Death by Amusement, Death by Fame
''Let me ask you a few questions? Who decided the Michael Jackson story was such big news? Who determines which stories make it into your living room? What stories are they not telling you about? Why? When a pathetic man like Michael Jackson is hailed as “great” what message are we sending to our children?''
A (when used in a prefix)---notMuse---To think or meditate on.Ment---a suffix that indicates action
Amusement---not to think or meditate on. Death---the total and permanent cessation of all the vital functions of an organism.
Americans are brain dead. It is the only thing that explains the events of the past week
We are laughing ourselves to death. We have become so enamored with being entertained that we have lost the ability to think.
``Blessed is the man who walks not in the counsel of the ungodly, Nor stands in the path of sinners, Nor sits in the seat of the scornful; But his delight is in the law of the LORD, and in His law he meditates day and night. Psalm 1
``This book of the Law shall not depart from your mouth, but you shall MEDITATE in it day and night, that you may observe to DO according to all that is written in it. For then you will make your way prosperous, and then you will have good success.'' Joshua 1:8
When was the last time you actually took the time to meditate? I don’t mean in some Eastern Mystical sense, but in a turn-off-the-TV and radio, take out your earplugs, get away from all the distractions, what-the-hell-is-going-on sense?
“Fame. I'm gonna live forever. I'm gonna learn how to fly. High. I feel it coming together. People will see me and cry. Fame I'm gonna make it to heaven. Light up the sky like a flame. Fame I'm gonna live forever. Baby remember my name. Forever... forever… forever…”
“Amusement is the happiness of those who cannot think.” --Alexander Pope
What a shame.
Approaching three-score years on this earth I don’t think I have ever witnessed such meaningless bilge being sold as news. But then again, they have become the same, those two…news and entertainment I am talking about…all part of the national-suicide by lethal injection that is being administered by the government/media complex in this formerly great Republic.
As I have been trying to warn for the past decade or so we have turned over our children to a public fool system that teaches our kids WHAT to think rather than HOW to think. In a more innocent time we called it “indoctrination,” or another popular term from the days when we feared communism “propaganda.” Those terms did not connote good images, but rather pictures of little “Hitler Youth” marching lockstep behind their all-powerful leader. You gotta watch this 4 minute video watch it until the end!
Sometimes I wonder why I even waste my time trying to help open your eyes. No matter how much you might agree with me most of you still turn your kids over to the government to be “indoctri-cated” in global warming, going green, and the toleration of every form of perversion in your “local” school. But of course, the apple doesn’t fall far from the tree, now does it?
