Sesame Street, Amazon.com and God: One of these things is not like the others…

I was looking into a rather “local” cardiologist’s online profile,  after being taken in by his interesting and provoking attempt to get my dollars. The man’s name is Dr. Chauncey Crandall, and he has a lovely and thriving practice in Palm Beach Florida.

I didn’t end up buying into his bit, but you can find it here, if you’re at all
interested: w3newsmax.com./newsletters/crandall/video_ob2.cfm?
PROMO_CODE=E5D0-1

Doesn’t even look like the sort of URL you’d find
for something done by a doctor in the good practice, does it? I don’t know his methods past those offered in the video, but I fully intend to make good on his offer, that is, I’m going to personally contact this man, and see if he truly cares, as he says, “to help others.” Of course, I will be reporting on my findings, which, hopefully, will prove he’s who he says he is, and does great works to help others.

In the meantime, one of my findings took me here:
http://www.amazon.com/Raising-Dead-Doctor-Encounters-
Miraculous/dp/044655720X/ref=sr_1_1?
s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1333101232&sr=1-1

Well, no… actually, I found this: http://www.amazon.com/s?
ie=UTF8&keywords=Fraud%20-%20United%20States&rh=n%3A283155%2Ck
%3AFraud%20-%20United%20States%2Cp_lbr_one_browse-bin%3AChauncey
%20W.%20Crandall&page=1

And if you’re anything like me, you were raised on the likes of Sesame Street. So I ask you… of these two URLS above, “one of these things is not like the other…”

Can you see the glaring difference?

If you said, “‘keywords=Fraud…” or something to that effect, you’d be right. So, what would the good doctor be involving himself in the likes of such keywords?? Apparently, this book tells more in the reviews of the sorts of minds that are either attracted or detracted by his brand of “medicine.” So if you found that at all intriguing, read on, and check out this link, that will take you to an amazing debate on the very basic laws of both God and humankind.

“47 reviews” but the good stuff starts here and only gets better…

I DARE you not to scroll to see what happens next on those pages of Amazon.com

Finally, I’d had enough of the brilliance turned by Joseph G. Mitzen
of Amazon.com reviewer fame. And decided to stick my .04 in the pot.
I was ready to post what I had to add to the ongoing debate, when I
realised… this is the stuff of blogs to go on and on, growing more
and more interesting by supplying a means to continue the debate. Oh
and religion? science? history? law? It’s all there. So I’ve brought
it here, and have this to say to Mr. Mitzen:

You like law, don’t you? I’m like that too. I’ve enjoyed reading
your side of this debate process on the matter of God and Man.

I believe in both. But, I don’t preach on the former, for I know I’m the latter, of course. It’s never my place to force another to recognise my truths are either more viable or important than another’s… except in the case where logic meets head-on with personal power plays. I believe that’s what most religions, in all their garb and supposed intent, are… attempts to control masses with common, or rather communal doctrine, which, created by man, undoubtedly is, by it’s design, intended to benefit man. This could be a good thing, of course, if man were perfect and incorruptible. But he is not. For again… man is not god. I just wanted to say that, and again, I’ve much enjoyed following this debate. Carry on, please:)

Yes, the smiley I’ve left, to show this was an off the cuff comment, not scripted to suggest I’d given it more thought that that which took me through the first two or three pages to reach my own opinions on the matter. I insist to be sincere here, and say I find Mr. Mitzen’s remarks both worthy of remark and consideration for his
choice in their being his side of the debate. So instead, I posted a thanks for the inspiration the debate had offered me and left a link to find this blog and this post.

I do love a good, healthy debate, and so, I will give a thanks to Jean Klett, to whom Mr. Mitzen was apparently speaking through most of the comments on those pages, and to Cypress Green, to whom Klett was speaking originally. Mitzen actually arrived later to the scene, but, in my opinion, brought the necessary logic to the entire dynamic, and therefore, gets my vote to win this debate.

If you’ve read it now… what are your thoughts? Who has a good case here? Green? Klett? or Mitzen? I’m interested in knowing what you think, good readers. Thanks for your time, and your words to mine:)

What CENSORSHIP Looks Like…

The Government’s At It Again…

Wouldn’t it be amazing to see our government actually ADDRESS issues at the onset, instead of side-stepping them until they can be used as some sort of leverage point? We can’t afford to house the people in this country, yet many MANY people think it’s important to KEEP making MORE people. Those people, however, have no intention of footing the bill (taking responsibility) for those people they insist should be here. It’s more than pro-life. It’s immigration laws in desperate need of reform, equality of pay and placement in the workplace, but I’m sure you can think of others as well.

So just getting to this (the news, these days sickens me, in general, so I tend to avoid it for as long as possbile) once logging into my Yahoo! messenger account this evening, I was greeted with this as the top story (and why not… it’s going to affect everyone and everything, and there’s little ANYONE that’s not voting on the matter can do but hide and wait for the outcome… hence why I tend to avoid the news in general anymore,) But here it is:

Abortion Becomes Flashpoint in Shutdown Battle

http://news.yahoo.com/s/yblog_theticket/20110408/ts_yblog_theticket/abortion-becomes-flashpoint-in-shutdown-battle

There’s loads of comments following the posted story (9,662 at the time of this posted note on the article, including my own, which follows,) citing everything from abortion to religion, and support of our troops fighting still in this and that faraway place, supposedly to protect this country, and promote the democracy of those it was said to be sent to protect. But, though that’s all fine and well, as long as it’s working, however, one has to wonder, with all that support going out to see to the well-being and freedoms of other nations, WHO IS SEEING TO THE PROTECTION AND WELL-BEING OF THOSE OF US HERE AT HOME?? I weighed in on the article, and this is what I pondered…

It’s interesting the amount of money put up to promote and defend the rights of drug pushers in this country (ie: pharmaceutical companies,) for the likes of such things as Viagra, but while penises are getting harder faster, and able to stay that way for a longer period of time, nothing is being done to protect the receptacle of these co-instruments of procreation (ie: vaginas.) Seems a bit ridiculous to even involve the likes of Planned Parenthood (privately funded provider and promoter of affordable women’s medical health,) in the overall government decisions to fix the failing economy. Shame Lil’ Bush and the crew aren’t around anymore to see that the whole thing is simply deregulated so that all the big cats can see to their golden parachutes opening before impact. At least the top 1% of the nation would look like IT was being considered in all this garbage. I see this country headed straight for serfdom. We already have lords and ladies in place (ie: multi-billion dollar owners of the media…) we’re basically just tenant farmers living on their land anymore:( We aren’t even, many of us, “working class” dogs… We’re just sheep being led to the inevitable slaughter. OH, to simply be a dog again… those were the good ol’ days.

Well, that’s about all the time we have for today’s take on tomorrow. Stay tuned to find out more things that are happening that you can’t do a THING about. But thanks, as always, for reading, and hope you’re having a good day, despite the apparent and rampant stupidity.

Stop the Madness… I Want Off This Ride!!

Religion is

a man-made product of manipulative intent. To each his (or her) own rights to worship and espouse whatever is in his or her own heart. How much nicer would it all be if so much less passion were spilled in blood and commitment in the name of such institutions. However, unfortunately, so many need something, someone to dictate what they should believe in, and therefore, how they should then think, about themselves, about their world. We are a thinking creature… we should spend more time determining how best to save our species as opposed to how to draw it into some false sense of security based on sporadic truths doused in a liquid ignorance. We should be strong and righteous because it is the right thing to be, to do, not because some book or guy in a 3-piece suit, or some guy in a dress tells us we should do it. We are, each of us, stronger and wiser than this. I’m not an atheist. I just hate religion as such a controlling mechanism in my world. Politics… what’s the difference? It’s the same mind screwing but for a different god.
