The Ozarks and Beyond
Of course, you have to get there first.
I headed out for Nate's on Friday night so we could make an early start of it Saturday morning. We headed out Saturday morning, but not quite early. See, not knowing what my little brother had planned to bring, I loaded up everything but the kitchen sink, so before we headed out I had to pare down my load and distribute the bikes' sherpa duties. We had determined we would bring camping equipment for the convenience of it should we find ourselves on the trail late and too tired and ornery to ride the slab to a motel.

Ready to ride!
Section of the Trans Am Trail. Third times the charm I reckon.
I met Nathan in Tennessee friday night whence cigars, BBQ, and bourbon were enjoyed to mark the occasion.
Up early, we refined our packing and stowing somewhat. Pared down unessentials to facilitate handling and seat room (240 road miles to Nates, then 380 road miles to the trailhead.) We did a little work to get comms running, hit Walmart for ramen noodles, and headed out.

Russert and the Clinton Clan
I seem to remember the lady taking offense at his rough handling of her early in the primary campaign....
Those upon whom blame for her failure falls might just fail to see her next attempt.

Chicken Little was Bullshitting
Again.
Headline from The Independent
The article goes on to state that the risk is primarily to those engaging in buttsex and IV drug users. Surprise, surprise, surprise! I could have asked any whore mongering redneck 15 years ago if he was worried about getting aids and, without the benefit of a degree in biology or an MD he would have responded correctly, "Watch your mouth. I ain't a damned fag."
You never see correction by big news organizations, so don't expect to hear anyhting from the pundentry.
Here is the apology owed:
"You rednecks were right all along about this. We were really just trying to cooperate in the theft of american tax money and use the imaginary issue of heteroaids as a bludgeon to promote saturation of the airwaves with sympathetic coverage for our pet perverts and so our friends would think we were smart, empathetic, and "cutting edge".

Threat of world Aids pandemic among heterosexuals is over, report admits
A 25-year health campaign was misplaced outside the continent of Africa. But the disease still kills more than all wars and conflicts

More than I Bargained for but
No sense in complaining.
I was actually trying to get some secularist sucker to attempt to enlighten me and then aid him/her in tieing his/herself into knots, but Kyrie had a little something bright to say. Thought I'd share.

I would like to see someone try to give a plain english definition of "Spiritually attuned" and "Spiritually advanced" that didn't require the reader to swallow wheel barrow loads of bullshit to even pretend to buy into.
KyrieEleison 06.07.08 - 01:14 PM
I will give it a shot.
When a secular or naturalist application of "spiritually attuned" is used, the writer is only recognizing "spooky insite" that something "unseen" is having an affect on the physical world and, because of Biblical illiteracy, does not recognize it is a full on, brutal, war between dark and light.
"Spritually attuned" Biblically means to have discernment; to discriminate between what is true (light) and what is false (darkness), between what is from God and what is from Satan.
"Spiritual discernment" is actually one of the spiritual gifts listed in 1 Corinthians 12. This power is increased tremendously when one studies scripture. The FDLS case where the lack of discernment of secular society was brought to light is a very good example of the consequences of the blatant disobedience of God's commandment concerning our Biblical illiteracy... ie: no one should think they won't be next.
Biblically, "Spiritually advanced" would pertain to being Biblically literate with spiritual eyesight that only beleivers have. Secularist have no idea their disbelief causes spiritual blindness. A secularist would only attribute one who was spiritually attuned as merely a form of "quazi-poetic insite"; kind of like a blind person using reason to demand that everyone join him in believing color does not exist.

It's a Small World After All
Wrong! It a big world and it's growing because folks just don't get out and see it for themselves.
Their opinions are based on television broadcasts of slanted, agenda driven reports and their perception of dinosaur network applied peer pressure from prime time soap opera character's behavior and scripted expressed opinions.
Factor that into your daily life and not much will surprise you.

It also yielded somewhat surprising results that reveal how little people move around in their daily lives. Nearly three-quarters of those studied mainly stayed within a 20-mile-wide circle for half a year.
