Sackett v EPA

[PKT_VOL]

Given enough information, I think you would also agree with the second part.

I would have to have that information

Are you fluent in Vietnamese?

God no. I am horrific at foreign languages. Not my thing at all. Plus I am dyslexic, so I have a hard enough time with English the way it is. You should see my posts before spell check.

I have a friend who is fluent in Chinese who taught English in Taiwan for a while.

He is also an accomplished musitian.

Funny story, he and some of his friends were contracted to play the soundtrack for an animated movie.

He thought it was going to be some sort low budget thing and took his sleeping bag with him.

They put him up in a four star hotel!

Life is full of surprises. I will say you can make good money teaching English in Asia. Not in Vietnam though lol. I have friends in China and South Korea doing the same thing as me and getting paid bank.

It's sometimes like another guy I know who wrote a movie script about Jimmy Rogers 'the father of country music' and he knew first hand what he was talkiing about and everyone in the music business from Johnny Cash on down wanted to do a cameo in the film if it was ever made. They even had a Model-T PU truck like Jimmy came to Nashville in, (before leaving in a Packard after making a buck or two.)

He sent the script to Hollywood, thinking he could make the movie on his own for about $500,000 but asking for funding of $5,000,000, he recieved the reply; "we don't consider projects for less that $50,000,000 in production costs."

My advise was that he should say his secretary had made a typo and he had fired her dumbass, amend the proposal to reflect a $50,000,000 project cost.

He should have taken my advise.

For real, that is quite a difference in operating cost for a movie. He ever make the movie?

What sort of volunteer work do you do in the hospital?

Assist with various things in addition to teaching them English.

1. Read 'tragedy and hope' for starters.
It was written before the EPA was created but it wouldn't take a rocket scientist to see how the EPA dovetails with the plan outlined in the book.

2. Since you are also and atheist, I can only hope you don't suffer from insomnia, you would probably sit up lots of nights wondering if there was a dog or not.

I was a Russian translator at one time.

I could speak Italian and German well enough to pass for a native, things are cheaper that way.

In Paris my host told me, 'Your French is atrocious,' English was difficult in England, I couldn't understand what they were saying most of the time.

As a hobby I learned to say hello in 75+ languages.

Then I learned that a good bit of what I had learned was mostly bogus. For instance for Chinese I learned (sounds like) 'neen how' which means good day. Then I learned the expression was only used in English occupied areas of some cities, one taditional Chinese expression of greeting is 'have you eaten today', however you say that in the Chinese language.

Another is that I learned that 'salaam aleikum' is used in both Urdu and Swahili but that isn't necessarily true either, It's Arabic and although it may be used where Swahili live, they have another expression in their own language and not all people who speak Urdu use the muslim expression.

3. Cheap assed commies!

4. Nope, I've learned to really hate most hollyweirdos, especially Al Gore's Harvard roommate Tommy Lee Jones, he's is a lying assed bastard just like AL.

5. Keep up the good work. :good!:

1) Haven't read it yet, but if I get the time I'll have to look into it.

2) a) Not atheist; I am pantheist.

b) That's truly impressive. When travelling, it is wonderful. They will often talk in front of you about the real price of things thinking that you don't know the language. Helps a lot. I would love to be able to pick up language that easily. Comes from being right hemisphere dominant. I'm very left hemisphere dominant. The ex was very good at language, I was jealous of her skills. Likewise, she was jealous of ability to pick up sciences, logic, math, econ, etc. with no sweat.

3) Agreed.

4) I'm not into pop culture so I often never pick up on the fact that there is controversy within the realm of celebrities.

5) Thank you. cảm ơn in Vietnamese.

How does 'cam on' translate litteraly?

Pan the god of wine, swell guy in my book.

Oh wait, that probably isn't pantheism.

Probably then you would enjoy reading the Tao.

There is a great new translation written during the 1990s that is the first to write down the oral version.

The written half of the Tao has been around for many thousands of years, the oral tradition is sort of like Plato's dialogs, it is a series of conversations between the sage and the young prince, very interesting and thought provoking.

Another recent book (which I've not gotten around to reading yet) is "Christ the Eternal Tao."

It's written by an Eastern Orthodox monk.

The Tao means the way, so the thesis of the book is that when Jesus said "I am the way, the truth and the light," He was saying that he was the physical embodiment of the way (tao).

As for passing for a European, we asked a guy one day how he could invaribly peg the Amereicans in a crowd, he said; "the shoes man, the shoes."

So I bought me some Italian slippers for about $15 and I bet it saved me $1,500 or more over the long run.

Plus ... I meant to add this gleaned from the U.S. Trade & AId Monitor:

The Government of Vietnam will receive U.S. assistance in carrying out clean energy development in that nation, a measure that the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) says will help the Obama Administration to execute its global "climate change" policies. The March 23 presolicitation notice (#486-12-020), which U.S. Trade & Aid Monitor located via a routine search of the FedBizOpps database, says that the main goal of the Vietnam Clean Energy Program, or VCEP, is to: support clean energy development through the increased use of renewable energy technologies and energy efficiency practices, and by providing support to the Government of...

Whether you agree with the international drive to deconstuct America using environtalmentalism or not, you still have the right to make a profit yourself, don't come home broke is my best advice.

As for 'tragedy and hope', most of it is on line now, google that and que in any word, like banking or BIS.

A couple of books, 'more than money' and 'sermon on the mount', both first published in 1939 are very well worth reading for anyone.

As far as I know, it literally is just "thank you".

I am on the last few pages of my current philosophy book (600 page book of various elections divided evenly on six subjects). The next book, is an very detailed analytical book of the "Masterpieces of Philosophy". The first selection is Tao. Which means I will be reading it in the next couple of days. I am pretty excited. The thick book on the Philosophy of Religion (which I brought with me) and had to read in college did not have a Tao selection. I found that odd.

As for the story of Jesus, there are eerily similar tales all over the world. It raises some interesting philosophical questions in various areas of study.

As for passing for a European, we asked a guy one day how he could invaribly peg the Amereicans in a crowd, he said; "the shoes man, the shoes."

That's funny. It's amazing how simple things like that can change your whole experience.

1. Me too. The Tao is the Rolls Royce Silver Cloud of philosophy as far as I'm concerned.

2. The only one I am familiar with is the Greek, Asclepius.
(Consider also the book 'He Walked the Americas', available on line.)

Are you familiar with the 13th sign of the Zodiac, the Healer, or the Snakebearer?

As I understand astronomy, he will be entering again into the belt of the Zodiac at some point.

A brief passage from Tragedy and Hope:

"The Power of financial capitalism had far reaching plan, nothing less than to create a world system of financial control in private hands able to dominate the political system of each country and the economy of the world as a whole.

This system was to be controlled in a feudalistic fashion by the central banks of the world acting in concert, by secret agreements arrived at in frequent meetings and conferences.

The apex of the system was to be the Bank for International Settlements in Basel, Switzerland, a private bank owned and controlled by the world's central banks, which were themselves private corporations.

Carrol Quigley, Tragedy and Hope, 1966

Oh, and I meant to post the following and may have but just didn't delete it from my notebook: (fyi)

From the 'U.S. Trade & AId Monitor';

See how the EPA plays into the plan yet?

Hey GS I know you have told me before but for the life of me I can't recall. You is your Avatar of. I have seen him before.

No, I am not. It sounds like I would have to wear a tinfoil hat to be into that.

I see government waste. There is no amount of money that can help Vietnam develop clean energy. It is a fail on many different levels.

Hey GS I know you have told me before but for the life of me I can't recall. You is your Avatar of. I have seen him before.

William Szathmary aka Bill Dana aka Jose Jiminez the Jungarian Hew, the funniest comedian ever imho.

He will be 88 his next birthday and is still performing.

His instructions as for what to do if lost in space is priceless, it would be terrific advice for Barack Obama.

No, I am not. It sounds like I would have to wear a tinfoil hat to be into that.

The Magi that brought gifts to the birth of Jesus were probably astrologers, at least they were observers of the heavens.

The healer or snake bearer is a constellation just like the other constellations in the belt of the zodiac. At one time it was in the zodiac and after enough time elapses it will be back. At least I've read that, I not really into astrology, too much like crystal balls etc.

The Greek legend of Asclepius, grandson of Zeus is similar.

Looks like the government program is consistent with our domestic policies, ever stop to think they be designed to fail but work to establish more worldwide authority for the gentlemen mentioned in Tragedy and Hope?

EPA backs down in another case:

EPA drops order against Range Resources in Parker County case - Dallas Business Journal

Range’s challenge against the order was pending in the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit when the EPA withdrew the order on Thursday, according to documents filed Friday in the U.S. District Court of the Northern District of Texas.

“Today the EPA finally made a decision based on science and fact versus playing politics with the Texas economy," Commissioner David Porter said.

"Resolving the lawsuits with Range allows EPA to shift the agency's focus in this particular case away from litigation and toward a joint effort on the science and safety of energy extraction," the EPA said in a prepared statement. "EPA and Range will share scientific data and conduct further well monitoring in the area, and Range will also provide useful information and access to EPA in support of EPA's scientific inquiry into the potential impacts of energy extraction on drinking water."

In the last few days I have read a lot about Tao, Confucianism, and Zen Buddhism. I also read about those who try to unite Jesus Christ and Taoism by his phrase "I am the way."

Taoism is not what many people in the West think it is. It is very deep and does not conform with Western thought or Western religion (such as Christianity) at all. The people who try to blend Taoism and Christianity either don't grasp or completely dismiss the essence of Taoism. They are really not compatible at all.
