How about posting a thread asking what people entertain in terms of their greatest dreams?

DONE

HEB

" If nothing we do matters, then all that matters is what we do.

If there's no grand finish, no big win, then the smallest act of kindness is the greatest thing in the world".

VERY WELL SAID

In my brightest moments I see all mankind united in a quest for the common good, and a sincere love of each other, realizing that hatred and violence really belong in the background of our genetic makeup, and need not be brought to the forefront so quickly, only to harm ourselves.

"It is a dream I have."

I see a world of hope and pain, a world where we don't live happily ever after, but instead happily mostly after. A place where we can believe fragmented and contradictory things without hurting each other, where we can have conflict without getting out of hand, where, though we may not feast, we will not go hungry.

On a personal level I want to grow old among people I care about.

On a less deep level there are two places I'd like to live, one is the permanently grounded Firefly class ship Dreamer of Dreams that exists only in my mind under the, "If I ever get insanely rich I'll build this," section and the other is a very real hotel room in Florence (the most beautiful city on the planet) within walking distance of all the good sights with a stone spiral staircase in the two level room. That exists in my mind under the, "If I ever get insanely rich I'll buy the hotel and use the payment from guests to pay my cost of living," section.

I also entertain the enduring belief that Corporatism will reach a critical mass, and the public will force them to banish the 'bottom line' in favour of 'profitable is enough'.
Then our children will come first, as they should.

A lot of people see a better world in their brightest moments, a world they would want for their children and all their loved ones. You know, what they want for the people they personally care about.

Unless you want to make people better a better world more or less takes the form of standard political rhetoric.

If you don't want that then ask the question to shallow people that don't care about the world those they love will live in.

Making people better.... seems to me that I saw some movie which sorta sent a message 'bout that. Hmm....oh well. I'm still naive enough to think that those who live their lives by example are often the best teachers. "Monkey see, monkey" do sort of thing.

For realistic, possible futures, I'll take cigarette smoking a thing of the past. I even believe that it can happen in the next century.

For just plain old dreaming, I hope that someday war and genocide will be way, way down. Maybe a few percent of what they are now. That happens through understanding and shared TV channels!

I don't know about a better world. When things seem the brightest and going really well I can't help but wish that things were just a bit worse off.

Its too warm, too sunny, I have too much money, too much success, my girlfriend is too hot, she wants us to have too much sex, Serenity is too good a movie, the War on Terror is too successful, liberals are too inept, my DVR have too much TV for me to watch, that dinner was too good, the fridge is full of too much beer, there are too many good games on, the Judge is giving Defendants too much time in jail, I have too much hair, my car is too cool, gas prices have come down too much, my puppy is too smart, this post is too long, too eloquent, and finally my office chair is too comfortable.

AURaptor, That's the dumbest post I've ever seen outta you, and I seen some dumb ones.

*Nitpicky part- Corporatism has more to do with economics, I think, than politics.
*Major area of concern- The quest of the almighty dollar is bi-partison, and as such I am singling out no particular party. To assign 'political rhetoric' to my post is like saying I'm bashing Bush if I wish for world peace (Hmmmm....Naw, I won't start

So, what am I being now, in your unclouded view, by wanting our children to come before corporate profits- too liberal or too conservative?

Wow... this thread turned a little bitter.

On a completely different point... I work in a bookshop part time, in the childrens section. And I have seen/heard the all of the following:

Child: Can I have a book
Parent: A book? What do you want a book for? You've got a book at home.
***
Child: I hate books, they're boring.
***
Parent: I don't care how many good reviews it's had you should be reading educational things like Enid Blyton.
***
Parent: I wish your grandparents had never given you book tokens.

All these things destroy my day so I guess one of my wishes would be that every child would read one book that they really enjoyed and could dream because of it.

So yes, Sappy and pathetic but true because what's the point of anything if you don't dream?

Dark Angel, Firefly, Buffy, Angel, Enterprise, Farscape... anything else you'd like to cancel?

My, how does one answer that gem of a response ? First, I meant politics in the general sense, not elected officials or party definition. Either way, it's " us against them-ism" . And who is keeping your from putting YOUR children before corporate profits? Or are you speaking for all of our children? And if all you can do is offer up a

to a very basic question, then it shows me that you're a) too scared b) too stupid or c) too brainwashed to even have this discussion in the first place.

And fyi - I don't work for any big 'corporation'. I am self employed. But if you can find a better way of doing business, by all means, have at it. I find it funny that so many folks who bitch and whine about big corporations seem to support them all the same. Unless you're living on a desert island and your appliances are made of bamboo and coconuts ala Gilligans Island, you're just full of shit.

Yeah, we both know it turned right here, with this post by chrisisall: AURaptor, That's the dumbest post I've ever seen outta you, and I seen some dumb ones. Pretty much shows how some can't post w/ out taking cheap shots at others.

But on the other hand, I'm touched that chrisisall took it upon himself to change the subject line of this thread, to honour me.

It's the least he could do, since actually engaging in mature, calm and meaningful dialogue is beyond his capacity. Well done, chris! Keep believing !

When has anyone ever been happy at work? Seriously. That's why it's called WORK! And it's workplace angst ( which I think is totally made up B.S. but I digress..) and not soupline angst. Which do you REALLY think is worse? HINT: It ain't the workplace one.

Pressure to perform? Heck yeah! Don't like your job, get another one, or go into work for yourself.

No one is forcing anyone to have two jobs, or to have kids, for that matter. Certainly not to have more kids than they can afford.

Do you REALLY need a Gov't to teach you about your family values ? Why should the Gov't be there handing out $$ in the first place ? And what cuts ? Aren't we talking about reduction in increases? Like was the case 10 years ago when Newt Gingrich took control of Congress and the Dems/Media screamed bloody murder at the 'slashing, draconian cuts ' which weren't anything but increases ? Here we go again!

Thanks for the kind words, per the times I make sense. Likewise to you as well. I also must say that never did we have times where all is well. Those are clearly subjective observations. 100 years ago, working in the field for 12-14 hours was a fine day of work if it wasn't too hot or it didn't rain. Perhaps its the rise of the middle class in human history which has pitted one man against another. One man works from sun up to sun down and has little to show for it, while another man seemingly works very little, in an office for half that time, and does much better for himself. It's far from perfect, on that we'll agree, but what in life has ever been perfect? Or fair?

Can we do better? I'd like to think we could. Does human history give us any reason to think things will get better ? Depends on whether one sees the glass half full, half empty, or being twice the size it needs to be.

"I didn't start it! I just wanted a quiet drink."

In my brightest manic fantasy, the royal elitists and banksters who rule the world are arrested, put on public trial, sentenced to death, and executed in public, which ends all wars. Communism/Socialism/Fascism is crushed which eliminates over 90% of frivlous laws and frivolous prosecutions/lawsuits under Roman Civil Law/Napoleanic Civil Law. US borders are closed 100%, and only opened to nations that adopt the US Constitution, US wages, US environmental laws, and fully equalize all other relevant laws (ie Fair Trade). US military is only used to defend US borders. 30-million criminal aliens are arrested and deported. Export of US oil is stopped, US oil wells are uncapped, and pumping US oil back into the ground is stopped. All government buildings are required to have solar panels Made-In-USA. Nuke bomb plants/factories are replaced with solar, wind and geothermal farms. Alcohol Prohibition is repealed and US farmers are required to have moonshine stills to manufacture clean-burning alcohol for motor vehicles. Drug Prohibition is repealed to put the CIA and Bush Crime family and mafias out of business. Income tax is repealed (ending partnership of church and state via 501c3 contract). Property tax is repealed. Sales tax is repealed. US government pays US citizens to live in USA, like Alaska state government pays residents to live in Alaska. 90% of government employees are fired. Traffic copsters are replaced with ambulance crews and skid-control school instructors, and all adults are required to own guns and educated in law of self defense and citizen's arrest. Theft of $70-trillion/year in CAFR government pension funds is stopped and used to fund government. Federal Reserve Bankster Corporation is terminated, and power to print money is returned to US government. Medical doctors are arrested, tried and executed for 2.5-million murders in USA every year, until the murders stop. The child-sacrifice idol of Molech in Bohemian Grove is exploded with TNT in a live nationally televised fireworks display on all TV news channels on the 4th of July. Yale Skull & Bones is opened to the public. Luciferian "Jewish" Freemasonry (ADL B'Nai B'Rith) is outlawed. The 10 Commandments of law are displayed in all schools and court houses. Pedophiles are executed in public (just like on Battlestar Galactica). Then I could live my life free from armed robbery by Police State Death Squads, and earn a wealthy living, just by minding my own business.

Then I remember 95% of people are merely illiterate sheeple, who love their slavery and pretend they are free, without ambition to be anything else, without the intelligence to be anything else, without the genetics to be anything else, who volunteer for braindamage and mind kontrol chemicals in water, air, food (including drugs, meds and "vaccines"), who willingly sign numerous slave contracts and worship genocidal Gangsta Govt as their GOD.

By following my previous rant, US government would thus pay US citizens to live in USA, like Alaska state government currently pays residents to live in Alaska. Same is true in all other nations. With freedom from armed robbery and freedom from slavery, goes freedom to enjoy the 'Verse. It's foolish to pretend we are not all engaged in a shootin' war every day of our lives, whether or not FMJs are whizzing past your helmet. Why do ya think poisoned "vaccines" are called "shots"?

It's foolish to sit in a foxhole and tell jokes, as the enemy sneaks up on you. It's follish to trust gangsters in government who want to rob, rape, kill or enslave "their" citizens. There's a time to tell jokes, and laugh, even in war, just to keep your sanity, while those around you are losing theirs. But to pretend there's no war is the definition of insanity. Trusting Gangsta Govt with ANYTHING is suicide, due to signing slave contracts with an enemy that publishes official reports of its intent to genocide 90% of planet Earth.

The irony is that each person holds the keys to his or her freedom, by simply not participating in fraudulent slave contracts with Gangsta Govt. Which why the multinational Media Mafia and Public Fool System are used as a Weapons of Mass Deception. "Young and dumb" is the "perfect" citizen/slave.

I'm not kidding, these are my personal, real life comments, based on 45 years of getting robbed and stabbed by Communist Gangsta Govt and its JudeoFascist Mafia minions. And I'm a former gov't employee. Funny how gettin' robbed and poisoned can jade a person's sense of humor. Hindsight can be 20/20, which is still only half as clear as 20/10. What doesn't kill you makes you smarter, or dumber, as the case may be.

Yale Skull & Bones is opened to the public. Luciferian "Jewish" Freemasonry (ADL B'Nai B'Rith) is outlawed. The 10 Commandments of law are displayed in all schools and court houses. Pedophiles are executed in public (just like on Battlestar Galactica)

Don't forget: all witches, doctors and heathens are to be flogged and then burned at the stake. On live TV, so people know ain't nobody thwarting the mighty Sky King's will.

Hmmm... my operation goes well, I re-up with the NG, make it the rest of the way through JFKSWC, find out a new season of Firefly's been made while I was gone, watch it while enjoying my civilian job as a member of the Maryland State Trooper STATE team, get deployed to Afghan, meet up with Sgt. Peitch and Sanders, come back, second Serenity movie has been released, several mor seasons of Firefly expected, meet Summer Glau at a convention, woo her into my manly loving arms, get deployed again (Columbia), die from machine gun fire a week before returning home, get a funeral plot next to my grandfather at Arlington, receive some sort of posthumous medal to hang on my grave, Ms. Glau leaves a rose for me and moves on with her life, family and friends remember me happily and move on as well.

Yeah, it'd make a great movie. At this point I think the best I can expect is just to die and be forgotten, though. Still, thanks for the thread, I think it helps a little to be able to endluge just enough to pretend like it's actually possible.

Actually I think that was personal. Just because it isn't limited to an individual or selfish doesn't mean it isn't "personal"- some people just have an expanded sense of things that they care deeply about.

And as for dreams- why make them "real life"? Isn't that what dreams are NOT supposed to be??? Reminds me of a scene from- I dunno, "Man From Uncle" or some such- two people crawling thru the desert.

DREAMTROVE

Monday, February 13, 2006 2:22 AM

Since the term Corporatism was coined by Mussolini, who called it the 'merger of corporation and state' and thought it was a good idea, or the perfect idea; And since Mussolini was a fascist, and evil, and the enemy of the west, of which I think we are all a part: I don't think anti-Corporatism really constitutes a political point of view.

That's like saying if someone said "Nazi's are bad" turning around and saying "oh there you go with your political zionist rant again."

I don't think that the idea "Corporatism is bad" is really one that is even a matter of debate at this point. I think "Bush is Corporatism" is something you could try to debate, but you would be starting from a losing position. If you wanted to argue "the good in Bush outweighs the bad" I don't envy you, but this is probably where you would have to begin.

Logically, the counterstatement to Chrisisall's statement becomes this one: "Corporatism is good" which doesn't just imply, but actually inherently states "Mussolini was right." Since this is an absolutely untennable political position, I think it makes Chris' statement not particularly political. Certainly not a partisan point.

Anyway,

I think that the way in which corporatism fails is that it makes the govt. into a giant leech that drain life from a society and gives nothing in return, eventually the people hate govt., and eschew it. I think the natural end to corporatism in America, if we don't manage to replace it with something better, is that United States of America will die. Within 10 or 15 years. All of the business and culture of America will continue to exist, but everyone will secede from the leech state. I don't think that at the present time, a USA which is seemingly completely incapable of conquering Iraq could even conceivably take New York, let alone more than one state at a time, let alone half of them or more.

Iraq has a population of 23 million prior to the US invasion, 12 million of whom are adults, terrain is desert. 1 in 3 are armed, relatively few have advanced degrees.

Population of Iraq: 23 Million
Population of New York: 17 Million

Adult Population of Iraq: 12 Million
Adult Population of New York: 13 Million

Square Mileage of Iraq: 171600
Square Mileage of New York: 54471.144

But since much of Iraq is uninhabited, uninhabitable desert, it's really under twice the size.

Number of international airports in Iraq: 2
Number of international airports in New York: 13

GDP of Iraq: $36B
GDP of New York: $988B

Terrain of Iraq: Flat, open, steppeland.
Terrain of New York: Low lying mountains and forest.

Gun ownership in New York is probably even higher of that in Iraq, most of the citizens are educated, and whereas Iraq had one luke-warm potential ally on its borders and many hostile states, a secessionist New York would have two strong allies and no enemies: Canada would undoubtedly support the idea, as would New England, which has always been more averse to federal control than New York has.

While this idea may seem extreme, and is, the New Yorker printed something about NYC session fairly recently, and they weren't really joking. I think right now, a federal union like the USA has to make a very strong case to a state like NY which pays roughly half of its own revenue to support the union, and gets virtually nothing out of the relationship. And please don't say "oh it gets defense." New York has been dying for years to take over its own defense as it is thoroughly convinced that its own resources are superior to that of the federal govt.

I'm sure if anyone here is from California that they have worked out a similar argument.

Anyway, if it's not too political, in my brighest moments I hope that we as a species will organize a way to force ourselves to respect the Earth.

I failed to see the distinction, so I dragged out the old internet dictionary (I can't believe I'm doing this) and found the following:

DREAM- Series of mental images and emotions occurring during sleep; a cherished desire; imaginative thoughts indulged in while awake; a state of mind characterized by abstraction and release from reality; indulge in a fantasy; someone or something wonderful

Signy, maybe you were too busy defending yourself against some of the personal attacks in this thread to remember

Citizen, too bad Einstein didn't figure out where he went wrong with the math, because I think he pretty much got the other idea... check this out from the big E "A human being is part of the whole, called by us 'universe', a part limited in time and space. He experiences his thoughts and feelings as something separate from the rest - a kind of optical delusion of his consciousness. This delusion is a prison for us, restricting us to our personal decisions and to affection for a few persons nearest us." Maybe some percentage of the species needs to have rethought the perception of consciousness to move from the illusion of 'separate' before we can see things from the next perspective. I'm just sayin' I think we're close, I think we get to be there for this paradigm shift. Wouldn't that be fun?

I just wish we lived in a world were humanity mattered the most , where life , not just human life and the quality of all life came first and was the most important thing.

Over my dead body. I am an only child...I don't recomend it.

Personally, I want to get married, have my 3 or 4 kids, work out of my home (so that I can be there for said children) and enjoy some sort of domestic bliss balanced by a few spats here and there.
