Subject: Took Ill Recently

Rushed to NASA where doctors Topper and Harvey operated. They had to replace a microchip in
my lower back - RIGHT SIDE. All in all the hospital stay wasn't all bad as I had a pretty nurse
defrag and clean me including my hard drive!

Fwd: Regular E-mail: Can He Do It?


Subject: Regular E-mail: Can He Do It?

THE CROWD IS HOLDING IT'S BREATH. He's taking a few practice shots. He feels loose. He's getting
into position. Wait! He took a step backward. He's attempting to regain his nerve. He waves to the crowd.
He's back in position. Here it comes...My house was built circa 1940. For years, I tried to find out what was here
prior to that. Last year, I called the Brooklyn Historical Society. I was told that they don't do research for
individuals. I'm not above exploited my disability. Cut to the chase...Bay Ridge Nursery and Greenhouse;
before approx. 1930 - likely woods. Oh no! He slipping. The crowd is shouting: "Get a grip. You can do it."
,,,Washington had a list of 110 rules regarding etiquette, manners and courtesies he tried to follow. Now Miss
Manners and the University of Virginia are creating a new list based on his list. It is sure is need today!
And teenage girls on the Internet - don't they have any respect for themselves. Years ago, I carried a cane
I rarely used it: sometimes you feel like a nut and sometimes you don't; Peter Paul's has nuts and Monds
don't. Sometimes,  you feel like a cripple and sometimes, you don't) and I would give up my seat to a women.
People looked shocked and stared. I don't mind attention. And, besides, I was just being a gentleman like I
was raised to be. Manners are disappearing just like morality! Strike out, Rick.

She composes poetry and prose. She was gracious enough to allow RICKADDSITE to post three of them. Here is the first:


Oh, what he does to me when he makes love to me
He makes me come alive, I won't quit now
You really get a hold on me
Oh, when he touches me
Ooh L`a L`a

It's like kittens purring, rolling and rolling around
In catnip for hours at a time
And when he kisses me
Ooh L`a L`a

It's like fireworks that never stop
And when he tell me, he loves me
The world stops because by then I'm going out of my head
He makes love to me and he blows my mind away
Ooh L`a L`a

Then again, he stares at me, intoxicates
The eye kisses me, makes love to me
My toes curl and my knees freeze
Ooh L`a L`a

Fwd: Perceptions: Whose Reality is Reality?




        Dear Fans,
       I intend to make a big and bold contention at the end of what represents one of my last e-mail/articles. Forgive
me that was shocking and callus on my part. I should have warned you to get a bottle of booze (I couldn't join you
having removed alcoholism gold turkey along with smoking as two of my personality traits) or a bottle of valium
before I hit you with that monumental news. Grow-up. Get a hold of yourself. Life won't end - just life as you
once new it. A message to virtually everyone else: I hope that you enjoy the party that you are going to throw
in order to celebrate. Caution: don't celebrate too much for I will continue to send my friends typical-amphetamine-
free-prosaic e-mails of the kind that you have come to love. All kidding aside: I enjoy there social nature.
      Bring it on...There are a few democrats in and outside of Congress who want to establish a truth squad to
investigate Bush and his administration. You know the one: he cut taxes big time ala Presidents Kennedy and
Reagan (the tax cuts had nothing to do with the present economic/financial crisis - - - that was courtesy of
Clinton and Frank regarding loans which triggered a much wider mess); protected us from another terrorist attack;
won the Iraqi was - - - establishing the first Arab democracy in the middle east; protected traditional marriage; crippled
the Bin Laden gang; got Libya to give up its WMDs; did more to help stop the spread of disease in Africa then the
so called black president - Clinton; prevented American health professionals using federal funds from committing
murder (abortion) when doing humanitarian work in foreign countries - Oboma is allowing it; strictly
limited embryonic stem cell research - I'd oppose it even if it meant that I could walk again, adult stem and am biotic
flued research is more more promising  - nonetheless, Oboma isn't going my way.
      As a republican I want a truth squad established to investigate the Clinton/ China connection. It was only
superficially examined. Follow the money. Missile technology for China. Al Gore not knowing why he was
collecting envelopes in a Buddhist Temple in California!
      Truth? What the hell do liberals know about truth when their media and public school are so one-sided.
They wouldn't know truth if it went up Barney Frank's ass! Physicist Haldane once said in another context, "The
universe is queerer then we imagine; the universe is queerer then we can imagine." (Perhaps, I should join P.C.-an-
onomous?!) Do you favor thruth commissions?
Commander-in Chief ,,,The president takes an oath to protect Americans from enemies foreign and domestic in
time of war. Lincoln suspended hubious corpus during the civil war. Roosevelt (a darling to liberals) kept enemy
P.O.W.s until the end of World War Two without specific charges against them and interred hundreds of thousands
of Jap-Americans. War Crimes: only to liberals who want to grant terrorists and enemy combatants all the
legal and civil rights of American citizens. I got a great idea: let's exhume Rooselt's decaying body and prop him
up on a witness chair and lodge charges against him like a 13th century pope did against his predecessor!
      Where has my America gone? It's gone away. Times are a-changing. And all the time the president knew
it and all the time Pelusi knew it...I never thought that the day would come when 40% of my bank Citibank (Citi-
corp) would be owned by my uncle Sam.
      The House that are founding daddies built... The liberal government has one wreaking ball and the liberal
unions the other. The old Protestant work ethic is in the gutter. Do you think that spending millions on
studying pig farts is going to create jobs and stimulate the economy/ Do you think modeling our economy on
a zero-growth economy like France will encourage people to work hard in a society that wages class warfare? Correct me.
Tell me what's good about the so-called stimulus plan.Tell me what's good about socialized medicine.    Tell
me what's good about increases taxes on those who create jobs: the rich and the corporations. Tell me why
you should struggle to pay your mortgage and the mortgage of someone who got in over their head because of
Clinton and Frank? What would you do if you were president.
      Speaking of Paul...More and more it seems to me that today's Christian churches are based more on Paul, Luke
and Emperor Constantine then on Jesus and the 12 apostles. Paul never met Jesus but claimed to have a vision
of Him rising. It didn't sit well with some of the Apostles that he considered himself the 13th apostles.His
Christian church triumphed over the Apostles' People of the way. About three hundred years after Jesus was crucified
Constantine declared Christianity to be the official religion  of the Roman Empire    and authorized the creation of the New Testament.
75% of it is written by Luke; 50% is written by Paul or is about Paul and Luke's Paul.
       After Al Gore created the Internet...On the first day, he created the Internet and saw that it was good; on the
second day, he created global warming and saw that it was good; on the third day, he went to a Buddhist temple
and saw the alms were good.
       On being macho and being afraid: it's not nice to mess with mother nature or God...virtual reality,
holograms, sex-change operations, human cloning, babies having babies; single mothers, genetic engineering,
cyborgs, androids, evolutionary biology and psychology, quantum physics and nanotechnology scare me to death.
        I warned you at the beginning that I was saving something big, bold and shocking for the end (stop
doing cartwheels and shouting 'hallelujah.'). I hereby contend that I know more about what's going on outside
then people who go outside. Sometimes it's better to step inside to get a better view of outside. Is it better
to be at a ball game or watch it on T.V. (where you get instant replays from various angles and tons of
statistics). The average person is woefully uninformed and parochial in their perspective (I need to reread, "How
to Make Friends and Influence people" its been years).I studied the history of entertainment in America from
the late 1700s to to the present, therefore, I am in a better position to judge the quality of writing, directing,
acting, composing and singing. I know more about what's going on in public schools them most parents know.
I know of the past 4 major studies onl global warming that 3 indicate that little or know global warming is
taken place. I know that I know more about science then Al. Liberals politicians lie and the lie is trans
mitted via the liberal media and schools. I studied things that I don't like - like art, I occasionally watch
channels that I don't like - like G4 and Current (on the fourth day Al created this cable network) to keep
tabs on some 18 to 35 year olds. Religious channels with youths active in their faith. I know that younger
people aren't an homogenous group the way the media generally portraits them. I know the
difference between the GDP and the GNP. I know about different cultures and the problems faced by many
of our senior. I am cognizant of the fact that the lousy, little, lying liberals (how do you like this alliteration?) destroyed traditional morality
and the fucks should burn in hell (I already signed up for PC training!).
    On facing your fears... I am aware of the fact that the answers aren't necessarily in ancient writings. The answers to our
most profound questions lie were we fear to thread in the Twilight Zone. The answers to our deepest
questions, our salvation and our eternity lie in our mind (where are feelings and personalities lie (figuratively speak-
ing in our hearts), dualism, relativistic physics, quantum mechanics, our genetic code, astronomical
evolution, geological evolution, biological evolution, string theory, m-theory, computer technology, neurons/
computer chips interface,  nanotechnology, pantheism, deism, nature and GOD!
      Outsiders vs. Insiders...Harriman said of Krazy Kat: "May in some soon time...let in the light which is
now to our meager vision denied...for you will understand him no better then we who linger on this side of the
pale."
      See you in the funnies...
                                                                                                     STANDING TALL-outside in,
                                                                                                      Rick
     

Fwd: addendum


Subject: addendum

Self - you are the product of everything you learned in the order that you learned it; you are the product of everything you experienced in the order that you experienced it; and you are the product of everyone you have known - espec-
ally your parents. Genetics is too simple in comparison.

Fwd: WHAT'S BETWEEN MY EARS?


Subject: WHAT'S BETWEEN MY EARS?

      Dear Other Selfs,
      Don't worry about paying your rent: the liberal/secular media's messiah has arrived. Actually. I wish him
the best - he is my president and Bush left him a financial mess. The liberal biased media doesn't want you
to know that Billy-boy Clinton made it possible for individuals with little or no credit to get mortgages through
Fanny and Freddy! President Bush thought that it was good idea to allow low income people to have the
opportunity to own a house until '93 when he realized that the policy Clinton implemented '98 had gone too
far. He tried through executive decisions in '93, '94 and '95 to rectify the situation to no avail. He directed
republican leaders to raise the issue with the chairman of the Senate Banking and Finance Committee, Barney
'is my skirt to short' Frank. He was told that there was a housing problem that could turn into a crisis. He
refused to take any action and claimed that the republicans were making things. He was on watch and there
were no problems. And then came the domino effect: the mortgage domino fell leading to the fall of   investment
bank and wall street dominos. By the way, he. Oboma and other democrats were receiving campaign
contributions - some for many years - from Fanny mae and Freddy Mac - - - both of which are semi-independent
federal agencies. Possible crime here. Do you that the democrats will investigate their own. They and their
liberals cohorts in the mainstream media will continue to blame Bush. You should spend some time thinking
about the big, profound, cosmic questions before they place you six feet under. As for the democrats in
congress - they were born with strong liberal genes...

     The mind-body problem: Sociobiology; Tabula Rasa and Saving Self.
     At least they don't tell me when to speak or go skydiving: Or, do they?!
     Physicalists are philosophers who like most computer scientists, evolutionary psychologists and neuro-
scientists harbor the view that the mind is physical and that mental states are neurological states or prop-
erties. And most of them subscribe to the sociobiological perspective regarding mind: intelligence; con-
sciousness; thought; perception; memory; emotion; will; imagination; unconsciousness; personality; behavior.
There's more in your genes then you think! neurons are the brains nerve cells and cells contain genes. You
can be born with a strong homosexual gene and therefore are likely to grow-up to be homos. They can't help
being what they are anymore then you can, as a result, their life style should be excepted as normal
and condoned by society and recognized by government. (They aren't immoral -Bible; they aren't abnormal - trad-
ional biology). You can be born with a strong criminal gene. Consequently,criminals shouldn't be severely punished
they just couldn't help but shoot that guy. As Ann Courtler points out in her book,  The church of liberalism:
godless" Why is it that liberals say that child molesters shouldn't be imprisoned but    should receive psychotherapy
instead. Weren't they born with a strong child molester gene? They can be helped but homosexuals can't.
(I paraphrased somewhat). You can even be born with a strong nasty gene or a strong greedy gene - you
got the idea. You programmed like a computer!
    Some say that it's part nature(genes) and part nurture (environment). I don't find this argument palatable.
X was born with a strong nasty gene and Y a weak nasty gene. What determines weather or not he will grow up to be nasty? They should just drop nature from the equation.
    Their strongest argument: twins separated at birth have a 50% chance to grow up to have a similar person-
ality and background. I don' find their argument compelling.
    Bible: man has free will; traditional biology: human's have the most advanced brains and therefor aren't
slaves of their biology.
    Tabula Rasa. Ibn Sina, Persian philosopher in the 11th century, "human intellect at birth is rather like a
tabula rasa (blank slate), a pure potentiality that is actualized through education and that knowledge is
attained through empirical familiarity with objects in this world from which gains abstract, universal concepts
which is developed through reason ; observations lead to propositional statements which when compounded
lead to further abstract concepts." The theory - originally proposed by Aristotle - has gone virtually unchanged.
    Clearly, psychosis are the result of genes or structural brain structure damage. The meaning of facial ex-
pressions made by infants are universal.
    Saving Self: at this juncture, we can all agree that genes determine hair texture, eye color, eventual height, 
congenital and hereditary disease, etc. There can be environmental constraints on realization. Genes might
indicate that an individual will be  tall and muscular due to lack of food or sanitary conditions or other factors in
which the individual inhabits this might not come to pass,
    Supporters of dualism maintain that mental phenomena are in some respects non-physical. They hold the view that phenomena may be perceived through a person's senses  or with the mind and the mind doesn't exist in non-
living things. Mind is subjective and isn't spatial (height, length, width) like brain or brick. Some dualist go so far as to suggest that mind and brain are properties of an unknown substance.
    Let's put all are cards on the table...The average man is much taller and stronger then the average woman; 
male ad female chromosomal differences; women tend to be left-hemisphered (cerebral cortex) while Rick prefers the right (in more ways then one).
    Let's make some assumptions: intellect and reason (the higher functions partially genetic-jury still out).  John Pokinhorn,
physicist and priest (how's that for a combo!) states, "reductionist - replicating, information processing, and
existing is all that they think that we do."
    We take in data through our senses and neurons light up as a result of the input while other neurons light up to generate a response. Memories are held in neurons and neural connections. Our mind can light up neurons in dreaming, day-dreaming and when engaging jn abstract thought without sensory input. matter and energy are
two forms of the same thing as are particles and waves.
    You see the sky and the pond floor when you look into a pond. Some photons of light bounce off of the
water a strike your eyes while others bounce off of the pond floor. Quantum physics isn't deterministic. It
can only talk in terms of probabilities. The probability of weather a particular photon will bounce off the water
or floor. Is the photon thinking? no, energy can't think.
    What is mind? A phenomenon that accompanies another phenomenon is usually parallel to it and is related 
in some way to it - precise electric correlates of conscious things in the human brain. Option one: mind and
brain are different forms of the same thing; option two: mind fills out, completes, compliments brain; mind is
made up of a mysterious unknown substance.
    I'm going with option one: the abstract, imaginations dreams, will and emotions complete brain. It isn't genetic. Husband and wife complete each other; wave and particle complete each other; matter and energy
complete each other. There different manifestations of the same thing and interact with each other.
     I was born with a strong conservative gene. Issue two: the science-politics problem. Was this a political or
science article? With a nod toward Mozart, Einstein and Edison...
                                                                                                     My A.D.D. Self,
                                                                                                     Rick
