2. Does You-Know-Who know about this?
And does it make him cry?

3. Yes I know Boener knows about this.
And as I said I don't think it is about him.

It happens when people find different ways to fight the same problems, and fight each other when doing it.

Becuase if you fight each other, then you don't work on many of the problems.


But what do I know. I know there are many doctrines trying to get you to think an individual is of more worth then someone else. To even feel superior, I see the same doctrines that tried to get me to do things in many places.


They are trying, so I think it is think and feel also.


And I am still due beer and travel money...

5. That would be depending on him seeing what I write.
Also that would assume he would get that letter, if he does not see what I post here, why would he see a letter like you mention.

Basically that is about not fighting, if I get someone to tell me that posting thoughts here has no effect, then they can continually try to get me to find a way through a maze.

I contend that if I write him a letter like you say, or post here, or say something anywhere, that it would have the same effect since it is based on what is correct. However I don't mind expressing things here, even if some people think they are taking those ideas. They wont be able to hold onto the thought that they are taking anything.

I do understand that you are translating 'taking of guns' to him having beer and travel money, even as the idea that people take what I post here and use it for themselves.


Why would I need to ask him anyways, I know where it is. The question is what method would you use to correct a situation.

6. People often write their
Congressmen and women, their Representatives, and some get replies, and some don't. I once wrote to Barbara Boxer about getting Jobs back into California, and it took her six months to reply, but she did write! Many a representative would have simply ignored the question, or have their secretaries mail out a "canned" response to their constituents, with the excuse that they can't personally spend their entire time reading the mail, when there is work to be done.


You have a serious question. Though Boener is a Republican, he is supposed to represent all Americans in the House of Representatives. However, if you don't think you could get an answer from him, there is always the White House. Its seems the President appreciates a beer once in a while as well as traveling. Perhaps he might have an answer for you, or something useful to suggest.

8. Mostly because
you are always saying you never have enough money for Beer and Traveling. I can't count the amount of posts I have read where you talk about that. With so many posts, it must be important to you.

Yet, you probably have the power to get both. If one can dream a thing, one can have the thing, one dreams about. Thats what we are always told. How does one obtain such a thing? There are many ways... My personal favorite comes from the late, Bruce Lee.


If you put water into a cup, it becomes the cup. You put water into a bottle and it becomes the bottle. You put it in a teapot it becomes the teapot. Now, water can flow or it can crash. Be water my friend.~ Bruce Lee


Be flexible my friend..

9. I am not saying I don't have enough money for beer and travel.
I am saying I am due money for beer and travel.

I posted the clip of him saying that years ago, in a clip "the lost interview of Bruce Lee"



It is important, it allows for living with justice and compassion, since I was asked to accept existence without justice to get those items. Getting them is important as an acknowledgment of balance, and because they are due.

Although even though it is due, it is not owed, since I do not hold that debt against people.

It is a statement of a fact, not a request, and not a demand. Why would I not state something that is true, and has not been argued to be not true.

As far as being flexible, that is part of things, although I would guess you get that from a combination of a single word in a song.

Being able to post that song, even though it says something that is not 100% is being flexible isn't it.
