She's a moran for at least two reasons: First, Alaska is the champion of that; and Second, that's exactly what happens in modern states. Let's explore:

First: Alaska is a state with no income tax and no sales tax. Instead, the state government imposes massive taxes on oil companies, and then uses that to finance the state budget, run massive surpluses, and send a big fat cheque to every last Alaskan (Palin increased this by $1200 while she was governor). NOW: Let's say Obama (or any Dem) proposed cutting federal income tax to zero and then taxing every business some huge amount and sending cheques to everyone (ahem, Bush stimulus package). The Republicans would shriek bloody murder. But then consistency has never been the hallmark of the Republican party, and anyway, no one really minds kicking oil companies around (sort of like teh gaiz).

Second: Of course some sort of wealth re-distribution is natural in a modern state. Some might say using taxes to pay for public services is a form of it (you know, roads, sewers, schools, etc.) Without that, the rich would pay to have their own schools and roads and the poor would simply be shut out on dirt roads homeskooling their kids (sort of like in the entire south, of course).

So unless the Republicans are proposing some sort of state that uses taxes only to fund wars and nothing else, they should really shut the fuck up about re-distribution because that's the way it's been ever since the first person or company was taxed, which has, of course, been going on for quite some time now. Like thousands of years.

Grow up. It isn't the case that only naturalize citizens can be critical of their country. A) I emigrated when Clinton was president and things were better then; B) I'm a citizen and it's my right to criticize; C) I'm in the highest tax bracket; D) There's a lot that's great and good here; E) Everyone should be trying to make their country better and not accept it simply as is; F) My life, job, family, friends, and assets are here.

*and if you don't get what a "moran" is, google it.

YOU PEOPLE HAVE NO IDEA WHAT SOCIALISM IS.

You equate it with communism, with totalitarianism. Not with true Democratic socialism, that, in fact, doesn't lead to tyranny, doesn't lead to, oh, I wonder, the suspension of ancient liberties like in this country. Strangely, the great modern socialist states--which would be Canada, the Netherlands, Scandinavia--don't actually torture their citizens or other people's citizens. Strangely, too, they don't engage in unprovoked wars.

Oh and they appear to have balanced budgets and roads that work and they can build opera centres and their bridges don't fall down and they clothe and feed their people while strangely being vibrant democracies with more than 2 parties.

I thought I was a conservative and un-socialist, until I moved here to see how fucking terrible it is without it.

It's not. This is what I wrote to him:

Andrew,

Please, please, please stop with calling the bailout socialism. No one who's not a blinkered conservative can claim that.

If it were socialism, there would be some better stake for taxpayers. State-owned companies work to the benefit of their shareholders, i.e. the people: the people share both the risk of failure as well as the benefit of success.

Here, Wall street benefits when times are good, but the taxpayer is on the hook when it's bad.

I've said it to you before and I'll say again, this is not socialism. There is simply no upside to the consumer (apart, maybe, from the economy collapsing but that isn't what I mean). Wall street executives made huge gambles, made big profits for themselves, and now that it's all falling apart, the taxpayer is on the hook. It's not socialism, but it's a sure sign that the U.S. has become a kleptocracy.

But then I got to thinking. It's the '00s. Everything is being recorded. All my friends have digital cameras, pocket sized ones that we take everywhere. There are pictures of me doing all sorts of things posted all over the internet--parties, events, dinners, sporting things.

And it's not really all that fair to judge Palin for being a terrible flutist or looking ridiculous in a bathing suit and big hair. Because, lord knows, if I every run for office, all someone will have to do is pull out one of my Hallowe'en albums and I'm toast. Like the one Hallowe'en where a group of us wore football pants and shoulder pads and that was it? Or our impending costume this year . . .?

It reminds me a little of the book by Arthur C. Clarke, "The Light of Other Days." There, a device is invented that basically creates little wormholes the user can look through--to see anyone, anywhere, at any time in the past or present. The point of the story is "what happens when all privacy is taken away, completely." Some respond by not caring--by being naked all the time, having sex in public, having no secrets at all. Others respond by finding cloaking devices and trying to escape.

I guess my point is that we're going to have to face this question in the future: Everone has a myspace or facebook page. Everyone that's not a boring Christian in North Dakota has embarassing pictures posted somewhere, or in someone else's possession. I hope we get to a place where all that stops mattering--that we accept that, as a price of living in an interconnected world, we lose some of our privacy. We all have stuff that will make us look bad, but maybe that will help us start judging people on substance and not on whether they got drunk at a party 20 years previously.

He is sitting in a boring dinner with a bunch of doctors when one of them mentions something to the effect that if they had 10 billion and 10 years they could do it.

And that got me thinking: Where are those great national projects now? With $700 billion going to bail out some investment banks, and $1 billion being spent every day on the war in Iraq (I grabbed that number today from the NYT's Thomas Friedman)--think of what we could do with that money! Meanwhile, our bridges fall down, our cities get smited, health care sucks, social security is in trouble. Anyone who's recently been to JFK or LaGuardia or LAX and then flown to, say, Hong Kong's new airport, or even Pearson's beautiful new terminal 1 will know how little we're paying attention to infrastructure here.

With $700 billion, could we cure AIDS?

With $700 billion, could we find a real cure or treatment for cancer?

With $700 billion, could we not create the finest school system in the world, instead of falling further and further behind?

Isn't the point of taxes that they get spent on things to make the country as a whole better? Aren't they the price of living in a modern state?

But no, if we weren't bailing out Wall St. and fighting the war in Iraq, all we'd hear would be tax cuts tax cuts.

And our bridges would continue to fall.Dean Phttp://firstname.lastname@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-20163580.post-46385099768840663822008-09-12T20:13:00.002-04:002008-09-12T20:16:06.515-04:00Flag PinsYou remember all the hysteria about Obama not wearing a flag pin?

Most notably, the Québec Act allowed the free practice of Catholicism in Québec, and modified the oath of allegiance in order to allow Catholics to hold office in the government. It was another 50 years before Catholics in England would be granted the full freedom provided under the Québec Act.
 This pragmatic approach turned out to be effective in Québec, but it was definitely contentious elsewhere. The Québec Act was among the provocations that led to the revolution in the Thirteen Colonies to the south. It was denounced both by the First Continental Congress, and in the text of the Declaration of Independence itself. But the challenges of governing a New World territory such as Québec simply could not be ignored, and the Colonial administration wisely chose the controversial but pragmatic solution that included religious tolerance and minority accommodation. In a sense, this policy was vindicated to the extent that the colonies that would later join the Canadian confederation declined to participate in the revolution that broke out in the American colonies.

Note that the Yankees denounced the Quebec Act--which allowed the free practice of religion in Canada.

Fuck you, Yankee savages, when you talk about American freedom. Whether it was religion in the 1770s or torture now, you're wrong. And you have always been. You aren't more free than we are; you just persuade yourself that you are. And fuck you too, Yankee barbarians, that the idea of religion or creation is even an issue in schools now.

And remember we stopped slavery almost a hundred years before you killed each other to try to save it. Barbarians. You're the only serious country that actually debates abortion and health care. And nominates some idiot to be your VP.

But then, you also re-elected Bush.

Dissing American barbarians aside, this is a more affirmative point:

Somewhere among the examples of France, with its civil law heritage, Britain with its common law and unwritten constitution and the United States, with its melting pot and its near-absolute framework of rights, Canada forged its own unique constitutional settlement. In doing so, it honoured a proud New World tradition of pragmatism and accommodation. Moreover, these initiatives went beyond lofty pronouncements in constitutional documents. Commissions and tribunals were established to ensure that citizens whose constitutional rights had been violated could obtain a meaningful remedy.

And isn't that the point. American law is lofty in sentiment, but the little dude ends up fucked. We actually make it happen. Examples (aside: anyone advocating "this is our national language and all golf players and school kids must only speak it" would be laughed at as a lunatic):

I am thinking of the extent to which our parliamentary institutions have strived to ensure the accommodation of persons with disabilities – both for members of the public and members of the assembly. We see the use of sign language in television broadcasts of parliamentary proceedings, level access to public areas and to the Chamber alike. In the Senate, I recall the example of Senator Gauthier, whose full participation in debate in the Chamber and in committees was accommodated by the provision of real-time transcription, which allowed him to overcome his severe hearing impairment. I think of my colleague in the House of Commons, Steven Fletcher, the first quadriplegic Member of Parliament in our history. He has been elected, and re-elected, in Winnipeg. The House of Commons took steps to ensure that he is able to participate fully as a member in the Commons and in its committees, and as a Parliamentary Secretary to a Minister. Making this possible required pragmatic accommodation on a "micro" level. This included modifying the rule that excludes "strangers" in order to allow an assistant to sit with Mr. Fletcher on the floor of the House. These are specific cases, but they are not merely anecdotes. They are illustrations of the extent to which the impulse to accommodate has entered our collective consciousness – not just on an abstract and theoretical plane, but in every day real-world situations.

Fuck you, rest of the world. You got it wrong. You've slaughtered each other and locked each other out of your schools and courts and water fountains, all because you can't handle someone with a different language or colour or religion or slaves. I'm looking at you, Africa, Yugoslavia, the US, continental Europe. Oh ya and everywhere else too. I'm not saying Canada got it all right. But let no one lecture us about tolerance. And the next time some idiot says "We (speak different languages)(practice different faiths)(are different ethnic groups) (come from different tribes) (etc)" I'll point out that the most advanced, just, kind, progressive country that has ever existed manages all of that. Without killing each other.

Some of you backwards foreigners could bomb our cities to the stone age. You could never rebuild them.

You think you win on the strength of your arms; we will win with the strength of our ideas, the breadth of our minds, and the size of our hearts.

And one day Canadians will wake up and realize we are the most privileged and blessed 33 million people that have ever existed, and the only people that will have it better are our children.Dean Phttp://firstname.lastname@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-20163580.post-68701285536026803172008-09-09T20:56:00.000-04:002008-09-09T20:57:31.856-04:00AmenHonestly. Republicans are such lying swine.

She didn't say "no thanks" to the "Bridge to Nowhere" until after Congress had already abandoned it but given Alaska a blank check for $223 million in taxpayers' money anyway. Far from rejecting federal pork, she hired lobbyists to secure her town a disproportionate share of earmarks ($1,000 per resident in 2002, 20 times the per capita average in other states). Though McCain claimed "she has had national security as one of her primary responsibilities," she has never issued a single command as head of the Alaska National Guard. As for her "executive experience" as mayor, she told her hometown paper in Wasilla, Alaska, in 1996, the year of her election: "It's not rocket science. It's $6 million and 53 employees." Her much-advertised crusade against officials abusing their office is now compromised by a bipartisan ethics investigation into charges that she did the same.

Rudy, who built his career on being Mayor of NYC during 9/11, thinks the Mayor of Wasilla is equal to the task:
In an interview Wednesday on ABC's "Good Morning America," Giuliani was asked, "If she were the president on 9/11, you would have been confident?"

Giuliani responded: "I'd be confident that she'd be able to handle it. She's been a governor of a state, she's been mayor of a city."
Inside, it must make Rudy seethe to compare himself to the Mayor of Wasilla. NYC has neighbhorhoods and housing complexes with more people than Wasilla.

She's good on defence because Alaska is close to Russia. She'll be a good commander in chief because she commanded the national guard of Alaska (which has been refuted--she never made a single decision). And now, because she was mayor of a town of what, 20 people? she could handle a major terrorist attack on the biggest city in the country.

The worst part is people buy this shit.

First, for Fred Thompson to call out Barak Obama for being inexperienced is a touch ironic.

But more importantly, for him to talk about deficits, about America's standing in the world is nonsense. Who was President when there was a surplus?

And to call out the Congress for being dysfunctional was funny too, since Republicans have basically made it clear that they'll filibuster anything they don't like. It's like Tories in Canada complaining that Parliament doesn't work when they are the ones with a 200 page book on how to disrupt committees.

The problem is Americans and Republicans believe this nonsense.Dean Phttp://email@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-20163580.post-70371702200244633782008-08-27T01:35:00.002-04:002008-08-27T01:43:41.230-04:00Fuck all this shitAfter all the speeches, I'm done with American triumphalism. What-fucking-goddamn ever.

Greatest country in the world? Land of promise?

We raise our country out of the cold wasteland. We created the gentlest, kindest, most tolerant society that has ever existed. We have universal healthcare. We care for our poor. We allow gay marriage.

I grant that the US ain't bad. I live here, after all.

But the idea that somehow it's so amazingly more exceptional than we are is ridiculous.

We didn't build our greatness--our little, tiny, small country's greatness--on slavery.

We didn't spend years slaughtering each other.

We were cruel to our aboriginals, but we didn't engage in wholesale slaughter.

Our minorities could vote earlier.

And so, out of the cold, the misery, the snow, the darkness, and faced for almost our entire civilization's existence by the terror of the invasion of the most powerful state in the world, we survived. We threw them back. Our society is the rebuke to the planet that two languages and at least two religions must hate each other.

The only metric the beat us in is their ability to bomb us into the stone age.

They will never beat us on justice, they will never beat us in tolerance, they will never beat us in class mobility, and they will never beat us in caring for our people.

And so when some idiot Yankee politician says the US is the most free and the greatest and with the greatest potential, let us show them our shining, just, safe, gun-free, tolerant and radiant cities are the irrefutable proof that they aren't the only ones who got it right.

We just did it better.Dean Phttp://email@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-20163580.post-84163756805047931872008-07-01T17:59:00.002-04:002008-07-01T18:04:18.567-04:00Happy Canada DayOne-hundred forty one years ago today our little experiment in North America started. And somehow, 141 years later, our bumble-bee land, that everyone thinks should have fallen apart, and which, if it followed the path of every other country in the world, with their inability to have different races and languages and religions live together in peace, would have--our improbably country stretches across a continent, is one of the world's oldest and most stable democracy, and is a beacon of justice and kindness.

So, Happy Canada Day! And God save the Queen.

She is so right.

If we manage to erase one hideously bad idea from our collective memories of the law in the war on terror, please, please let it be this one: Legal questions are neither "hard," nor "novel," nor "open" merely because someone at the White House didn't like the legal answer that followed them. Easy questions don't morph into tough ones just because you can find some guy willing to argue the other side. And if—as both Sands and Lederman have observed—Haynes and his colleagues shut down efforts by Jane Dalton, the legal adviser to the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, to review the techniques, then we truly are witnessing something astonishing: Haynes turned an easy legal question into a hard one by avoiding it altogether.

And, of course, I used a porn star name to sign up.Dean Phttp://firstname.lastname@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-20163580.post-521723881146931612008-06-12T14:09:00.002-04:002008-06-12T14:17:14.034-04:00Pioneer of Full Equality, IIFollowing up on yesterday's post re Sullivan's stupid statement, June 10 was the 5 year anniversary of Halpern v. Ontario, which affirmed the 2001 trial court ruling permitting gay marriage. That legalized gay marriage in Canada, and effectively led to the federal government passing the same sex marriage bill. And given it was in Ontario, it opened up gay marriage to a far greater percentage of the population than California did.

And, for all Sullivan's "pioneer of equality" horseshit, Halpern came almost a year before the Massachusetts decision.Dean Phttp://firstname.lastname@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-20163580.post-78281515095648149392008-06-11T16:25:00.003-04:002008-06-11T16:31:45.016-04:00"Pioneer of Liberty"Andrew Sullivan is truly on crack.

In commenting on Norway becoming the sixth country to legalize gay marriage (Netherlands, Belgium, Canada, South Africa, Spain being the others), he makes this stupid statement:

Next week, California - only marginally smaller in population than Spain and South Africa - will join the list. Added to Massachusetts, more gay people will be able to marry in the US than in any other country in the world. In the end, America still came through as the pioneer of full equality.
Whaaaaaat? In what way is that statement even marginally correct?

First, the absolute numbers don't matter. What matters is the percentage of the population. Ever last gay person in The Six can get married. In the US, it's a tiny fraction of the population.

Second, "pioneer of full equality"? Such nonsense. For every state that has legalized gay marriage, there are 11 with constitutional bans (23 total) and 8 that ban it by statute (17 total).

It might well get banned in California. And it's not getting better any time soon.

The US holds itself out as a role model for freedom but it's a johnny-come-lately most of the time. Think slavery, interracial marriage, women's suffrage, and letting black people vote.Dean Phttp://firstname.lastname@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-20163580.post-19714490567062146922008-06-04T03:01:00.003-04:002008-06-04T03:06:42.653-04:00Black President--but never usI'm happy that Obama won the nomination; I do think it is a good thing.

But we are decades from where we 'mos have a chance at anything.

Tory tyranny (and closeted ministers aside, that's you John Baird) aside, at least in civilization have we had gay cabinet ministers (yes, Scott, we knew you were staring at my and Mike's shirtless asses) and candidates for premierships that were on our team.

The simple fact is it's not okay to be racist but homophobia--under many guises (family values, tradition, etc)--is still okay.

We are still not safe. I said to a friend tonight that I lack understanding because urban people are on our side, rural hicks NSM, but at home we are far more urbanized than here.

Liberation came in California, on one front, but we are not safe, and we are not free, yet.Dean Phttp://firstname.lastname@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-20163580.post-86248509930001558612008-05-29T15:39:00.004-04:002008-05-29T16:03:23.598-04:00Stupid, briefly-suspended felony-convict lawyer screws it up on Bill O'ReillySo this morning, Bill O'Reilly showed a rather astonishing bit of intellectual honesty. He challenged some family law attorney, a Donald P. Schweitzer, to come up with a non-religious reason to oppose gay marriage. And the guy bombed.

<object classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" id="Redlasso" height="320" width="390"><param name="movie" value="http://media.redlasso.com/xdrive/WEB/vidplayer_1b/redlasso_player_b1b_deploy.swf"><param name="flashvars" value="embedId=9ca7efa6-5a1d-4443-97be-00cd871b6726"><param name="allowScriptAccess" value="always"><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"><embed src="http://media.redlasso.com/xdrive/WEB/vidplayer_1b/redlasso_player_b1b_deploy.swf" flashvars="embedId=9ca7efa6-5a1d-4443-97be-00cd871b6726" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" name="Redlasso" height="320" width="390"></embed></object>

But the best part is, above and beyond the fact he doesn't answer the question (the "it's different, just like summer and winter are different" is teh awesome), is the fact that the best attorney Fox could dig up is a guy who has a felony conviction for beating up his ex-wife's boyfriend!

Anyway, I wrote to him. A bit bitchy, but what the hell. And his record of suspension comes afterwards. Onwards:

Hey Don,

Good job on the Bill O'Reilly show. "It's different" sure is a compelling argument for restricting same sex marriage, isn't it? Or course, convicted felons are different, too, which seems to me to be a compelling reason to keep you from voting or getting married.

Oh yeah, and what part of constitutional law didn't you pay attention to? There's no federal question in the opinion, at all. Did you read the opinion? None if it is based on federal law, at all. But then, spouting out nonsense legal mumbo-jumbo is a lot easier than reading a dense opinion and actually understanding such lofty issues as constitutional law and questions of state versus federal law.

And the justices didn't insert "gay marriage" into the California Constitution. They ruled that gay people are entitled to equal protection under the constitution. Maybe down in the 4th tier they don't teach that little distinction, but the justices expressly didn't find a right to same sex marriage, only that gay people are entitled to the same rights as straight people to marry. A subtle difference, but hey, isn't that what our profession is all about?

And also, "same sex marriages are a suspect class"? No, that wasn't the decision either. A "thing" can't be a suspect class, but rather a specific, recognizable characteristic, like, oh, say, gender, and race. But same sex marriages?
 It sort of amuses me that you have a family law practice and can't even get that one right. (Oh and that you beat your wife's boyfriend.)

And the people have determined they don't want it? Um, how about the legislature--which represents the people--more recently passing gay marriage.

Anyway, you did our profession a lot of credibility with your utter inability to even make a credible argument other than "it's just different." And to have Bill O'Reilly actually tell you you have to have a "cogent reason," given Fox is pretty good at finding "cogent reasons" for the usual nonsense they spout.

But that aside, glad to see you're back allowed to practice law. Hopefully I'll run into you in court one day--or rather, hopefully for my clients. Because while the religious set usually can handle "it's just different," I suspect as a legal argument that just isn't going to cut it.

Cheers,

Dean P

DONALD PHILIP SCHWEITZER [#166412], 43, of Pasadena was suspended for one year, stayed, placed on 36 months of probation with a 60-day actual suspension and was ordered to take the MPRE within one year. Credit toward the actual suspension will be given for an interim suspension which began July 14, 2002. The order took effect Jan. 10, 2003.

Schweitzer pleaded guilty to felony assault, a charge later reduced to a misdemeanor. He had an ongoing custody battle with his estranged wife and one evening entered her apartment and beat her boyfriend. Schweitzer broke his hand in the assault and the victim suffered jaw pain and significant bleeding.

The criminal conduct did not involve moral turpitude.

In mitigation, he has no record of discipline in nine years, was having severe family problems at the time that affected his emotional state, and reports involvement in community activities. His actions cost him his job as an Orange County deputy district attorney.

June 14, 2002

DONALD PHILIP SCHWEITZER [#166412], 43, of Norwalk was placed on interim suspension June 14, 2002, following a conviction for. The suspension ended Sept. 12 and he returned to active status. He was ordered to comply with rule 955.

Aside from the 1 hour a week I have to email my family, all of my communication occurs face-to-face or over the telepone (old-school style, where you don't use your thumbs). I never even ride in cars! If I want to go somewhere, I walk. If I want to communicate with someone, I talk. My world is not much bigger than the area in which I work, unless I go to the Mission Home on special occasions.
I've forgotten what it's like to have machines waiting to make your every wish come true at the touch of a finger or the warmth of your breath. Recently the surprise-finding of an American dime at the bottom of my suitcase sent me shooting through space like Christopher Reeves (that's his name, right?) in Somewhere in Time. One of the many random things that I remembered during my phsychological time travel was a commercial on TV showing off the latest iphone perks and boasting "There's an app for that!"
No matter what your wish may be, there's an app to make it come true. Modern technology makes life easy and comfortable. Like the fat people on Wal-E, you don't even have to exert any physical effort to get what you want exactly when you want it.
Well, here in the mission, as I don't have a plastic screen or a silicon chip to give me the answers to convenience's every demand, I have grown in my love of the Book of Mormon for this simple fact: no matter what challenges you are facing, there's someone somewhere in the Book of Mormon who's been through something similar and who has something to say to you. Thus the title of this advertisement-disguised-as-an-
Your siblings pick on you? See what Nephi has to say on the matter! (1 Nephi 7:16)
Caught in a confusion of cliques? Jacob knows what that's like. (Jacob 1:13)
Don't feel like you have much to contribute? Chemish is the one for you! (Omni 9)
Received a scathing email blaming you for something you didn't even do?
There's a prophet for that! (Alma 60-61)
Rebellious kids? A nagging spouse? There's a prophet for that! (Mosiah 27:8-10, 14 and 1 Nephi 5:2-3)
Wherever you are in life, whatever struggles you face, I promise that you will find what you need in the pages of the Book of Mormon. This book was written for our day. The prophet-historian Mormon was led by God to know, out of thousands of records, which ones would be of most help to us today. As they watched their own nation and people kill each other off, Mormon and Moroni dedicated their days to compiling this precious book for our benefit, with the final hope that it would all be worth it in the end. Visions of our future were their last hopes.
I often think of Moroni, sitting alone in his hiding place, wondering why he had "not yet perished", his dearest friends-- his ONLY friends-- the prophets who had written before him. I imagine the kinship he must have felt with Captain Moroni, Teancum, Helaman, Nephi, Alma and Lehi. How he must have delighted at reading about better days! How he must have cherished the sweet reassurance that every former prophet's writings gave that someday the world would read their words.
Though I can't claim to know them as Mormon and Moroni came to, the writers of the Book of Mormon have come to be dear friends to me throughout my life and especially here in the mission.
Elder Richard G. Scott said that "the scriptures provide the strength and authority to our declaration when they are cited correctly. They can become stalwart friends that are not limited by geography or calendar. They are always available when needed. Their use provides a foundation of truth that can be awakened by the Holy Ghost. Learning, pondering, searching and memorizing scriptures is like filling a filing cabinet with friends, values, and truths that can be called upon any time, anywhere in the world.... To memorize a scripture is to forge a new friendship. It is like discovering a new individual who can help in time of need, give inspiration and comfort, and be a source of motivation for needed change."
Many Brazilians believe that simply to have a Bible laying open on the table will fill their home with the Spirit and protect them from the evils of the world. Please do not be so superstitious as to believe such a thing! It is not enough to have the scriptures included in your library on the shelf, sitting beside your bedside or even in your car. You have to open them up and read them. FEAST on them! They are delicious!
Elder Scott promised that "those who consistently read the Book of Mormon are blessed with an added measure of the Spirit of the Lord, a greater resolve to obey His commandments and a stronger testimony of the divinity of the Son of God."
As a representative of Jesus Christ, I challenge all who read this email to read the Book of Mormon every day. I promise that as you do, you will be blessed with the comfort and wisdom that you are seeking.
All my love,
Sister Whitaker

Misfit Meditation in Cambridge starts March 26
Update: The class has been postponed due to complications with securing an adequate space. Stay connected via meetup for the announcement of the next class!
Registration is live for a new Misfit Meditation series via my meetup group.
What does "Misfit Meditation mean?"
For me, meditation is a tool for self-healing and deep insight so that we can become more effective and integrated people. When we learn to notice the habits of the mind and recognize our thinking as "embodied and embedded," we develop the capacity to think and feel from a deeper, more primal place in our own awareness.
In this place, greater possibilities open up, healing is more likely, the intuition is more active, and we are able to touch into deep states of peace and connection with something greater than ourselves.
Unlike many classes that are out there, I will be teaching meditation as a tool both for self-cultivation and for developing leadership and for social justice awareness. I want my students to feel better equipped to face the challenges of working to make the world a better place.
One way this happens through knowing ourselves and developing compassion, or bodhicitta, for others.
It also happens because the clear-seeing developed through meditation can, if we choose to apply it, allow us to more accurately examine the embedded assumptions that define our social and cultural interactions. For instance, we might witness our subtle internalized beliefs that help to perpetuate white supremacy, male supremacy, economic injustice, and other oppressive tendencies that often pass by us un-examined.
This will be my first attempt teaching a meditation class that includes encouragement to explore and undermine oppressive structures out in the world.
If this excites you, and you are interested in trying something new, then I hope you will join me.

Arctic Circle and beyond
We left Trondheim just as the rain was setting in and decided to keep going until it stopped, moose hunting along the way. It didn't let up and we had no moose sightings but made great progress up the E6, Norway's Nordkapp Highway. As the only main road leading north, we were concerned it might be a bit boring – we needn't have worried. The scenery was really rather nice and the road kept us on our toes.
When we realised we were within 100km of the Arctic Circle, we headed into the hopefully Moose-infested woods for another tarp-covered wild camp and our first game of Pass the Pigs. The first of many no doubt, and not in the least bit competitive 🙂
Next morning we were blessed with a sunny start and left camp in search of the Article Cirlce. Not quite Cape Cold, but an exciting landmark nonetheless!
The next decision was whether to keep ploughing on up the 'main road' or head out to the island of Lofoten for some more remote coastlines. We were sceptical about how much the boat would set us back but decided there was no harm enquiring. While trying to do so, we almost accidentally found ourselves in the queue and on the water within minutes. The only crossing for 24 hours, and cheaper than expected, it felt like this was meant to be. Even the weather forecast on the boat was promising. Thankfully, as you certainly wouldn't want to do this bit in bad weather. Four hours out on deck watching the sun go down and catching a brief glimpse of a whale more than made up for the seasickness. As soon as we docked we dived into the first spot we could to lay our heads and save the really spectacular driving for daylight.

They've been adding fruit flavors to vodka for years; why shouldn't
we expect it in whiskies? However, Jim
Beam Red Stag is one of those experiments that honestly makes me wonder what
they were thinking. Bourbon and black
cherry is not a flavor combo that is used often in any cocktail that I can
think of. I'm not saying that it doesn't
work, but there's no real need for it.
Honestly, I think Jim Beam is just looking to grab a younger market used to drinking sugary beverages with this
introduction of black cherry whiskey.
Upon pouring it into a tasting glass I caught a whiff of something
like old fashioned candy store. The nose
is pretty good, and has the scent of rich, dark cherries. Tasting tho' was not anything like what I
think a bourbon should be. It is overly
sweet and yet reminds me of the kind of cough medicine I grew up on and am
loathe to take now.
This is a liqueur more than a bourbon, and I think it should
be used as such. To drink this straight or
even watered down in more than a few ounces is too much. Add some to a Manhattan or a Julep for a
different take on a traditional cocktail.
Or if you're looking for a new bourbon and cola experience, this is probably
perfect for you.
In the end tho', I believe that this is a misstep for the
Jim Beam company and Red Stag will likely go the way of Rock & Rye after a
few years.

I thought this would be a feel-good type movie, but it wasn't at all. All of the actors seemed to be screaming their lines all of the time.... I'm not sure if they were going for comedic effect, but they dropped the ball if they were.
The acting, script, and overall movie was so bad you feel zero empathy for any of the players. I kept wanting it to get better throughout, but it was just bad. I'd skip this one.... and if you have kids, there is a lot of gratuitous language as well.

Heyyyyy, family!
Wow . . . I really can't believe that I only have two changes left! LOL . . . I really never thought I would get to this point in my Mission . . .
To answer your e-mail first, of course . . .
For P-Day today, we have done absolutely nothing except eat and print off pictures and walk through the market a li'l . . . Nothin' special . . . Just chillin' . . .
LOL . . . And it really is soooo, soooo weird how worried I was to come and speak Spanish and now I can say just about anything and I can understand 99% of everything! I do remember praying my first days in the MTC in Spanish . . .What a tough time . . . LOL . . . It's cool how much I've been blessed, though . . .
McKay wrote me today to tell me that he's gonna be home this Wednesday. Ahhhhh! That's soooo crazy . . . Cool, cool for him, though!
As for my Zone and all, we are doin' very, very well. Our Zone reported 49 baptismal dates this Sunday. The next closest is like 25, so yes, Dad, we are doubling! The zone has really improved sooo, sooo much since the time I got here. I don't give myself the credit, but something has clicked. It's really been a really cool experience. We had 5 baptisms as a Zone last month, 2 of them from my Area. Now, through the first 2 weeks of this month, we have 5 Zone baptisms! This week, we are waiting on 5 baptisms . . . One of them from our Area! Soooo . . . That will hopefully give us 10 for this month and then we still have the last week of the month which is usually the biggest baptizing week of every month! Soooo . . . We are excited to see what goes down!
As for changes, we had ten changes in the Zone. Eight people are leaving Peten and two have internal changes in Peten. My Companion is one of the 8 leaving Peten. He's pretty sad because we have really gotten the Zone moving together. Sure, we bumped heads sometimes, but we were successful together and really made some good things happen. Sounds like I'm gonna train a new Zone Leader, but we shall see what goes down . . . LOL . . . I might make a record for time as a Zone Leader. If I die as a Zone Leader, I will have completed 8 changes in the assignment. LOL . . . That's almost a year as a ZL! Hahahahaha! Tiring! Oh, well! It's good, good stuff and God has blessed me in the work. I've learned sooo, sooo much about leading in every one of those changes. I've become a much more effective leader throughout my whole mission and I've learned to think bigger rand to really expect to be the best and realize that we can do much, much better by small and simple things . . .
Hey . . . Happy Birthday, Luke!
Soooo . . . Nothin' happened in Gilroy with this big storm? People were calling me worried about all of you 'cause they heard the storm was gonna hit California. I knew you'd all be fine, but anything crazy happen there? Lemme know . . . It won't scare me . . . I know you're all fine.
This week, I did a Divison with Sayaxche Two with Elder Hale. He is a District Leader who had been strugglin' a l'il. Soooo, on that Division, we had an amazing day together! We put a baptismal date with two people and taught some amazing lessons . . . LOL . . . He was amazed with how good the lessons went, so I knew the Divison would really help him a lot. Plus, my Companion did a great job with Elder Hale's companion and they were both very strengthened in that day. Plus, one of the two baptismal dates we put went to church this week and he was never, ever goin' before! I called the guy . . . His name is Marvin . . . And he is very, very excited for his baptism and wants me to be there for it. We will see what we can do! It was a great day with Elder Hale, though! Great, great guy!
Oh! And we had another powerful District Leader meeting this week which was very, very powerful again . . . Which is part of what I think really helped animate our Zone . . .
Soooo, yea! I'm doin' amazing, though! I love you all sooooooo much and I appreciate you all so much! Hey, Dylan! Goin' to Gav? Hope so (big smiley face). Love you all! Hit me up!

My review of Mutiny on the Bounty
I just finished watching Mutiny On the Bounty, the 1935 Oscar winner for Best Picture. I really liked it. Clark Gable commanded the screen when he was on it, and his conflicts with Charles Laughton were tense. Some of the scenes were genuinely exciting, and the Tahitian women were lovely. This one may have been worthy of the Best Picture title. Next up, 1936's Best Picture, The Great Ziegfeld.

Insurance costs associated with Hurricane Isabel aren't expected to be as high as previously predicted because the storm weakened as it moved ashore.
AIR Worldwide, a Boston company that predicts risks for insurers, cut its damage estimate in half Friday, to $1 billion.
The revision was based on the fact that Isabel's winds dropped to 95 mph as it made landfall, rather hitting at the 110 mph expected when it seemed to be shaping up as a strong category two or a weak category three hurricane.

Four new ambassadors were sworn in on Monday in Belmopan. They include the new Ambassadors from Guatemala, Manuel Roldan and Oren Bar El of Israel. These two countries have a long history together – and, most notoriously, Israel provided arms – the famous Galil machine guns - to the Guatemalan government during its genocidal civil war. In fact, Israel became Guatemala's main arms supplier when the United States refused to do so in the late 70's. Those same weapons were used for sabre rattling along the Belize border. History tells us that a huge shipment of Israeli weaponry bound for Guatemala was seized in Barbados in the late 70's.
Jules Vasquez ased the new Israeli ambassador: "I ask specifically because of the history between Guatemala and Israel - which they are affinities in that history and they're alliances in that history which Belize and Israel do not share; perhaps looking at history one would conclude that Israel has a preference for Guatemala over Belize. Because they're some shared history between Guatemala and Israel."
Orel Bar El replied: "There is a shared history and we are very proud of our friendship with Guatemala but I don't see it as something that may compromise our commitments to Belize. Israel is not part of this dispute. On the contrary from our own history we know that if you have too many cookers in the kitchen it doesn't go very well. You should leave the people who are the local ones, they know much better than international expert ."
The history and the ongoing measures employed by Israel toward Belize and independent countries throught the world, clearly rejects broadening the ties with such a hostile and aggressive regime. The case of Guatemala and Belize is now occuring once again in Middle East were Turkey and Israel decided to assassinate Syrian President Bashar al-Assad in a joint operation based on the formal agreement between Mossad and Mit. According to the reached agreement, Mit is expected to select Syrian nationals for operational teams and Mossad is going to conduct effective training courses and provide technical equipment for the operation.

So: On April 9, 1805, Jerome Bonaparte went off to see his brother Napoleon, who was then in Northern Italy, leaving his wife Betsy and her companion Eliza Anderson behind in Lisbon. "Mon mari est parti," Betsy wrote in her notebook, adopting the language of what she hoped would soon become her adoptive country.
At this point Betsy was 5 or 6 months pregnant. Originally the young couple may have set off for Europe in hopes that their baby would be born on French soil, thus perhaps strengthening the validity of their marriage in Napoleon's eyes. Napoleon himself had no heir yet, and presumably another Bonaparte -- a little boy Bonaparte, that is -- would have been a welcome addition to the family.
But by the time Jerome and Betsy left Baltimore, the plan had apparently been amended: after Jerome was let off the boat in Lisbon, the rest of the party would proceed to Amsterdam, where they assumed Betsy would be allowed to land and have her baby. A letter to Betsy from her father, addressing her as "My Dear Daughter" and dated the day before her departure from Baltimore, instructs her to proceed to Amsterdam and await word from Jerome that he'd arranged for her to be received by the Bonaparte family. Her brother Robert was in Holland attending to business and would be able to provide for her needs until word arrived. If Jerome proved unsuccessful, Betsy was to return home as soon as possible. (A later note written on the document in Betsy's hand -- she apparently loved to annotate her correspondence in her declining years -- says, "He never addressed me as his dear daughter after the day of my destiny was over & the Star of my fate had declined." Indeed, the relationship between father and daughter was soon to deteriorate dramatically.)
And so the ship Erin set off from Lisbon for Amsterdam--its passengers apparently unaware that Napoleon had decreed that Betsy would not be allowed to land there. The journey was much rougher than the trip across the Atlantic had been -- "a very tedious and uncomfortable passage," according to the captain, that took 26 days, longer than the transatlantic voyage.
When they got near the Amsterdam harbor, they waited two or three days for a pilot to guide them in. When none appeared, the captain determined, "with no little Risk and Anxiety," to bring the ship into harbor without one. As they neared the harbor an elderly pilot appeared and began to guide the ship in. But within a few minutes a shot was fired as a signal for them to halt. "I asked the pilot if this was customary," the captain recorded. "He told me it was not. Yet no one suspected anything uncommon from it."
A few minutes later, another pilot boat came along and asked "if we belonged to Baltimore" and if they had come from Lisbon. When the captain answered in the affirmative, this second pilot told them they couldn't land, and left. "Our old pilot," the captain related, "now seemed to awaken as from a dream and was excessively frightened." He had suddenly recalled that pilots had been forbidden from bringing in this very ship, and "concluded by assuring us that if his age did not protect him he would be hung and would no doubt as it was get a severe flogging and imprisonment."
The pilot was in fact imprisoned. But the little party out of Lisbon hadn't yet felt the full strength of Napoleon's wrath.

I figured I'd do something health related today after spraining my ankle kickboxing last night.
So my dietitian recommended these to me to improve my stomach health. I agree that they probably do a lot for my stomach. What it doesn't do is anything for my blood sugar. The vanilla flavour is…I don't know, steeped in sugar? I really don't enjoy that. Cue me chugging it down with a straw before a big glass of water. However, I'm not defeated. I have a much lighter strawberry flavour to try. I'll let you know how that goes.
Rating: 2/5. Yay for tummy health, but the amount of sugar in these things is shocking. There is no way that can be good for you.
