      From: banerjeeadda1234@gmail.com              > > > > So, your analogy of a 'headless chicken' just struck a chord with me.       It's a perfect description of what are becoming [as a society]. TRUST? Who do       we trust anymore? Nothing was going to put that poor chicken's head back       on...and dinner that        night was great! One might wonder who will feast upon us [do I hear the CCP       honing their knives and forks]? But can TRUST be brought back? In our       discussion [neighbor and myself], we saw a close 2nd place in envelopment in       the idea of 'BELIEF". To        believe in something, one must have faith in it's essential virtue...a thing       of both goodness and strength. America's founding contained both...but too       many are trying to destroy it's virtue to gain power. Virtue itself will carry       on, no doubt. And        perhaps that's an even greater force of carry. In that, my own chicken body       seems to gain a connection, saved from my own mindlessness. Be good; Be       strong. Keep faith.       > > > I was so impressed by the US and the Americans when I visited in 1987.       Lived up to my great expectations. Wonderful people. Brilliant. But my Indian       friend said there was a lot of madness there. Came out in so many crazy gun       deaths.       > > > You give hope it will come back. Sooner the better.       > > I mean, the past greatness of the US, now eclipsed by the strange Rubard       types.       > "We did it to ourselves?"              Who else could?       Technology made many Americans rich.       The clever ones who were not that rich wanted to get rich as quickly as       possible.       So they studied law, management and medicine. Quick, sure money there.       Not science and engineering, not much money there.       The smart alecs representing the get rich quick types gave away the technology       to China, to get cheap good instead, sell high at home and get really rich.       Now they have no brains left, except what they can import, and no       manufacturing advantage.       Once the Indians were smart (British education was superb, so Indians who came       to US in the 50-60s were outstanding) but after independence the education       system in India got stuffed. Too much rote learning, de-emphasis on the       basics, loss of spriitual        values, etc. So the Indians in US are second or third rate imports, as opposed       to those now 75+.       Like, the pathetic brown character in the BBT. Well, they are all pathetic, so       there.       All the great-great modern physicists In the US can do is to bullshit as       loudly as possible.       Just to keep on the myth of Jewish metaphysics, relating to finity and       creation, going, to get the funding from the dumb and deluded masses.       Sad.       Q. now is, does anyone among them have the guts to go thrrough my work and ask       me to give me a series of lecture demonstrations about my rail gun       experiments, and the implications from them? Which would then lead to newer       and greater things?       Let us see!              Cheers,       Arindam Banerjee              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
