The cost of his Second Inaugural Party:
$30 Million Dollars plus.

Or ten 30 second SuperBowl ads: 3 million dollars each.

Whatever. I'm not one to expect anything from Bush, but the feigned indignation from those shocked the UN or others criticise Bush's stand on the concept of humanity is a tad much.


Coming from the very people that expect the government to pay for every whim and desire - this is no surprise

Another irony, these are also the same people that rally round the cry "no more deficit spending!"

Yup the same people that cried "relief is to slow" for hurricane victims then when the government kicked into high gear with that relief they cried "its all about the election"

Then they are the first to attempt to tie private expenditures for long planned events such as the inaugural and corporate advertising during the superbowl.

The GALL shown is disingenious in attempts at politicizing aid to tsunami ravaged countries.

The US is hands down the most generous nation that has ever existed yet has to endure unwarranted criticism such as this.

RANT you want to politicize? look up the lowest point in US funding of UN aid to developing countries - the answer might shed light on the hypocracy of these charges.

(I was a psychology major)



Glad to see that you're interested.

I'll start by pointing you in two directions(well, two aspects of the same direction rather).


The first is the psychology of Gnosis; a synthesis of the things I mentioned in my last post.

www.gnosis-usa.com...

An excerpt:

Psychology
from Greek psyche (pskhe) meaning "soul," and Logos, the "principle governing the cosmos," the Word, God. True psychology is "the knowledge of the relationship of the soul with God." Esoteric Psychology is the highest and most potent level of that knowledge, which is "private" and "interior" and is entered into in levels, according to the internal, initiatic process of the seeker.


"What is the source of all misery? Deluded perception... based on ignorance of our true nature...

Since the very heart of ignorance is the innate grasping at an "I," anyone who wishes to attain full liberation from all forms of suffering should strive to abandon this subtle, inborn ego-grasping..."

- Tsong Khapa, the First Dalai Lama




The second would be a specific branch of knowledge that is a huge part of the foundation of Gnosis; Shetaut Neter and Metu Neter:





The Tree of Life is the foundation of all religion which is reflected in Man.



Edited to add - How is donating tens of millions of dollars officially,
and hundreds of millions (a billion is expected) unofficially to be
considered 'out of tune' and 'devilish and backwards'?


I'm talking about getting to the root of it all.

The Devil(ego) tries to resolve things by starting from the tips of each little branch and working his way to the root.

The Original Man(Original Mind) goes straight to the source of things and then goes from there.


I mean, it's good that something is being done to help; but the problem is that 1) The Billions of dollars being spent on the false "War on Terror" that people support, could be going toward things like truly helping people; and 2) the deficit was not meant to be payed back from the very beginning, so the Zionist Powers That Be(known to some as "The Black Lodge") are throwing as much money around as they can because they know this; and they also know that the whole system has to collapse eventually because of it, so they are trying to pull as many souls as they can into darkness before it does.

There are sincere honest people involved, but the higher-ups are helping only because they basically have to, and nothing more.


If the latter statements seem shocking to you, then disregard them as only being my opinion for now. I'd rather you look into what I see as true psychology, and then see if my opinion could coincide with that or not.




Peace

These numbers have changed by now, but since we are being called stingy lets do this.

In 2003 the population of the US was 291 million, of course this includes children and immigrants but does not include those not counted in the census so the numbers will be off.

www.carryingcapacity.org...

Lets each send 10 dollars to a relief fund. That way the total US private donation, would be..............

291 million times 10 = two billion nine hundred ten million

of course getting everyone in the States to cooperate would be hard...but it's a thought............
