The Human Condition

2006-05-03T10:30:00.000-06:00

Defined by wikipedia:

The human condition encompasses the totality of the experience of being human and living human lives. As mortal entities, there are a series of biologically determined events which are common to most human lives, and some which are inevitable for all. The ongoing way in which humans react to or cope with these events is the human condition. However, understanding the precise nature and scope of what is meant by the human condition is itself a philosophical problem.

The term is also used in a metaphysical sense, to describe the joy, terror and other feelings or emotions associated with being and existence. Humans, to an apparently superlative degree amongst all living things, are aware of the passage of time, can remember the past and imagine the future, and are intimately aware of their own mortality. Only human beings are known to ask themselves questions relating to the purpose of life beyond the base need for survival, or the nature of existence beyond that which is empirically apparent: What is the meaning of existence? Why was I born? Why am I here? Where will I go when I die? The human struggle to find answers to these questions — and the very fact that we can conceive them and ask them — is what defines the human condition in this sense of the term.

Although the term itself may have gained popular currency with The Human Condition, a film trilogy directed by Masaki Kobayashi which examined these and related concepts, the quest to understand the human condition dates back to the first attempts by humans to understand themselves and their place in the universe.

Stephen Colberts' Big Rocky Mountain Oysters

2006-05-02T23:31:00.000-06:00

Stephen Colbert at the White House Correspondents Dinner, Roasted President Bush in what feedscott will call a severe tonge lashing. Colbert said things about the President's Administration that anti Bush bloggers have been saying for awhile. The left has felt a jolt of validation and enthusiasm! Every one is saying Colbert had a ball or two. To bad no one in the Democratic Party can spark this kind of rallying response. Stephen Colbert is now the Rush Limbaugh of the left without all that crazy drug stuff.

People will Strike in Support of Mexican Slaves

2006-04-30T21:28:00.000-06:00

feedscott has not heard the illegal immigrant workers referred to as slaves, but that is what they are. Some illegal immigrants are working for below minimum wage and in unsatisfactory conditions. Whether they are called indentured servants or slaves these are the workers doing the jobs that most Americans will not do for below minimum wage. This is America's dirty little secret. Tomorrow thousands of people will protest for the illegal immigrants' amnesty, work visas, equal rights, and a chance at the American Dream! These people will not go to work or to school. Los Angeles California will suffer the greatest where an estimated 3 million illegal immigrants reside. The actual number is probably closer to 6 or 10 million.

The produce supply chain will be be affected as well as some restaurant services. Estimates of illegal immigrants nationwide are about 12 million. feedscott believes this number to be about 20 to 30 million. Logistically there is no way to locate and deport this many people. Even if marshal law was declared there are not enough resources to accomplish this mass deportation.

America and Americans must now come to the realization that the peaceful invasion from Mexico has been accomplished. There must now be plans made for how to accommodate these people. feedscott does not agree with the way these people came to the US, but the exodus has arrived over time. The first step must be to secure the borders with technology, not a wall. Second, a way to assimilate these immigrants must be quick, easy, and beneficial to the immigrants as well as the US.

Political Correctness Meet Global Correctness

"When asked about his play on the last day at Augusta, Woods replied: "I putted atrociously today. Once I got on the greens, I was a spaz."

In several countries, "spaz" is an offensive term for people affected with spastic paralysis, a form of cerebral palsy."

Read the whole story on Reuters: Woods apologises for spaz reference at Masters

In defense of Tiger Woods feedscott never thought of "spaz" as a offensive term when reffering to oneself. But, being in the global eye opens up a big high profile bag of worms.

Bush Now Seen as a President Without a County

2006-04-11T22:13:00.000-06:00

feedscott voted for Bush and feedscott would vote for him again, but not for a third term. The US needed a strong President. However, as recent polls show Bush with a 34% approval rating there are issues with the perception of President Bush. With Karl Rove at the Republican Spin Wheel one has to wonder if a strategy to blame the abundance of US problems on The President may have gone too far and spun out of control. The President now sees a decline in support from even staunch Republicans. feedscott believes The President wants out of office somedays as much as the opposition wants him out.

Hang in there W!

Immigration Imagination

2006-04-07T03:44:00.000-06:00

US Lawmakers are confused about illegal immigration for good reason. Imagine having to deal with 11 million to 15 million people in this country without legal documentation. An exodus mostly from Mexico has brought and brings people across the US borders to search for the American Dream and Jobs. Granted these immigrant people are breaking the law. However, this country of America was founded by immigrants who broke Mexican laws and Indian treaties to establish the USA. Paybacks are tough?

feedscott is in favor of amnesty for illegal immigrants without penalty, but with due process. If you want to live and work in America you have the feedscott blessing. If you can get here and you want to be here God Bless You!

The argument that illegal immigrants strain American resources eg. hospitals, welfare, and jobs is valid, but a diversion from the real issue of freedom and liberty. America is without a doubt the one of the greatest free countries in the world, despite our faults.

America's resources are taxed even without the extra load of illegal immigrants. America needs to change programs to accommodate current citizens and more immigrants that will be coming.

As far as Home Land Defense and National Security issues related to unchecked immigration. These topics will have to wait for another view tank post.

UFO Up Close Encounter

2006-04-04T13:50:00.000-06:00

There is no shortage of UFO documentation. Paper trails of sightings, pictures, and videos are everywhere. TV programs highlight the incredible to the insane stories. In the past if you said you had seen a UFO you were thought to be touched in the head, out of touch with reality, or on drugs. Well today discussing a UFO sighting is very much common place. So, today feedscott will come out of the UFO closet and tell you about an up close and personal sighting.

The year was 1991. The place was 91st ave and Federal in a suburb just north of Denver Colorado.

The time was early in the morning about 4 am. I lived on the second floor of a corner apartment facing west 1 block east of Federal. I was having a restless sleep, so I got up and was having a glass of water and sitting at the kitchen table. I was facing west looking out the window down 91st when I saw it. There was a object coming east down 91st ave about 20 feet above the telephone poles. It resembled a thick wing shape that spanned the width of 91st. The texture was semi transparent with a mix of colors that faded in an out. It made no sound whatsoever. At first I thought my eyes or street lights in the window were playing tricks on me. But, as it slowly came closer down the street I stood up and looked at it from different angles in the room and also went right up to the window for a better view. I watched it for a good minute and a half or longer. It crossed the intersection at 91st and continued moving east. At this point I had to change windows and when I did it was gone. Then I had a sense of curiosity to go outside on the north balcony, but I was a little apprehensive. I didn't want to be abducted. This was my actual thought! I went outside in spite of my anxiety. There was nothing. I looked east, north, and straight up. Vanished with out a sound or trace.

You may ask yourself why should I believe this UFO story.

First, I am an Air Force Brat aka (the child of an Armed Forces Soldier). I have spent half my life living on or around Air Force military bases and am very familiar with all forms of aircraft. I have never seen anything like what I saw that morning.

Second, this was not some light in the sky or object on the horizon. This sighting was less than 100 feet away from me.

Third, I am not presenting a picture or video that may have been altered. I am giving you my first hand testimony of what I saw and remember.

It doesn't make any difference to me whether you believe me or not. However, I hope you do. This object was an advanced technology. Whether it was earthly, celestial, or of another dimension I have no idea.

If it was earthly my guess it was a stealth military vehicle. Hopefully American.

If it was celestial (from outer space) maybe it was looking for cows? I don't know :)

If it was from another dimension. I don't know what it was doing.

I do know I saw it, and now I have shared it with you.

Washington Mutual Commercials: Funny or Racist?

2006-03-28T08:01:00.000-07:00

Have you seen the new set of Washington Mutual (Wamu) Banking commercials launched on 3/13/2006?

The commercials portray a young black man (the good banker) and about 20 mature white men (the old school bad bankers). The white men are kept herded in a corral. The black banker asks the white banker's questions about incentives for customers and the white bankers scoff at his suggestions. In one commercial an oversized guinea pig water feeder is lowered down to the white men. In another commercial caviar is fed to the white men with a giant spoon. The commercial is funny on different levels, but what is disturbing is the fact that the commercials single out white men as pets, animals, and slaves. Also, the commercial seems to say that all bankers of importance in the past are white men. Why did Wamu choose to divide strictly by race color?

My message to Wamu: Not a good PR move to promote yourself with racism. Shamu on Wamu!

Here is what Wamu says about the new campaign under news section.

Last Liberal in Central Florida agrees with feedscott

2006-03-20T22:52:00.000-07:00

In the view tank previous post Impeachment Is Not The Answer feedscott points out "We are Americans First." The Last Liberal in Central Florida agrees that jumping on bandwagons is "not providing anything original" and had this comment:

"If you are just reprinting Bogus Bush Bashing, or Bogus W Attacks...then you are not providing anything original. " and the same goes for impeachment.

Impeachment Is Not The Answer

2006-03-19T20:57:00.000-07:00

This post will be short and sweet. First, so you know I lean right. I didn't think we should impeach President Bill Clinton and I don't think that President George Bush should be impeached. This type of rhetoric undermines the US political fabric, detours focus of the US Government, and damages our foriegn relations. When affairs aren't going in perfect order the first thing we start hearing is impeach, impeach!

Before parties we are Americans and as such we should support our leaders. If you disagree with policy so be it. But jumping on the impeachment bandwagon does no party any good and camouflages and detracts from the real issues.

As for Jay, well he has a new class description: political geography and to Ward, don't trip to hard, manage the buzz bro. They are not real bloggers out to get you, they are just a figment of your hallucination.

Is abortion ever ok?

2006-03-06T17:49:00.000-07:00

Before the Oscars and the stars came out to play there was the keyword abortions that was being searched for on technorati. I noted this on the feedscott blog a couple days ago. The theme was "how to do it yourself abortion" and "how to perform an abortion" among other abortion related search strings.

feedscott view of abortion

Abortion is the elimination of life be it conscious or unconscious. Living cells that are or will become a human being are being destroyed.

I am against abortion, but I defend the parent’s right to have a legal abortion. Even though the female carries the child, both parents should have equal say in the decision. In a case of rape or incest the pregnant mother should have the full and final say with consultation from family, friends, or a doctor at whatever age that pregnant mother is.

Is abortion ever ok?

There are a lot of people who say abortion is not ok, except in the case of rape, incest, or if the mother’s life is in danger. Abortion is never ok! There are options for adoption in the case of rape or incest. If the mother’s life is in danger then that becomes a medical decision and less of an ethical one.

A woman should never have to give herself an abortion, go to an underground clinic, or leave the state or country to have an abortion. This is part of the reason I support legal abortion. I do not agree with it, but I support it.

This is a hot and sensitive issue. All comments will be posted excluding personal attacks and profanity. Please feel free to share your view points.
