I wanted to try to become some part of their mission. Being trained myself in the westernized evangelical forms of &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Proselytism" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"&gt;proselytism&lt;/a&gt;, I once thought this was the great commission. In some ways it is, I suppose, but I do not think Jesus meant that we pass one another in jet air liners going to each others country’s to proselytize. &lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p align="justify"&gt;&lt;font size="2"&gt;Jason, an American missionary in Mexico, briefed the &lt;a title="Anabaptist Ecovillage" href="http://AnabaptistEcovillage.webs.com" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"&gt;Anabaptist Ecovillage&lt;/a&gt; site, and decided to (metaphorically) toss his line in, to see if he'd get any nibbles. Now, I cannot imagine anyone, anywhere, thinking that some person would quit their current life-situation or liquidate their life, get a passport and then spend thousands of dollars making a risky travel to another country, based upon a random email plea for help; just to have a face-to-face powwow. Obviously such a decision would have to be made with care, over much communication back and forth, and with much prayer, council and time. The cause is just (hopefully) and the needs are sincere, and yet, to expect so much with so little information, surprised me, even to this day when little surprises me. Here is the first cold-call email (in a series of mail):&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p align="justify"&gt;&lt;font size="2" face="Calibri"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Hello From Mexico&lt;br&gt;Just interested in where you are at and such. On your webpages it is hard to find a contact link or anything. I want to build community in Mexico but it seems like it might take me the rest of my life. I do not separate second married couples, we start from scratch when we come into the church. I do not force head coverings but the rest I teach. Looking for like minded brothers to come help me but seems to be quite difficult. Jason&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p align="justify"&gt;&lt;font size="2"&gt;That was it, and I did not know what he meant by "the rest I teach": I thought, the rest of what? Perhaps he’s a school teacher, I presumed. The “I do not” parts had a familiar authoritarian “its-all-about-me” sound to it. Nevertheless, my reply was:&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p align="justify"&gt;&lt;font size="2" face="Calibri"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;I am honored to make a connection with you all in Mexico. Our Lord reigns and nothing happens (the good &amp;amp; the bad) without a purpose. In Him we move and breathe and have Life; to Him we acknowledge this and praise God for His unconditional Love and grace!&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p align="justify"&gt;&lt;font size="2" face="Calibri"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;I briefed your websites and your post on Green Trust (I'm a subscriber). I am certain the indigenous are glad to have you among them. They too, deserve to hear the message of the Gospel of Jesus Christ. Being among people who live simple lifestyles is refreshing, for I too had that experience on (Muslim) Mindanao, Philippines in the year 2000.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p align="justify"&gt;&lt;font size="2" face="Calibri"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;It is surely ethnocentric for Westerners (especially North Americans) to place dollar values on lifestyle; the line of what is "poor" get blurred in the glare of our Vegas-style upbringings. Almost all Amish families live below the (mammon-centric definition of a) poverty line, however, that line is set by their dependency upon the mammon to begin with: Its all relative! When we re-train ourselves to look upon God and His creation, for most (if not all) our daily and annual needs, this (economic) transformation brings with it, a greater faith that God will provide, and that we need not look to others humans, especially the worldly, for those needs. We're no longer driven to forge our gold idols for assurance, as we patiently trust in God from His natural provisions. We surely need one another though, but this should be Spiritual, relational, not financial. &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p align="justify"&gt;&lt;font size="2" face="Calibri"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Modern (mostly Westernized) Protestants have normalized begging for mammon, and to the point of it teetering on evil. They too, are addicted to mammon, and the hustle and scheme for it, is often as creative, and sometimes as dangerous, as any drug addict or profiteer. Thus, a big part of what I'm currently working on, is to formulate (living) ways to exist without any money - or with a bare-minimum amount of it - in the mammon-centric West. In every Biotope, there is opportunity to produce a unique living; most will produce all we'd need; things we could excess to trade locally (with others within our Biome) for other things we might also need. We intentionally build just such networks. God gives us the brain and the muscles to achieve this, and the stewardship directives to guide us. The goal then, is to break dependencies upon the things we cannot produce locally, and obviously, refined crude oil products fall into that category. &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p align="justify"&gt;&lt;font size="2" face="Calibri"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;That category also includes pharmaceutics, and so, we try first, to seek healing from Biblical directives (James 5, etc.) and natural sources, before we give-in to Lab-generated drug therapies. As you probably know, much physical sickness has Spiritual roots, or more accurately, dead roots! You are probably in (or near) an ecological sanctuary that could be offered as a place to come for healing. It's the same mission; to share the Gospel of Jesus Christ, for the very ministry of Jesus was that of a "mobile hospital" for those who were ailing physically, for once He touched them the Holy Spirit simultaneously healed their physical bodies. This aspect is always incorporated into all we do, as the Body of Christ. We are not snake-oil faith healers, but much of the ailments of our modern time have the same root, and so we show them another way. That way is "The Way", this we know, but we must translate that into lifestyles; our own as model and then shine for others. &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p align="justify"&gt;&lt;font size="2" face="Calibri"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Provide a place where people with plenty of mammon, but no Life, could come to be ministered to, by the very people of the Global Village that God has blessed you with. You do not need to seek resources for them: they are the resource! The secular world and especially the New Age Movement, have effectively stepped into the void created by the absence of true Christians; secular Christians do not do Jesus' ministry. Read these web links as educational resources (tools) and not necessarily as models; they are secular and worldly, and yet, God uses all He creates and as He wills, and not just self-professing Christians. The Body of Christ are fine-tuned; we know how to see the workings of God in all things, secular or not. The atheist cannot see God in anything, but that don't mean He is not there. Thus, I do not care if people assign results to the religion of evolution, or to any other religion for that matter, my only interest is to&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;strong&gt;use every resource and tool at my disposal, to do the work of Christ, period! Are you there yet?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p align="justify"&gt;&lt;font size="2" face="Calibri"&gt;&lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Biotope" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Biotope&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font size="2" face="Calibri"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ecopsychology" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;font size="2" face="Calibri"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ecopsychology&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p align="justify"&gt;&lt;font size="2" face="Calibri"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Paulverbs:&lt;br&gt;"Anyone can see the canvas of God and still not know who is the Painter."&amp;nbsp; "Don't stick your hand out unless you have something in it to offer."&amp;nbsp; "God created the world and everything in it; trying to segregate Him from any particle of it is futile."&amp;nbsp; "When it's all said and done, there is usually more said than done."&amp;nbsp; "D&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;font size="2" face="Calibri"&gt;o unto others as you’d want done unto you – but don’t expect everyone to like it."&amp;nbsp; &lt;/font&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p align="justify"&gt;&lt;font size="3"&gt;&lt;u&gt;This is the second email from Jason:&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p align="justify"&gt;&lt;font size="2" face="Calibri"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;"There is usually more said than done" is what I see in the world today. The church is an interdependent body. The Didache and the epistle of Barnabus state that if we share the immortal how much more the mortal perishing things? The church should have all things common and share liberally with one another as Acts teaches which is what we must do, "Act". Without koinonia we are not truly a part of the body of Christ and miss the whole meaning of what the church is. Thanks for your reply and pray that we might meet sometime. With love, Jason&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p align="justify"&gt;&lt;font size="3"&gt;&lt;u&gt;Again, my reply that also took over an hour of my time to produce:&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p align="justify"&gt;&lt;font size="2" face="Calibri"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Jason, you're exactly right in what you say! I want to share what I can with you, right now, for though I have no mammon to share I can offer encouragement, praise, wisdom and prophesy. But I know this from experience: words mean little when we suffer without physical resources but be encouraged and keep up that good fight of your calling. &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p align="justify"&gt;&lt;font size="2" face="Calibri"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;What you are not saying (omitting) speaks volumes about your struggles there, and I too, hope to meet you on this side. Often we get caught-up, looking at the Word - and then the world - and become frustrated by the lack (or absence) of people living Christ in action, but you should know the difference between those who know [about] Christ versus those who gnosis Him! We must slow down and realize the times we're living in; clearly these are the end-times, but at what stage, I do not know. &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p align="justify"&gt;&lt;font size="2" face="Calibri"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Lot pitched his tent near Sodom because it was well-watered; fertile, fruitful and abundant (Genesis 13). But the people already there were corrupted; not for the sake of corruption so much as because they had aplenty and did not need Jehovah. Physical want generates in us a total dependency upon God for all things, or conversely, an obvious frustration that He is not providing what we need or want in our timing! In that stage, we employ guilt or other tactics in the hopes of drawing others to our cause. By the time Lot was rescued by angels from Sodom Metro, the damage was done; he lost his wife to the infectious moral deprivation and his progeny weren't much better morally (Gen. 19). &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p align="justify"&gt;&lt;font size="2" face="Calibri"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;We will (likely) not know of the impending destruction until we stand upon the hill and look down at the smoldering remains. We just know that God set all things in motion for the purpose of delivering us from the destruction. North America is (or was) that proverbial land of aplenty, and mammon makes living even easier than they had it in Sodom Metro! &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p align="justify"&gt;&lt;font size="2" face="Calibri"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Indeed; you may see me (or others like me) sooner than you think! You need to ready yourself for that possibility, or, do not expose where you are. If, for example, I were to come down there with a small group of Christ Disciples, it is likely that we would not return northward again. Are you prepared for that? You're providing no evidence that you are; you are recognizing immediate needs (around you) and asking others to help you in those needs, but koinonia is two-way, and you're only exposing what you want or need but not what you have to share. Don't expect fruitful results from that approach: God always provides for what He is invested in.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p align="justify"&gt;&lt;font size="2" face="Calibri"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;As you can see in this email exchange (alone), I invested much time in sharing ideas, and you acknowledged none of it; you initiated contact with me, and I am glad for that, but you're centered on your efforts and needs, and then, how the rest of the world is slacking. It may all be truth, but how you see things is exposed in how you interact with others. It seems to me, thus far anyway, that you have only one agenda; to get others to help you, and if others do not, then they are not following Jesus. You began your email to me, stating: "I do not separate second marriage couples" and "I do not force head coverings"! How did you think any of this would apply to me, or that it has any bearing on Community building?&amp;nbsp; All I heard was - I am the power here and I am the leader and I decide all things! No dialog; no exchange of ideas; no questions! This sounds more like cult-building than Community. I know this is not the case, but others might see it this way: Share!&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p align="justify"&gt;&lt;font size="3"&gt;&lt;u&gt;Final reply from Jason:&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p align="justify"&gt;&lt;font size="2" face="Calibri"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;I like your detailed insight. I am building community. But here in Mexico. I am not building it through emails. Yes, my only intent in contacting you was the hope we would meet face to face and work with real people not through emails. I am not sure if you have run into Anabaptist circles but the first thing they will say is "where is your head covering", then "they must separate because they cant marry twice". So I cut to the chase. I have people waiting for me to take them to a village, pray for the sick, preach the gospel - needs of real life people weigh on us everyday. Take care my friend. Jason&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p align="justify"&gt;&lt;font size="2" face="Baskerville Old Face"&gt;At that time Jesus answered and said: I thank You, O Father, Lord of Heaven and earth, because You have hidden these things from the sophisticated and cunning, and revealed them to babes. Even so, Father, for so it seemed good in Your sight. All things are delivered to Me by My Father. And no one knows the Son except the Father. Nor does anyone know the Father except the Son, and the one to whom the Son will reveal Him. Come to Me all you who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take My yoke on you and learn of Me, for I am meek and lowly in heart, and you shall find rest to your souls. For My yoke is easy, and My burden is light. / Then Jesus spoke to the crowd and to His disciples, saying: The scribes and the Pharisees sit in Moses' seat. Therefore whatever they tell you to observe, observe and do. But do not do according to their works; for they say, and do not do. For they bind heavy and hard-to-carry burdens and lay them on men's shoulders. But they will not move them with one of their fingers. But they do all their works in order to be seen of men. They make their phylacteries broad and enlarge the borders of their garments. And they love the first couch at feasts, and the chief seats in the synagogues, and greetings in the market-places, and to be called, Rabbi! Rabbi! by men. But you must not be called Rabbi, for One is your teacher, Christ, and you are all brothers. And call no one your father on the earth, for One is your Father in Heaven. Nor be called teachers, for One is your Teacher, even Christ. But he who is greatest among you shall be your servant. And whoever shall exalt himself shall be abased, and he who shall humble himself shall be exalted. But woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you shut up the Kingdom of Heaven against men. For you neither go in, nor do you allow those entering to go in. (Matthew 11:25-30 &amp;amp; 23:1-13)&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p align="justify"&gt;&lt;font size="2"&gt;These words of Jesus were among the first things that went through my mind. Jason had only one interest; to get help. Why? He's obliged and overburdened. Why? He's not doing the work of the Lord Jesus Christ for the right reasons; he's merely following the precepts of Godless men who have been perpetuating long-distance proselytism for many generations. He is working from the flesh and not the Spirit. This does not mean that what he is doing is bad or even wrong, but I suspect the motives are not right, and his attitude reflects that reality. Will God use it for His will? Sure, but then, God uses everything and anyone within that sense. The seas part, the rocks will cry out and the donkey did speak. God don’t need us, and yet He is an opportunist as well. &lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p align="justify"&gt;&lt;font size="2"&gt;When we do the Lord's work, there is nothing else we want to do and nothing else we can do. His yoke is easy and His burden is light. How that translates here is simple; God does not need us to travel long distances so that His gospel word can be heard. There are thousands of Christian brothers and sisters in Mexico already. I write in my first book about the missionary pip on the proverbial collar, which is often prerequisite to the coveted Executive Pastoral. Oh, the distortions dark, that mammon begat! They do what they do to be seen of men, for it brings the praises of religious men: It's about ego!&amp;nbsp; &lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p align="justify"&gt;&lt;font size="2"&gt;Jason did not think much about the council I gave him; he did not see that he had, all he needed right there and right now. He only saw the small things that he is in need of now, and could not grasp the bigger picture: because there is none. He is there trying to serve simple people with modern westernized methodologies, and that is costly and time-consuming. But it takes much devotion, creative ingenuity, and a genuine sincerity to build &lt;a title="Anabaptist Ecovillage" href="http://AnabaptistEcovillage.webs.com/Community.html" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"&gt;Community&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p align="justify"&gt;&lt;font size="2"&gt;A leader is not the one seeking to be the man in charge, but rather, the one who is leading the Jesus Way. When we are mammon dependent, we live in fear, no matter how mild that fear is. Consequently, we revert to our nature, which is to take for ourselves first: In doing this, all other things that we do, we only do, to protect the self. Employees do whatever they must do, to keep their own jobs. They have no choice, unless they are wealthy, or live simply. If this means that they pretend to care for others, then that is what they do. They can be teachers, social workers, politicians or any others who get a paycheck because they work with or for other people. But you can be assured; they only care about themselves. As long as their checks are good, they are good. But the keyword within the word employer is the word ploy, which means a tactic, a ruse, a deception. &lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p align="justify"&gt;&lt;font size="2"&gt;God expects us to depend upon Him, from His provisions - His natural world. The mammon world (the money economy) is not of God, but is of man (and just because money is mentioned in scripture does not make it holy). If we want more than God intends to provide from His natural creation, then we are on our own. And today, this represents the bulk of humanity. This is why end-time events will be as traumatic and bloody as they are prophesied to be.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4445484402805001133-2913322851518618867?l=authorpaulandrewanderson.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://authorpaulandrewanderson.blogspot.com/feeds/2913322851518618867/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=4445484402805001133&amp;postID=2913322851518618867' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4445484402805001133/posts/default/2913322851518618867'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4445484402805001133/posts/default/2913322851518618867'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://authorpaulandrewanderson.blogspot.com/2011/01/mission-of-commission.html' title='The Mission of Commission!'/><author><name>Paul Andrew Anderson</name><uri>https://profiles.google.com/108695285633602344775</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='//lh3.googleusercontent.com/-XOgFVbPPIjQ/AAAAAAAAAAI/AAAAAAAAAPA/w94bSeleUtE/s512-c/photo.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4445484402805001133.post-8832021591583833285</id><published>2010-12-25T10:11:00.001-08:00</published><updated>2010-12-25T10:26:10.582-08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='ethnocentric'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='lifestyle'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='fossil fuels'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='addiction'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='intervention'/><title type='text'>Auto Addiction!</title><content type='html'>&lt;p style="text-align:justify"&gt;&lt;font face=Verdana size=2&gt; Normalization and ethnocentricity are what allows people, who exist in a state of Loveless indifference, to believe they actually care about others – any others! Because all humans have brain chemistry that generates emotion, most believe that they have the capacity for Love, but in fact, only few humans Love! Love is a verb; it is the sum of what we do, and more importantly, what we do not do, and emotions felt are irrelevant to that reality. As a child I can remember signs that read: Colored Not Welcome! I used to try to imagine just how utterly Godless and Loveless a person would have to be, to tolerate such brazen injustice and bigotry, until I gave up my planet-damaging employment and stopped driving cars and other acts of ecocide: I repented! Today I live very simple lifestyle, requiring very little energy, most of which, I provide. But I am (by choice) poor according to western stereotyping (the psychology of bigotry). Today, I could take those same signs, and line-out the word colored and put in its place, the poor! Indeed; humans have not changed or advanced by 1% in ten millennia! &lt;BR&gt; Auto addiction is a cultural phenomenon, an ethnocentric production and an ecocidal pandemic spreading globally. But as with all human problems throughout our history, indifference is what allows generations to go along, business as usual, consumed by self-interest and (thus) issuing only superficial protestations of injustices that do not directly affect self. Few humans will stand up publicly and say they just don't care, but they do so, with actions, and more so, with inaction. Denial and indifference are the root of all addiction behaviors, and the westernized consumerist theme is "I got mine, to hell with you"! &lt;BR&gt; Knowing what we know today, and either denying the evidence, or justifying committed lifestyles, will not alter the future, only ones perception of self-image. We pretend to care about abused animals or a feigned solidarity with the knowledge of blood diamonds, and yet, the monies you put into that gas pump is - and will continue to cause - immeasurable suffering (and premature death) of humans and animals globally, and they are not even comparable side-by-side in their scope! &lt;BR&gt; When a person says (or thinks) that they need a car or that they need to purchase fossil fuels, they are confessing openly (to all trained ears) that they really need psychological help; intervention. When we listen to an alcohol or drug addict (or food, porn, etc.), all the same self-justification sound-bites emerge: they all host the particular addicts theme but the core-behavior and language remains the same. Truth is subjective and is altered in direct proportion to ones personal needs and wants. All humans who need money to survive, must then exist in a perpetual state of compromise, which is a survival mechanism; it is intrinsic. Thus, every scientist on earth is in debt to someone, and as such, are employees of a corporation or government they must align with, one way or another: Compromise! &lt;BR&gt; After you have Not burned a single cup of gasoline (diesel, etc.) for a minimum of 2 years, you may actually be getting serious about proving to the rest of humanity (including progeny), that you are moving from indifference and into the beginnings of actually caring a small amount about someone besides yourself. Until that time, you are in denial about your addiction and how it affects others. You need long-term deep psychological counseling; you need intervention. Currently, such intervention is illegal, because the Judicial Industry, also extreme consumer/fuel addicts, also are in need of intervention, and will keep such acts illegal. It will take a large military action to intervene, just as we humans witnessed with Hitler’s act of genocide. Denial is a human trait and it does not matter if it’s a world leader or an entire nation.&lt;BR&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font face=Arial size=2&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://culturechange.org/issue13/autoaddict.html" target="_blank"&gt;http://culturechange.org/issue13/autoaddict.html&lt;/a&gt;&lt;BR&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.thirdeyemag.com/opinion/america%E2%80%99s-auto-addiction" target="_blank"&gt;http://www.thirdeyemag.com/opinion/america%E2%80%99s-auto-addiction&lt;/a&gt;&lt;BR&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.postcarbon.org/blog-post/82272-kicking-the-auto-addiction" target="_blank"&gt;http://www.postcarbon.org/blog-post/82272-kicking-the-auto-addiction&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4445484402805001133-8832021591583833285?l=authorpaulandrewanderson.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://authorpaulandrewanderson.blogspot.com/feeds/8832021591583833285/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=4445484402805001133&amp;postID=8832021591583833285' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4445484402805001133/posts/default/8832021591583833285'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4445484402805001133/posts/default/8832021591583833285'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://authorpaulandrewanderson.blogspot.com/2010/12/auto-addiction.html' title='Auto Addiction!'/><author><name>Paul Andrew Anderson</name><uri>https://profiles.google.com/108695285633602344775</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='//lh3.googleusercontent.com/-XOgFVbPPIjQ/AAAAAAAAAAI/AAAAAAAAAPA/w94bSeleUtE/s512-c/photo.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4445484402805001133.post-5013795109839291313</id><published>2010-11-10T07:51:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2010-11-24T08:23:26.684-08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='color blindness'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='ethnic'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='ethnicity'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='racism'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='race'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='bigotry'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='human genome'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='bigot'/><title type='text'>Race IS Bigotry!</title><content type='html'>&lt;p style="text-align:justify"&gt;&lt;font face=Verdana size=2&gt;As all intelligent humans now know, there is no such thing as race. The science of genetics has ruled it out as a viable concept. Therefore, race is psychological, not physiological! There simply is no scientific, medical empirical data to prove that (more than one) race exists in the human race. We are the human race; singular, and therefore we can no longer employ (current) socially acceptable terms such as "African-American" when referring to an individual with a high melanin count. The illusion of race today is based solely on skin melanin count; in the past it was ethnic, religious, regional, linguistic or other such superficial markers. &lt;BR&gt; But the perpetuation of race is big business; socio-culturally, it perpetuates the victim-class, and it makes the Attorney-class wealthy within the court-businesses of the Judicial Industry! In other words, people keep the race illusion going, by talking and writing about it in media formats, and in other ways: But it is this perpetuation, which is the truest form of bigotry! If you enable or accept or perpetuate the myth of race - for example, by requesting a person's ethnicity or race on an application – you are a bigot and are strengthening bigotry via that process! There's a big difference between a person who volitions to share about their ethnicity, as opposed to it being compulsory; this is unethical and needs to be illegal &amp; criminal. It is analogous to making a person prove they are male or female by revealing their genitals before they enter a gender-specific space such as a public restroom! What if they're pretending to be trans-gendered only to go into the little girls room? &lt;BR&gt; We can talk about ending racism, but it is analogous to talking about getting rid of the second moon; it does not exist and therefore the talk is purely fictional! And may I boldly say; you may need to seek professional help to deal with such delusions! You cannot eliminate something that does not exist! Indeed; until the myth of race is made a crime, the perpetuation of the myth is as certain as any other myth, which thrived and survived for thousands of years (study history). We need to criminalize any company or organization (employers, educators, bureaucracies, housing, etc.) that request or ask about a person's race or ethnicity. &lt;BR&gt; And our government needs to lead the way in ending the myth and criminalizing those bigots who perpetuate it. The only way to break this cycle of abuse is to make it a crime! The other way is to encourage (or force if necessary) educators to end the practice of requesting ethnicity data, and also to teach these realities in the classrooms of non-scientific courses such as sociology and psychology; to re-educate older teachers to this new teaching paradigm. All cycles must be broken while we are young and impressionable.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font face=Arial size=2&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Color_blindness_(race)" target="_blank"&gt;http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Color_blindness_(race)&lt;/a&gt;&lt;BR&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.discriminations.us/2007/05/decade_of_raceblind_admissions.html" target="_blank"&gt;www.discriminations.us/2007/05/decade_of_raceblind_admissions.html&lt;/a&gt;&lt;BR&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.ornl.gov/sci/techresources/Human_Genome/elsi/humanmigration.shtml#7" target="_blank"&gt;www.ornl.gov/sci/techresources/Human_Genome/elsi/humanmigration.shtml&lt;/a&gt;&lt;BR&gt;&lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Constitutional_colorblindness" target="_blank"&gt;http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Constitutional_colorblindness&lt;/a&gt;&lt;BR&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.nature.com/ng/journal/v36/n11s/full/ng1454.html" target="_blank"&gt;www.nature.com/ng/journal/v36/n11s/full/ng1454.html&lt;/a&gt;&lt;BR&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.lifesitenews.com/ldn/2010/sep/10091003.html" target="_blank"&gt;http://www.lifesitenews.com/ldn/2010/sep/10091003.html&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4445484402805001133-5013795109839291313?l=authorpaulandrewanderson.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://authorpaulandrewanderson.blogspot.com/feeds/5013795109839291313/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=4445484402805001133&amp;postID=5013795109839291313' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4445484402805001133/posts/default/5013795109839291313'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4445484402805001133/posts/default/5013795109839291313'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://authorpaulandrewanderson.blogspot.com/2010/11/race-is-bigotry.html' title='Race IS Bigotry!'/><author><name>Paul Andrew Anderson</name><uri>https://profiles.google.com/108695285633602344775</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='//lh3.googleusercontent.com/-XOgFVbPPIjQ/AAAAAAAAAAI/AAAAAAAAAPA/w94bSeleUtE/s512-c/photo.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4445484402805001133.post-1308022721054323484</id><published>2010-10-14T08:25:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2010-10-14T08:37:14.640-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Critical period hypothesis'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='learning'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Logic'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='common sense'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='aptitude'/><title type='text'>Blog U: The wheels go round - and come off?</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://www.insidehighered.com/blogs/getting_to_green/the_wheels_go_round_and_round_and_it_comes_off_here_and_how_and_why"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.insidehighered.com/blogs/getting_to_green/the_wheels_go_round_and_round_and_it_comes_off_here_and_how_and_why"&gt;Blog U: The wheels go round - and come off?&lt;/a&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: normal; "&gt;&lt;b&gt;My Reply:&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Generically utilizing the paradigm of &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Critical_period_hypothesis"&gt;Critical Period Hypothesis&lt;/a&gt;, this same window of opportunity for logical (or practical) thinking exists as well! Being raised on the forested brim of suburbia-meets-rural, we had the advantage of K-mart's and field-cows! We built forts out of pallets and tree houses from scrap lumber. We got to engage the natural world; we hunted &amp;amp; fished; we rode dirt bikes and broke bones; we played sports and did other activities that forced us to learn of the natural laws - naturally! The ability (for the brain) to see the square peg and the square hole, and in 1 second, know what goes where, is not as common a brain function as one might believe! My adage used to be this: "Common sense - you're born with it or you die without it"! I.E: that it's acquired very naturally; even subconsciously, in one's youth, and if not, then it was/is never acquired! But that is probably not entirely true, though it's common; more so than (un) common sense is! And so, to offer a class that will provide what is fundamentally a (physiological) brain function, may be futile! But let us know how that goes!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4445484402805001133-1308022721054323484?l=authorpaulandrewanderson.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://authorpaulandrewanderson.blogspot.com/feeds/1308022721054323484/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=4445484402805001133&amp;postID=1308022721054323484' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4445484402805001133/posts/default/1308022721054323484'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4445484402805001133/posts/default/1308022721054323484'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://authorpaulandrewanderson.blogspot.com/2010/10/blog-u-wheels-go-round-and-round-and-it.html' title='Blog U: The wheels go round - and come off?'/><author><name>Paul Andrew Anderson</name><uri>https://profiles.google.com/108695285633602344775</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='//lh3.googleusercontent.com/-XOgFVbPPIjQ/AAAAAAAAAAI/AAAAAAAAAPA/w94bSeleUtE/s512-c/photo.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4445484402805001133.post-118373230392042321</id><published>2010-07-12T13:25:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2010-07-12T13:35:33.871-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='unconditional surrender'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='child abuse'/><title type='text'>Christian Child Abuse?</title><content type='html'>&lt;font size=2 face=Verdana&gt;&lt;div align=justify&gt;&lt;a href="http://christianchildabuse.blogspot.com" target="_blank"&gt;ChristianChildAbuse.blogspot.com&lt;/A&gt; &lt;B&gt;Anathema; again Anathema!&lt;/B&gt;&lt;BR&gt;I doubt if this will get posted at this blog, since it counters the very title of the blog, but the idea that the Lord Jesus Christ would abuse children is anathema; it is to blaspheme God! And of course, most everyone who thinks they are Christian are not, and so, the oxymoron - "Christian child abuse" teaches us that the person who thought it, has not yet died to this life and thus, Spiritually Transformed by the renewing of their mind, as a consequence of unconditional surrender unto the supreme Lordship of Jesus Christ! An actual Christ-centric individual would slit their own throat and drop dead to the bloody floor, the moment their brain seriously pondered the thought of abusing any child under any possible set of circumstances!&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font size=2 face=Georgia&gt;&lt;BR&gt;Matthew 18:2-6 And Jesus called a little child to Him and set him in their midst, and said: Truly I say to you, unless you are converted and become as little children, you shall not enter into the Kingdom of Heaven. Therefore, whoever shall humble himself like this little child, this one is the greater in the Kingdom of Heaven.  And whoever shall receive one such little child in My name receives Me. But whoever shall offend one of these little ones who believes in Me, it would be better for him that an ass's millstone were hung around his neck, and he be sunk in the depth of the sea! 19:13-15 Then little children were brought to Him, that He should put His hands on them and pray. And the disciples rebuked them. But Jesus said: Allow the little children to come to Me, and do not forbid them; for of such is the Kingdom of Heaven. And He laid His hands on them, and departed from there.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4445484402805001133-118373230392042321?l=authorpaulandrewanderson.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://authorpaulandrewanderson.blogspot.com/feeds/118373230392042321/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=4445484402805001133&amp;postID=118373230392042321' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4445484402805001133/posts/default/118373230392042321'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4445484402805001133/posts/default/118373230392042321'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://authorpaulandrewanderson.blogspot.com/2010/07/christian-child-abuse.html' title='Christian Child Abuse?'/><author><name>Paul Andrew Anderson</name><uri>https://profiles.google.com/108695285633602344775</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='//lh3.googleusercontent.com/-XOgFVbPPIjQ/AAAAAAAAAAI/AAAAAAAAAPA/w94bSeleUtE/s512-c/photo.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4445484402805001133.post-5374342861527297967</id><published>2010-07-01T12:28:00.001-07:00</published><updated>2010-07-12T13:39:56.275-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='freedom of the press'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='freedom of speech'/><title type='text'>Freedom of Press Violates Freedom of Speech?</title><content type='html'>&lt;font size=2 face=Arial&gt;&lt;div align=justify&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Yahoo News is brought to you by Yahoo Finance!

The truth will emerge from what is there, and (more so) what is not! &lt;BR&gt; &lt;B&gt;My post to this news story! &lt;BR&gt;(&lt;a href="http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20100701/ap_on_bi_go_ec_fi/us_economy" target="_blank"&gt;http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20100701/ap_on_bi_go_ec_fi/us_economy&lt;/A&gt;)&lt;/B&gt;&lt;BR&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font size=2 face=Verdana&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As you can see from most all the responses, almost no one understands our government. No US President had anything substantial to do with the economy! The Obama-bashing is more about race than about the Presidency. He is (after all) just one federal employee among some 30,000 others! A Democratic Presidency is not a dictatorship; if it were, then blaming this one person would have (at least) some credibility. But blame-shifting is always intended to take the target off ones self! Obama has no real power at all; he is the puppet-front for the Capitalist Plutocracy! And you, as participant in bashing him, actually confirm this fact! &lt;P&gt; This is a consumer-driven economy, where demand drives supply (not the other way around). If you buy non-American things, you send dollars abroad, perpetuating the economic down-turn! For 1 example: There would have never been off-shore drilling if you, to gasoline consumer, was not first creating the demand for it! If you but it, you're to blame for any fossil fuel-related ecocide that occurs on this planet! It's easy to point fingers away from self, but we all know the end of that colloquialism! &lt;P&gt; What made this country so profitable (post-WW2) was that we invented and/or made (and even had to export) most everything. But the wealthy profiteers knew that an inflated dollar would make them ever-richer, and did so in spite of the national economy - rich people do not care about that anyway! It used to be that a US hundred dollar bill was equal to a thousand + purchase-dollars in (South American and Philippine) pesos - those days are gone! The dollar is dying on the vine, and, it is the way US consumers - consume - that is making it so! Once the gold standard was abolished (search Wikipedia: History of the United States dollar), the end of its reign had begun! So, blame away, it will not change anything! When you are ready to make a change, buy American if you can, quit consuming fossil fuels, stay out of debt and live a simple life!&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4445484402805001133-5374342861527297967?l=authorpaulandrewanderson.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://authorpaulandrewanderson.blogspot.com/feeds/5374342861527297967/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=4445484402805001133&amp;postID=5374342861527297967' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4445484402805001133/posts/default/5374342861527297967'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4445484402805001133/posts/default/5374342861527297967'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://authorpaulandrewanderson.blogspot.com/2010/07/yahoos-freedom-of-press-violates.html' title='Freedom of Press Violates Freedom of Speech?'/><author><name>Paul Andrew Anderson</name><uri>https://profiles.google.com/108695285633602344775</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='//lh3.googleusercontent.com/-XOgFVbPPIjQ/AAAAAAAAAAI/AAAAAAAAAPA/w94bSeleUtE/s512-c/photo.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4445484402805001133.post-4547376041510576791</id><published>2010-06-28T11:40:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2010-07-13T12:01:51.580-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Honolulu Star Advertiser'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Plutocracy'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Capitalism'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Westernization'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Huge tent city takes root'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='homelessness'/><title type='text'>Honolulu tent city takes root</title><content type='html'>&lt;font size=2 face=Arial&gt;&lt;div align=justify&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Honolulu Star Advertiser ran a post called &lt;a href="http://www.staradvertiser.com/news/hawaiinews/20100627_Huge_tent_city_takes_root.html" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;B&gt;Huge tent city takes root&lt;/A&gt;&lt;/B&gt;; a trite on the case of homelessness on Oahu! I wrote this comment, but of course as I expected, they omitted it! Why? Truth hurts more than any lie ever could! The irony is that I found the link from "The Hawaii Free Press" website! And as we all know, &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Freedom_of_speech" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;B&gt;freedom of speech&lt;/A&gt;&lt;/B&gt; or the press is all but non-existent; it is limited to the employees of "The Press", which represent about a 10th of 1% of the population of any given point on Earth!&lt;BR&gt; I have an account to post there (&lt;a href="http://disqus.com/PaulAndrewAnderson" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;B&gt;Disqus.com/PaulAndrewAnderson&lt;/A&gt;&lt;/B&gt;) and I post at other locations as well! Nonetheless; as you can see (below) I did not curse or say anything that would affect anyone, except (of course) the emotionally retarded, who suffer from the symptoms of that illness; one of which is hypersensitivity! An emotionally mature person learns that "sticks and stones will break bones but names (or words) will never harm me" somewhere between 9 and 19 years old. But the emotional retard lives and dies as an emotional retard, just as a mentally retarded person lives/dies in that state (hence the word retardation - the cessation or attenuation of maturation)! And so, all that is published, broadcast or printed in any "Press" is limited, omitted, edited and restricted by those who work there (what they cleverly label etiquette); or, by those who finance them! And in fact, this editorial reply touches on just such a nerve:&lt;/font&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;font size=2 face=Verdana&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Much of what is shared herein, is thoughtful and even good ideas, from within the framework of the Westernized mindset. Everyone should have to work for their food, shelter and clothing, but what's happening here, is the perpetuation of the Dominion - the continued promotion of Westernizing Earth! No one should be uneducated, but we must stop ourselves from thinking this; that a publicly funded education is all there is! Teaching the next generation how to continue as the last, will not solve the problems inherent of them (those who don't learn from the past are doomed to repeat it)! We Amish have none of these problems, with the exception of interacting with the Dominion; they demand tax monies so we can exist on Gods planet, and so, we comply to avoid fighting with them! It is not worth it! But to teach our children how to Not labor; how to Not sow or plant, harvest or build or sew or fish? How will making more money-dependent, grocery-store dependent humans, going to resolve this issue? It cannot - It will not! &lt;P&gt; How will Hawaii survive with even more people who do not build or plant or grow or harvest? Standing there with Caesars money and expecting others to do all the labor? The core of the problem with the entire Westernized mindset, was spoken by Jesus when He said: "Render unto Caesar the things that are Caesars!" He was not justifying taxation (Takerism), He was discouraging participation with Roman Imperialism! And as we all know; all the Colonizers were mere extensions of the Romanesque! They are the servants of mammon! And a billion decades in outer darkness will not cure them, and so, it is unrealistic to think you or I can correct their vision (in the here &amp; now)! They are doomed! All we can do, is to do as Jesus taught us; to avoid the Dominion as much as we can; to give them what they command of us when they do so (because they'll take it by force in any event), and to live apart from them as much as we can! Trade, barter, labor and share: This is the only plan! &lt;P&gt; When Jesus returns, He will (at some point in time) revert Earth back to its pre-industrialized state; its God-State! Interim; we must learn to live content with food, shelter and clothing! If not, then we are as addicted as are those expecting us to join-in with (them and) Caesars plan for living upon Earth! I.E.: If you think more money will solve your personal problems, then you are just part of the bigger problem! Change your mind; take on the Mind of Christ! But do not seek that wisdom from among those who also survive off the taxation (or tithe) of its followship! Leaders labor with their hands, the things that are good! Everyone else seeks a cut; a profit; a hand in the proverbial pie! And in profiteer economics, there must be the poor and the rich. In inflationary economics, land is a profit-pig to in-debt the next generation; to defer ones excess onto progeny! And Hawaii (over the last 7 decades) is an excellent demonstration of this fact! But it is not sustainable! And when it ends, it will be bloody! This is why you must break your dependency upon the mammon-providers, to the best of your ability! Fair warning! Aloha!&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4445484402805001133-4547376041510576791?l=authorpaulandrewanderson.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://authorpaulandrewanderson.blogspot.com/feeds/4547376041510576791/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=4445484402805001133&amp;postID=4547376041510576791' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4445484402805001133/posts/default/4547376041510576791'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4445484402805001133/posts/default/4547376041510576791'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://authorpaulandrewanderson.blogspot.com/2010/06/honolulu-tent-city-takes-root.html' title='Honolulu tent city takes root'/><author><name>Paul Andrew Anderson</name><uri>https://profiles.google.com/108695285633602344775</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='//lh3.googleusercontent.com/-XOgFVbPPIjQ/AAAAAAAAAAI/AAAAAAAAAPA/w94bSeleUtE/s512-c/photo.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4445484402805001133.post-96417407543446398</id><published>2010-04-22T12:33:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2010-11-24T08:44:01.353-08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Obama'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Inflation'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Robin Hood Economics'/><title type='text'>Inflationary Economics!</title><content type='html'>&lt;font size=2 face=Verdana&gt;&lt;div align=justify&gt;&lt;br /&gt;For some reason, people still believe that US Presidents are Kings or Despots! It is simpleton to target one person, but in fact, those with true power, were made manifest in this economic depression; banks and other Capitalists (Stock Marketeers and other mammon profiteers)! Since the US is a Capitalist Oligarchic &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plutocracy" target="_blank"&gt;Plutocracy&lt;/a&gt;, the bottom-line is always the top-priority: Profit! And with ethics long-gone, profiteering is not only legal, but it is now seen as a right! Exploitation and subjugation only changed forms! &lt;P&gt; Your job is irrelevant, unless it can benefit the profit-pigs! If everyone bought things made in the USA (the only true act of patriotism), we would need more people to fill the subsequent jobs! This is a demand-drives-supply economy; the only people to blame are those that can be seen at all US retail check-out lanes (that is; you!) buying things made by non-Americans! &lt;P&gt; Outsourcing to foreigners (and hiring undocumented workers here) has been going on for a century folks, and it gets worse every decade! And buying foreign oil is the worse possible thing we can do! All terrorism is funded by that very resource-pool! Nonetheless; inflation (inflationary economics) is unsustainable, and, everyone cannot grow up and be whatever they want. Imagine a culture where everyone is either a dentist, a lawyer or a trader! Who will do all the other jobs? The remaining 95% of humanity, that's who! And they are! &lt;P&gt; If you want your job back, you'd best get a passport, learn Mandarin and Korean, and then plan your move! Another more plausible option would be to tax all imports so high that it would be more profitable to build it or make it here! But the profit-pigs want cheap labor to increase their wealth, and so, that will never happen: Why? Because our politicians have no such power; they are the public mouthpiece of the Plutocracy! Welcome to the US of China!&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4445484402805001133-96417407543446398?l=authorpaulandrewanderson.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://authorpaulandrewanderson.blogspot.com/feeds/96417407543446398/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=4445484402805001133&amp;postID=96417407543446398' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4445484402805001133/posts/default/96417407543446398'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4445484402805001133/posts/default/96417407543446398'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://authorpaulandrewanderson.blogspot.com/2010/04/inflationary-economics.html' title='Inflationary Economics!'/><author><name>Paul Andrew Anderson</name><uri>https://profiles.google.com/108695285633602344775</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='//lh3.googleusercontent.com/-XOgFVbPPIjQ/AAAAAAAAAAI/AAAAAAAAAPA/w94bSeleUtE/s512-c/photo.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4445484402805001133.post-8447312868463815982</id><published>2010-01-16T15:03:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2010-01-18T19:33:21.155-08:00</updated><title type='text'>Pat Robertson: Haiti quake result of 'pact with the devil'</title><content type='html'>&lt;font size=2 face=Verdana&gt;&lt;div align=justify&gt;&lt;B&gt;Response to: &lt;a href="http://www.honoluluadvertiser.com/article/20100113/BREAKING/100113071/1352" target="_blank" title="honoluluadvertiser.com"&gt;National News Report!&lt;/A&gt;&lt;/B&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Robertson is a soothsayer; an angels &amp; demons, potions &amp; promises profiteer!

Is horrifying! When Jesus rebuked the Pharisees, He did so because they publicly defrauded God; they were false representations; false witnesses! This rebuke is likewise! An actual Christian is Christ-like! Not everyone who says Lord will ever see the Kingdom of Heaven! Claiming to be a Christian, and demonstrating Christ in lifestyle, is often counter-intuitive! Christ would have never thought to subjugate, colonize or conquer the Africans; the Mexicans; the Indians; the Hawaiians; the Alaskans! There is the radically Transformed Soul (a rebirth), and then, there is religion! CBN is just another mammon-centric religion-business, and there are a quarter-billion others!

The evil one's have been masquerading in Christian-ware for many decades now; I'm done being silent! It is time for the Spiritually Transformed to take back the name of Christ, from the Religionist's who have been prostituting God (2nd Corinthians 4)! I (too) saw the media coverage on this, and after I quit laughing, I got angered. The anger (building for some time now) comes from the millions who trash the name and the reputation of my Lord Jesus Christ. Let me say upfront, Rick Painter has no concept of Christ; he is clueless! &lt;br /&gt;It used to be that the Godless-religious would (at least) put on a better show from those they abused, but as time passes, the need to be 99% truth and 1% lies, is no longer necessary. You can be a total fraud, and the gullible masses will throw money at you as a representative of God, and even the most evil among us! Rick was arrogant about his determination to live anti-Christ! And since he and his minions have not got within a million miles of the parking lot, of the ballpark, of the concept of what Christ might be like, they have no point of reference: Brazenly clueless! They exist in pitch-dark blindness! Obviously, they've never consumed Scripture! And if they have, then I'm back where I started: &lt;br /&gt;&lt;B&gt;Get thee behind me, Satan!&lt;/B&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Much of Jesus’ ministry was about Love: Be it neighbor, enemies, and so on! Again, you either get it, or are oblivious; seared, hardened and unreachable! A "church" is in a community for only one reason: To be the light among a darkened world; to build eternal relationships! They are &lt;B&gt;not&lt;/B&gt; there to expel their egos upon the neighborhood! This church (like most nowadays) is a total failure; has been since day one! They are there for themselves, and their in-your-face determination to live anti-Christ among their neighbors, is the fruit-evidence! Any person, who has been conquered by the Indwelling Holy Spirit, for even a minute, would weep at the knowledge that they were causing strife with neighbor! &lt;br /&gt;When I think of a religion playing a loud recording that can be heard all around, I think of the Muslims when I was overseas! Indeed! These kinds are trapped in religious tradition (darkness): They're not just Godless, they are utterly Godless; they are anti-Christ (1st John 2 / 2nd Corinthians 11)! Jesus was angered by this kind, when He was here (Matthew 15): They're constipated with dogma, and cannot free themselves! &lt;br /&gt;The reason I write about this particular topic now? To make a public declaration: These people are - in no way, shape or form - representative of the Lord Jesus Christ: Not even close! If anything, the polar opposite of all that's represented under the name &lt;B&gt;Jesus Christ&lt;/B&gt;! He suffered and died on the cross for neighbor; that fact is either the sum of your being; or, you're as Godless (and thus as Loveless) as it is humanly possible! It would have never entered Jesus' mind to take neighbor to the Godless courts! To think it is being done, in/under His name, over something so pathetically petty, is staggering to me! I'd say "shame on you" if you were a dedicated atheist: And so, to call yourself Christian? &lt;br /&gt;&lt;B&gt;Get thee behind me, Satan!&lt;/B&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It is very easy to label ones self with a title! But let it be known here; An actual real Christian looks, acts, thinks and demonstrates the lifestyle of - that's right - &lt;B&gt;The Lord Jesus Christ&lt;/B&gt;! For you to believe that anyone is Christian, just for claiming it? Shame on you! That's how a simpleton thinks! No actual Christian has ever sued a neighbor: It has never happened; it never will happen! The point I am making, is the distinction between the Disciples and followers of Jesus Christ, versus the Religionist's (the Godless-religious: Matthew 7) who use &amp; abuse His name, and adulterate His ministry!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://PaulAndrewAnderson.webs.com/neighbor.html" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;b&gt;PaulAndrewAnderson.webs.com/neighbor.html&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4445484402805001133-1991089275768786989?l=authorpaulandrewanderson.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://authorpaulandrewanderson.blogspot.com/feeds/1991089275768786989/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=4445484402805001133&amp;postID=1991089275768786989' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4445484402805001133/posts/default/1991089275768786989'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4445484402805001133/posts/default/1991089275768786989'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://authorpaulandrewanderson.blogspot.com/2009/11/cathedral-christ-king-bell-ringer.html' title='cathedral Christ king Bell ringer lawsuit'/><author><name>Paul Andrew Anderson</name><uri>https://profiles.google.com/108695285633602344775</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='//lh3.googleusercontent.com/-XOgFVbPPIjQ/AAAAAAAAAAI/AAAAAAAAAPA/w94bSeleUtE/s512-c/photo.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4445484402805001133.post-6376043085098047599</id><published>2009-04-22T11:30:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2010-01-18T19:15:45.521-08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Baptism'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Anabaptist'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Catholic'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='de-baptism'/><title type='text'>Secular Britons seek 'de-baptism'</title><content type='html'>&lt;font size=2 face=Verdana&gt;&lt;div align=justify&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.google.com/hostednews/afp/article/ALeqM5g5Y1UR8RFqEzGGAb_wDUeEDuwHjw" target="_blank" title="Google News"&gt;&lt;b&gt;RE: News Story from AFP!&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Catholics and many (proxy) Protestants believe that if you sprinkle water over an infants head, this miraculously does something.

Truman Hospital in Independence, Missouri, and today walk the Truman pathway's throughout this Historically Land-marked small town: I'm as American as it's humanly possible. What makes this country so unique and special, is its diversity, both in peoples and in ideals. Unfortunately, the simpleton rhetoric (that I've endured since childhood) that we are the "best country in the world", or in any other way superior to any other piece of Gods globe, demonstrates the hubris (and thus Godlessness) of the multitudes herein! This nation has never been a Godly nation, and is today, well below Sodom in Gods eye! Patriotism is nationalistic narcissism! &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It's not the piece of land above sea level that has any meaning to God, but rather, the Soul-condition of His sapient creations who inhabit it. Earth is just a planet, and America is just a continent, but something happens to the Godless human; pride! It is pride that is the most powerful force in the universe; even more powerful than God Himself. The proof? For God so Loved the world (humanity) that He gave His life to redeem them; to respire that Soul; to aid in their transformation from mere bipedal hominids, into Spirit-conquered, Christ-centric beings who far-transcend the primate within. What happens instead, is that human pride keeps the Holy Spirit away from the hominid, and so religion becomes just another emotion-centric (pride) element of the human experience (indeed, experiment)! Without God-in-us, the Godless (and the Godless-religious), suffer from competitivism, greed, superiority, self-centric, bigotry, materialism, patriotism, inequity, adversarialism, and every other unsustainable lifestyle witnessed in this, the Laodicean Age. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As it was in the days of Sodom, so it shall be in the end-times (Jesus said); and in those days humans were ravenous, Godless, predatory and self-centric. The birth of Capitalism, the Industrial Revolution and the inflationary economy that was really its true goal, was designed to make the rich, richer. Pathological greed is a deep mental illness, and those infected will live and die, utterly oblivious to the condition. It is like the severely mentally retarded; they may feel different, but they are otherwise oblivious to their condition and therefore, cannot transcend it. All mental illness is marked by the inability to make logical decisions; that those who are ill will harm themselves, or others. Now, to knowingly harm the entire planet (or worse, to deny your doing so), far trumps the mere harming of ones self. And yet, we have countless millions of desperately sick humans on Earth, right now, who will live and die, utterly oblivious to their destructiveness to this planet and current and future generations of humans. And even if the data was shown to them, their indifference (utter Lovelessness) would prohibit them from any level of self-awareness; any enlightenment that does not include gaining one more dollar, or squandering just one more gallon of gasoline. These people do not need a platform in which to extol their mental illness, they need to be treated as any mentally ill person. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And so, until this injustice is dealt with in the total domination of Earth by the great dictator, the Lord Jesus Christ in the Second Advent, the political leadership must intervene and take all the toys from the mentally ill, and redistribute those resources to those without. Is this socialism? Sure! What do you think this entire article is about? Capitalism is a global demonstration of greed and excess, and its inflationary economics is unsustainable; that is, it will end (100% certainly). But we can buy some time, in the meantime, as we await the end of Capitalism, and ring in the New Socialism.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://PaulAndrewAnderson.org/robinhood.html"&gt;PaulAndrewAnderson.org/robinhood.html&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4445484402805001133-3046686478325859409?l=authorpaulandrewanderson.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://authorpaulandrewanderson.blogspot.com/feeds/3046686478325859409/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=4445484402805001133&amp;postID=3046686478325859409' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4445484402805001133/posts/default/3046686478325859409'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4445484402805001133/posts/default/3046686478325859409'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://authorpaulandrewanderson.blogspot.com/2008/10/robin-hood-economics-blue-collar.html' title='Robin Hood Economics | Blue Collar Politics'/><author><name>Paul Andrew Anderson</name><uri>https://profiles.google.com/108695285633602344775</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='//lh3.googleusercontent.com/-XOgFVbPPIjQ/AAAAAAAAAAI/AAAAAAAAAPA/w94bSeleUtE/s512-c/photo.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4445484402805001133.post-5597068359218095510</id><published>2008-08-21T15:31:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2010-01-18T19:13:29.519-08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='freedom Hawaii'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Hawaiian Nation'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Hawaiian Kingdom'/><title type='text'>TO: Honored Leaders of the Hawaiian Kingdom</title><content type='html'>&lt;font size=2 face=Verdana&gt;&lt;div align=justify&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_Py40ShaxXM8/SPuM7nDp0wI/AAAAAAAAACg/w3lPY1DJXuk/s1600-h/WaianaeWoods9.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_Py40ShaxXM8/SPuM7nDp0wI/AAAAAAAAACg/w3lPY1DJXuk/s200/WaianaeWoods9.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5258951945609663234" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;B&gt;TO: Honored Leaders of the Hawaiian Kingdom&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Aloha. I am Paul Anderson, an Author and Anabaptist Pastor, and a published advocate for the Hawaiian Kingdom. I was blessed to spend a year in the forests of the upper Waianae Valley; this is precious lands still in a natural state, and I walked among many ancient Hawaiian constructs. I am making every effort to contact Hawaiian officials and/or representatives, and I have visited many websites about the Hawaiian Kingdom, some of which have no way to communicate (they're monologues). It is useful information, but without a two-way communication, they are mere notices, and are ineffective. I pray that this letter will reach the appropriate Hawaiian peoples, or will be passed-on to them, on my behalf. This is very important, and I do not want to reveal too much in an open letter, but I ask that this gets into rightful hands.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As an Anabaptist, I am not a descendant of the Catholics or the Protestants (those who conquered your islands), and so I do not recognize either of these entities, as truly Christian. Since the Lord Jesus Christ would have never considered any form of conquering, coercion or domination, all those who did so in Jesus' name, are not true representatives of Yahshua Messiah: The Lord Jesus Christ (as He is called in modern English). What I hope to do, is to make an Olelo video addressing Hawaiians on this issue; to make a clear distinction between Christ-followers and the Godless-religious, who are just Imperialist Capitalists who came to this Kingdom and dominated and conquered it. True Anabaptist's are not Evangelists; that is, we do not sell our faith to others: Those who are called by God, come, and those who are not called do not follow. It is not our place to convince others to follow where they are not called. The fact is; If only Christ-followers came to the Kingdom of Hawaii, they would have established true and Loving relationships with the Hawaiians; they would have lived in Community with them; they would have honored their beliefs, lifestyles and customs. Humans do not have to agree on religious beliefs, to live in peace and harmony with one another. For instance, I do not believe that the land or earthly elements are gods, but I do believe that everything in nature is Gods divine creation, and just like the Native American (Indians), Anabaptist's respect and protect the land in its natural state. The Amish are Anabaptist's, who do not exploit the land, most do not use electricity or gasoline. God guides and leads His sheep, but as for the rest; lifestyle and consumer choices should be self-evident!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I am here in Hawaii, but I refuse to finance those who have created the injustices to the Hawaiians. Therefore, I do not pay rents (and thus I'm homeless by choice), because paying their large fees only supports those who have inflated the land here, to the point that Natives cannot afford to live here. This is not an accident! Additionally, I would never consider buying Hawaiian lands; I do not see them as "for sale" to begin with, nor will I remain living in Hawaii without the expressed permission of Kingdom representatives, official or not, for much longer.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The efforts of all those involved in the Hawaiian movement are admirable, but the only way to beat the beast, is to stop feeding him. Capitalism is a consumer-driven economy; no buyers, no market! I have many solutions that will help to gain victory, but they are all peaceful, for we as Anabaptist's are non-violent (non-militant)! Gandhi got Britain out of India, and so can the Hawaiians, if it is done wisely. Violence and anger will give the Godless Capitalists the excuse they need to arrest and deport Native Hawaiians (which is already happening), thus breaking up the unity of the effort, just as they did with the Native Americans, Alaskans and Mexicans.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The first thing I would like to do, is to address in a conversation, between myself and the Honorable Leaders of the Hawaiian Kingdom, to make it known that the true Christian community does not endorse nor approve of this blatant injustice, and to make a formal apology on behalf of the false Caucasian Christians who came here to plunder your lands and natural resources (as we see today, with the profiteering real estate inflationist's). A distinction must be made, for these are misrepresentations of our faith, and as such, an injustice for us as well. No reply is necessary, that's up to you. This needed to be posted so that it is announced publicly.

Human error is surely possible for the players of the game, but it is nearly impossible for the person who is merely looking at the game. If it were possible, then the miscalls on the field would not be recognized by any other human looking either! How can someone in the stands, or someone watching on TV, see something instantly, that a guy standing 10 feet from it, cannot? In other words, there is no human error in looking at something, unless you are just not looking. Human error is about bad decision making versus heads-up baseball; hand-eye coordination in catching and hitting, things like that! In the MLB, you are either looking, or, you should be taken out of the Majors (and sent down to the minors)! It's analogous to calling alphabet flash cards; it does not matter how many cards are flashed, if you are looking at them, you should be able to call them correctly 100% of the time. And if not 100%, very nearly that. Until there are better callers, instant replay should be used just like it is in the NFL; not for calling strikes and balls, but for most everything else. Implementing instant replay would eliminate unfairness (the possibility of a umpire cleverly miscalling the game, for profit or from anger); there is no such thing as human error, in merely looking! From an amateur hardball player!&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4445484402805001133-1869352873698570941?l=authorpaulandrewanderson.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://authorpaulandrewanderson.blogspot.com/feeds/1869352873698570941/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=4445484402805001133&amp;postID=1869352873698570941' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4445484402805001133/posts/default/1869352873698570941'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4445484402805001133/posts/default/1869352873698570941'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://authorpaulandrewanderson.blogspot.com/2008/06/mlb-instant-replay.html' title='MLB instant replay'/><author><name>Paul Andrew Anderson</name><uri>https://profiles.google.com/108695285633602344775</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='//lh3.googleusercontent.com/-XOgFVbPPIjQ/AAAAAAAAAAI/AAAAAAAAAPA/w94bSeleUtE/s512-c/photo.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry></feed>
