Message from Abraham

There is a big mix out there, and there are lots of different things going on, and there is not one way that was intended to be the right way. Just like there's not one color or one flower or one vegetable or one fingerprint. There is not one that is to be the right one over all others. The variety is what fosters the creativity. And so you say, "Okay, I accept that there's lots of variety, but I don't like to eat cucumbers." Don't eat cucumbers. But don't ask them to be eliminated and don't condemn those who eat them. Don't stand on corners waving signs trying to outlaw the things that you don't like. Don't ruin your life by pushing against. Instead, say, "I choose this instead. This does please me. --- Abraham (Excerpted from the workshop in Rye, NY on Sunday, October 12th, 1997

Esther Hicks is an inspirational speaker who dialogs with a group of spiritual teachers who call themselves Abraham.)

Porn viewing runs amok at DC agencies

Wed Jan 23, 10:28 PM ET

An investigation of city computers found that dozens of employees frequented pornographic Web sites at work and clicked on thousands of images, the mayor said Wednesday.

As many as nine district workers from various agencies, including the Child and Family Services Agency, will be fired after an internal investigation found that each had clicked on porn images more than 19,000 times last year, Mayor Adrian Fenty said.

An additional 32 employees who each visited porn sites more than 2,000 times last year will be suspended or reprimanded, he said.

The investigation did not reveal any evidence of child pornography, said acting D.C. Attorney General Peter Nickles.

The probe of 10,000 city computers was launched last month after the city received a complaint from an employee about other workers browsing and downloading pornographic content on government computers. Officials eventually uncovered abuse at 18 agencies.

The city has installed filtering software on its computers that is supposed to block access to porn sites and display a message informing the user of the city's Internet policy.

Hippie Outbreak...

Virulent strains of Hippies

Many of the original Hippies are still around and have proven to be extremely difficult to control, even after decades of effort

Once infected, a community may never be able to completely eradicate Hippies, especially in light of the new resistant strains.

Hippies can survive in a community for decades, only to reappear when stimulated by a liberal protest or music festival.

Even when Hippies are in remission we must always remember that they can re-appear, even after decades of dormancy.

Pascal's Wager...

"Pascal's wager", i.e., the argument made by Blaise Pascal on pseudo-mathematical grounds that a man ought to bet on the existence of God and lead a good life that will gain him entrance to Heaven, because if he's wrong it doesn't matter, whereas if God really does exist, then clearly the "return" on his wager is infinite.
