    About This FREE- E-book

    I offer my work for free to the whole world, DRM free, to

    facilitate discussion and discourse about the issues that

    global humanity faces today. I am not here to become rich

    monetarily, rather, I seek to enrich others with a view of a

    future where tolerance for others, for equality for all, andfor peace on earth, exists.

    If anyone charges you a fee for this book, look elsewhere

    And please consider sharing with anyone and everyone

    you knowwhether they agree with whats here or not

    I believe in an Open Source future where whatever can

    make the human species better for all of us here, should

    be free for all humanity to share and explore

    About the Author I have worn many hats Garbage Crew, Janitor, Painter,

    Maintenance, Geologist, Surveyor, Engineer, Public SchoolTeacher, College & University Professor, and Photographer, since I

    first began working in 1983.

    Of late, I have become a philosopher, seeking to emulate the

    passion and service to humanity that greats like Dr. King, Jr., andGandhi and others performed in the 20th Century. I feel a deep

    need for a 21stCentury version whom serves all of humanitys

    needs for peace, and economic and human rights equality.

    I believe people should be more concerned with helping others

    first, and then helping themselves later. I believe as long as one

    person on the planet has no home, is starving or thirsty, has their

    human rights trampled on and are abused, and people are

    prisoners of conscious in places without human rights, the human

    condition is in need of repair .

    Chapter OneThe Psychology of Acceptance

    The case of The Bird insight into how perception changes our

    view of reality (Sub-title)

    If I were to use word association, and give the clue Bird, whatwould you the readers think? How would you respond? Think for a

    moment the first thoughts that you think of when you read this. Now,

    what if I asked you to visualize the bird? Can you do so? What if I

    were to ask you all to imagine the sound of the bird? What do you

    hear or would you think you would hear? What are the properties of

    the bird you can describe to me? Can you say anything about thesize, the shape, the color, the species, the constructional elements,

    the movements, or the feel of the bird? Can you tell me where the

    bird lives? Can you tell me about its family? Can you tell me about

    its lifestyle? What else can you possibly imagine perhaps, how it

    might look stuffed? Of course, that word too has multiple meanings

    can you think of how many?

    In the absence of information, or context, there can be a huge variety

    of possible meanings and interpretations related to this solitary word

    bird. Now, let me explore with you all, dear readers, some

    perceptional challenges on the next page.

    Perception of Challenge The word is the bird. We have on the previous page, explored a

    myriad of possible ideas we create in our own minds, related to the

    concept of the bird. We are influenced in our mindful wanderings

    and musings by our own past experiences, our own toolbox of

    learning, and of our cultural or worldview experiences. Let us

    discover together, what happens when I now toss into the situation,

    a multitude of perspectives.

    Your best friend tells you how beautiful the bird she just saw was

    what comes to mind now, that may or may not have been there

    earlier?

    A sports fan says they remember when the bird was one of the best

    pitchers on the Detroit Tigers now what comes to mind? Anyone

    see that one?

    A friend of yours said he saw your least favorite person give the bird

    to him has your view of what the bird means changed at all?

    The Movies Inspire Me We just read a very brief expository of how word usage alone, needs to be socially

    defined, and the knowledge of such meaning socially constructed. It is the

    programming of the environment around us, as well as our own inner passions and

    interests that can point us either in the intended direction or the wrong direction the

    speaker or writer meant. Let us explore now what happens when folks spin an

    issue and how that affects us in our views and beliefs about the validity.

    Factual data The temperature, pressure, and humidity of the outdoor environment

    at location A is 70 degrees F (21 degrees Celsius), decreasing pressure

    overhead, and 90% humidity.

    Here now is where personal opinion changes the meaning of the actual factual

    informationthe temperature outside at A is a pleasant and gorgeous 70 (21)

    degrees, with a cold front moving past, and some low fog in the valleys. Compare

    this view with this oneThe temperature outside here is a sticky hot and muggy

    70 (21) degrees, with decreasing pressure, a bad hair day alert with the high

    humidity in the air, and a danger to drivers on the freeways out there keep your

    lights on. Compare this to the following statement the temperature outside is aperfect warm day, with just enough humidity in the air to make for awesome fog

    shrouded photography, and with a high chance for precipitation and storms, adding

    to the drama of todays weather, a perfect companion to this Halloween season.

    Or this viewThe weather is bad today, with high temperatures (for Alaska this

    time of year), lots of fog for the bush pilots to consider, and a high chance of

    stormy precipitation later today.

    We see how whom we know can create or mold meaning for a

    variety of words, as well as the emotive value attached to such

    words by others. Lets explore some other forms of what I am

    weaving together here like strands in a basket underwater

    Factual Data 1- People on earth have a variety of shapes, sizes,

    colors, and physical attributes. 2 Quizzes were given to volunteer

    subjects of a variety of ages, genders, ethnicities, and religious

    backgrounds. 3 Scores were calculated and demographic and

    personal attribute data were cross correlated

    Spin Time 1- Those with foreign sounding names got the lowest

    scores in reading and writing English. 2 females scored lower in

    science than boys. 3 People with Blue eyes scored the highest of

    all test subjects. 4 Folks from a particular geolocation did better

    than people from elsewhere. 5 Those whom were a particular

    ethnic group, or religious affiliation scored well below average on allsubject matter. 6 Those whom wrote the test knew all the correct

    answers(!). 7 - The test is a valid and accurate measurement of

    student knowledge.

    The Freedom Writers Call us All to Question it all

    This past year, I finally got to see the movie Freedom Writers (as well as

    PBS Freedom Riders). The movie does an excellent job of highlighting great

    teaching techniques and how some of us are in it for the right reasons (as

    opposed to those whom are in it for the pay alone), as well as sowing theseeds of young adults to be critical thinkers and questioners of what they

    see, hear, or read.

    Taking the previous page, one must ask what each of the 7 claims made in

    the spin section mean, and how to know when and where to ask questions.

    Many of the statements I wrote, use a literary device that should bring to mind

    issues such as stereotyping, racism, discrimination, and intolerance. Thefirst rule of control is to create a problem in peoples minds that

    perceptionally there is a problem with one group or another. Every nation at

    war does this with regards to the enemy War brings propaganda campaign

    and ideas such as Dirty Japs, Jews as Devils or subhumans, the Evil

    Hun, The Axis of Evil, Axis or Allies, Friend or Foe, Eye for an Eye, and

    so on.

    Once demeaned, berated, scapegoated, and dehumanized, then it becomes

    easy to sway entire peoples to believe that those not like you and I, are in fact

    a grave danger, a problem that needs a final solution, and a whole nation

    thereby supports such ideas.

    The Psychology of Pseudoscience Decades ago, a brilliant study was performed where students were told that those with

    blue eyes, were of superior intelligence, and therefore, they would be getting final

    grades of A, while those with other eye colors, were ranked at progressively lower

    and lower final grades. The reaction is a landmark study in psychology. We see today, in our world, where people we hold in high esteem, or look up to, or are

    in positions of authority, make claims, to which we simply believe it to be true because

    it must be so, since they said it was so. Teachers, Politicians, Religious officials,

    Scientists, and TV Reporters all give a view of the world, through tainted glasses.

    Unless one deals in specific facts alone, everything ever said has subjectivity included

    in its very utterance, or writing, or singing, or painting, or whatever. Only facts alone

    are objective, and even they can be subjectively manipulated to spin one side of a view

    or another.

    Consider the question as to the validity of a test being a good measurement of a

    students knowledge? So much is at stake with high stakes testing that determines

    whether schools stay open, continue to get funding, or teachers stay in the classroom,

    yet in reality, these tests are all multiple guess, fill in the blank questions, that has one

    right answer, one or two sort of close answers, one wrong answer, and one bogus

    answer. Those whom can play the game, those whom have some knowledge, canprobably do a elimination round, to figure out which answer might be right, or not.

    Give the same students a blank sheet of paper, with only questions on it, where they

    have to answer with their own words, their own sentences, with no clues for or

    against, and you may get different results as to whether students know the subjects or

    not.

    Years ago, there was a moonlighting episode that referenced a Shakespearean lesson from the

    Taming of the Shrew, where one is asked is it the moon or the sun that shines during the day. The

    point of the matter, is similar in ways to some of the prisoners dilemma concepts, where control is all

    about getting others to believe that what you believe is what they too believe, even when they did not

    originally. Star Trek NGT has also done shows exploring this human element. When people

    anywhere, whom are held as being somewhat truthful in their statements, link A with B, then by

    reverence, we believe A and B are in fact linked. What one does not know is if this is factual, orsubterfuge designed to create a mindset leading to a possible desired outcome.

    Go back to the original query about the bird which of the views of the word were the one I meant

    when I asked the question? Well, it would depend on whom told you additional information about the

    bird, would it not? If your best friend, a presumably reliable source, said the bird was attractive, you

    might envision plumage like a peacock or a parrot. If your friend was a baseball player, you might

    think it had to do with a pitcher for the Tigers. If your least liked person said something about giving

    the bird, you might envision a bad word, slang. Of course, giving the bird could also mean simply

    passing the bird from his arms to the arms of the other person, as a gift. Now remember thetemperature and humidity problem the facts are what they are, but the spin, really changes how you

    view such data as something pleasant, or something to fear, or something to be in awe of. Same

    data, just different perspectives. Now, think to the idea of people with eye color being smarter than

    someone else, or that people whom look different than you, are somehow sub-human, or are the

    enemy. Perspective is important when it comes to determining how to react to any news story, or to

    any event, or to what anyone says or claims to know. More than a decade ago, NASA scientists

    presented to the world, some meteorite, whose chemical analysis and electromagnetic investigations

    provided proof positive that life was elsewhere. Carl Sagan was one of the vocal critics of such a

    story, and offered us all words to live byextraordinary claims require extraordinary proof. The

    story, like Cold Fusion a decade before that, were found to be of insufficient truth to be real.

    Remember that folks, the next time anyone tells you, that these people, (fill in the blank) are the cause

    of this problem (fill in the blank). We should all, everywhere, in every nation on Earth, of any

    ideology, and every gender or ethnicity, be critical in believing what those in authority tell them about

    whom is to blame for anything. One only think of Hitler and his condemnation of Jews in Germany

    as the cause for the problems there, with the result being 6 million people murdered, gassed, shot,

    and butchered in self delusional acceptance of a fallacy idea.

    Part TwoHumor Break

    I do have a sense of humor, and it is one of the techniques I

    used in the classroom all the time, including random Ad-Lib

    jokes, canned humor, and on the fly humor to match the

    situation. In fact, the singular award I ever got from students

    was in 2003 from Baker College, from the Student body, for

    using Humor in the classroom and making learning fun. So,here I share a small collection of my own jokes I made up,

    often while being inspired sitting on the honey bucket I use

    as a fecal matter and excremental collection and recycling

    If a physicist is in the forest, and breaks wind, would any others know if it was an

    SBD?

    extrapolate that to the other 7 billion people here on Earth, and now wonder just how

    many peoples farts are you intaking with each and every breath?

    I wonder how many toots it would take, to lift off from the surface of Vesta, given anaverage volume and duration of tootiness, were I an astronaut and I had a vectoring

    nozzle for thrust.

    Is it better to rip a really loud fart in an elevator full of people, or, pass out a nasty

    blaming each other for the smell

    Current News Issues

    Recent polls have begun to circulate about whether certain aspectsof social services is constitutional or not.

    One must recognize that many of those saying such social

    endeavors as being not the federal domain, are those whom make

    so much money they would never need such services in the 1st

    place

    Those whom promote the status quo, as the way to maintain things,

    only do so, because they themselves benefit from doing so. Once

    the shoe is on the other foot, the concept of capitalism is quickly

    discarded by anyone with no money, no home, no retirement, no

    insurance, and so on. Capitalism only works when there is enough

    money to do what is needed once there no longer is enoughmoney, some other system must be tried, or the inevitable results is

    decline in standard of living and less and less social and humanistic

    services offered, including education, police protection, fire

    protection, EMS, libraries, lighting, sanitation, and environmental

    Foreclosing on homes proves

    banks are in it for money alone

    For any mortgage company or bank to foreclose on a home, rather than torenegotiate the debt, is a lose lose lost game, with no winners.

    When banks foreclose, people get put on the street, kids, and pets too (some

    even get abandoned with the home)

    Cities lose on all the tax money lost and on the decrease in property values,

    thereby leading to reduced city services

    Banks lose the value of the home, and so lose too, with little or no return onthe investment

    So, if foreclosing makes losers out of everyone, why is it a game that even

    gets played at all?

    Far better to renegotiate the loan, reduce the payments, reduce the interest,

    spread out the debt longer, than call in the debt for doing so, makes it seem

    like the banks are in it for the money alone, yet the stupidity of it all is, theyend up losing money on the deal, where if they would keep the deal alive,

    would still be making money, and people would still have homes, and

    housing values would not plummetin the end, the banks incompetence to

    see the end result of their own greed has made losers out of us all

    When creditors threaten you - The pursuit by creditors of bad debtors, the suing of people, the

    attachment of liens, the garnishment of wages, the rejection of

    employment for bad debt, and the harassing phone calls, intimidation,and swearing, or even repossession, all prove one thing that money

    alone is more important to some, than being a follower of Jesus, or in

    loving our fellow human beings

    No Christian should ever be a debt collector, for Jesus himself begs us

    all to forgive and move on, not to do harm to others, and to not chase

    greed and profit alone When money becomes more important than human lives, the system

    must end

    Human lives should never have a value attached to them, for they are

    beyond price

    Money itself as a concept must be tweaked to a concept where it only

    enables people, and never inhibits people from doing the great thing The best way to get back at any creditor, is to go bankrupt, to voluntarily

    give back what they want, for in dong so, they lose all control and have

    zero power over you

    Debt as control Debt has been used for centuries here in the USA and elsewhere, as a means

    of control The economic hit-men prove that one of the best ways to obtain power, is to

    get others in debt, to string them out, and to get them so in debt to you, that

    you begin to start telling them what to do, what resources would work in lieu

    of money on the debt, that the debt is more important than serving ones

    own needs, and asset transfer such as ports, infrastructure, oil, or contracts,

    all lead to absolute exploitation in the end There is one absolute way to end the power of control debt has over people,

    states, and nations discharge the debt, nationalize the assets owned by the

    debtors, and go bankrupt as a person, nation, or whatever, and stick it to

    those whom abused you. In such action, there becomes freedom, and with

    freedom comes liberation and equality for all of your people.

    When debt is more important than food, education, housing, medicines, then

    the debt is bad debt, and must simply go away. Refuse to pay on it and

    refuse to acknowledge its powerthe power to say NO to debtors is

    something they all fear most of all for once people say no more to the

    concept, their power over people and nations ends

    The lesson not learned yet In the early 1970s, there was a oil embargo, with the result being no gasoline

    here in the USA for a period of time

    President Carter, in the late 1970s, set forth official US policy of energy

    protection - energy security

    In essence, energy security meant securing the oil

    Compare this policy to Brazil, whose population of 150 million or so (1/2 the

    USA) uses almost 100% domestic sources of energy such as biofuels for its

    energy requirement no need for importation of fuel, and no foreign military

    needs

    Since the 70s, the USA has fought 3 wars in the general area of the middle east

    (4 if you include Libya), to secure the oil

    We remain addicted more so than back in the 70s even George Bush Jr.

    remarked we are a nation of addicts

    My SUV gets 13 mpg it was made in 1990. In the 4 decades since the oil

    embargo, corporate average fuel economy standards for vehicles is now in the20s or low 30s, with President Obama pushing for low 50s by 2025.

    It took only 1 decade to go from Yuri Gagarins orbital flight and Alan Shepards

    sub orbital flight in 1961 to land boots on the moon in 1969. It has been 4 times

    that long since the oil crisis of the 1970s and yet the world consumes oil at an

    unreal rate25Free E-book - DRM free, written by Michael Jeffrey

    Guns make killers out of losers

    Humans have used weapons to murder each other for thousands of

    years in fact, the Ice man mummy from the Alps, some several

    thousand years old, have been identified as possible murder remains

    The mere presence of having a gun makes it much more likely that

    someone will die, either from someone shooting someone else, or

    someone shooting themselves

    Famous people whom would still be alive were it not for guns

    1. Abraham Lincoln

    2. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.

    3. Mahatma Gandhi

    4. Arch Duke Ferdinand whose very assassination sparked World War 1

    5. John Lennon6. Anwar Sadat

    The hypocrisy of Americanism Charlton Heston, great actor some awesome roles like Moses, and Planet of

    the Apes and the Battle for the Planet of the Apes

    Famous lines he spoke in the movies The ten commandments - do not kill

    Damn, you, you blew it up!

    Nova! (press the nuclear Omega bomb button ending life on earth)

    From my cold dead hands (holds up a rifle)

    Since the assassination of Dr. King in the 1960s, around 1 million people have

    been victims of gun related violence here in the USA alone source the Bradycampaign web site

    How many people are killed by knives, baseball bats, mugging, and so on,

    versus how many have been murdered by guns

    It was access to guns that made mass murders out of the Norway Shooter this

    past summer, the Fort Hood shooter, and the Arizona shooting early this year

    Seems to me, people would rather protect the right to bear arms, than the dutyto protect our fellow humans from those whom use such arms to murder others.

    Far better to get rid of handguns and all weapons not useable for hunting

    purposes alone

    In a world where accidents occur all the time

    Should this planet, and our species, have tens of thousands of nuclear weapons, in a

    dozen or so countries spread across the planet, on alert, moments from nuclear

    annihilation of some enemy? The only reason anyone has the bomb today, is because someone else has the bomb

    The psychology of fear drives states to want to be nuclear, to protect themselves from

    others whom are nuclear as well

    Accidents occur all the time. Look at these accidents or natural disasters, and ask

    yourself do you trust a world with tens of thousands of nuclear weapons, when just one

    singular accidental launch and detonation, could incinerate millions instantly?

    1. Challenger disaster

    2. Three Mile Island

    3. Chernobyl

    4. Titanic

    5. Russian Moon Rocket

    Gunboat DiplomacyRedox 2

    Gunboat diplomacy, the usage of military assets to promote a

    diplomatic agenda, has been the US status quo since the days of

    Teddy Roosevelt Such a posture uses fear of direct military intervention to achieve ones

    goals.

    Such a geopolitical game, creates an image of the US as a potential

    threat to others. Psychologically this leads to other nations building

    up their own military forces, leading to arms build ups, and potential

    increases in tension, rather than decreasing potential for conflict

    Such a force posture is offensive by nature, and is not what one would

    do for defensive purposes alone. Power projection, by definition, is a

    threatening psychological game.

    We do this for decades to those we do not like, yet when they do the

    same to us, and send ships off our coasts, we act as if that is sowrong. Wait til China someday starts this off of our coasts

    The best way to promote peace worldwide, and to reduce arms

    expenditures as a planet, it for all nations on earth to only be litorally

    defensive in nature, as opposed to projecting power

    Some random thoughts of

    my own for you to ponder1. A crime against humanity is only a crime if someone else does it?2. Its OK to try Nazis at Nuremberg yet its not ok for our troops to be tried for any

    crimes?

    3. The success of a species is not defined by the success of a few, but by all members of

    the species

    4. When the enemy kills civilians, it is called murder, yet when our weapons or troops

    do, it is called collateral damage

    5. The entire concept of vengeance is counter culture to the message of Jesus, whom

    says to forgive and to turn the other cheek when struck one wonders how many

    wars would be not fought the past millennia, if one attack was not met with a response

    in kind?

    6. Why is it that everyone else has BO, yet we dont stink?

    7. Why is it that milk from cows and goats is sold yet human breast milk cannot be?

    8. Why are nursing moms told to get off buses or cover up in public, while the evening

    news shows the dead bodies lying in our city streets shot by our own people here at

    home over something stupid like colors, signs, bling, vehicles, gangs, gesticulations,

    immigration status, or wealth or poverty?

    9. Why is radicalism and liberalism a bad word or concept, yet inequality of wealth,

    warfare, intolerance, racism, discrimination, our way or the highway, non-negotiability

    considered fine and acceptable?

    Endgame The whole point of what I am leading up to, is, that the only reason wars are still being

    fought, 66 years after the atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, are because the

    world still uses military force, and violence, as a solution to world problems, when the

    mind, intellect, logic, emotion, facts, should be the sole basis for geopolitical disputeadjudication

    As long as one nation has a military, it is pure psychology that other nations will feel a

    need too, to have a military, to invest in new technologies and to make implements of war.

    If the entire planet learned from Einstein to be pacifists, and understood that the true

    message of Jesus is pacifism alone rather than violence as a solution to any problem, we

    could rid our world of the concept of war entirely

    How much talent could be utilized by our species to do the great things if we as a speciescollectively united to solve the great problems of the 21st century today

    1. Feeding 7 billion people today, with projections of 9 billion by 2050

    2. Spreading Gaias wings and lifeforms to Mars and beyond as permanent self sufficient

    settlements

    3. Ending the worlds usage of fossil fuels and going 100% green energy

    4. Curing diseases and cancers

    5. Educating every human on earth in humanistic core curricular studies

    6. Guaranteeing equality and human rights for every human on the planet

    7. Ending a global economic system of debt, interest, profit, loss, speculation, fluctuating

    values, middle men, greed, and economic exploitation and inequality

    8. Sustainable minimalism and eco friendly development for the future, and the protection of

    soil, water, air, and our fellow passengers animals rights37

    Final Thoughts update 10-21-2011

    I was watching the CBS evening news tonight, and saw the graphic images of Qaddaffis

    death. In fact, more than the show was about this and war in general

    I saw family members of the Lockerbie bombing, saying YES! in response to the horrific

    video

    As long as a species celebrates the death of others, even when such death is brutal and

    criminal in nature, in essence, murder, one wonders whether there is a future for a species

    long-term. Whether its killing former nazis, Osama, Hussein, Qaddaffi, criminals on Death

    Row, and so on, and openly praise God, or be jubilant, or delude oneself into thinking that

    murder is somehow justified, the ends never justifies the means murder is murder, no

    matter how heinous the person or people being killed. Thinking killing someone is justiceor a victory is a awful indication that all whom believe such action is valid still have the

    mindset of cave men. In a world with tens of thousands of nuclear weapons, this kind of

    cave man mentality must go away, or the species has no future

    By the way, all 2 billion Christians, like me, whom truly believe in the message of Christ,

    should not be jumping for joy, fist pumping, or anything, but instead should be filled with

    sadness as I am, for having failed Jesus and his message of peace, forgiveness, and

    moving on, as opposed to vengeance, murder, and murder disguised as justice. Any humanists, whom want a future for the generations to come, should be sad at the death

    of any human by the hands of another, for to kill someone else, makes a murderer out of

    those whom did the killing, and every single one whom remains silent, or worse, openly

    supports such action. I weep for all on all sides of battle whom die, and implore the human

    species to grow up, and move on beyond the psychology of hate, towards an enlightened

    future of peaceFree E-book - DRM free, written by Michael Jeffrey

    In a world with tens of thousands of

    nuclear weapons, the concept of justice,

    vengeance, revenge, tit-for-tat, striking

    back, and pre-emption, could end the life

    of the entire species. The cave man

    mentality of thinking it is OK to killothers, for any reason at all, as being OK,

    is one step removed from Hiroshima,

    Nagasaki, and Zyclon B dropped from the

    showers to the innocent victims of Nazigas chambers
