Random is sometimes best

Why is it that people know what needs to be done, but won't do it themselves?

It fascinates me (and is cause for great perplexity) is that while everyone knows what the right thing to do is, yet not everybody can be counted to the right thing.

I don't mean just petty things like lying or stealing, or things that could lead to reprimands if found out. No, I mean things things that only the person knows is wrong yet will most likely not be found out if committed.

The actions that truly define the sanctity of ones' character.

I believe that everyone has a conscious and that the conscience can and does feel guilt at every wrong doing. In my opinion every conscience has a in-built 'guilt trigger' that rings out every time the bearer does something wrong; this trigger rings out every time (perhaps redundantly) even if it is suppressed through years of neglect.

Of course one can never be certain with theories, but by that extension, how about a theological Talatism truth: We only really 'sin' when we rue it deep within. So if a person can steal, cheat or even kill without a hint of remorse he or she has not sinned.

However, because deep within ourselves the conscience is always active (even when it is ignored), a person who lies, cheats or kills knows, and because he or she cannot be of 'clean' conscience so to speak as result, he or she has sinned. The sinners know who they are... even if others do not and they think they 'got away with it.' Here is a reality check, the maker knows.

You'd think people would get that...

Hooked on power

June 10 marked the day in history that Benjamin Franklin, US statesman, signer of the US Constitution and US's third president, was asked to fly a kite and he did to shocking result!

It was 1752 and it sometimes seems that we've been paying for electricity ever since! I thought we should remember because our life is hooked to the power outlet, so much so that we are probably running on electricity.

Bean sprouts in cross-hairs of German veggie wars

German authorities have finally concluded that contaminated bean sprouts from an organic farm (no less) in Bienenbuttel, southeast of Humburg in the country's north, were most likely cause for “one of the world's worst outbreaks of E. coli.

The outbreak scandal, in my opinion, is a total con by the big, faceless, processed-food corporations – what else can it be when it takes a swing, first, at wiping the profiteering smiles off of farmers from Spain and France, and then taking a swipe at organic farming. Sounds like too much 'horse crap.'

Bottom line is the message being sent is fresh vegetables could be too 'fresh' for consumption and that tinned veggies are safer (maybe not better, but the tests are still out on that one) for the health – after all if you don't have your health what's good of an environment?! So it's a little hotter...

Ridiculous!
