jediknight2003 New Caney, TX 33, joined Jan. 2013	I feel it should be inhumane to cluster people so closely together, in any subdivision or enclosure. People deserve to have room to breath, however the development of the majority of living spaces is premeditated to maximize profits. I feel we should live in spacious nieborhoods, where people can connect and interact with the living environment in their own way. I've slowly begun to shape a small peice of my families land into a park type setting, with a vegtable garden and fruit trees scattered around. Childhood friends and new comers who bonded with the rest of us have slowly become a big family. They gather and play simple games, listen to music, and can enjoy coming home. We don't have to escape to some secluded resort, or get a pass to some park, we can just live out in the open freely. If neighborhoods were deliberately designed to give people a place to connect with, occupants would probably love it so much they would never leave. Which means stability. Complemented with a possible farming economy developing locally with fresh organic produce, the overall health would improve. The natural way of life at home would shift the overall perception and emotional state of people into a calm and positive state, having control over their small peice of the world. If communities were held to a higher standard of living, life everywhere could be so much simpler. Meet singles at DateHookup.dating, we're 100% free! Join now!

I'm in a rare position to provide a safe haven for my community. JFK once said, ask not what your country can do for you but what you can do for your country. I reject his line of thinking. Government employees can dwell on how they can help the country. Individuals can focus upon their own lives and their own communities. It's the only way they can appriciate them. Funny thing though, the more I do, the more the rest of my community wants to help. We don't need prisoners picking up our streets anymore, we take care of ourselves and look out for each other. If you always treat a child like a child, they will remain as a child. If you always treat people like incompetent criminals, they will remain that way, forced to obey and do the things against their own free will. All of our progress has only been a testimony to deception and control, countless lives have been wasted away for a few to live like gods, while generation after generation slips deeper and deeper into darkness having no stable influence in their lives.

If communities were held to a higher standard of living, life everywhere could be so much simpler. If you do look at the history of this country, our houses and property have grown in size. May not grow too much in some cities. Still it use to be about 20 people living into a small apartment till cars and roads became affordable and people started to move out of the city. Price for any homes is determine on how many people are after that spot. Take New York City, the price living there is higher then the rule parts of the state. Because many people want to live there, much want to be close to work. The market plays a part in that. However, much of the high price of homes is due to government sticking their noise in. Not only have government set price floors and ceilings on things, encourage building in flood zone with policies like the Nation Flood Insurance, the government has played a part in the rising coast of homes and the housing bubble. We got the idea everyone needs to own a home and owning a home will improve people. It resulted in the government using rules and regulation that force banks to give housing loans to people that could not afford it. Still, there have been times that the government did the right thing. One is homesteading which usually lets a person gain land with little to no cost as long as they make improvements on that land. Now some people got their nice homes by building most of it themselves. Of course this does take a lot of time. Even though those in government that make the rules think that everyone wants the same and try to make things as they say “fair” in the end they create more problems. Many people that come to America believe that America does not pressure you to live a short of life, which anyone can choose to live a life they decided upon. This does mean that some choose to live under a bridge and some in a palace like house. It is best that there some space between homes to allow for privacy, some will scarf ice that for other thing and apartment and subdivision will still be around.

Typically the reading at the faucet was 170 to 210 ppm. After running through the filter it was 0. I used the tester on the water we refill our jugs with from the store, it reads 0 ppm. I tested a cup of rain water one day that just happened to gather when I left a cup out on my porch. Guess what it measured? Zero parts per million.

We must realize that we are eternal spirits, and we choose to incarnate into this place and time just to master that life's teachings. No one else is going to live your life for you. However man's manipulations created distortions with our original plans as spirits... We were no longer able to incarnate and blossom along side our twin flames. So how does one bridge the gap, reconnecting the physical world with the spiritual world of premeditated perfection? We are the offspring of an extera dementional reality that's been altered repeadiy. Eventually man becomes the creators of life itself.

58dpilot Springdale, AR 62, joined May. 2012	This is all kind of funny. Monsanto creates genetically modified crops that are superior to native crops in some respects. For example their soybean fields can be sprayed with weed killer to eliminate weeds and increase yeilds without killing the beans. There is no nutritional difference in "natural" and genetically modified versions. The real crux of the issue is that they also developed another genetic modification that pisses farmers off. The seeds from modified crops are designed so they won't spout. Therefore to plant those special crops you have to buy new seeds from Mansanto every year. Monsanto designed that in to protect their research investment. Holding some back for planting doesn't work. Ever try to get tomato seeds from a store bought Wal-Mart type tomato to spout? Even seeds out of a can of "stewed tomatoes" won't today. They used to, but not today. In Europe before the advent of genetically modified plants you used to see tomato plants growing in the corn fields because they processed human waste into fertilizer and the tomato seeds survived all of that and still grew. Crops are modified today to produce a lot of yield and fruits that can be transported long distances without spoiling and nearly all have that pesky "don't reproduce" gene. That is where "organic" or "Heirloom" seeds come in. They are not modified and seeds produced by the crop will usually grow vigorously year after year. Home gardeners love that because they can have relialbe crops year after year without buying new seeds. On a commercial scale that doesn't work well, though. For example, if we had to use "organic" corn to make ethanol it would be prohibitively expensive. Corn without the genetic modifications is very expensive to grow. Aside from all that I think everyone should brush up on gardening and preserving and storing what they grow. When you do you should make sure to buy "Heirloom" seeds so you can save seeds for the next season. The reason is that today we cannot feed everyone without resorting to commercial agriculture. There are too many people and not enough traditional family farms. 90% of our population lives in cities. Most of them don't have the space or knowledge to grow and preserve their own food. I worked in commercial agriculture for years. Commercial agriculture is dependent on banking and loans to operate. Most family farms are dependent on that, too. If the economy or banking system fails they won't have the money to sustain their operations and the food spigot will be turned off. If that happens there won't be any food to buy within a very short time, perhaps days. People will literally starve, except those that grow their own food. That's a problem too, though. The people without any are goning to come try to take yours. Think you can protect and defend it? That's another subject entirely, but interesting to consider.

Are you completely ignorant to the fact that changing one aspect of your life can effect another part of your life? I seek lasting solutions that give people strength and freedom. So I had to begin from the ground up and reconsider our entire way of life. You for example, maybe if you had choosen a different path besides that of a pilot you would have been able to form a lasting relationship with a woman. Considering your position, the only feasible companion would have been a stewardess who traveled with you on every flight. It's completely irrational to think you can hold a deep bond without being there for someone, just like these guys who get married then sign up for the army. All they do is wind up paying child support and creating a bunch of fatherless children growing up in broken homes. Today we all focus more on money than on what it takes to build a family. In the end we realize we wasted our lives away just working for strangers and never really getting to know anyone.

In it she took filered water and divided it into two parts. The first part she heated to boiling in a pan on the stove, and the second part she heated to boiling in a microwave. Then after cooling she used the water to water two identical plants to see if there would be any difference in the growth between the normal boiled water and the water boiled in a microwave. She was thinking that the structure or energy of the water may be compromised by microwave. As it turned out, even she was amazed at the difference.
