Scientific Study Shows That The Powerful and Privileged Are More LIkely to Lie, Cheat, and Steal →

Yet more evidence that power corrupts.
Period
It took
… the resonance of a joint objective,
the harmony of a shared intention.
the reward of mutual experience with
our natural instinct for adventure, and
the evolutionary advantage of 13 million
years to make you who you are right
here, right now, reading this. The whole
of your existence demand you take the next step aware.
“Those who cavalierly reject the Theory of Evolution, as not adequately supported by facts, seem quite to forget that their own theory is supported by no facts at all. Like the majority of men who are born to a given belief, they demand the most rigorous proof of any adverse belief, but assume that their own needs none.”
—Herbert Spencer, The Development Hypothesis (1852)

In a comment on Aug 12 2010:
Thank you Mr Fregon, that was both profound and fun, just the way it should be. Always.
Observe that all legitimate rights have one thing in common: they are rights to action, not to rewards from other people. Rights impose no obligations on other people, merely the negative obligation to leave you alone. Rights guarantee you the chance to work for what you want—not to be given it without effort by somebody else.
The right to life, e.g., does not mean that your neighbors have to feed and clothe you; it means you have the right to earn your food and clothes yourself, if necessary by a hard struggle, and that no one can forcibly stop your struggle for these things or steal them from you if and when you have achieved them. In other words: you have the right to act, and to keep the results of your actions, the products you make, to keep them or to trade them with others, if you wish. But you have no right to the actions or products of others, except on terms to which they voluntarily agree.

Considering that there is only one universal right that we can all realistically lay claim to, wouldn’t that imply the argument, no matter how eloquent the refrain or astute the opinion expressed by Mr Fregon, it’d still be moot?
And would that right like she and all her ilk exist with opposite but equal responsibility, it would seem that choice should be the yang to freedoms’ yin.
As a universal truth it would certainly purport to fit the requirement, and with due consideration to various reports on scientific evidence of the conclusive nature of belief in perception, the apparent ease with which we manage to adjust our moral code to believe whatever we consider to be advantageous in the moment, and the unequivocal findings of the limitless possibilities of positive predilection, and an attitude of conviction towards a shared and mutually beneficial outcome can have, perhaps it is fitting there is only one, shared, opposite but equal right.
Thank you Mr Fregon, that was both profound and fun, just the way it should be. Always.

I object to Tumblr Staff Blog Posts
PLEASE MAKE THE STARBUCKS GIFT VOUCHERS STOP!
Not that I consider myself the next Rupert Murdoch or Chaing Kai-Shek by any means, but I was picking up a follower here and there!
At least that was the case until my stream of Tumblr consciousness got polluted by Starbucks Coffee Gift Vouchers, compliments of the Tumblr Staff Blog no less. Not only has my spurious but oh so welcome followers dropped to a weekly average of 0, but my Twitter stream has been relegated to spam and they seem to propagate quicker than I can delete!
Someone please help!
inspirational
come to think of it, its not capital
in meaning at least. hardly any
impression in its expression, but
right now a personal best, the
highest honour bestowed and a
pinnnacle of what I would consider
success. someone said i am.
“It is the tragedy of our time that the average individual learns too late that the materialistic concept of life has failed utterly in every department of living.”

Garden variety belief
Just like your every day garden variety belief
A-ber-a ke-da-bera works if you believe it too
To make it come true the worst you can do is
to choose a shitty attitide when reality demands
more than what you have for what you need, but
what you expect in any event, in every given case.
