problems
Made necessary by our presidents inability to communicate with a God Spirit.

Iraq: The President's Smack
© 2006 Mark Robert Gates
It is maddening to hear the things Hillary Rodham Clinton gets accused of, like actually representing her constituency, rollin’ up her sleeves and jumping into things she believes in, without regard for her personal reputation. In fact, she does not have any regard for what anyone thinks of her personally, when persuing something she belives in, and will not let public critisizm, and complaint stop pursuit of high and lofty ideals.
Obama, is already overwith, he firmly shot himself in the foot, after firmly sticking it in his mouth. He said when asked if he was experienced enough to be president, “Is anyone ever really ready to be president?” How naive can a man be, to run for president on such a high and lofty ideal as that?
After, 6 years, of making it up as we go, while George W. Bush, has to rediscover what Alexander Pope wrote in 1734, http://lokieponaphoenix.blogspot.com/2006/11/epistle-iii-of-nature-and-state-of-man.html, we do not need another mere mindless, and meaningless speculator.
Trust me a two day or two week legal process is not what American's want. Yes, it can seem impossibly encumbered with technicalities, however, our legal process is designed to protect the rights of those innocent American's, either unjustly or falsely accused from being incarcerated on false charges. Therefore, we will never have in America, a legal system in which just accusing a person is enough to make a person guilty.
Unless, you would like to go to jail for George W. Bush's imagination, we will all have to continue to fight to preserve our American right to a fair trial, in order to maintain all of our American liberties and rights. There is no other way, look at the outgoing congress, and the number of sharks looking for a way to make all of their false charges stick without any public or private scrutiny to determine whether the charges are legitimate.

If there is a thing in a person one cannot admit the truth about, such as the desire to commit a crime, or the position of being in the process of committing a crime, where in admitting the truth would require confession. Then this person is incapable of accepting the truth about anything, as accepting the truth about any one thing would require accepting the truth about this person's criminal intentions, or their crime in process.
There is no point in debating a person such as this, no truth whatsoever, will ever be acceptable.

You have to realize the reason these "Insurgents" are kidnapping all of these people, is, that when the Democrats give the war to a qualified military, to handle, this milktoast approach, of George W. Bush's is goin' to end in Iraq. They are kidnapping all of these people to use as human sheilds, when the real war begins.
http://thumbsnap.com/v/uIE4f5nq.jpg
This administration is using the same failed policies, as in Iran in the 80's, with the same result.
The result of trying to foist a western ideology on an eastern culture, is always, a religious backlash. Unless, this administration changes its policies, we will see the same result as in Iran in the 80's, an Ayatohla.
Also, we are fighting this war today, because, Americans, and other misguided countries, would not let Israel proscute, Yasar Arafat, when he was captured. Instead, these people tried to broker a peace, by asking Israel to give land and amnesty to terrorists. When Messir Arafat finally realized, he was not going to be given, what he killed people for, after all, like his Nobel Prize, he returned to being a terrorist.
Did Yasar Arafat have rockets?
These wars are always racist, they are not about religion, and they are not about ideology, they are about extermination of races. We too, are in this war as racists, as our military also carries orders, to kill everyone of the same race. We lost the ideological war in Iraq when we opened, Quantanamo, we, whites, as a race, are not any better than Arabs, Muslims and Hebrews, we maim, rape, kill, murder, prostitute and torture, just the same.
As far as a loving God, is concerned, when asked if they wanted a place in Iraqi government, "Insurgents" said, "No." And, to their charges said, "Go on killing." These, "Insurgents" are only interested in killing, and the people living in Iraq, and Afganistan, are screaming to God's for help, and God's has said, "So be it: I will now carry out my wrath."

This, Iraq involvement, was not a pre-emptive war, it is official, now in Washington, this involvement by Bush' and company was a: presumptive war, based purely on speculations'.
It will now be known, as, the human sacrifice necessary, to get American's a real picture of what life is like in the Middle East, so we can now be friends with those cultures, against the orders of Bush' and company, and like's of Dr. Dobson's.

Somebody, needs to tell Mel Gibson, what I always did when I encountered, first, this apocalypse story, in a church, “You are imagining things!”
Once more, its the troops I support, not human sacrifice. I do not want those people dying for me, in that way, as, the only way those deaths could ever have had any worth, is if you people, had actually eaten their flesh, and sucked the fat from between their ribs. It will be better for cannibalism, in those days, when God’s wrath appears.

A Little Less Fuck, and A Lot More Inaction
© 2006 Mark Robert Gates
I have discovered what is either, the biggest marketing fiasco, in world history, or a case of every executive, and producer, at Toby Keith's label, wanting to pull down his pants, and have sex with a Toby Keith fan in her bedroom, in consulation for screwing her royally, in the first place.
This is the line-up of the labels first Toby Keith Greatest Hit's:

If I want to get Pam, her favorite Toby Keith song, I got to buy one Greatest Hit's album, with it being the only song on the album she will know. A little less, Talk, and a Little more Action.
And, then I have to buy her, Toby Keith's Greatest Hit's 2, to get her all the rest of the Toby Keith songs she likes, and her second favorite, How Do You Like Me Now?!
I listen to all my music on my xomputer, through a juke box, since, discovering, even CDs sound better when ripped and played through 5.1 Surround Sound Blaster. So, I can arrange a playlist anyway I like, so it doesn't matter to me, however, this would have killed Pam, were she still alive in the flesh, today, since, I cannot buy her all of her favorite Toby Keith songs, on one CD's, and she only has the CD, player, of which, I still have, to play songs on.
If this perverse label's executives were to release a: Toby Keith's Real Legitmate Greatest Hit's, with this line up:

Toby Keith
And, if I could buy this, Toby Keith's, Real Legitmate, Greatest Hit's, CD, for Pam, for Christmas this year, she would still be dancing to it, next Christmas, when unwrapping her next Christmas present.
If there is any agrument between Toby Keith, and his perverse label, over whether or not they know his fans, then argument is settled, "Please', Fuck off!" And, give Toby Keith, full artistic control, or do as Pam wants, move to another planet, in another Galaxy. And, if you exec's and producer's wish to go to heaven, to meet her, do as she also requests, cut your pecker off before you die, or deal with her.
I will be fully enraged for an entire year, since, this year I cannot buy Pam, what would be her eternally favorite album, and I will be for each year until I can. Do not let the sun go down on your anger, or deal with Pam.

© 2006, Mark Robert Gates
The bone-to-soil ratio, necessary, for the Kingdom of Heaven on Earth, has already exceeded quotas, and allowable limits, and is causing massive, instabiblity, therefore, only bones of those people being raptured, are now, to be, accepted for deposit in the earth. No more bones, not-to-be raptured, are to be deposited in the earth, unless rapture will happen, to a person's bones, we no longer want those bones deposited in the earth. If known, a rapture will not occure, please do not deposit any more, such, bones in the earth, and, make prior arrangements, to death, to have those bones deposited elsewhwere. Do not use a plastic bag and do not leave them here, inform population: to take them with you. Pouring blood out on the earth, will still be allowed, as the earth’s, hot magma core, will absorb any applied amounts of blood poured out upon it, however, all bones, not being raptured, must, now and forevermore, be deposited, elsewhere. Thank you.

This article is about the game; for the graph theory property, see Planar graph.
Planarity is the name of a puzzle computer game based on a concept by Mary Radcliffe at Western Michigan University.[1]
The name comes from the term planar graph. In graph theory, a planar graph is a graph that can be embedded in a plane so that no edges intersect. In the game, the player starts out with a tangled series of connected dots, and has to untangle the web until no edges intersect.
The original implementation of this game was a flash game developed by John Tantalo at Case Western Reserve University.[1] It in turn has inspired the creation of a [[GTK+]] version by Xiph.org's Chris Montgomery, which possesses additional level generation algorithms and the ability to manipulate multiple nodes at once.[2]

HYMN TO INTELLECTUAL BEAUTY
by Percy Bysshe Shelley
The awful shadow of some unseen Power
Floats though unseen among us, -- visiting
This various world with as inconstant wing
As summer winds that creep from flower to flower, --
Like moonbeams that behind some piny mountain shower,
It visits with inconstant glance
Each human heart and countenance;
Like hues and harmonies of evening, --
Like clouds in starlight widely spread, --
Like memory of music fled,
--Like aught that for its grace may be
Dear, and yet dearer for its mystery.
Spirit of Beauty, that dost consecrate
With thine own hues all thou dost shine upon
Of human thought or form, -- where art thou gone?
Why dost thou pass away and leave our state,
This dim vast vale of tears, vacant and desolate?
Ask why the sunlight not for ever
Weaves rainbows o'er yon mountain-river,
Why aught should fail and fade that once is shown,
Why fear and dream and death and birth
Cast on the daylight of this earth
Such gloom, -- why man has such a scope
For love and hate, despondency and hope?
No voice from some sublimer world hath ever
To sage or poet these responses given --
Therefore the names of Demon, Ghost, and Heaven,
Remain the records of their vain endeavour,
Frail spells -- whose uttered charm might not avail to sever,
From all we hear and all we see,
Doubt, chance, and mutability.
Thy light alone -- like mist oe'er the mountains driven,
Or music by the night-wind sent
Through strings of some still instrument,
Or moonlight on a midnight stream,
Gives grace and truth to life's unquiet dream.
Love, Hope, and Self-esteem, like clouds depart
And come, for some uncertain moments lent.
Man were immortal, and omnipotent,
Didst thou, unknown and awful as thou art,
Keep with thy glorious train firm state within his heart.
Thou messgenger of sympathies,
That wax and wane in lovers' eyes --
Thou -- that to human thought art nourishment,
Like darkness to a dying flame!
Depart not as thy shadow came,
Depart not -- lest the grave should be,
Like life and fear, a dark reality.
While yet a boy I sought for ghosts, and sped
Through many a listening chamber, cave and ruin,
And starlight wood, with fearful steps pursuing
Hopes of high talk with the departed dead.
I called on poisonous names with which our youth is fed;
I was not heard -- I saw them not --When musing deeply on the lot
Of life, at that sweet time when winds are wooing
All vital things that wake to bring
News of birds and blossoming, --
Sudden, thy shadow fell on me;
I shrieked, and clasped my hands in ecstasy!
I vowed that I would dedicate my powers
To thee and thine -- have I not kept the vow?
With beating heart and streaming eyes, even now
I call the phantoms of a thousand hours
Each from his voiceless grave: they have in visioned bowers
Of studious zeal or love's delight
Outwatched with me the envious night --
They know that never joy illumed my brow
Unlinked with hope that thou wouldst free
This world from its dark slavery,
That thou - O awful Loveliness,
Wouldst give whate'er these words cannot express.
The day becomes more solemn and serene
When noon is past -- there is a harmony
In autumn, and a lustre in its sky,
Which through the summer is not heard or seen,
As if it could not be, as if it had not been!
Thus let thy power, which like the truth
Of nature on my passive youth
Descended, to my onward life supply
Its calm -- to one who worships thee,
And every form containing thee,
Whom, Spirit fair, thy spells did bind
To fear himself, and love all human kind.
This work is in the public domain worldwide because the author died at least 100 years ago.

PARADIGMS OF ISSUE
© 2006 Mark Robert Gates
In America we are fighting two paradigms, of which we have to see an end, or find a way to prevent those of whom hold these paradigms from being a danger, threat, or harm to us.
Paradigm 1: When I am breaking the law, it is no longer illegal to do so. These people believe once they have decided to break the law, it is no longer illegal to do so, due to their rationalizations, and there is no place to place a stop sign in the road, once a person with this paradigm chooses to break American laws. These people now believe what they are doing is legal, and enforcing the law to stop them, is illegal.
A way has to be found, now that we can prove this paradigm to exist, to either end this paradigm in a person, or see that a person with this paradigm is no longer a danger, threat, or capable of causing us harm.
Paradigm: The God is an idiot paradigm: There are people who would lie to God, Christ and the Holy Spirit, and all of society on an open microphone, and then believe, I am an idiot. These people believe in a god of which created all of these lovely people on this planet to be their victims and this loving god aides them in victimizing their victims. Why? These people not only believe God is an idiot, they believe anyone who believes in a loving God, and believes they are being nurtured by this loving God, are also, idiots. And, these people try to enforce a clause, of which states: God is an idiot; this beliver is an idiot. Yes, these people want all people who belive and follow God's of our' Bible's tagged: idiots. Yes. God created the earth and all of these people in it, in order that they may have them as victims, is what these people believe, and if God does not aide them in having these victims, God is not loving. And, will fight to the last man to enforce this rule.
A way has to be found, now that this paradigm of religious persecution can be proved to exist, to prove, once and for all, American law prevents and protects its citizens from such religious torture's. And, use exsiting law, to either end this paradigm in a person, or to enforce all parts of American law, and prevent and protect Americans from this, God is an idiot paradigm, from being a danger, threat, or capable of causing us harm.
There is no need to limit freedom's of speech and press, all we have to do as American's is enforce those laws already existing of which state: Freedom's of speech, press, religion, and our right to a fair trial, do not exist to protect lies.

DEMOCRITTUS JUNIOR TO HIS BOOK, from Project Gutenberg's The Anatomy of Melancholy, by Democritus Junior
PARAPHRASTIC METRICAL TRANSLATION. (1621)
Go forth my book into the open day;
Happy, if made so by its garish eye.
O'er earth's wide surface take thy vagrant way,
To imitate thy master's genius try.
The Graces three, the Muses nine salute,
Should those who love them try to con thy lore.
The country, city seek, grand thrones to boot,
With gentle courtesy humbly bow before.
Should nobles gallant, soldiers frank and brave
Seek thy acquaintance, hail their first advance:
From twitch of care thy pleasant vein may save,
May laughter cause or wisdom give perchance.
Some surly Cato, Senator austere,
Haply may wish to peep into thy book:
Seem very nothing--tremble and revere:
No forceful eagles, butterflies e'er look.
They love not thee: of them then little seek,
And wish for readers triflers like thyself.
Of ludeful matron watchful catch the beck,
Or gorgeous countess full of pride and pelf.
They may say "pish!" and frown, and yet read on:
Cry odd, and silly, coarse, and yet amusing.
Should dainty damsels seek thy page to con,
Spread thy best stores: to them be ne'er refusing:
Say, fair one, master loves thee dear as life;
Would he were here to gaze on thy sweet look.
Should known or unknown student, freed from strife
Of logic and the schools, explore my book:
Cry mercy critic, and thy book withhold:
Be some few errors pardon'd though observ'd:
An humble author to implore makes bold.
Thy kind indulgence, even undeserv'd,
Should melancholy wight or pensive lover,
Courtier, snug cit, or carpet knight so trim
Our blossoms cull, he'll find himself in clover,
Gain sense from precept, laughter from our whim.
Should learned leech with solemn air unfold
Thy leaves, beware, be civil, and be wise:
Thy volume many precepts sage may hold,
His well fraught head may find no trifling prize.
Should crafty lawyer trespass on our ground,
Caitiffs avaunt! disturbing tribe away!
Unless (white crow) an honest one be found;
He'll better, wiser go for what we say.
Should some ripe scholar, gentle and benign,
With candour, care, and judgment thee peruse:
Thy faults to kind oblivion he'll consign;
Nor to thy merit will his praise refuse.
Thou may'st be searched for polish'd words and verse
By flippant spouter, emptiest of praters:
Tell him to seek them in some mawkish verse:
My periods all are rough as nutmeg graters.
The doggerel poet, wishing thee to read,
Reject not; let him glean thy jests and stories.
His brother I, of lowly sembling breed:
Apollo grants to few Parnassian glories.
Menac'd by critic with sour furrowed brow,
Momus or Troilus or Scotch reviewer:
Ruffle your heckle, grin and growl and vow:
Ill-natured foes you thus will find the fewer,
When foul-mouth'd senseless railers cry thee down,
Reply not: fly, and show the rogues thy stern;
hey are not worthy even of a frown:
Good taste or breeding they can never learn;
Or let them clamour, turn a callous ear,
As though in dread of some harsh donkey's bray.
If chid by censor, friendly though severe,
To such explain and turn thee not away.
Thy vein, says he perchance, is all too free;
Thy smutty language suits not learned pen:
Reply, Good Sir, throughout, the context see;
Thought chastens thought; so prithee judge again.
Besides, although my master's pen may wander
Through devious paths, by which it ought not stray,
His life is pure, beyond the breath of slander:
So pardon grant; 'tis merely but his way.
Some rugged ruffian makes a hideous rout--
Brandish thy cudgel, threaten him to baste;
The filthy fungus far from thee cast out;
Such noxious banquets never suit my taste.
Yet, calm and cautious moderate thy ire,
Be ever courteous should the case allow--
Sweet malt is ever made by gentle fire:
Warm to thy friends, give all a civil bow.
Even censure sometimes teaches to improve,
Slight frosts have often cured too rank a crop,
So, candid blame my spleen shall never move,
For skilful gard'ners wayward branches lop.
Go then, my book, and bear my words in mind;
Guides safe at once, and pleasant them you'll find.
THE ARGUMENT OF THE FRONTISPIECE.
Ten distinct Squares here seen apart,
Are joined in one by Cutter's art.
I.
Old Democritus under a tree,
Sits on a stone with book on knee;
About him hang there many features,
Of Cats, Dogs and such like creatures,
Of which he makes anatomy,
The seat of black choler to see.
Over his head appears the sky,
And Saturn Lord of melancholy.
II.
To the left a landscape of Jealousy,
Presents itself unto thine eye.
A Kingfisher, a Swan, an Hern,
Two fighting-cocks you may discern,
Two roaring Bulls each other hie,
To assault concerning venery.
Symbols are these; I say no more,
Conceive the rest by that's afore.
III.
The next of solitariness,
A portraiture doth well express,
By sleeping dog, cat: Buck and Doe,
Hares, Conies in the desert go:
Bats, Owls the shady bowers over,
In melancholy darkness hover.
Mark well: If't be not as't should be,
Blame the bad Cutter, and not me.
IV.
I'th' under column there doth stand
_Inamorato_ with folded hand;
Down hangs his head, terse and polite,
Some ditty sure he doth indite.
His lute and books about him lie,
As symptoms of his vanity.
If this do not enough disclose,
To paint him, take thyself by th' nose.
V.
_Hypocondriacus_ leans on his arm,
Wind in his side doth him much harm,
And troubles him full sore, God knows,
Much pain he hath and many woes.
About him pots and glasses lie,
Newly brought from's Apothecary.
This Saturn's aspects signify,
You see them portray'd in the sky.
VI.
Beneath them kneeling on his knee,
A superstitious man you see:
He fasts, prays, on his Idol fixt,
Tormented hope and fear betwixt:
For Hell perhaps he takes more pain,
Than thou dost Heaven itself to gain.
Alas poor soul, I pity thee,
What stars incline thee so to be?
VII. But see the madman rage downright
With furious looks, a ghastly sight.
Naked in chains bound doth he lie,
And roars amain he knows not why!
Observe him; for as in a glass,
Thine angry portraiture it was.
His picture keeps still in thy presence;
'Twixt him and thee, there's no difference.
VIII, IX.
_Borage_ and _Hellebor_ fill two scenes,
Sovereign plants to purge the veins
Of melancholy, and cheer the heart,
Of those black fumes which make it smart;
To clear the brain of misty fogs,
Which dull our senses, and Soul clogs.
The best medicine that e'er God made
For this malady, if well assay'd.
X.
Now last of all to fill a place,
Presented is the Author's face;
And in that habit which he wears,
His image to the world appears.
His mind no art can well express,
That by his writings you may guess.
It was not pride, nor yet vainglory,
(Though others do it commonly)
Made him do this: if you must know,
The Printer would needs have it so.
Then do not frown or scoff at it,
Deride not, or detract a whit.
For surely as thou dost by him,
He will do the same again.
Then look upon't, behold and see,
As thou lik'st it, so it likes thee.
And I for it will stand in view,
Thine to command, Reader, adieu.

The Printer would needs have it so.
Then do not frown or scoff at it,
Deride not, or detract a whit.
For surely as thou dost by him,
He will do the same again.
Then look upon't, behold and see,
As thou lik'st it, so it likes thee.
And I for it will stand in view,
Thine to command, Reader, adieu.

FROM MAMMAL TO MAMMON
© 2006 Mark Robert Gates
If mankind is supposed to evolve from one form to another, every millennium or so, we have not progressed far, we were mammals, living as Pagans, and since we have met God’s we are now the seed of mammon. And, still cannot serve any other master, except mammon, unless we meet a God’s on the road, one would think we would be born by now with Sunday school manners enough, to stick our heads out into the world and ask directions, to the baptismal.

TRUE: LOVE WILL FIND A WAY
© 2006 Mark Robert Gates
Backwards; for though I go,
Onward; I cannot slow,
Sideward; is a distant glow,
Upward; is the tidal tow,
Downward; a graviton pull,
Towards; all eternal toll,
Wayward; all in love is dull,
Paydirt: heaven lie’s a knoll.

EPISTLE III: Of The Nature and State of Man, With Respect to Society
From: Essay on Man by Alexander Pope (1734)
ARGUMENT
I. The whole Universe one system of Society. Nothing made wholly for itself, nor yet wholly for another. The happiness of Animals mutual. II. Reason or Instinct operate alike to the good of each Individual. Reason or Instinct operate also to Society, in all Animals. III. How far Society carried by Instinct. How much farther by Reason. IV. Of that which is called the State of Nature. Reason instructed by Instinct in the invention of Arts, and in the Forms of Society. V. Origin of Political Societies. Origin of Monarchy. atriarchal Government. VI. Origin of true Religion and Government, from the same principle, of Love. Origin of Superstition and Tyranny, from the same principle, of Fear. The Influence of Self-love operating to the social and public Good. Restoration of true Religion and Government on their first principle. Mixed Government.Various forms of each, and the true end of all.
I.
Here, then, we rest: "The Universal Cause
Acts to one end, but acts by various laws.
"In all the madness of superfluous health,
The trim of pride, the impudence of wealth,
Let this great truth be present night and day;
But most be present, if we preach or pray.
Look round our world; behold the chain of love
Combining all below and all above.
See plastic Nature working to this end,
The single atoms each to other tend,
Attract, attracted to, the next in place
Formed and impelled its neighbour to embrace.
See matter next, with various life endued,
Press to one centre still, the general good.
See dying vegetables life sustain,
See life dissolving vegetate again:
All forms that perish other forms supply
(By turns we catch the vital breath, and die),
Like bubbles on the sea of matter borne,
They rise, they break, and to that sea return.
Nothing is foreign: parts relate to whole;
One all-extending, all-preserving soul
Connects each being, greatest with the least;
Made beast in aid of man, and man of beast;
All served, all serving: nothing stands alone;
The chain holds on, and where it ends, unknown.
Has God, thou fool! worked solely for thy Thy good,
Thy joy, thy pastime, thy attire, thy food?
Who for thy table feeds the wanton fawn,
For him as kindly spread the flowery lawn:
Is it for thee the lark ascends and sings?
Joy tunes his voice, joy elevates his wings.
Is it for thee the linnet pours his throat?
Loves of his own and raptures swell the note.
The bounding steed you pompously bestride,
Shares with his lord the pleasure and the pride.
Is thine alone the seed that strews the plain?
The birds of heaven shall vindicate their grain.
Thine the full harvest of the golden year?
Part pays, and justly, the deserving steer:
The hog, that ploughs not nor obeys thy call,
Lives on the labours of this lord of all.
Know, Nature's children all divide her care;
The fur that warms a monarch, warmed a bear.
While man exclaims, "See all things for my use!"
"See man for mine!" replies a pampered goose:
And just as short of reason he must fall,
Who thinks all made for one, not one for all.
Grant that the powerful still the weak control;
Be man the wit and tyrant of the whole:
Nature that tyrant checks; he only knows,
And helps, another creature's wants and woes.
Say, will the falcon, stooping from above,
Smit with her varying plumage, spare the dove?
Admires the jay the insect's gilded wings?
Or hears the hawk when Philomela sings?
Man cares for all: to birds he gives his woods,
To beasts his pastures, and to fish his floods;
For some his interest prompts him to provide,
For more his pleasure, yet for more his pride:
All feed on one vain patron, and enjoy
The extensive blessing of his luxury.
That very life his learned hunger craves,
He saves from famine, from the savage saves;
Nay, feasts the animal he dooms his feast,
And, till he ends the being, makes it blest;
Which sees no more the stroke, or feels the pain,
Than favoured man by touch ethereal slain.
The creature had his feast of life before;
Thou too must perish when thy feast is o'er!
To each unthinking being, Heaven, a friend,
Gives not the useless knowledge of its end:
To man imparts it; but with such a view
As, while he dreads it, makes him hope it too;
The hour concealed, and so remote the fear,
Death still draws nearer, never seeming near.
Great standing miracle! that Heaven assigned
Its only thinking thing this turn of mind.
II.
Whether with reason, or with instinct blest,
Know, all enjoy that power which suits them best;
To bliss alike by that direction tend,
And find the means proportioned to their end.
Say, where full instinct is the unerring guide,
What pope or council can they need beside?
Reason, however able, cool at best,
Cares not for service, or but serves when pressed,
Stays till we call, and then not often near;
But honest instinct comes a volunteer,
Sure never to o'er-shoot, but just to hit;
While still too wide or short is human wit;
Sure by quick nature happiness to gain,
Which heavier reason labours at in vain,
This too serves always, reason never long;
One must go right, the other may go wrong.
See then the acting and comparing powers
One in their nature, which are two in ours;
And reason raise o'er instinct as you can,
In this 'tis God directs, in that 'tis man.
Who taught the nations of the field and wood
To shun their poison, and to choose their food?
Prescient, the tides or tempests to withstand,
Build on the wave, or arch beneath the sand?
Who made the spider parallels design,
Sure as Demoivre, without rule or line?
Who did the stork, Columbus-like, explore
Heavens not his own, and worlds unknown before?
Who calls the council, states the certain day,
Who forms the phalanx, and who points the way?
III.
God in the nature of each being founds
Its proper bliss, and sets its proper bounds:
But as He framed a whole, the whole to bless,
On mutual wants built mutual happiness:
So from the first, eternal order ran,
And creature linked to creature, man to man.
Whate'er of life all-quickening ether keeps,
Or breathes through air, or shoots beneath the deeps,
Or pours profuse on earth, one nature feeds
The vital flame, and swells the genial seeds.
Not man alone, but all that roam the wood,
Or wing the sky, or roll along the flood,
Each loves itself, but not itself alone,
Each sex desires alike, till two are one.
Nor ends the pleasure with the fierce embrace;
They love themselves, a third time, in their race.
Thus beast and bird their common charge attend,
The mothers nurse it, and the sires defend;
The young dismissed to wander earth or air,
There stops the instinct, and there ends the care;
The link dissolves, each seeks a fresh embrace,
Another love succeeds, another race.
A longer care man's helpless kind demands;
That longer care contracts more lasting bands:
Reflection, reason, still the ties improve,
At once extend the interest and the love;
With choice we fix, with sympathy we burn;
Each virtue in each passion takes its turn;
And still new needs, new helps, new habits rise.
That graft benevolence on charities.
Still as one brood, and as another rose,
These natural love maintained, habitual those.
The last, scarce ripened into perfect man,
Saw helpless him from whom their life began:
Memory and forecast just returns engage,
That pointed back to youth, this on to age;
While pleasure, gratitude, and hope combined,
Still spread the interest, and preserved the kind.
IV.
Nor think, in Nature's state they blindly trod;
The state of nature was the reign of God:
Self-love and social at her birth began,
Union the bond of all things, and of man.
Pride then was not; nor arts, that pride to aid;
Man walked with beast, joint tenant of the shade;
The same his table, and the same his bed;
No murder clothed him, and no murder fed.
In the same temple, the resounding wood,
All vocal beings hymned their equal God:
The shrine with gore unstained, with gold undressed,
Unbribed, unbloody, stood the blameless priest:
Heaven's attribute was universal care,
And man's prerogative to rule, but spare.
Ah! how unlike the man of times to come!
Of half that live the butcher and the tomb;
Who, foe to nature, hears the general groan,
Murders their species, and betrays his own.
But just disease to luxury succeeds,
And every death its own avenger breeds;
The fury-passions from that blood began,
And turned on man a fiercer savage, man.
See him from Nature rising slow to art!
To copy instinct then was reason's part;
Thus then to man the voice of Nature spake--
"Go, from the creatures thy instructions take:
Learn from the birds what food the thickets yield;
Learn from the beasts the physic of the field;
Thy arts of building from the bee receive;
Learn of the mole to plough, the worm to weave;
Learn of the little nautilus to sail,
Spread the thin oar, and catch the driving gale.
Here too all forms of social union find,
And hence let reason, late, instruct mankind:
Here subterranean works and cities see;
There towns aerial on the waving tree.
Learn each small people's genius, policies,
The ant's republic, and the realm of bees;
How those in common all their wealth bestow,
And anarchy without confusion know;
And these for ever, though a monarch reign,
Their separate cells and properties maintain.
Mark what unvaried laws preserve each state,
Laws wise as nature, and as fixed as fate.
In vain thy reason finer webs shall draw,
Entangle justice in her net of law,
And right, too rigid, harden into wrong;
Still for the strong too weak, the weak too strong.
Yet go! and thus o'er all the creatures sway,
Thus let the wiser make the rest obey;
And, for those arts mere instinct could afford,
Be crowned as monarchs, or as gods adored."
V.
Great Nature spoke; observant men obeyed;
Cities were built, societies were made:
Here rose one little state: another near
Grew by like means, and joined, through love or fear.
Did here the trees with ruddier burdens bend,
And there the streams in purer rills descend?
What war could ravish, commerce could bestow,
And he returned a friend, who came a foe.
Converse and love mankind might strongly draw,
When love was liberty, and Nature law.
Thus States were formed; the name of king unknown,
'Till common interest placed the sway in one.
'Twas virtue only (or in arts or arms,Diffusing blessings, or averting harms)
The same which in a sire the sons obeyed,
A prince the father of a people made.
VI.
Till then, by Nature crowned, each patriarch sate,
King, priest, and parent of his growing state;
On him, their second providence, they hung,
Their law his eye, their oracle his tongue.
He from the wondering furrow called the food,
Taught to command the fire, control the flood,
Draw forth the monsters of the abyss profound,
Or fetch the aerial eagle to the ground.
Till drooping, sickening, dying they began
Whom they revered as God to mourn as man:
Then, looking up, from sire to sire, explored
One great first Father, and that first adored.
Or plain tradition that this all begun,
Conveyed unbroken faith from sire to son;
The worker from the work distinct was known,
And simple reason never sought but one:
Ere wit oblique had broke that steady light,
Man, like his Maker, saw that all was right;
To virtue, in the paths of pleasure, trod,
And owned a Father when he owned a God.
Love all the faith, and all the allegiance then;
For Nature knew no right divine in men,
No ill could fear in God; and understood
A sovereign being but a sovereign good.
True faith, true policy, united ran,
This was but love of God, and this of man.
Who first taught souls enslaved, and realms undone,
The enormous faith of many made for one;
That proud exception to all Nature's laws,
To invert the world, and counter-work its cause?
Force first made conquest, and that conquest, law;
Till superstition taught the tyrant awe,
Then shared the tyranny, then lent it aid,
And gods of conquerors, slaves of subjects made:
She, 'midst the lightning's blaze, and thunder's sound,
When rocked the mountains, and when groaned the ground,
She taught the weak to bend, the proud to pray,
To power unseen, and mightier far than they:
She, from the rending earth and bursting skies,
Saw gods descend, and fiends infernal rise:
Here fixed the dreadful, there the blest abodes;
Fear made her devils, and weak hope her gods;
Gods partial, changeful, passionate, unjust,
Whose attributes were rage, revenge, or lust;
Such as the souls of cowards might conceive,
And, formed like tyrants, tyrants would believe.
Zeal then, not charity, became the guide;
And hell was built on spite, and heaven on pride,
Then sacred seemed the ethereal vault no more;
Altars grew marble then, and reeked with gore;
Then first the flamen tasted living food;
Next his grim idol smeared with human blood;
With heaven's own thunders shook the world below,
And played the god an engine on his foe.
So drives self-love, through just and through unjust,
To one man's power, ambition, lucre, lust:
The same self-love, in all, becomes the cause
Of what restrains him, government and laws.
For, what one likes if others like as well,
What serves one will when many wills rebel?
How shall he keep, what, sleeping or awake,
A weaker may surprise, a stronger take?
His safety must his liberty restrain:
All join to guard what each desires to gain.
Forced into virtue thus by self-defence,
Even kings learned justice and benevolence:
Self-love forsook the path it first pursued,
And found the private in the public good.
'Twas then, the studious head or generous mind,
Follower of God, or friend of human-kind,
Poet or patriot, rose but to restore
The faith and moral Nature gave before;
Re-lumed her ancient light, not kindled new;
If not God's image, yet His shadow drew:
Taught power's due use to people and to kings,
Taught nor to slack, nor strain its tender strings,
The less, or greater, set so justly true,
That touching one must strike the other too;
Till jarring interests, of themselves create
The according music of a well-mixed state.
Such is the world's great harmony, that springs
From order, union, full consent of things:
Where small and great, where weak and mighty, made
To serve, not suffer, strengthen, not invade;
More powerful each as needful to the rest,
And, in proportion as it blesses, blest;
Draw to one point, and to one centre bring
Beast, man, or angel, servant, lord, or king.
For forms of government let fools contest;
Whate'er is best administered is best:
For modes of faith let graceless zealots fight;
His can't be wrong whose life is in the right:
In faith and hope the world will disagree,
But all mankind's concern is charity:
All must be false that thwart this one great end;
And all of God, that bless mankind or mend.
Man, like the generous vine, supported lives;
The strength he gains is from the embrace he gives.
On their own axis as the planets run,
Yet make at once their circle round the sun;
So two consistent motions act the soul;
And one regards itself, and one the whole.
Thus God and Nature linked the general frame,
And bade self-love and social be the same.

And played the god an engine on his foe.
So drives self-love, through just and through unjust,
To one man's power, ambition, lucre, lust:
The same self-love, in all, becomes the cause
Of what restrains him, government and laws.
For, what one likes if others like as well,
What serves one will when many wills rebel?
How shall he keep, what, sleeping or awake,
A weaker may surprise, a stronger take?
His safety must his liberty restrain:
All join to guard what each desires to gain.
Forced into virtue thus by self-defence,
Even kings learned justice and benevolence:
Self-love forsook the path it first pursued,
And found the private in the public good.
'Twas then, the studious head or generous mind,
Follower of God, or friend of human-kind,
Poet or patriot, rose but to restore
The faith and moral Nature gave before;
Re-lumed her ancient light, not kindled new;
If not God's image, yet His shadow drew:
Taught power's due use to people and to kings,
Taught nor to slack, nor strain its tender strings,
The less, or greater, set so justly true,
That touching one must strike the other too;
Till jarring interests, of themselves create
The according music of a well-mixed state.
Such is the world's great harmony, that springs
From order, union, full consent of things:
Where small and great, where weak and mighty, made
To serve, not suffer, strengthen, not invade;
More powerful each as needful to the rest,
And, in proportion as it blesses, blest;
Draw to one point, and to one centre bring
Beast, man, or angel, servant, lord, or king.
For forms of government let fools contest;
Whate'er is best administered is best:
For modes of faith let graceless zealots fight;
His can't be wrong whose life is in the right:
In faith and hope the world will disagree,
But all mankind's concern is charity:
All must be false that thwart this one great end;
And all of God, that bless mankind or mend.
Man, like the generous vine, supported lives;
The strength he gains is from the embrace he gives.
On their own axis as the planets run,
Yet make at once their circle round the sun;
So two consistent motions act the soul;
And one regards itself, and one the whole.
Thus God and Nature linked the general frame,
And bade self-love and social be the same.

VARIATIONS ON A THEME OF MACHIAVELLI
Remember, all of the, Machiavellian, pseudo-Christian, lame duck, right-wing conspiracy, Republicans, of who, rose to power on what we now have plenty of evidence is a pack of lies, also, still are in power, in most of our so called, free press media outets. Those who did, or would not lie, like Bush' company, were forced out as, left-wing, pro-democracy, anti-American liberties and rights, liberal's, code named: Democrats. We must Reclaim our free American press, from a pathologically lying, Machiavellian, pseudo-political, pseudo-ideological and pseudo-theologian, overtaken' bastian of our American history.
We are going to be besieged by stories, claiming total loss, whenever, one part of a politics by, Nancy Pelosi, simply Democratically resolves in a manner, construent with real our' pro-American pro-Democracy value: we are our American government. Those whose lie's are, "Why, Christ let us kill Himself, to give us, opposition forces, against a real pro-American pro-Democracy, comprised of a free citizenry." Will claim failure whenever the result of politic's is not a heinous crime, and just an exercise of free liberties, and rights.
Remember these Machiavellian, pseudo-Christian, lame duck, right-wing conspiracy, Republicans have been all caught with their pants down, one lie resulting in a complete failure of all, "All of Bush'." American Domestic and Foriegn Policy, is not something these people are still, as of yet, willing to admit is an expose' of all, Machiavellian, pseudo-Christian, lame duck, right-wing conspiracy, Republican and Bush', foriegn and domestic policy. Let's just give Nancy Pelosi, our continued pro-American, pro-Democractic values, support and encouragement in her new office, and, let us go after all the inane, Machiavellian, pseudo-Christian, lame duck, right-wing conspiracy, Republicans infesting our free American press.
Happythanksgiving, Machiavelli, now, I will have to read your book too, as I am certain it does not say, ""The End." jusitfies "Any" Means, at all.""

PRO-AMERICAN PRO-FREE AMERICAN ENTERPRISE PRO-NET REVOLUTIONARY TO THE RESCUE
When time come's, and all of our expected technology upgrades are in place, such as, our much anticipated change's to fiber optics, upwards of 1 Terabyte Internet transport capabilities, via ground and a satellite Internet and HDTV network capable signal, in one combined source, broadcasting from a string of specially designed=for capable satellites, upwards of 1gig networking already exists, and HDTV capable video, and Internet from a single Internet connection. Why double up? A quantum leap to combining all home entertainment and xomputer into a single-modular-package (SMP), as we are duplicating services and technologies, and vastly bog down and make unamassable most of our entire entertainment set packages, we will then see Internet Hyperfeeds, in our technological revolution, like none we have ever seen before, and hyperspeed technology capabilities will be expensive.
When this occurs there may be many people, including myself, of whom, will be either unable to afford, or happy to go on using one's now existing Internet speeds and capabilities at a price near that of what one already pays. It makes a whole lot of sense, like with cable and satellite, television, where one does not have to purchase all of the available channels and services, and Internet, where in one can still choose 56k dial-up, or when purchasing high-speed cable/DSL Internet services one does not have to buy only the highest speed package available. When we get to where we see all of the technology changes coming down the line, we will be happy not to have to pay for only the best available Internet and entertainment packages, and ecstatic over being able to continue using what we have now, at the same, or near to the same cost, inflation and steady upgrades you know, and not having to be able to afford only the highest Internet speeds available, at all time's.
Now, does this blasphemy of a term like NetNuetrallity, make one see why us Democrats, get called communists, and anti-free American's enterprise.

DIVINITY' OF, AND, DOCTRINITY' OF GOD'S OF OUR' BIBLE'S THEOLOGY'
© 2006, God’s, Christ’s and our’ Holy Spirit’s, as attributed by, Mark Robert Gates
Apparently, Communism’s, social status dictators, have discovered if a person claims to be, Christian, no one actually question’s whether or not the person is actually a follower’ and believer’ in the God’s of our’ Bible’s. I have found politically motivated communists with anti-American, anti-Democracy and anti-capitalist agenda’s who actually say, “yes.” When asked if they are Christian, who when asked, instead, “Are you a follower’ and believer' in the God’s of the Bible’s?” Are forced to admit, “No.” Which is why we, who are followers’ and believer’s in our’ God’s of our’ Bible’s, and following Christ’s Commandment’s, learned through complete studies of His Immaculate Word’s, call ourselves follower’s and believer’s, in the first place. The word “Christian” was after all, an insulting term created by people of Rome, to put down those who they found it necessary to murder. Why it was ever picked up by anyone professing to actually be of Christ’s Churche’ is beyond comprehension.
So now, we need to go forward, asking each other, “Are one’s belief’s those of a follower’ and believer’ in the God’s of our’ Bible’s?”Also, a Churche’, as described by Jesus is our body of follower’s and believer’s built upon a foundation’, and one of which is built on a rock’, Jesus, called, “Peter’.” As a body of follower’s and believer’s it is required we follow all of Christ’s Commandment’s, if we love Him, moreover, any who do not follow’ and believe’ any one’ of Christ’s Teaching’s, cannot be allowed to continue to claim they have love for Christ’s. Once, I sat, looking at a bible’s I believed to be a gift from my God Parents, and however, was only given me as a consultation prize, by my parents, for deciding to take my God Mother away, out of spite of her love for myself, and my undying love for her. I decided more than once, I would read this Bible’s and then put it on a shelf, like all other books I read, and it would then be a book I had read.
Then, one day, around thirty years old, I looked carefully at that phony dedication, written in this Bible’s and discovered, much to my dismay, this was my mother’s own hand writing, not my God Mother’s, as I had always believed. I threw this blasphemed copy of our Bible’s to the ground so hard it broke the binding on its back, forever, setting me free. If my own mother could tell such a lie, it could not be, for Christ’s sake. And, although she is one of the most moral persons I know, she, however, did not follow’ and believe’ Christ’s Commandment’s, she used Jesus as a cover for her sins, of today, and not any of which are supposed to have been forgiven of her yesterday.
This, is how we tell if one is a follower’ and believer’ in God’s of our’ Bible’s. Those who are do not follow’ and believe’ God’s grace’s through the resurrection’ of Christ’s, exist’ to forgive’ all of tomorrow’s sins, moreover, once we walk’ in our God’s of our Bible’s good grace’s, we are not any longer to continue’ to walk in sin’s. And, if one' sins at all, one' does not follow’ and believe', one’ has a life’ save’d by faith’ in God’s and Christ’s eternal grace’s, and if one' follow's and believe's, then one' read's, and if one' doe's not read', then one' doe's not follow' and believe', and if one' doe's not take' time' necessary' to find' out' what' are', all of, Christ’s Commandment’s to =follow’s and believe’s them all, then one’ does not have any love for that of which is Christ’s, His’ Love’, His’ Grace’, and His’ Word’s.
When, I finally first followed’ and believed’, in God’s of our’ Bible’s Word’s, I could not then put down His’ Good’ Book’s, in fact I went through a phase were I was so hungry for Scripture’s and its understanding’s, I did not read anything of which was not a Bible’s, and theological’, or biblical’ literature’s. A “Christian” counselor once felt such a concern for my love’ and following’ and belief’ for Christ’s portray=d’ by my devotion’s to His Word’s, this counselor prescribed, reading a secular and fictional novel. This, I did not do, in fact I perused quite an opposite’s, I enrolled’ in Bible’s school’, at Taylor University, Fort Wayne, Indiana, and placed myself’ in, Old Testament Survey’, New Testament Survey’, Pauline Epistle’s and Systematic Theology’ course’s. And, where it was rumored a teacher, was harder than another, I alway’s deliberately’ took a harder teacher.
In fact a teacher’ considered’ too hard’, by many softies’, taught three of those course’s, Old Testament Survey’, Pauline Epistle’s and Systematic Theology’, and what some students did not like about, Dr. Wes Gehrig, is his insistence’ on making’ a person’ think’. I admit it was a struggle’, a lot like any other learning’ process’, and there were times I’ wished’ it could be’ avoided’, however, my ability’ to know’ our God’s of our’ Bible’s Theology’ well enough to think on my feet’, is now an immensely welcomed gift’s. Here, no pain, no gain, is vastly understated, when studie’s are being made’ of our God’s of our’ Bible’s Scripture’s and Christ’s Teaching’ and Commandment’s, there are no short cut’s, to acknowledgement’ of Divine’ Knowledge’ by acceptance’s, of It’, through allowing It’ to become Alive’ inside’ of one’s self’, as there lie’s Christ’s, so there shall eternally lie His’ Word’s. I can now, after being Taught’ by Christ’s to at times, put down a Bible’s and learn’ to rely’ on It’s One’s, Written’ in my mind’ and my heart’, do devotion’s anywhere’ and at anytime’, without having to open a God’s of our’ Bible’s Book’s, or having to have One’s, present to read’.
We’, all need to acknowledge’ these Commandment’s by their knowledge’ and allow’ them, then, to live’ inside’ of us’, then we’ can go forth a strong’ and invincible’ body’ of Christ’s Churche’, moreover we’ have a need to abandon’ all man’ made’ structure’s man’ has erroneously’ called a church, and once again live’ free of such artificially’ created man-made’ boundarie’s. Inside these building’s men’ called churches, only people’ who meet’ to go to church’, and are not a part’ of Christ’s body’ of follower’s and believer’s; Churche’, collect’ there. I once tried to see if any could point out the world’s, Christ’s Told’ us’ to come out of, and when they could not, had to actually point out, this is because they are the world’s.
The world’s has taken to hiding in these building’s they called churches to escape’ all scrutiny’ of mankind’. Why, are these people known to my=self to be of the world’s, and not Christ’s body of follower’s and believer’s Churche’? These people’ all believe’ they do not sin’, and in fact never have sinned’, and only say they do or did, because tract’s they pass out say one’ must in order to claim’ to be save’d. And, these people do not welcome any who’ actually’ do what they’ consider’ sin’, into their building’s, saying a church’ is no place for sinner’s.
So, obviously’ these “Christian” people’ do not believe’ a Word’ of God’s of our’ Bible’s Word’s, as, they call any they make sinner’s, be wannabe’s, instead. We both call then wannabe’s for the same reason, they are people who have been made to believe they cannot be a part of God’s of our’ Bible’s Churche’ as they have sinned. Unfortunately, instead of studies’ of God’s of our’ Bible’s Word’s many posses’ instead’, these “Christian” going to church’ folk’s man-made’ rule’s impossible’ to keep’. These man-made’ rule’s impossible’ to keep’, are used, to stop’ any’ from being a part’ of our’ God’s of our’ Bible’s Churche’ out of shame’, I remember a time I knew only these rule’s and used them for just such a purpose, to render any who I met, incapable of being a part’ of God’s of our’ Bible’s Churche’.
We now must give up these man-made’ structure’s to the world’s who inside them now pollute’, and find a way to returning to be what a body’ of Christ’s follower’s and believer’s Churche’ is designed to be, a body’ of follower’s and believer’s built’ upon a rock’ Christ’s called, “Peter’,” and, are now’ our’ God’s of our’ Bible’s Christ’s Churche’, at all time’s anywhere’ and everywhere’, without fail’. And, Christ’s Word’s leave’s us’ a Guide’ Book’ for determining’ if a person’s is’ actually a follower’ and believer’ in our’ God’s of our’ Bible’s, and a body’ amongst’ His’ Body’. The letter’s given us’ by Paul’, are’ our’ Guide’ Book’, and tell us’ if any’ who are follower’s and believer’s and of our’ God’s of our’ Bible’s Christ’s Churche’ break’ these rule’s they’ are to be remove’d, in the understanding’ they may be helped to truly follow’ and believe’, and then repent’ and return’. This is done out of love’, and to ensure’, none mistake’ God’s of our’ Bible’s grace’s, for existing’ to forgive’ future’ sins.
To follow’ and believe’ Christ’s Commandment’s, we’ must first understand’, Christ’s, as did Paul’s, alway’s teach’ only of our’ personal’ responsibility’ exclusively’. Christ’s Taught’ of a straight’ and narrow’ path’ to a far away tiny’ gates’ beyond’ which lie’s God’s Kingdom’, one’ must search’ first for His’ Kingdom’, down this path’, and then all one’ need’s if one’ follow’s and believe’s the true path’, will be added’, and one’ must find this path’ and begin’ following’ and believing’ It’s and then become’ as a newborn’ child’s of Christ’s, and begin again, in order to be bornagain’. There is no overnight’ bornagain’, if one’ was never only seven years old, as a bornagain’ child’ of Christ’s, then one’ was never bornagain’.
And, Paul’s taught of a war’ inside himself’ he’ lost’ to himself’ over good’ and evil’, and blame’s this loss’ on himself’ not some devil’, and once we’ know’ God’s of our’ Bible’s grace’s we’ are not to continue’ in sin, as did Christ’s Teach’. As, we’ all can clearly’ see’, the modern “Christianity” blasphemy, “It is impossible to completely stop sinning,” is not only a blasphemy, it is a complete denial of Christ’s Commandment’s, and Teaching’s, and not of anyone’s theology’ who is a follower’ and believer’ of God’s of our’ Bible’s Word’s.
Jesus, said, “MY’ Yoke’ is easy’.” Why, would He say this if stopping sin out of our’ love’ for Him’ and continually following’ and believing’ His’ Commandment’s is so impossible’, and then also say we’ are to do so if we’ love’ Him’? Christ’s Himself’ cannot blaspheme’, Himself’. God’s of our’ Bible’s Christ’s is always’ there knocking’, seeking’ and asking’, all one’ has to do is accept’, however, if one’ accept’s, then please understand’, eternity’, is a very’, long’, long’, long’, long’, long’, long’ time’, and eternity’ is what’ He’ Is’ preparing’ us’ for’, and eternity’ with Him’ is what’ He’ Is’ preparing’ for any’ of us’, who accept’.
There is no happening of which will occure in two week's or two month's time', and then' there will' be nothing' left to do'. Forever', we all have just now begun, and eternal life's end' occured' when our' God's of our' Bible's ressurrected' Christ's, in order' to give' us' His eternal' grace's.
Take’ up’ His’ Yoke’s and go’ in ‘Peace’s.

And, Paul’s taught of a war’ inside himself’ he’ lost’ to himself’ over good’ and evil’, and blame’s this loss’ on himself’ not some devil’, and once we’ know’ God’s of our’ Bible’s grace’s we’ are not to continue’ in sin, as did Christ’s Teach’. As, we’ all can clearly’ see’, the modern “Christianity” blasphemy, “It is impossible to completely stop sinning,” is not only a blasphemy, it is a complete denial of Christ’s Commandment’s, and Teaching’s, and not of anyone’s theology’ who is a follower’ and believer’ of God’s of our’ Bible’s Word’s.
Jesus, said, “MY’ Yoke’ is easy’.” Why, would He say this if stopping sin out of our’ love’ for Him’ and continually following’ and believing’ His’ Commandment’s is so impossible’, and then also say we’ are to do so if we’ love’ Him’? Christ’s Himself’ cannot blaspheme’, Himself’. God’s of our’ Bible’s Christ’s is always’ there knocking’, seeking’ and asking’, all one’ has to do is accept’, however, if one’ accept’s, then please understand’, eternity’, is a very’, long’, long’, long’, long’, long’, long’ time’, and eternity’ is what’ He’ Is’ preparing’ us’ for’, and eternity’ with Him’ is what’ He’ Is’ preparing’ for any’ of us’, who accept’.
There is no happening of which will occure in two week's or two month's time', and then' there will' be nothing' left to do'. Forever', we all have just now begun, and eternal life's end' occured' when our' God's of our' Bible's ressurrected' Christ's, in order' to give' us' His eternal' grace's.
Take’ up’ His’ Yoke’s and go’ in ‘Peace’s.

OH, HOLY KNIGHT, NOT AS DIVINE AS OUR GOD'S RIGHT'S
As I pointed out to Arianna Huffington, after a weekend post, what pseudo-Christian people do, often ends up being mistaken, by those unfamilair with legitimate biblical theology, of the God's of the bible's, to be what actually is to be consdered following teaching's of Christ's. In fact, historically, Christ always, ends false teaching's in contradiction to His actual Teaching's. To teach something, of which, contradicts any teaching of Christ's, and to then, teach this contradiction, to actually be a teaching of Christ's, is blasphemy against His Holy Spirit. Our, Holy Spirit, is given as our helper, and anything of which hinders God's Holy Spirit, is unforgivable.
To teach, men and women are not supposed to be physically and sexually attracted, to each other, and men and women are not given in marriage, any longer, is to blaspheme, God's Holy Spirit.
To teach, this physical and sexual attraction and its resulting sexual love, along with all other unconditional and spiritual love, do not make a resulting marriage, a holy union, is to blaspheme God's Holy Spirit.
My own position on gay partnering is based on my own experience with gay women who I have witnessed, almost physically attacking people, over any self-perceived interference with their desire to somehow have a gay relationship with heterosexual women. Other than this, inhumanity, just as bad as any other domeistic violence, I see no reason for anyone to further fuel fires, and try laws to forbid, gay partnering, with a legal marriage document if marriage is how gays view or choose to call their relationship. In fact, we may see a real reduction in divorce rates, if gay men and women no longer drive heterosexual men and women nuts, trying to be married to us.
Pseudo-Christians, believe God's provides His grace and protection toward forgiveness for all their future sins. And, claim gays cannot be pseudo-Christian, and therefore cannot be forgiven for their future sins. Do not join pseudo-Chirstian hypocrites in their bitterness, and leave their judgement to God.

NASA: WE HAVE COGNITION
Noah, when God first approached him, first determines it is actually his God's he is speaking with, and then has a conversation. Then he does an amazing thing, he spends hundreds of years building a boat. I would hope to always have that kind of trust.
Abraham, also, determines he is speaking to God, and then takes his entire family and goes where God's leads him, this also, is also a huge amount of trust, I will always hope to have, when necessary.
So, I always tell people who claim to be obedient, unless you can show me your ark, or your family, as numerous as stars, then I do not want to hear about your' being obedient.
Also, if a person is born again, a way's given by Christ's, find the straight narrow path to a far away tiny gate's, beyond which lies God's kingdom, and then become as a little child and start over again, only then can one be, "Born Again." And, if a person has never been seven years old, then one has never been born again. There is no overnight born again.
Also, if one wants to claim following Christ's Commandment's, and so to claim to love Christ, one must have studies of an entire bible's, or one cannot claim to know what Christ's commandments are, to follow, moreover, If one does not read, one does not believe, and , if one does anything of which shows one to not be following any Commandment's of Christ, then one is not to continue to claim to love Christ.
This is all a sad affair, as both Bush cretins are still proving on live television there is no love for Christ in either. The elder Bush' cretin, is constantly requiring ex-persident Clinton to placidly demonstrate, hopelessly albeit, exactly what is, real humility and humbleness. So, Bush' is dead, in the water as a more moral figure, and if one's boat is upside down, one can either swim out from under it, or one can wait there, forever, for God to right the boat.
Ok, this may sound asinine, and stupid, however, after the downfall of the Republican revolution of which rose to power on a more moral values stance, and fell from, power, after being found to be, actually, quite a lot of an opposite. So, therefore, next fool, who takes a political position of a moral values superiority, qualifies for our new Democratic reform party, public euthansia program. Everyone, should have seen clear through it all, these lame duck pseudo-Christian Republicans believed, pseudo-Christians were absolved of any responsibility or guilt for all of their future sins, and as such, anyone who was not a qualified Republican pseudo-Christian required being strung up and executed.
Also, more moral values, have now been clearly defined: "A basis for applying whatever force one needs to stop any practice of another's, one does not approve of." All anyone ever wants good for, is to use it as a cover, to commit a crime against another human being, ask, Jesus. And, we now add this to this 21st centuries' definiton of sin: "Something a person believes is wrong for another person to do." And, then we can return to defining crime as: "Something a community has decided, creates a victim."
Now, we clearly see, invoking a more moral clause is a mere attempt to smote one's victim's, across his cheek's. And, turning the other cheek' is supposed to be something one has to do, in compliance with following the Commandment's of Christ's, of which, He said we would do:"If we love Him." Not, something one has to be constantly doing for another member of Christ's church, in a relfex against what other's supposedly, also, in the God's of the bible's, Chirst's church, do when trying to, beclaim, a more moral high ground. It is final, in America at least, the moral high ground, is offically only a myth.
God is transparent, so one can see right through Him.
Also, claiming any part of a cognitive science, is theology, or any part of theology, is a cognitive science, is a blasphemy to both. A cognitive science, is based on vaild cognitive scientific observation, research, discourse, and debate acomplished in an cogent, intelligent, intellectual and reasoned process, and calling this process theological, is a blasphemy of higher education and cognitive science's labor. A theology is a belief system based on faith, and an understanding of theological texts, and claiming the theology of ones faith and belief's come from exercise of a cognitive science is a blasphemy to all theology'.
Now, do not get me wrong, it is possible for my theology to aid my cognitive science, in developing a faith in my ability and need to succeed in furthing any cognitive scientific hypothesis, theory, concept or law. Also, it is possible for a cognitive science, to increase my faith, by substantiating my awe at a complex universe, seemingly so organized, as to be beyond explaination by any natural means. A sad, fact, of existence in this 21st Century's, is, the unmitigated gall, of all the many people who try to break into serious scientific discussion and debate, with what can only be described to be: a result of mindless, meaningless speculation's.
Aristotle, and Socrates, both, contributed to a basis of learned, only, discourse, when instead of using mindless, meaningless speculation, discussions centered around valid scientific observations. Even today, and throughout history, from at least 400 BC, this knowledge is a still valid cognitive science. Higher learning requires, such observations, be used to form a hypothesis, from which, a path of further valid scientific observations, research, discourse, debate and intelligent, intellectual and reasoned cognitive sciences, are applied as a person attempts to find a proof.
And yet, we have a group of people who will actually bear creedence with, Richard Dawkin's, meaningless and mindless only speculations. How, one can write an entire book, if you have seen Dawkin's book on television, you know it is quite a lot of a: book, he has there. All, about his meaningless, mindless speculation's, I do not know of, and claiming not having made an observation is valid information in a cognitive science. "I have observed there is no God" leads to my mind wondering, how? When, I am not sure one can even attempt to observe a spirit when all of our cognitive science's instruments are still, as of yet, incapable of measuring one. Not to mention, complicating a fact, one will first have to come up with a quantifiable method of measurement, is a fact of, one is still first going' to have to discover, "A quantity of what?"
Yet, people actually refer to this book, which is a blasphemy of cognitve science, as if it is a learned, intelligent and cogent rhetorical discourse. We all must be more carefull who we listen to, and who we read, from now on. After, a Bush' is alway's a cretin's, like father' like son', irresponsible teen-agers, without help, do not grow up to be responsible' adults, nightmare of a 6 years', we need to work only from credentialed cognitve observation's, and can no longer tolerate any more mere speculators'

PLEASE HELP US AID IN PARADIGM SHIFTING OF SCAM ADVERTISERS
An unfortunate side-affect of an Internet industry, in which, a click on, advertising scheme, of only scams and frauds, was first used, is an unwillingness by all us users of Internet sites and services, to actually even, ever attempt to click on any adds at all, after first discovering, back at the beginning, all...yes all, adds for clicking on...used on any Internet sites, or services, were not only fraudulent, none were not scams.
We were all warned, of this, yet most of us still had to actually discover this fact for ourselves. As a result, all of us who become serious Internet users, develope, an aversion to clicking on Internet advertisements. This is a problem, causing most Internet industry people, attempting to make money off of Internet advertsing, to pull out their ever-beloved hair's. As, now, try as they might, there seems to be few approaches to getting all of us Internet users, to even, ever try clicking on ads again, since that first wonderful burning sensation, of our first moonlanding. As that is where we found ourselves, on some planet's moon, being required, to submit credit card information, in order, to get ourselves, back to: Earthbase Microsoft.
Really, I fell for it, the first time, "Shoot the duck,,,win a free DVD player!" I shot the ever-loven' duck, bagged him, first attempt, and then went to get my, "free" DVD player, only to find out I was supposed to give out a credit card number, for shipping costs, in order to receive my free DVD player. I of course did not attempt to give an obvious scammer my credit information. Actually, to be honest, I did not have a credit card when I first began using Internet services.
My point here, is, except for Google, of whom, has amassed a considerable fortune, with Internet advertising based on ads from actual Internet sites, and of which, began first, as ads, in Google search pages, by advertisers, selling items like those people are searching for, in the frist place, when searching for merchandise. Elsewhere, there is still yet, a wide-spread aversion to testing the waters', by jumping in and clicking on an Internet ad. This approach, where it is obvious this ad is from a merchandiser selling the goods, I searched for, and which, is obviously capable of delivering, my heart's desire's, is why I only use, Google AdSense, for, placement of advertising, on my blogs.
All of which, I point out, to ask, if anyone ever finds an ad posted on my blogs, that is either misleading or fraudulent, please email through the email button on my profile page, and report this advertiser. Google makes it possible to block unwanted advertisers, and I am a firm believer' in having only reputable ads, on my blogs. And, as my blogs often discuss, topics such as mental illness, there is a real importance of ensuring, no one is misled, defrauded, or taken advantage of, by any advertisers.

I NEVER saw that you did painting need
And therefore to your fair no painting set;

The barren tender of a poet's debt;
And therefore have I slept in your report,
That you yourself being extant well might show
How far a modern quill doth come too short,
Speaking of worth, what worth in you doth grow.
This silence for my sin you did impute,
Which shall be most my glory, being dumb;
For I impair not beauty being mute,
When others would give life and bring a tomb.
There lives more life in one of your fair eyes
Than both your poets can in praise devise.

Having It Out With Melancholy
by Jane Kenyon
If many remedies are prescribed for an illness,
you may be certain that the illness has no cure.
A. P. CHEKHOV The Cherry Orchard
1 FROM THE NURSERY
When I was born, you waited
behind a pile of linen in the nursery,
and when we were alone, you lay down
on top of me, pressing
the bile of desolation into every pore.
And from that day on
everything under the sun and moon
made me sad -- even the yellow
wooden beads that slid and spun
along a spindle on my crib.
You taught me to exist without gratitude.
You ruined my manners toward God:
"We're here simply to wait for death;
the pleasures of earth are overrated."
I only appeared to belong to my mother,
to live among blocks and cotton undershirts
with snaps; among red tin lunch boxes
and report cards in ugly brown slipcases.
I was already yours -- the anti-urge,
the mutilator of souls.
2 BOTTLES
Elavil, Ludiomil, Doxepin,
Norpramin, Prozac, Lithium, Xanax,
Wellbutrin, Parnate, Nardil, Zoloft.
The coated ones smell sweet or have
no smell; the powdery ones smell
like the chemistry lab at school
that made me hold my breath.
3 SUGGESTION FROM A FRIEND
You wouldn't be so depressed
if you really believed in God.
4 OFTEN
Often I go to bed as soon after dinner
as seems adult
(I mean I try to wait for dark)
in order to push away
from the massive pain in sleep's
frail wicker coracle.
5 ONCE THERE WAS LIGHT
Once, in my early thirties, I saw
that I was a speck of light in the great
river of light that undulates through time.
I was floating with the whole
human family. We were all colors -- those
who are living now, those who have died,
those who are not yet born. For a few
moments I floated, completely calm,
and I no longer hated having to exist.
Like a crow who smells hot blood
you came flying to pull me out
of the glowing stream.
"I'll hold you up. I never let my dear
ones drown!" After that, I wept for days.
6 IN AND OUT
The dog searches until he finds me
upstairs, lies down with a clatter
of elbows, puts his head on my foot.
Sometimes the sound of his breathing
saves my life -- in and out, in
and out; a pause, a long sigh. . . .
7 PARDON
A piece of burned meat
wears my clothes, speaks
in my voice, dispatches obligations
haltingly, or not at all.
It is tired of trying
to be stouthearted, tired
beyond measure.
We move on to the monoamine
oxidase inhibitors. Day and night
I feel as if I had drunk six cups
of coffee, but the pain stops
abruptly. With the wonder
and bitterness of someone pardoned
for a crime she did not commit
I come back to marriage and friends,
to pink fringed hollyhocks; come back
to my desk, books, and chair.
8 CREDO
Pharmaceutical wonders are at work
but I believe only in this moment
of well-being. Unholy ghost,
you are certain to come again.
Coarse, mean, you'll put your feet
on the coffee table, lean back,
and turn me into someone who can't
take the trouble to speak; someone
who can't sleep, or who does nothing
but sleep; can't read, or call
for an appointment for help.
There is nothing I can do
against your coming.
When I awake, I am still with thee.
9 WOOD THRUSH
High on Nardil and June light
I wake at four,
waiting greedily for the first
note of the wood thrush. Easeful air
presses through the screen
with the wild, complex song
of the bird, and I am overcome
by ordinary contentment.
What hurt me so terribly
all my life until this moment?
How I love the small, swiftly
beating heart of the bird
singing in the great maples;
its bright, unequivocal eye.

upstairs, lies down with a clatter
of elbows, puts his head on my foot.
Sometimes the sound of his breathing
saves my life -- in and out, in
and out; a pause, a long sigh. . . .
7 PARDON
A piece of burned meat
wears my clothes, speaks
in my voice, dispatches obligations
haltingly, or not at all.
It is tired of trying
to be stouthearted, tired
beyond measure.
We move on to the monoamine
oxidase inhibitors. Day and night
I feel as if I had drunk six cups
of coffee, but the pain stops
abruptly. With the wonder
and bitterness of someone pardoned
for a crime she did not commit
I come back to marriage and friends,
to pink fringed hollyhocks; come back
to my desk, books, and chair.
8 CREDO
Pharmaceutical wonders are at work
but I believe only in this moment
of well-being. Unholy ghost,
you are certain to come again.
Coarse, mean, you'll put your feet
on the coffee table, lean back,
and turn me into someone who can't
take the trouble to speak; someone
who can't sleep, or who does nothing
but sleep; can't read, or call
for an appointment for help.
There is nothing I can do
against your coming.
When I awake, I am still with thee.
9 WOOD THRUSH
High on Nardil and June light
I wake at four,
waiting greedily for the first
note of the wood thrush. Easeful air
presses through the screen
with the wild, complex song
of the bird, and I am overcome
by ordinary contentment.
What hurt me so terribly
all my life until this moment?
How I love the small, swiftly
beating heart of the bird
singing in the great maples;
its bright, unequivocal eye.

PREPARE THE MOCHASCOPE
What do we do now, when we want a book on self-help? We go on down to Borders, and stand in the self-help section, and try to decide which one book is going to affect a miracle cure. Of hundreds of thousands of titles, we believe there is one book, of which, we will use to turn our tide and make us mighty. After starring at titles for a while, we give up and head on over to the coffee shop, and order for ourself'; a triple mocha. As, we sit starring into our mochascope, we begin to wonder if we are beyond help.
Everyone says self-esteem is important, however, others say we need to be more positive to get ahead. As we sit tossing back and forth over which book to begin on, there seems to be no answer. Yet, if we really want to be as good as we can best be, there is a possibly, almost simple, answer. Read both books. One on self-esteem, and one on positive thinking. And, as long as we do not confuse one with the other, both may work together, to make a more powerful us. In fact, it just may be impossible, to change one without changing the other.
Though positive affirmations will help us think better of ourselves, and positive self-love can point us to positive success. Combining both positive thinking and higher self-worth, can be even more helpful for us, to paint in the numbers, and have our future become; one's now thornless rose. There are many ways to have both in proper proportion, to help give our ship a bow and a stern, and no matter what we think of ourselves, we will get nowhere, if we believe we have a bleak tomorrow.
I recommend, Feel the Fear and Do It Anyway, by Susan Jeffers, Ph.D., http://www.susanjeffers.com/, for a pathway to more positive thinking. With her help, we can almost psycho-surgically, remove negative thoughts from our mind. Then, for self-esteem, I recommend, The Six Pillars of Self-Esteem, by Nathaniel Branden, http://www.nathanielbranden.com/. His book will work to give us skills necessary, to love ourselve's, with an unconditional self-love. While together, both books, will be capable of cementing in us a more positive self-esteem, and point us into a positive future, we almost magically, will be more certain to enjoy.
For myself, positive thinking helped me to begin writing again, and led to being asked to take, Appreciative Inquiry Training, an organizational; positive thinking course. And, help plan a new future, for our local mental healthcare provider. Another course, also, developed to build on strengths already existing, and avoid focusing on our past problems. And, I am now invited to share my opinion, to help point ships, like a lighthouse, away from unseen beaches with jagged reefs.
Higher self-esteem, helped to create in myself an understanding of how much my opinions mattered. I began writing many articles and essays, moreover, many people began coming to me and telling of how much they had been affected by, many positive's, in my writing. Which led to even more people asking my opinion.
Most of us can be, in need of help; putting ourselves behind our ships wheel, and steering a course out of our past psychosocial fogs. I have benefited from both positive thought's, and a better view's of myself, in a way of which, neither could have done so by itself. I see clearly now, not only love for my past, in my present moment, also, pathways and open doors, into a future of happiness. There are fewer obstacles, since most of my hindrances were self-created, and what might lie ahead, a collection of phantasms I feared, more than this; I am happy to be me.

George W. Bush', Macarena: All Soldier's Live's Are Valueless And Pussyfoot'n To A Goosestep
Another, yet, and still as now's, political bureaucratic: blunder of a 21 century, cretin's, is: Geroge W. Bush's, somehow, as he appear's to have done, decision, there is something wrong with American law enforcment, and all existing, U.S. law enforcment, as is: unusable, as suits our people's purpose's. This: another, age's of reason, and historically unwelcomed, error, was to leave all existing law enforcement, as is, and create another new law enforcement's agencies', and not, as yet, do anything at all, in order, to repair, our, American law enforcement agencies, and our all time loser's, laughing stock of an entire world, intelligence communities.
An accurate assessment of all U.S. law enforement agencies, and our American intelligence communities, is necessary, as we go forward. There are things, happening in our world, today, of which, probably would not, if we had any legitmate law enforcement, capacity, and an intelligence gathering capability, as needed to accurately assess world question's, in today's often hostile, and inhospitable ideological, and political environment's. We now desperately have a serious necessity, of accurately determining what a majority of Iraq's people's want, for their own person's, and their own country'. We must no longer, attempt to foster and foist upon Iraq, our own goverment, in place of Iraqi, self-determined', leadership's.
Where is Casper Weinberger?
I am again reminded, Casper, was forced out, as was Collin Powell, for wanting to take a most directly available path, in time's of warfare. One of which, would, in as quick a time as possible, become, American victory's, without, doing our now famous version of the Macarena: All Soldier's Live's Are Valueless And Pussyfoot'n to a Goosestep.

THE DOCTRINE OF THE MEAN
"All who have the government of the kingdom with its states and families have nine standard rules to follow;-viz., the cultivation of their own characters; the honoring of men of virtue and talents; affection towards their relatives; respect towards the great ministers; kind and considerate treatment of the whole body of officers; dealing with the mass of the people as children; encouraging the resort of all classes of artisans; indulgent treatment of men from a distance; and the kindly cherishing of the princes of the states.
"In all things success depends on previous preparation, and without such previous preparation there is sure to be failure. If what is to be spoken be previously determined, there will be no stumbling. If affairs be previously determined, there will be no difficulty with them. If one's actions have been previously determined, there will be no sorrow in connection with them. If principles of conduct have been previously determined, the practice of them will be inexhaustible.

God's Love Is An: An Universal Language Known; by, All Of Who, Accept
An Autobiography or The Story of my Experiments with Truth
Comparative Study of Religions
by Mohandas K. Gandhi
The Gospels.....and the other books made a deep impression on me.
I began to realize more and more the infinite possibilities of universal love.
About the same time I came in contact with another Christian family.
At their suggestion I attended the Wesleyan church every Sunday.
For these days I also had their standing invitation to dinner.
The church did not make a favourable impression on me.
The sermons seemed to be uninspiring.
The congregation did not strike me as being particularly religious.
They were not an assembly of devout souls;
they appeared rather to be worldly-minded people,
going to church for recreation and in conformity to custom.
Here, at times, I would involuntarily doze. I was ashamed,
but some of my neighbours, who were in no better case,
lightened the shame.
I could not go on long like this,
and soon gave up attending the service.
My connection with the family I used to visit every Sunday was abruptly broken.
In fact it may be said that I was warned to visit it no more.
It happened thus. My hostess was a good and simple woman,
but somewhat narrow-minded.
We always discussed religious subjects.
I was then re-reading Arnold's Light of Asia.
Once we began to compare the life of Jesus with that of Buddha.
'Look at Gautama's compassion!' said I.
'It was not confined to mankind, it was extended to all living beings.
Does not one's heart overflow with love to think of
the lamb joyously perched on his shoulders?
One fails to notice this love for all living beings in the life of Jesus.'
The comparison pained the good lady.
I could understand her feelings.
I cut the matter short, and we went to the dining room.
Her son, a cherub aged scarcely five, was also with us.
I am happiest when in the midst of children,
and this youngster and I had long been friends.
I spoke derisively of the piece of meat on his plate
and in high praise of the apple on mine.
The innocent boy was carried away
and joined in my praise of the fruit.
But the mother? she was dismayed. I was warned.
I checked myself and changed the subject.
The following week I visited the family as usual,
but not without trepidation.
I did not see that I should stop going there,
I did not think it proper either.
But the good lady made my way easy.
'Mr. Gandhi,' she said, 'please don't take it ill if I feel obliged
to tell you that my boy is none the better for your company.
Every day he hesitates to eat meat and asks for fruit,
reminding me of your argument.
This is too much. If he gives up meat,
he is bound to get weak, if not ill.
How could I bear it?
Your discussion
should henceforth be only with us elders.
They are sure to react badly on children.'
'Mrs---,' I replied, 'I am sorry.
I can understand your feelings as a parent,
for I too have children.
We can very easily end this unpleasant state of things.
What I eat and omit to eat is bound to
have a greater effect on the child than what I say.
The best way, therefore, is for me to stop these visits.
That certainly need not affect our friendship.'
'I thank you,' she said with evident relief.
-Mohandas Gandhi

THE REPUBLIC
by Plato (360 B.C.)
Socrates:
And the different forms of government make laws democratical, aristocratical, tyrannical, with a view to their several interests; and these laws, which are made by them for their own interests, are the justice which they deliver to their subjects, and him who transgresses them they punish as a breaker of the law, and unjust. And that is what I mean when I say that in all states there is the same principle of justice, which is the interest of the government; and as the government must be supposed to have power, the only reasonable conclusion is, that everywhere there is one principle of justice, which is the interest of the stronger.
http://en.wikisource.org/wiki/The_Republic/Book_I
There can be no double standards in a civilized society. If one individual is to be treated, in a certain way, in the name of justice, then all persons must be subjected to a like justice.
Dick Cheney, I would like to see you take in a good game of, dunk in the water, before our full senate, as part of a hearing to determine how much money was paid to Halliburton, and if it is currently considered too dangerous for Halliburton to do any work in Iraq. Are they then living off our taxpayer dollars, without any work being done, as our new bunch of lazy subterfuges, on public welfare? Could we then, please ask for this money to be returned? Or, is this too much to ask?

THE ANALECTS of CONFUCIUS
Confucius as attributed by Lao Zi, translated by James Legge
Part 2, The Virtue;
The Master said, "If the people be led by laws,
and uniformity sought to be given them by punishments,
they will try to avoid the punishment,
but have no sense of shame.
"If they be led by virtue, and uniformity sought
to be given them by the rules of propriety,
they will have the sense of shame,
and moreover will become good."

Translation by, Mark Robert Gates
One is invited to notice, a necessity exists,
of acknowledging, Paul's use of 'peace,

If we replace, peace, with another verb,
as in, "and so run."
We see how this sentence structure
is built on a, use of, a final verb,
moreover, when not using, peace,
as in a verb, one can verily notice,
run, as, heavyness in our heart.
Only, then use, peace, here as in a verb,
does one's heart, again,
feel peace, as an overcoming,
in one's now free heart,
and as taught by Christ;
all lightness of His Yoke.
And, we all may share together,
all eternity spent, in peace.

THE ANATOMY of MELANCHOLY
Robert Burton
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert_Burton_%28scholar%29
Courtesy of Project Gutenburg
THE AUTHOR'S: ABSTRACT OF MELANCHOLY
When I go musing all alone
Thinking of divers things fore-known.
When I build castles in the air,
Void of sorrow and void of fear,
Pleasing myself with phantasms sweet,
Methinks the time runs very fleet.
All my joys to this are folly,
Naught so sweet as melancholy.
When I lie waking all alone,
Recounting what I have ill done,
My thoughts on me then tyrannise,
Fear and sorrow me surprise,
Whether I tarry still or go,
Methinks the time moves very slow.
All my griefs to this are jolly,
Naught so mad as melancholy.
When to myself I act and smile,
With pleasing thoughts the time beguile,
By a brook side or wood so green,
Unheard, unsought for, or unseen,
A thousand pleasures do me bless,
And crown my soul with happiness.
All my joys besides are folly,
None so sweet as melancholy.
When I lie, sit, or walk alone,
I sigh, I grieve, making great moan,
In a dark grove, or irksome den,
With discontents and Furies then,
A thousand miseries at once
Mine heavy heart and soul ensconce,
All my griefs to this are jolly,
None so sour as melancholy.
Methinks I hear, methinks I see,
Sweet music, wondrous melody,
Towns, palaces, and cities fine;
Here now, then there; the world is mine,
Rare beauties, gallant ladies shine,
Whate'er is lovely or divine.
All other joys to this are folly,
None so sweet as melancholy.
Methinks I hear, methinks I see
Ghosts, goblins, fiends; my phantasy
Presents a thousand ugly shapes,
Headless bears, black men, and apes,
Doleful outcries, and fearful sights,
My sad and dismal soul affrights.
All my griefs to this are jolly,
None so damn'd as melancholy.
Methinks I court, methinks I kiss,
Methinks I now embrace my mistress.
O blessed days, O sweet content,
In Paradise my time is spent.
Such thoughts may still my fancy move,
So may I ever be in love.
All my joys to this are folly,
Naught so sweet as melancholy.
When I recount love's many frights,
My sighs and tears, my waking nights,
My jealous fits; O mine hard fate
I now repent, but 'tis too late.
No torment is so bad as love,
So bitter to my soul can prove.
All my griefs to this are jolly,
Naught so harsh as melancholy.
Friends and companions get you gone,
'Tis my desire to be alone;
Ne'er well but when my thoughts and I
Do domineer in privacy.
No Gem, no treasure like to this,
'Tis my delight, my crown, my bliss.
All my joys to this are folly,
Naught so sweet as melancholy.
'Tis my sole plague to be alone,
I am a beast, a monster grown,
I will no light nor company,
I find it now my misery.
The scene is turn'd, my joys are gone,
Fear, discontent, and sorrows come.
All my griefs to this are jolly,
Naught so fierce as melancholy.
I'll not change life with any king,
I ravisht am: can the world bring
More joy, than still to laugh and smile,
In pleasant toys time to beguile?
Do not, O do not trouble me,
So sweet content I feel and see.
All my joys to this are folly,
None so divine as melancholy.
I'll change my state with any wretch,
Thou canst from gaol or dunghill fetch;
My pain's past cure, another hell,
I may not in this torment dwell!
Now desperate I hate my life,
Lend me a halter or a knife;
All my griefs to this are jolly,
Naught so damn'd as melancholy.

THE FLOWER
| Alfred Tennyson |
Once in a golden hour
I cast to earth a seed.
Up there came a flower,
The people said, a weed.
To and fro they went
Thro' my garden-bower,
And muttering discontent
Cursed me and my flower.
Then it grew so tall
It wore a crown of light,
But thieves from o'er the wall
Stole the seed by night.
Sow'd it far and wide
By every town and tower,
Till all the people cried
`Splendid is the flower.'
Read my little fable:
He that runs may read.
Most can raise the flowers now,
For all have got the seed.
And some are pretty enough,
And some are poor indeed;
And now again the people
Call it but a weed.

THE DAFFODILS
| by William Wordsworth |
I wandered lonely as a cloud
That floats on high o'er vales and hills,
When all at once I saw a crowd,
A host, of golden daffodils;
Beside the lake, beneath the trees,
Fluttering and dancing in the breeze.
Continuous as the stars that shine
And twinkle on the Milky Way,
They stretched in never-ending line
Along the margin of a bay:
Ten thousand saw I at a glance,
Tossing their heads in sprightly dance.
The waves beside them danced, but they
Out-did the sparkling waves in glee:
A Poet could not but be gay,
In such a jocund company:
I gazed--and gazed--but little thought
What wealth the show to me had brought:
For oft, when on my couch I lie
In vacant or in pensive mood,
They flash upon that inward eye
Which is the bliss of solitude;
And then my heart with pleasure fills,
And dances with the daffodils.

THE FIRST KISS of LOVE - Wikisource: by Lord Byron
by George Gordon, Lord Byron
Ha barbitos de chordais
Er ota mounon aechei.—ANACREON
Away with your fictions of flimsy romance,
Those tissues of falsehood which Folly has wove;
Give me the mild beam of the soul-breathing glance,
Or the rapture which dwells on the first kiss of love.
Ye rhymers, whose bosoms with fantasy glow,
Whose pastoral passions are made for the grove;
From what blest inspiration your sonnets would flow,
Could you ever have tasted the first kiss of love.
If Apollo should e'er his assistance refuse,
Or the Nine be dispos'd from your service to rove,
Invoke them no more, bid adieu to the Muse,
And try the effect, of the first kiss of love.
I hate you, ye cold compositions of art,
Though prudes may condemn me, and bigots reprove;
I court the effusions that spring from the heart,
Which throbs, with delight, to the first kiss of love.
Your shepherds, your flocks, those fantastical themes,
Perhaps may amuse, yet they never can move:
Arcadia displays but a region of dreams;
What are visions like these, to the first kiss of love?
Oh! cease to affirm that man, since his birth,
From Adam, till now, has with wretchedness strove;
Some portion of Paradise still is on earth,
And Eden revives, in the first kiss of love.
When age chills the blood, when our pleasures are past—
For years fleet away with the wings of the dove—
The dearest remembrance will still be the last,
Our sweetest memorial, the first kiss of love.
December 23, 1806."

POEM SPRINGS ALL FLOWERY
© 2001 Mark Robert Gates
Spring is tulips
And daffodils
And blooming trees,
My favorite spring
Activity is looking
At all of these.
I spy a flower
My senses empower
An awesome spirit
Of blissful joy all a-flower.
For real I know
Are the seeds they sow
Of developing sights
Of all delights.
I reap a harvest
Of bountiful rest
As peace washes over
And everything comes up clover.
In spring the poet springs
And then I write these things.
My favorite thing of all
Is that the order for our creation
Is not too tall.

I experience flowers
Whenever they bloom for hours,
All sorts beacon from strong towers,
“Rebirth and re-growth,
Our Creator’s all mighty powers.”
Tulip bloom and daffodil,
Garden room with roses fill,
Blooming trees pollinated between
With honeybees, mighty looking keen.
Everything growing color
Rainbow seedlings bursting out,
Nature’s call blindly follow
Reaching bloom without a scout.
Reality fine the flowers rise,
Picture book wine all I eyes.
I am thankful of my reward
Of flowers stems
Of celestial toward
The country trims
With joy eternal
And pleasant forever,
“The florist internal
Is creation’s endeavor.”

FOREVER UPON A TIME
© 2002 Mark Robert Gates
Forever upon a time,
Eternity opened up,
Discovery of the crime,
Love unreal an empty cup.
Real love is felt to the touch,
Pure softness, gentle on the spirit,
Never knowing separation, and such
The soothing as the souls near it.
The spirit of love is the spicing,
The sealant of emotional bonding,
Pursuant to the code of enticing,
Deliverer of the nation responding.
The soul of love is our way of liveness,
A mighty power to divide away loss,
Exacting virtual and real forgiveness,
Nature of total involvement, boss.
If you want to see love grow,
A complete immersion principle
Lights the way to where we go,
A true bondage ring pierces the nipple.

All Our Lives Are Painted Frames of Looney Tunes
© 2006, Mark Robert Gates
All our lives are painted frames of Looney Tunes
All shuffled up and lying on the ground,
Life around us orbits, stars, planets, just like moons,
All is people searching, forever, for the lost and found.
Tomorrow, is never really a solid for our grasp,
Yesterday, has left us a library to rearrange on shelves,
Our countenance is constantly blown from our clasp,
Today, inconsequential into all one chooses and delves.
Why has our creator left us stranded on desert sands
Writing books about all our efforts to understand,
How a people can embrace a being without hands
With our body of which no matter what may be gets canned.
As spirit journeys just cycles in which we all sojourn,
Spirals going clockwise then counter against the current,
Reality full of oddities leaves us to mourn,
Why all our worlds, in a life of orbits, meant to be sent.

I Have Given Myself Freedom, Yes, and Theocracy Not
© 2006 Mark Robert Gates
There are some truths we hold to be self-evident; we are all entitled to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. This is a basis of American life of which we cannot allow to be rescinded. To allow a theocracy to be formed to create a governing body of hypocrites absolved of any responsibility for their own sins to rule over those who they believe different with the intent of stopping behavior they deem immoral is to recreate a hell on earth. Our forefathers had come from abuse of power such as this in Europe and decided to form a republic with a government they meant to be separated from any religious doctrine being forced on our population. To reverse this and remove our constitutional rights to free speech, free press and free religious choice is a dangerous course of action and will only result in total and complete tyranny, again.
Christianity itself cannot agree upon its own doctrine and often persecutes other Christian churches believers. In our day and age in America there is very little persecution of Christians by other beliefs, however, there is much large-scale persecution by Christians of anything not agreeing with their individual doctrine. Somehow these misguided souls believe they have been given authority over others and they must use whatever force they can to stop any practice of which they do not approve. Moreover, they are warring for control of our children’s minds in our public schools. Where they plan to create unwanted religious indoctrination even though there is no uniform belief in all of Christianity.
In history the church has stood in the way of scientific progress, in fact, persecuting those trying to teach of an earth round and circling our sun in the midst of a vast universe. Also, people were forced to steal bodies from graveyards in order to learn anatomy even though many Christians now opt for the surgery they so vehemently opposed. Today the church is standing in the way of stem cell research in the same manner. We must once again stand up and fight for our very future. There simply cannot be a government bounded by superstition and ignorance allowed to come to be.
If anyone can show me a verse in the bible of which there is authority given to rule the world, then I will allow such a government. For now I choose to live where I live as having gained an intellectual and cognitive truth of which has truly set me free. There is no thought, no writing, no belief and no knowledge of which can cause the death of my eternal spirit.

New Years 2006, Behold; A Door To Open
All photos copyright 2005 Mark Robert Gates, unless otherwise noted
Valentine's Poem
© 2001 Mark Robert Gates
Softened like butter,
Dreamier than melted chocolate fudge,
Our taste is sweet and lingers on my tongue,
Of love being given in desire’s buffet,
Born on a gentle nudge,
And of our loving being given to a joy
Forever young.
The allure is sweet for eternity,
And will never slip nor budge.
Chorus: I feel the caress of angels,
Soft like your skin,
Whenever you come near,
And you behold me closer.
And I know why the unenlightened,
Believe our love is a sin.
Will we ever give up forever’s arms
For a forgery? “No sir!”
Will we settle for a tomorrow filled with hate?
“What then?”
My cold hard core is gone in the pool
Of chocolate melting,
And I won’t ever find reason,
To be hard on you again.
The delicacy called chocolate,
Is sweetened sugar melting,
Our souls together into a concoction,
Which won’t regain,
The emptiness of our two lives,
Before mating in this smelting.
Chorus
Our existence was made for us,
And our love-fest dreams,
Our desires met are a heart’s
Heavenly pleasure.
Our being was created to do
Every will of our schemes,
The overflowing abundance
Of our joy is rich treasure,
And every need and personal pleasure,
Create life’s themes.
Chorus
I held up our tomorrow to eternity
And it matched perfectly,
Whoever put us together breathed life
Into our creation.
The up or the down choice is solved
For us here emotionally,
Whoever created the heartbeat,
Gave limitless, passion,
You, and I, now our love,
And a life we belong to sensationally.
Chorus: I feel the caress of angels,
Soft like your skin,
Whenever you come near,
And you behold me closer.
And I know why the unenlightened,
Believe our love is a sin.
Will we ever give up forever’s arms
For a forgery “No sir!”
Will we settle for a tomorrow filled with hate?
“What then?”

DEPRESSION NEED NOT KICK YOUR BUTT

There is much misinformation about depression circulating in, pseudo-Christian, circles. Love is not a sin, and kindness is never a weakness. We need to, not leave, the physically imperfect behind. Mental illness, is always a physical condition requiring medical treatment, best left to only professionals. There are too many uninformed people practicing medicine without a license.
If this information from the National Institute of Mental Health helps you to determine if you really need treatment, it will make my day. Please begin your search for treatment, if you believe you suffer from depression, by finding a psychiatrist you trust and respect, and discussing your symptoms with her/him. Also, regular talk therapy or counseling is a good adjunct to medical treatment, and better than struggling to come to terms with emotional affect on your own. Another treatment that works at times is hypnotherapy, along with talk therapy, where a person is helped to find, what we are in denial about, and unconscious turmoil that has gone on unresolved during the struggles life sometimes puts people through.
These, two groups, can help a person deal with social stigma.
