Frustration Galore! Science, Politics and Music

So here we are...

In the early stages of 2010 and I am incredibly worn out from the sheer number of articles by the so called media and their coverage of what they refer to as "scientific evidences" debunking myths held by the politically and morally conservatives.

For example; Liberal Senior Study


"While the surveys did not provide data for the same individuals at different stages, they represented snapshots of the changing attitudes of respondents in different age cohorts over time".

The part I put in bold represents why the study in my opinion is not scientific. The basic problem is ignoring the cultural shift towards liberalism in America by the bombardment of liberal ideologies in the media and education system.

You cannot say people become more liberal without using the same survey with same person surveyed at different times. You also cannot correct the assumptions without interjecting subjectivity or bias. Hence whether you are conservative or liberal, it is nearly impossible to have a "study" that does not reflect your bias.

Using a fallacious argument of my own experience, the journey from liberal extremism to conservative was one of exploring outside my own bias looking for truth on my own rather than having truth handed to me.

From that journey, I found that there is a general lack of maturity regardless of education, intellect and upbringing. I cannot help to think that there is some subliminal psychological defense mechanism designed in to protect and justify what amount to as basic selfishness.

On the politics front, I'm seeing politics get uglier and uglier. I made a video in 2008 to help educate people about the Hope and Change that was being offered. Many people ate up the rhetoric and now are paying the price for their anti-Bush bias that clouded better judgment. It is clear to me that the media is either stupid or complicit in ushering in a new breed of politician that has been indoctrinated in the philosophies of Karl Marx. There are several indicators people should look at but because even though socialism and communism are justifiably stigmatized, many people are unaware or uneducated enough to see the transformation taking place in this country.

Several things have been causing most of the frustration, one of them is the idea the Republican Party, is on cahoots with big industry because of their preference for a more capitalistic view on the economy and government. According to the official records, since 2000, the democrats have received more money from corporate America every year with it reaching a 4:1 ration in 2008. I have a spreadsheet I have made showing that the promises made by the current Administration were never intended to be fulfilled. The Democrat Party is now the richest and most powerful in History. They planned to shove socialized health care down the people throat for their own good. They planned to take over any corporation that does not play according to the "New Socialism Party" of Government first, people last. I will save most of what I want to say for the movie I am working on.

On the Music front, I haven't been able to finish a song yet. I have been helping my good friend Joe Stark work on his album and teach him how to use Pro Tools. I did shoot some video and recorded the drums into Pro Tools but there was this clicking and popping that I have not yet isolated. By reverting back to 8.0.1, it has been reduced but it still exists. After 2 or 3 weeks of working on a section of the video where it's seems to be song worthy, a couple of un-fixable screw-ups made me finally kill the Session and delete it.

Having a bout with some depression is not helping my outlook even though I know that Romans 8:28 and Philippians 4:13 are true... If I could only overcome chemical imbalance with intellectual balance...

Jesus IS Lord!
