Talk about going green!! Quite literally

Going-Green, anyone?

Going-Green, anyone?

A 28-year old Russian man, who was originally thought to be a cancer patient, underwent lung surgery to remove a ‘tumor,’ but to the doctors astonishment they ended up removing a tiny partially germinated Fir branch.

The doctor’s could only guess that the man may have accidentally inhaled a small Fir bud, that then began to germinate.

Interpret This! [Quotes] pt. 2

Interpret This!

Welcoteme to the 2nd installment of the Interpret This! series, brought to you by your ‘single-serving’ narrator, Ego, from HalfassBackwards.com

———————

1). “There is no end to education. It is not that you read a book, pass an examination, and finish with education. The whole of life, from the moment you are born to the moment you die, is a process of learning.” -Jiddu Krishnamurti

Learning doesn’t stop when formal education ends, life is a constant learning process. Take every situation you encounter as a learning experience. Tell yourself  “I can’t fail, I can only learn and grow!” Learn from other people’s mistakes!

2). “A myth is an image in terms of which we try to make sense of the world.” -Allan Watts

Just think about the time the first ‘humans’ began to question their existence, and all of the weird explanations/rationalizations that were made, and then finally settled upon. The more popular ones were taught and passed down from generation to generation. Consider what I just typed when pondering the subject of religion and spirituality.

3). “A question that sometimes drives me hazy: am I or are the others crazy?” -Albert Einstein

I ask myself this one all the time, but I keep deciding that neither seems to be true, we’re all crazy to a certain extent. Humans controlling humans, creating fear, starting wars, and enabling ignorance to persist. Trying to answer such a question clouds the mind.

Since the title of this BLoG is HalfassBackwards.com, I figured the addition of a ‘Bizarre News’ category was only fitting. I hope to post the most outrageous and utterly bizarre news stories from around the world.

Attend A Tea Party Near You!

Ok, so I’m a bit late on this post…seems how today is Tax day! But, none the less I’m still going to write about it.

Batteries Required!

Batteries Required!

Check out TaxDayTeaParty.com for the location of a “Tea Party” near you!(not to be confused with a lemon party…)

At first glance you might view the people attending these rallies to be radical idealists, or gun-toting Americans…but, what you’d be missing is these people are exercising their 1st Amendment rights, and are voicing their displeasure on the way things in Washington are being handled.

If it weren’t for people who take a stand against the government, who knows where we’d be right now…

Take a look at my post about “What Does The ‘Bill of Rights’ Mean for You?
If that doesn’t get you motivated to use YOUR VOICE, then I don’t what will!

Welcome back!

Today we are going to look at #3 of Celine’s Laws, made famous in The Illuminatus Papers by Robert Anton Wilson, and how it may be manifesting itself through the likes of President Barack H. Obama, and his administration’s seemingly inadvertent march towards limiting Americans freedom’s.

Here is Celine’s Third Law:

An honest politician is a national calamity.

Celine recognizes that the third law seems preposterous from the beginning. While a dishonest politician is interested only in bettering his own lot through abusing the public trust, an honest politician is far more dangerous since he is honestly interested in bettering society through political action, and that means writing and implementing more and more laws.

Celine argues that creating more laws simply creates more criminals. Laws inherently restrict individual freedom, and the explosive rate at which laws are being created means that every citizen in the course of his daily life does not have the research capacity to not violate at least one of the plethora of laws. It is only through honest politicians trying to change the world through laws that true tyranny can come into being through excessive legislation.

Corrupt politicians simply line their own pockets. Honest idealist politicians cripple the people’s freedom through enormous amounts of laws. So corrupt politicians are preferable according to Celine.

Obama, at face value, appears to be on a mission to do good and correct the wrongs of the former administration. Although, I cannot know for certain, nor can anyone else…not until it’s too late, at least. 

…I thought it was an interesting ‘thought-scenario’ to play around with…that’s fun for me…and others, I’m sure.
