My TED Story

After suing a doctor as required by canon of ethics on behalf of a woman who was gutted like a fish; The local anti-lawsuit mafia attacked me in my home and butchered me when they had the chance to operate on me and castrated me. Later a female federal judge disbarred me (she is married to a local doctor). Her reason: I complained that the court appointed defendant they had me defending had been abused in the jail.

• A comment on Conversation: Is hydraulic fracturing the answer especially when you take in consideration the environmental impact it is having?

  Jan 21 2013: The problem with fracking is the economic momentum behind it. That momentum is like gravity. It will not allow you to jump off just because you have a great idea. In a way it (petro-science economic momentum) is like a black hole that will not allow even the light of a good idea escape. It cannot do it even if it wanted to. Who do we have to thank for this? No matter. It will take an unprecedented mass revolt against it to annihilate it. Even the petro industry has solar and wind properties already in place to hedge against such a revolt, just as Ralph Nader predicted in the 1970s. It's time for a global retroactive BTU producers tax.

• A reply on Conversation: What is the best way to use a TEDx event to motivate teachers to be more creative, entertaining, innovative, enthralling, etc.?

  Oct 22 2012: re Frugal: I am of the school that young students look for serious adult leadership, not a pal. I'm not advocating being unfriendly, just that school time is for learning and not so much for telling jokes and laughing away valuable learning time. Tell a joke at the end of class on Fridays that's AOK with me.
  
  If you use a kleenex like a flat sheet it is ok for collecting mucus but it will not muffle sound. It needs to be turned into what I call, "a rosette" that is: wadded so that it is a fluffy ball. Then use that to sneeze into or cough into. It muffles sneeze sound and cough sound very nicely. AS such it shows respect for a lecturer or teacher or minister etc. It also teaches those around you that you are a caring person; and it teaches them "good manners" and it shows that you have good manners.

• A reply on Conversation: Debate: The Millennial generation has no hope.

  Oct 16 2012: Neat Trick! : "no need to get into a religious discussion": Then you trail on for 4 paragraphs about Christians! You rascal.
  
  I believe we are in general agreement : the Rush out ona Limbaugh folk seem to have dropped a handful of screws somewhere but at my church I see people with many doubts about Religion. My religion is perfectly ok with those doubts and in fact requires sincere introspection. Those that call themselves Christians come in many varieties for sure; Some are fanatical others are not self limiting in any measure. The golden Rule you refer to is called "The greatest commandment" in my religion. But I would still try to persuade you from doing an immoral act; Assuming I knew it to be immoral; just as the Golden Rule requires.
  
  It sounds as though you have encountered "Christians" of the fanatical sort which Christ himself turned away. Don't write them all off for a bunch of bad apples. This has to be true for all religions is what I am trying to get across. ( hah!: a cross )
  
  Even the Inalienable Rights you refer to are expressly set out, otherwise you wouldn't have them and might not even know they exist.

  Oct 16 2012: Is Hope a noun or a verb?

• A reply on Conversation: Debate: The Millennial generation has no hope.

  Oct 16 2012: With much due respect: I think the religious systems are fundamentally mis-understood. They all require discernment in all matters with a large bias towards justice. It is the WE/They interpretations that hysterical interpreters, of the religious writings, keep using to prevent reasonable interpretations "of integrity" to inure to the benefit of everyone and instead perpetuate divisiveness and misguided sense of superiority.

  Oct 15 2012: The economic model works. Its weakness is that it can also "be worked" There is much of that going around.
  
  Millennials need to know the truth about money. China will make that evident to everyone in about 3 to 7 yrs. The only way to get "our national economic act together" will require those holding all the cards (1%ers), to realize the need to help entrepreneurs that have merit. This probably wont happen. And the manipulative type who figured out how to "play" the elder with the purse strings, will take us all down before they do what's right. Which leaves personal integrity as the only possession worth pursuing.

  Oct 15 2012: Empty land? What do you want with empty land. There's plenty of cheap land, some with houses and garages on it. Go visit the courthouse steps in your county and look for tax sales. The internet and a credit card and your in business. Sell something on eBay. It isn't that hard. Treat people right and you make money. As much as you want proportional to the effort you make. Then blow off eBay and get your own web page and you're off to the sky is the limit. Unless you're an alcoholic or a drug addict. In which case: get clean. You cannot buy a reputation you can only build one. Use the good stuff. Throw out the bad stuff like; invidious prejudice, self-pity, exaggerated pessimism.

  Oct 15 2012: Now now, it isn't that bleak. Although you have plenty of reasons to think so. While twiddling my thumbs waiting for Mom to give me the ranch she and Dad promised to me in exchange for me not joining the armed services, I created a product to sell on the internet. Eventually Mom totally renegged and gave the ranch to my sisters. They married up, racially speaking (in mom's eyes). I stuck to my own. 30 years of dedication and work down the tubes. But the strong compliments I got from my little product sustained me. I had to close down my shop due to a worn out body but I am not defined by money or possessions. I would like more money but thankfully I don't need it. Nobody does. All you need is integrity.

  Oct 15 2012: TV can only show the amazing stuff within earshot of the producers. That limited world gets all the attention. This creates the illusion of a very limited world. Small successes cultivate greater ones. TV only shows the great ones that sell commercials.
  
  A very long time ago, way before TV, some very wise people wrote a book of wisdom and of life rules to live by called proverbs. They didn't get paid to do it. These books can be found in many bibles. After you read those including Sirac and Eccliasticus too (they may be spelled slightly differently). You will find what the most important thing to acquire in life is. I could tell you, but then you wouldn't take the necessary journey. Once you take that journey you will have wisdom, knowledge and __________ and hope.
  
  That _____________ is more valuable than diamonds or gold.
