As you might guess, I'm not a big fan of television. My motto is "Turn off, tune out, and drop in." It's a play on the quote by the late Dr. Timothy Leary. I mean it to encourage people to turn off their televisions, tune out the advertisers and mass media, and get themselves involved with their neighbors in civic life.
Books
Holy Bible, the Dune series, A Supposedly Fun Thing I Will Never Do Again, Flowers for Algernon, Fear and Loathing on the Campaign Trail '72, One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest, On the Road, Infinite Jest, and whatever I'm currently reading.
Heroes
My mother, Martin Luther King, Jr., Tom Wolfe, Mark Twain, Ken Kesey, and Hunter S. Thompson.

My name is Jay Fields. I am a Marine Corps veteran, a progressive activist, and politician. Everything that you'd like to know about me you can find here if you take the time to read and look around. I spend a lot of my time thinking about how things could be done better, more efficiently, and less expensively. Iconoclastic and eccentric, I can display a wicked sense of humor at times.
I believe citizens need to overcome apathy and get involved in their communities. Each month I redesign my page, change up the Top 40, and in row 7 I feature a variety of organizations or people that I feel are particularly worthy of attention.
Too many people just wake up in the morning, go to work, then come home and turn on the tube, basically living their lives in a prison of their own making. So get up off it and hit the ground running. The world is waiting to be changed for the better, and you CAN make a difference!
Ever wonder what government corruption and inefficiency looks like? Thanks to FEMA and the Bush administration, now you know.
"The truth about 9/11 is that we don’t know the truth about 9/11, and we should." ~Lt. Col. Robert M. Bowman, Ph.D. (USAF, ret.)
On September 11th, 2001 life in America changed . . . and not for the better.
9/11 has been an excuse to declare an illegal war against a sovereign nation, remove our liberties, give hundreds of billions of dollars in funding to the military and intelligence communities, allow massive profiteering by corporations, and made it "un-American" to question the motives and actions of President Bush's administration.
Over the past few years, information has emerged regarding the events of 9/11 that not only point to a cover-up, but government collusion as well:
+Incidents that shockingly point to government foreknowledge and interference with the prevention of the attacks and apprehension of al-Qaeda 'operatives' in the US have surfaced through whistleblowers within the FBI.
+Many eyewitness accounts to explosions occurring in the Towers before the planes hit, while they were burning, right before they came down, and as they were collapsing have been aired and published.
+Conflicts between the official story and eyewitness accounts regarding the Washington DC and Pennsylvania crashes have been heavily cited throughout the media.

All things relating to education, patience, help from superiors.The Hierophant is often considered to be a Guardian Angel.
The Hierophant's purpose is to bring the spiritual down to Earth. Where the High Priestess between her two pillars deals with realms beyond this Earth, the Hierophant (or High Priest) deals with worldly problems. He is well suited to do this because he strives to create harmony and peace in the midst of a crisis. The Hierophant's only problem is that he can be stubborn and hidebound. At his best, he is wise and soothing, at his worst, he is an unbending traditionalist.
THERE WAS NOT MANY THERE MY FRIEND THAT DID OPEN UP TO PEOPLE MY AGE AND SOMETHING THAT WOULD OPEN UP FOR PEOPLE MY AGE. SO I WILL JUST KEEP ON LOOKING UNTIL I FIND SOMETHING!! YOU HAVE A GREAT DAY!!
Myspace Days of Prayer Prayer for May 6,2008 Category: Religion and Philosophy
This week we will have two subjects for our prayer.First we will be praying for India,and we will also include Myanmar in this weeks prayer.
First India;India is the worlds largest democracy,yet lately it has grown more and more repressive.There has been a growth in anti conversion laws aimed at christian evangelism.There has also been the spread of both radical islam and radical hindi sects.All of which has led to a severe rise in the persecution of Indias christian population,ranging from harrassment to murder.
We are also going to pray for Myanmar(Burma)which is suffering from the effects of a devestating cyclone,with last reports having over 22,000 dead,with the government openly seeking assistance from christian ngos.
Father we come before you seeking Your grace and mercy for your children in both India and Myanmar. We ask that You protect the defenseless and heal the broken. We pray that what ever doors are opened either through the suffering of persecuted christians in India,or by the ability of christians to render assistance in Myanmar,that You will be glorified and many will come to accept the salvation offered by Your Son Jesus. We pray this in Jesus name,Amen.
Yep, it'll all be over Thursday. Things are going well, personally, at least. I wish I could say the same for the world at large, huh? And how are things with you?
