Just when the scientists convince you, "This is absolutely true," they come up with a whole other theory!
Watchwoman: These two videos included herein are long, but extremely interesting and challenging to today's absolute scientific truths — especially in light of the latest discovery that neutrinos traveled faster than light recently and that just may demolish Einstein's absolute, unquestionable equation, based upon E=MC squared, all to smithereens! Changes occur in the world of irrefutable science with the capriciousness of the next new discovery that comes down the pike. For example, in my own experience, I was taught in school that hurricanes (the entire weather pattern of them) never touched Ohio. We were too far north. Since weather satellites now circle the globe we see that "absolute truth" is completely false! Now take it back another decade to the 40's and all students were taught that radio waves would never be able to travel through space because radio waves required air to travel — and space is filled with N O T H I N G — until they discovered recently, that is, space is not filled with nothing, but indeed has billions upon billions upon billions upon billions upon billions upon billions of little, tiny infinitesimal thing-ees — so there goes that theory too — that space is nothing filled with nothing! But all the scientists and experts who taught all my teachers who taught all the students, including me in the 40's and 50's, that this was impossible. Maybe you went to school in the 60's, 70's, 80's or 90's and have your own absolutes that have been demolished to smithereens taught to you by teachers who taught only the "absolute truths". Hummm? So much for my absolute faith in all the scientists, experts, and teachers, aye? For all the skeptics in the group, this item will hook you and for the philosophers it will set your minds to spinning. There are two very long videos included. Use your own discretionary judgment as to how much time you have to devote to listening to them. After you read the article, you may want to leave a comment about the validity of what is being proposed below. It makes for interesting speculation! And adds to the theory that scientists are only as valid as their last experiment and truth is relative in their world. The only absolute truth I trust is the King James Bible. This is for certain: [Genesis 1:1] In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth. (through) [Revelation 22:21] The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all. Amen. – And every word between! Amen? Amen! ▬ Donna Calvin
Einstein, the Electric Universe & Expatriation
by Jeff Berwick
The Dollar Vigilante
Previously by Jeff Berwick: The Fasco-Communist Police State of America
News came out this week that physicists at CERN, the international nuclear research facility near Geneva, found that neutrino particles sent on a 500 mile journey got there 60 billionths of a second quicker than the light speed limit allowed.
What's 60 billionths of a second here or there, you ask? Einstein's 1905 theory of special relativity says that light travels at a constant speed, regardless of how fast an observer is traveling, and that nothing in the universe can go faster than it.
If these particles truly did outpace light, that would upend physics as we know it.
More importantly, from my own personal perspective, this news sent me down a dangerous and time consuming trip into YouTube, Wikipedia and the World Wide Web that consumed an entire day.
A quick google search sent me off to some basic physics websites which led me to some Wikipedia'ing and I finally ended up at a video about the electric universe.
That future came today. After spending hours tunneling through documents and information – something that would shock my grade 10 physics teacher who gave me an F – I was enthralled by this concept of an electric universe.Ever heard of the electric universe? I had heard of it in passing numerous times over the past year. Enough times, and from enough of the type of people whose opinions I trust, that it had registered somewhere in my brain to be looked into in the future.
More than this recent discovery in Switzerland, the entire concept that the universe is electric seems to throw the entire modern concept of cosmology on its head.
Cosmology seemed to always be full of holes, literally. Even to my amateur mind. The sun is a big, nuclear fireball? Black holes that can suck in and make things disappear only to shoot them out again? Comets made of ice and dust have a glowing tail? And, still to this day, I've never heard a reasonable explanation for where petrocarbons come from… or the oceans, for that matter.
Until today. Again, this is coming from a "F" student in physics (but Albert Einstein failed his entry exam into university in Switzerland too) but this theory of an electric universe, which throws on its head almost all of modern cosmology, makes a lot of sense.
I found the following video enthralling, especially how it explains mythology from ancient civilizations.

According to this article, if the electric universe theory is true, the earth may have been a planet of Saturn at one point, when Saturn was a brown dwarf and this is where it got its water and so-called "fossil fuels".
Of course, any cursory look into physics will have you come across Albert Einstein's name almost every other paragraph. So, that led me to the Wikipedia page on Albert Einstein and to another hour of my day being devoted to the following excellent documentary on Einstein:
The man simply has to be one of the most interesting characters of the last century. It made me wonder, where is the big hollywood movie about him? This is as interesting of a story as it gets. Genius… changes the way people view the world dramatically with his mind… pacifist… divorced his wife, married his cousin… and probably one of the most recognized faces in the world.
But, wait. Pacifist? Hollywood, and the US Government propaganda machine, doesn't like that. Over a thousand movies have been made about World War II. And the socialist movie about the thief who steals from the terrible rich to give to the lovable poor, Robin Hood, has been remade and released almost every single year since 1908 (see the full list here). But, a movie about a pacifist genius who fled from numerous countries and wars? That doesn't work so well in Hollywood.
Here at The Dollar Vigilante we are big proponents of not thinking of yourself as being a citizen of a certain state but as being a citizen of the world. In that sense, Albert Einstein is one of our heroes. He was born in the Kingdom of Württemberg, part of the German empire, and then was stateless from 1896 to 1901. In the 19th century you could still actually be stateless, a most wonderful state of affairs.
He then became a citizen of Switzerland from 1901-1911, then to Austria for 2 years and then became a German citizen again from 1914-1933.Here at The Dollar Vigilante we are big proponents of not thinking of yourself as being a citizen of a certain state but as being a citizen of the world.

In the 19th century you could still actually be stateless, a most wonderful state of affairs.
He then fled Nazi Germany in 1933 and renounced his citizenship and again became stateless. He was an outspoken war opposer throughout most of his life and ended up having to make what must have been a terrible choice. He decided that rather than the Nazis getting atomic power first, he wrote a letter to US President Roosevelt and urged him to start a program to create the atom bomb first. A chain of events that would lead to hundreds of thousands of innocent Japanese civilians being incinerated.
All the while, as he fled or expatriated from country to country, dodging world wars and being ostracized for his opposition to them, he also created a list of scientific achievements that still shape our lives to this day.
Quite an amazing story. You'd think Hollywood would want to tell this amazing tale of the peaceful scientist who tore up numerous passports and was stateless twice in his quest for peace and knowledge. If only they had the time… but it's been over a year since the last Robin Hood remake so it'll have to wait. It is much more important for the kids of today to hear the important tale of Robin Hood: The Ghosts of Sherwood 3D.
Go get 'em Robin Hood! Make sure those rich pay their fair share!

Best Ways Of Detoxing And What To Keep In Mind Throughout The Process
In the search of a healthier lifestyle, many people look up detoxing and are wondering what detox really stands for. To put it as simple as possible, detox is the process through which the human body removes all the present toxins and returns to a state of cleanliness.
There are multiple ways in which a body can be cleansed of toxins, but more on that in a moment. As you are aware, there are multiple planes to our existence, meaning that we have to take of both our mind and our body.
While some might believe that taking care of one is easier or harder than taking care of the other, we believe that these following ways of eliminating toxins surpass the classifications of what type of a cleanse detox should incorporate.
This means that they can be used for both body and mind with similar results in that the practitioner of these treatments will feel both removed of all unhealthy dwellers.
Proper Diet
As obvious as this one might sound, it is often times dismissed by the very people that seek out ways to cleanse themselves. A very useful thing to do when trying to get out all the toxins in your body is to stop putting in more toxins.
What this means is that a healthy diet is required in order to make sure that the detox process goes smoothly and uninterrupted. Otherwise it would be like trying to fill a bucket with a hole in it.
Taking Action
Physical exercise is an important factor inside and outside the detox process. Through exercise, the body is able to considerably help with detox by eliminating toxins through sweat and building up a healthier metabolism.
Working out is a fantastic way of becoming and feeling better all around. Therefore, a detox process would benefit tremendously by being accompanied by a proper workout routine.
Clean Air
Fresh and clean air are valuable assets that play a role in how detoxing works. By keeping the air clean, you are allowing your body to replace toxins in your body with toxin-free O2. You can make sure you are breathing fresh air in your home by eliminating cigarettes, fumes, mold, any other type of smoke and even some of the stuff your pets might leave behind on a regular basis.

Skip to comments.The Yard Sign
Posted on 03/05/2010 1:58:51 PM PST by plsjr
The yard sign...
Ralph, My neighbor is a "lefty" of sorts (Obama bumper stickers, gung-ho socialized medicine, "guns should be banned", etc.). So last week I put this sign up in my yard after one of his anti-gun rants at a neighborhood cocktail party.
The sign wasn't up more than an hour before he called the police and wanted them to make me take down the sign.
Fortunately, the officer politely informed him that it was not their job to take such action without a court order and that he had to file a complaint "downtown" first, which would be reviewed by the city attorney to see if it violated any city, county, or state ordinances, which if there was a violation a court order would be sent to the offending party (me) to "remove the sign in seven days".
After several weeks he was informed that the sign was legal (by a quarter of an inch) and there was nothing the city could do, which obviously made him madder.
I tried to smooth things over by inviting him to go shooting with me and my friends at the hunt club but that seemed to make him even more angry. I then asked him if he wanted to go to a Tea Party rally but again he declined my outreach efforts to bring about a better understanding between political and social opponents.
I am at a loss how to reconcile our long relationship (notice I did not say friendship), any suggestions would be welcome.
Anyway, that's life in our neck of the woods, how's about yours?
That is GREAT!
Keep us posted.
Well, I think Nancy Pelosi would agree that this entire process has been completely bi-partisan.
You put this up last week?
Looks like a summer day - in Texas????
Those are very attractive flowers in your yard.
Boobytrap it, or he'll steal it.
If you did this, it's too great!
Nevertheless, the perfect green lawn and wonderfully flowering azaleas make me wonder if Photoshop is your favorie App.
put a video camera on it to catch him stealing it. Then you can put it on youtube.
Your lib neighbor is not speaking to you? Sounds like you've already achieved the optimum outcome. If he makes any further demands, tell him you'll gladly strike the sign when he shows you proof of firearms ownership.
OMG that is the funniest thing I have read in way to long.
Almost fell of my chair laughing.
We live in East Central Texas. "This is Texas. Even the hair sylists pack!" Sandra Bullock in Miss Congeniality
That is awesome
you could gift him with a pound of Starbucks coffee and say that you're patronizing that establishment because they allow firearms.
I still get this email from time to time myself. I don't mind cause it's a good'n.
Is there a picture of the sign? (Story's funny regardless, esp. the last parts.)
I don't think azaleas aren't in full bloom anywhere yet. Too early for this year.
And anyone stupid enough to advertise a house full of guns better have good insurance policy.

The following is a transcribed excerpt of "FOX News Sunday," Sept. 11, 2005.
CHRIS WALLACE, HOST: With the continuing human drama, we turn now to Louisiana's two Senators, Democrat Mary Landrieu (search) and Republican David Vitter (search), who's been visiting with thousands of evacuees and joins us now from outside the Astrodom (search)e in Houston. And Senators, thank you both for being with us today.
You both just saw Admiral Allen. Senator Landrieu, let me ask you first. What makes you think he'll do a better job than FEMA Director Mike Brown? And, is that enough, or do you want to see more personnel changes?
LANDRIEU: Well, clearly, he comes to this job with more credentials, and, just in the short interview that I saw, said more than the former director in just that few minutes than he did in two weeks.
So, I think he's giving confidence. His support of local officials — state and local officials — is also reassuring because, as we build a team that's going to not only keep the despair to a minimum and build up our city and our Gulf Coast region, his words of working together as a team are very, very comforting, Chris.
WALLACE: Senator Vitter, your feelings about Admiral Allen versus Mike Brown?
VITTER: Chris, I have a lot of confidence for two reasons. First of all, my general observation is that, while the bureaucracy — state and federal — has responded very poorly, the military is on the other end of the spectrum and has responded extremely well with a very positive, can-do attitude.
Secondly, I've personally met with the admiral. I was with within Thursday, with the vice president, and got a full briefing. And there, in terms of that briefing and that overview, he was extremely impressive, and had a great command of the situation.
So, for those two reasons, I consider his appointment as a big, big positive step.
WALLACE: I think it's fair to say that both of you have been very tough on the federal response in the first days after Katrina hit.
Senator Vitter, you gave FEMA an "F" and then, you have this to say — and let's put it up on the screen: The agency "has been completely dysfunctional, completely overwhelmed."
Senator Landrieu, speaking on the Senate floor on Thursday, you were even tougher. Let's look.
LANDRIEU: And I intend to find out why the federal — particularly the response of FEMA — was so incompetent and insulting to the people of our states.
WALLACE: Senator Landrieu, I want to ask you — and I'll ask you both, but let me start with you — about the local response.
Was it incompetent and insulting for Mayor Ray Nagin to order a mandatory evacuation, but then to leave buses — and we have a picture of them — hundreds of buses idle, so that they could be flooded, instead of using them to get people out.
LANDRIEU: Well, Chris, I was there, as you know, through the whole ordeal with state and local officials, and was right there with Louisiana Democrats and Republicans, city council members, police chiefs, mayors, the governors, and could watch what Haley Barbour was doing and Governor Riley in Alabama.
I am not going to level criticism at the local level. These people did...
WALLACE: But I'd like you to answer, if you could, this one specific question.
LANDRIEU: Well, I will. I will answer it. I am not going to level criticism at local and state officials. Mayor Nagin and most mayors in this country have a hard time getting their people to work on a sunny day, let alone getting them out of the city in front of a hurricane. And it's because this administration and administrations before them do not understand the difficulties that mayors — whether they are in Orlando, Miami, or New Orleans — face.
LANDRIEU: In other words, this administration did not believe in mass transit. They won't even get people to work on a sunny day, let alone getting them out...
WALLACE: But Senator, there were hundreds of buses sitting in that parking lot. Can I just ask the question?
LANDRIEU: You can, but let me finish, if I could, please.
WALLACE: Well, look in the picture here. There were hundreds of buses in parking lots. The city and the state.
LANDRIEU: That is underwater. Those...
WALLACE: It wasn't underwater before the...
LANDRIEU: Those buses were underwater. Those buses...
WALLACE: They weren't underwater on Saturday; they weren't underwater on Sunday.
LANDRIEU: We had two catastrophes. We had a hurricane and then we had a levee break. When the levee broke, not only did New Orleans go underwater, but St. Bernard when underwater and St. Tammany Parish went underwater.
WALLACE: But they weren't underwater on Sunday.
LANDRIEU: And Plaquemines went underwater. And because the mayor evacuated the city, we had the best evacuation between Haley Barbour and Kathleen Blanco of any evacuation I've seen. I'm 50 years old; I've never seen one any better.
WALLACE: But there were a hundred thousand people left in the city.
LANDRIEU: They did a hundred thousand people left in the city because this federal government won't support cities to evacuate people, whether it's from earthquakes, tornadoes, or hurricanes. And that's the truth.
And that will come out in the hearing.
WALLACE: Let me bring David Vitter in. Was it incompetent and...
VITTER: Yes, Chris, I have...
WALLACE: If I might ask you another question, sir. Was it competent and insulting for the Louisiana Department of Homeland Security — I'm talking about the state, not the feds — to tell the Red Cross and the Salvation Army that they couldn't go into the city in the middle of the first week, when they said they were ready to go; they had the provisions to go; and it was the state that kept them out.
VITTER: Yes, it was, Chris. And I guess I have a different take than Mary. When I made those comments in the first week, I gave the entire big government organized relief effort a failing grade, across the board. That certainly included FEMA, obviously. But it also included the state bureaucracy and some elements at the local level.
And so, I think we, in the hearings that will come — we need to ask a lot of pointed and tough questions to a lot of different people, certainly including the feds and certainly including FEMA, but including many, many others to get a true understanding of all that went wrong and what we need to do differently.
WALLACE: Senator Vitter, do you think it was — and I'll get you in this in a moment, Senator Landrieu — do you think it was incompetent and insulting for Governor Blanco not to bring in the federal guard — or, the National Guard, rather — into the city of New Orleans in force until Friday of that first week?
VITTER: Yes.
WALLACE: Senator Landrieu?
LANDRIEU: Can I...
WALLACE: Yes or no?
LANDRIEU: Well, let me add something about our Guard and Reserve: we have 3,000 Guards men coming back from Iraq after they've served, sometimes twice. Our General Landreneau (ph) has said that he's giving them a break.
Thank God we have such a good leader. They need a break. They need to get with their families — many of them, their homes are destroyed. I read in the paper this morning, alarmingly, that the Mississippi governor is not going to allow the Mississippi Guard, or whoever is making that decision. And I'll plead for the Mississippi, for the Alabama Guard, and for the Louisiana Guard: please give these guys a break. They're carrying the weight of the world, literally, ion their shoulders.
And we cannot continue to burden the Guard and Reserve. Now, some of them can volunteer; that's great. But we have to be very careful about putting that burden on them. And let me say one thing I do agree with David about — and we agree with many things; he and I have worked very closely together this week — everyone will be held accountable. The president himself will be held accountable. This administration; I will be held accountable; Senator Vitter will be held accountable; and all state and local officials.
Now is not the time for finger-pointing. Now is the time to rebuild.
So, I'm asking the White House to stop sending out press releases blaming local and state officials.
WALLACE: But, Senator — I'm sorry. This works better if I get to ask some questions here.
LANDRIEU: I know. That would be fine.
WALLACE: OK, thank you. But you're the one who's done the finger-pointing. You were the one who, on the Senate floor, talked about the federal response being incompetent and insulting to the people of Louisiana. You were the one — if I might — and, I want to ask you, also, because you've also pointed the finger at the Bush administration for failing to spend enough on flood control.
Here's what you said this week on the Senate floor. Let's take a look.
LANDRIEU: They gambled that no one would notice if Louisiana's critical and vital role in our national economy was threatened. And Washington rolled the dice and Louisiana lost.
WALLACE: But here is what the Washington Post found in an article this week, Senator. And let's put that up on the screen if we can: "The Bush administration's funding requests for the key New Orleans flood-control projects for the past five years were slightly higher than the Clinton Administration's for its past five years."
And, Senator, the article went on to say that Louisiana politicians, in too many cases, were involved in pork, rather than in trying to protect the city of New Orleans. And let's go back to the article. Let's put up another part of it: "For example, after a $194 million deepening project for the Port of Iberia flunked a Corps..." — that's an Army Corps of Engineer — "... cost-benefit analysis, Sen. Mary Landrieu tucked language into an emergency Iraq spending bill ordering the agency to redo its calculations."
So, question, Senator: Is it just the president who gambled and lost or, frankly, did a lot of Louisiana politicians, including you?
LANDRIEU: The president gambled and lost, and I'll tell you why, if you'll let me answer this question. Number one, it is true that the president gave slightly more than Bill Clinton. But what is also true is Bill Clinton was running the largest deficit created by the Reagan administration before him and the Bush administration before him.
President Bush was running a surplus. Yet, when he had a surplus, he didn't invest it in levees and flood protection for people from Miami to Orlando to New Orleans to Biloxi or to Mobile. He had other priorities.
And I have a letter I will submit to Fox Network.
Number two, on the issue...
WALLACE: We've only got about 30 seconds left.
LANDRIEU: OK. On the issue of that project: I'll tell you what that project was, that project of two ports in Louisiana. We have oil in Louisiana. My guys can't build the fabrications because they're being built in Korea and Indonesia. So, I thought: If you're taking our oil, for God's sakes, give us the jobs.
So, I put that in for the people of my state, so they could build the oil rigs that take the oil out of the ground. I will make no apologies for it and the Washington Post is wrong.
WALLACE: Senator Vitter, Senator Landrieu. We want to thank you both. We're going to have to leave it there. And our thoughts and prayers go out to the people of your state. Thank you so much.
VITTER: Thank you, Chris.

Grilled Chicken and Harrisa-Yogurt Salad Pita Pocket
If you like it, save it!
Save and organize all of the stuff you love in one place.Got it!
If you like something…
Click the heart, it's called favoriting. Favorite the stuff you like.Got it!
Author Notes: Like all of my best lunches, this was a reincarnation of last night's dinner, wrapped up as something easy to eat while (gasp!) sitting at a desk. Alternatively, the pita can be replaced with a bed of spinach.
I love yogurt marinades; they have a way of keeping the meat so moist and tasty. Often I debone and grill enough chicken thighs for a few meals; without the bones they are easy to chop up and put in salads or sandwiches. The harrisa I use is heavy on the spice and very briny from lots of lemon preserves. You may need to adjust the spice and salt to your liking, depending on your harrisa. Make everything the night before and stuff it in the pita in the morning… just a few hours later you will be enjoying a spicy, fresh, creamy, healthy lunch. Just be sure to peel away the foil as you eat, rather than unwrapping the whole thing at once, or else it may end up in your lap!

Grilled Chicken with Yogurt-Harrisa Marinade
chicken thighs, deboned
cup plain yogurt
tablespoon harissa
- Wisk together yogurt and harissa and put in a zip lock with the chicken thighs. Turn the bag to coat the chicken and marinate for 30 minutes at room temperature or up to 24 hours in the fridge.
- Prepare barbecue (medium-high heat). Brush grill with oil. Remove chicken from the marinade and grill skin-side down for about 8 to 10 minutes, or until skin is crispy. Flip and cook 4 to 6 minutes more until they are cooked through. Remove from grill and allow to rest.
Pita Pocket
cup cucumber
cup cherry tomatoes, cut in half or thirds
cup red onion, very thinly sliced
tablespoons cilantro, chopped
cup plain yogurt
teaspoon harrissa
small clove garlic, minced
Kosher salt
whole wheat pitas
12 inch pieces of tin foil
- With a peeler, remove the skin of the cucumber, cut in half lengthwise. Using a small spoon remove the seeds (I find leaving them in, makes the salad too watery.) Cut the cucumber again lengthwise, then thinly slice into quarter moons. Combine cucumber, tomatoes, onion and cilantro in a bowl.
- Wisk yogurt, harrisa and garlic and pour over the vegetables. Mix well. Taste and season with salt.
- Cut chicken into cubes and combine with the vegetables. Mix everything together. This can be done the day before.
- Evenly divide the salad into two pitas. Wrap the pitas with tin foil and it is off to work we go!

About a year ago I was experiencing some pain and swelling around a couple of molars on the lower right side of my mouth. Not interested in going to the dentist and interested in exploring alternative remedies, I took to the internet and consulted a couple natural medicine gurus. Combining what resources I had readily available and some advice I found consensus on through my research, I came up with a simple tooth "pack" formula. After using it for just 4 days, I was pleasantly surprised to find that not only had the pain and swelling subsided, but still to this day the teeth seem to be healthier and less sensitive.
While a dentist never informed me that it was a cavity, based on prior dental caries, it is my belief that I was suffering from a serious cavity and infection. Seeing as how many of my teeth are still not in the best of shape, I plan on visiting a dentist, affirming the presesnce of dental caries, and coming home and documenting my second experiment with home toothache remedies.
For now, here is my simple mixture:
– 2 parts bentonite clay
– 2 parts activated charcoal
– .50 parts xylitol (warning: do not let dogs get in to xylitol, it can be fatal!)
– Ionic or Colloidal Silver
Take the powder mixture and add enough colloidal or ionic silver to make the consistency a paste that can be applied to your teeth.
Apply the paste to your problem teeth (or all of your teeth) regularly throughout the day keeping it on for 20-30 minutes then rinsing it out (best not to swallow it) and re-applying. This process can take place in the evenings only if you work during the day. The more often however, the quicker and more effective.
The combo of clay and activated charcoal is meant to soak up toxins from your teeth and mouth and the xylitol helps to break up the bacteria in your mouth and teeth making it easier to be extracted by the clay and charcoal. The silver of course is a wondrous disinfectant and anti-bacterial agent and brings together the mixture quite nicely.
I hope you appreciate the idea. In the future I will be providing more research, documentation, and multimedia regarding the subject of home mouth health remedies. Expect a video soon!

Wayne Rooney wants to win the World Cup for England not for the personal glory of seeing his name up in glowing headlines around the globe but because of his desire to win something with a group of players he admires.
"I'm not a player who needs that like Cristiano Ronaldo,'' said Rooney of the pursuit of individual plaudits and prizes like the Ballon d'Or. "He has to have that and you admire him for having that. I'm more about winning things as a team. You can see how he is. He wants his moments.''
It needs emphasising that the words were uttered with some affection, that Rooney has huge regard for his former Manchester United team-mate. It is just that he was less bothered about being voted Ballon d'Or winner, something that became a personal crusade for Ronaldo.
"It's more important for me to win trophies as a team,'' continued Rooney. "I've won the PFA Player of the Year [in 2010], which is nowhere near as good as winning a trophy with Manchester United." It frustrated him that he failed to win anything this season. "No, so hopefully I can do that now."
Having failed to score in two World Cups, Rooney believes it will be third time lucky because he is simply focusing on enjoying the event, not fretting with stress about delivering. "I've maybe put myself under too much pressure,'' he said after training at Urca on Wednesday.
"Maybe you guys, the media, have put me under a lot of pressure and I've tried to respond to that. This time I haven't and I'm not going to. I'm going to enjoy it. I'm excited for this tournament. I'm enjoying working with the younger lads and the experienced lads. I really believe we can do well.
"I've learnt to enjoy this one because I haven't enjoyed the last ones, they've not gone well. All of a sudden you're looking back and they've gone and I didn't enjoy it. I'm going to make sure I take positive memories from this one. I hope so. I know the last tournaments haven't gone well for me and, if this one doesn't, I'll have no excuses. I've prepared well for it.''
Rooney is certainly better prepared than at the 2010 World Cup when he railed against England fans in Cape Town after their dissent towards a dreadful display against Algeria.
"I regret that. It was the heat of the moment and it happened, and you move on. Listen, I'll do my best for England and I'm sure the fans see that. All fans have favourite players. I'm sure the English Man United fans like me! It was stupid of me but it was a frustrating time.
"The hardest thing about last time was I missed my family, and this time I've learnt to deal with that. Of course I miss them. They'll be over here eventually. Not with me but they will be. To be honest, it's good to get a few days' rest!" Rooney has two sons, aged four and one, and the elder is beginning to note the focus on his father.
"For instance, towards the end of last season, when I walked out at Old Trafford the fans were shouting and he was asking why. He's not a massive football fan. He's not really into it at the minute. He's still young. I'm sure, in time, it'll come."
As well as the maturing effects of fatherhood, Rooney's equanimity has been helped by talking to the sports psychologist, Dr Steve Peters, who is travelling with England. "I've spoken to him a few times. He's a great benefit for the team. I found him great and easy to talk to.''
The tournament he enjoyed most was Euro 2004 when he was a teenager, playing without fear, just loving the occasion. "I did enjoy that one. I was doing well. That's the good thing about the younger lads in the squad, like Ross [Barkley] and Raheem (Sterling). You can see that there's no fear with them. They'll be good players, big players for us." He will tell them to "enjoy it", adding "You have to enjoy the moment".
Against Ecuador in the Miami friendly, when the focus was on him after injury and some travails in front of goal, Rooney celebrated wildly scoring from three yards. "One yard! I know this is a big tournament for me which I want to do well in, so I was delighted to score. If you look at my record in us qualifying for this World Cup, I had a pretty good record. I hadn't done too well in the friendlies, but when it counted in the qualifiers, it happened. That's what I have to do again in this tournament.''
He is currently on 39 goals, 10 short of Sir Bobby Charlton's England record which he wants to beat. "It would be great,'' said the 28-year-old. "At my age, I should break that record. I just want to keep playing, keep trying to score. If I can get Sir Bobby's record it would be a massive achievement. I'd be absolutely delighted. I want to score goals and help England be successful. If I play well, the team will play well. I feel better than I have done for years. I'm ready for this tournament.''
He did not particularly appreciate the critical comments from his former team-mate, Paul Scholes, about his having peaked as a player. "I don't agree with it. I'm sure he's upset a lot of people at Man United because they see me as worthy of signing a new deal at the club, so they obviously have got a different opinion to what Paul has.''
Unlike Jack Wilshere, another victim of Scholes's new role as a pugnacious pundit, Rooney has not bothered to contact Scholes. "I've never had his phone number and he's never had mine,'' said Rooney, giving an insight into how private a person Scholes was at Old Trafford. "He's been a great player at Man United, probably the best player I've ever played with, so I'm not going to knock him as a player, but I don't agree with his point."
Handling criticism goes with the territory of being England's most-scrutinised, most high-profile player. "I've always responded well in the dressing room if I'm not doing well and if someone is shouting at me. I have no problem with that. You can see some players it really affects them. It's not something I get concerned with."
At the start of the season, the then United manager David Moyes suggested that Rooney had gone "soft". The pair discussed this. "He didn't call me in. I went to see him. He felt I had lost a bit of aggression out of my game – which I was asked to do, by the way. He said he wanted me to find that aggression back. It [his discipline] was blown up after the sending off against Montenegro [in 2011]. Before that my record in terms of discipline and bookings wasn't that bad. I was asked to stop doing that – stupid tackles.
"Maybe I was trying to do too much. I thought about it a lot. It wasn't really me. Maybe there are times when you have to try and lift the crowd with a tackle, obviously not a stupid one. A run back and tackle can lift the fans and even turn a game round." His thoughts now turn to Italy on Saturday. In training at Urca yesterday, Rooney played central, having started left against Honduras.
"I'm happy to play anywhere,'' he said. "But if you look at the way we play, it's not out and out on the left wing. You're playing more inside, you're coming inside off the line. Whoever is playing No 10, wide or up top, the manager [Roy Hodgson] gives us the freedom to rotate.''
He knows the Italians will be a test. "The Italian defenders I've played against tend to read the game really well. They put themselves in good positions. But if I'm being honest, when you play a high tempo they've struggled. The Italian league is nowhere near the tempo of the Premier League. Even when we played AC Milan, with [Alessandro] Nesta and [Paolo] Maldini the centre-halves, they really struggled when we played a high tempo. If we can do that I am sure we will give them problems."
Rooney believes England have that tempo. "We've got a lot of energy, a lot of pace in the team, and if we can pick the right moments we can really hurt teams with the pace and tempo that we can hit them at. But, at international football, you can't just go out there and attack, attack, attack. We have to be a bit cautious. This is the top end of football and you might get picked off. We have to stick to our plans that we've worked on in the last few weeks and pick the right moment."
Italian defenders are also masters at the dark arts of baulking, checking, ensuring strikers are unable to get close to the ball. "They are but everyone is learning that now; 10-15 years ago it was different but with the amount of foreign players in our league now, even English players are learning it now.''
If England play against Italy as fluidly and intelligently as Rooney spoke yesterday, they might just have a chance.
