United States of America is now the UNITED SOCIALIST STATES OF AMERICA.

Galileo

"On the morning or Wednesday, June 22, 1633 Galileo knelt before the tribunal and obediently declared:I, Galileo, son of the late Vincinzio Galileo, Florentine, aged seventy years, arraigned personally before this tribunal and kneeling before you, Most eminent and Lord Cardinals Inquisition-General against heretical pravity throughout the entire Christian Commonwealth, having before my eyes and touching with my hands the Holy Gospels, swear that I have always believed, do believe, and with God’s help will in the future believe all that is held, preached and taught by the Holy Catholic and Apostolic Church. But, whereas, after an injunction had been lawfully intimated to me by this Holy Office to the effect that I must altogether abandon the false opinion that the sun is the center of the world and immobile, and that the earth is not the center of the world and moves, and that I must not hold, defend, or teach, in any way, verbally or in writing, the said false doctrine, and after it had been notified to me that the doctrine was contrary to Holy Scripture, I wrote and printed a book in which I treated this new doctrine already condemned and brought forth arguments in its favor without presenting any solution for them, I have been judged to be vehemently suspected of heresy, that is, of having held and believed that the sun is the center of the world and immobile and the earth is not the center and moves.

Therefore, desiring to remove from the minds of Your Eminences, and of all faithful Christians, this vehement suspicion rightly conceived against me, with sincere heart and unpretended faith I abjure, curse, and detest the aforesaid errors and heresies and also every error, error and sect whatever, contrary to the Holy Church, and I swear that in the future I will never again say or assert verbally or in writing anything that might cause a similar suspicion toward me; further, should I know any heretic or person suspect of heresy, I will denounce him to this Holy Office or to the Inquisitor of heresy, I will denounce him to this Holy Office or to the Inquisitor of Ordinary of the place where I may be…" (The Discovers; Boorstein, page 325-326)

Nothing has changed in 400 years. There is scientific fact and the Church still does not accept it instead believing false ideas that can be proven wrong. The Church is not about what is the truth; it is still about power, money, and controlling people though a false belief system.

Book of Five Rings

I was watching a show on the History Channel the other night and it was about what the Japanse consider the greatest Samurai warrior of all time; Miyamoto Musashi. Near the end of his life he wrote a book called "Book of 5 Rings." Basically a philosophy by which a person conducts their interactions with other people and an individual strategy to live your life. Here are some basic points from his book:

1. Do not think dishonestly.
2. The Way is in training.
3. Become aquainted with every art.
4. Know the Ways of all professions.
5. Distinguish between gain and loss in worldly matters.
6. Develop intuitive judgement and understanding for everything.
7. Perceive those things which cannot be seen.
8. Pay attention even to trifles.
9. Do nothing which is of no use.

Continental Drift

The North and South Americans contients are moving away from Africa esimated at 1cm to 10 cm per year. That means that if the earth was 6000 years old x 10cm (take the biggest amount)/year = 60,000 cm's. Converting this to km = .6 km. That means that if you live on the west coast of Africa you should be able to throw a rock onto South America; if the Earth is 6,000 years old.
