John Lennon – Watching The Wheels
John Lennon – Watching The Wheels
People say I’m crazy doing what I’m doing
Well they give me all kinds of warnings to save me from ruin
When I say that I’m okay well they look at me kind of strange
Surely you’re not happy now you no longer play the gamePeople say I’m lazy dreaming my life away
Well they give me all kinds of advice designed to enlighten me
When I tell them that I’m doing fine watching shadows on the wall
Don’t you miss the big time boy you’re no longer on the ballI’m just sitting here watching the wheels go round and round
I really love to watch them roll
No longer riding on the merry-go-round
I just had to let it goAh, people asking questions lost in confusion
Well I tell them there’s no problem, only solutions
Well they shake their heads and they look at me as if I’ve lost my mind
I tell them there’s no hurry
I’m just sitting here doing timeI’m just sitting here watching the wheels go round and round
I really love to watch them roll
No longer riding on the merry-go-round
I just had to let it go
I just had to let it go
I just had to let it go

Gardasil Researcher Drops A Bombshell
http://thebulletin.us/articles/2009/10/25/top_stories/doc4ae4b76d07e16766677720.txt
“Dr. Diane Harper, lead researcher in the development of two human papilloma virus vaccines, Gardasil and Cervarix, said the controversial drugs will do little to reduce cervical cancer rates and, even though they’re being recommended for girls as young as nine, there have been no efficacy trials in children under the age of 15…”
“‘I came away from the talk with the perception that the risk of adverse side effects is so much greater than the risk of cervical cancer, I couldn’t help but question why we need the vaccine at all,’ said Joan Robinson, Assistant Editor at the Population Research Institute.”
“Dr. Harper began her remarks by explaining that 70 percent of all HPV infections resolve themselves without treatment within a year. Within two years, the number climbs to 90 percent. Of the remaining 10 percent of HPV infections, only half will develop into cervical cancer, which leaves little need for the vaccine.”
“She went on to surprise the audience by stating that the incidence of cervical cancer in the U.S. is already so low that ‘even if we get the vaccine and continue PAP screening, we will not lower the rate of cervical cancer in the US…’”
This is not the first time Dr. Harper revealed the fact that Merck never tested Gardasil for safety in young girls. During a 2007 interview with KPC News.com, she said giving the vaccine to girls as young as 11 years-old “is a great big public health experiment.’”
“When asked why she was speaking out, she said: ‘I want to be able to sleep with myself when I go to bed at night…’”
“She had been trying for months to convince major television and print media about her concerns, ‘but no one will print it.’”
“‘It is silly to mandate vaccination of 11 to 12 year old girls,’ she said at the time. ‘There also is not enough evidence gathered on side effects to know that safety is not an issue…’”

Concerning Halloween by James B. Jordan
http://www.biblicalhorizons.com/open-book/no-28-concerning-halloween/
“On All Hallows’ Eve (Hallow-Even – Hallow-E’en – Halloween), the custom arose of mocking the demonic realm by dressing children in costumes. Because the power of Satan has been broken once and for all, our children can mock him by dressing up like ghosts, goblins, and witches. The fact that we can dress our children this way shows our supreme confidence in the utter defeat of Satan by Jesus Christ – we have NO FEAR!…”
“This is a good place to note that many articles in books, magazines, and encyclopedias are written by secular humanists or even the pop-pagans of the so-called ‘New Age’ movement… These people actively suppress the Christian associations of historic customs, and try to magnify the pagan associations. They do this to try and make paganism acceptable and to downplay Christianity. Thus, Halloween, Christmas, Easter, etc., are said to have pagan origins. Not true…”
“These fundamentalists do not accept the humanist and pagan rewriting of Western history, American history, and science, but sometimes they do accept the humanist and pagan rewriting of the origins of Halloween and Christmas, the Christmas tree, etc. We can hope that in time these brethren will reexamine these matters as well. We ought not to let the pagans do our thinking for us…”
“‘He who sits in the heavens laughs; Yahweh ridicules them’ says Psalm 2. Let us join in His holy laughter, and mock the enemies of Christ on October 31.”

The History of Halloween Part 2
http://web.archive.org/web/20071222181511/www.new-life.net/halowen2.htm
“Regardless of the position you take regarding your family’s response to Halloween, if you are concerned about the evil associations with Halloween, you can rejoice that you can ‘resist the devil and he will flee from you’ (James 4:7) and that through the cross Christ has ‘disarmed principalities and powers,’ and ‘made a public spectacle of them, triumphing over them’ (Colossians 2:15).”
“I would certainly suggest using the holiday to teach our children about the triumph in Christ of God over evil. This should not be a night that we hide from in fear, but a night (like every night) when a Christian can stand confident in victory, because the One who lives in us is greater, than the one who lives in the world (1 John 4:4). ‘You, dear children, are from God and have overcome them!’ (1 John 4:4).”
“Holding oneself apart from the world is perhaps a good thing, but sometimes this is just an excuse for being afraid. We are reminded to be ‘in the world’ and ‘sent to the world’, as well as being ‘not of the world’ (John 17:15-18).”

Alone on a hill,
The man with the foolish grin is keeping perfectly still
But nobody wants to know him,
They can see that he’s just a fool,
And he never gives an answer,But the fool on the hill,
Sees the sun going down,
And the eyes in his head,
See the world spinning ’round.Well on the way,
Head in a cloud,
The man of a thousand voices talking perfectly loud
But nobody ever hears him,
or the sound he appears to make,
and he never seems to notice,But the fool on the hill,
Sees the sun going down,
And the eyes in his head,
See the world spinning ’round.And nobody seems to like him,
they can tell what he wants to do,
and he never shows his feelings,But the fool on the hill,
Sees the sun going down,
And the eyes in his head,
See the world spinning ’round.Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh,
Round, round, round, round.He never listens to them,
He knows that they’re the fools
They don’t like him,The fool on the hill
Sees the sun going down,
And the eyes in his head,
See the world spinning ’round.Ooh,

In grade eleven, two weeks after his sixteenth birthday, my oldest son completed The Mechanical Universe (university freshman physics text). He began Saxon Math 5/4 at age 7 1/2, and did every question in every Saxon Math book, including 6/5, 7/6, 8/7, Algebra 1/2, Algebra 1, Algebra 2, Advanced Math (Trigonometry), Calculus, and he just completed The Mechanical Universe (Physics). He is now starting Beyond The Mechanical Universe. He expects to finish it by the end of grade eleven and begin Chemical Principles (university freshman text) next summer before grade twelve. He has had no teacher except the textbooks.
My second son began Saxon Math 5/4 as soon as he turned seven at the beginning of grade two. At this point, he has completed every problem in Saxon Math 5/4, 6/5, 7/6, and 8/7 and he is within days of finishing Saxon Algebra 1/2. He studies the lessons without a teacher and completely works the problems himself. He just turned eleven and is in the sixth grade.

Cambridge Study Says 5-year-olds Too Young To Start School
http://www.lifesitenews.com/ldn/2009/oct/09102105.html
“A study of primary education by Cambridge University recommends that formal schooling of children should begin at the age of six, a year later than the present norm in the UK…”
“No evidence suggesting formal teaching environments benefited young children…”
“Introducing children at the age of five into the structure and discipline of a classroom could even be harmful…”
“‘If they are already failing by the age of four-and-a-half or five it’s going to be quite difficult to get them back into the system again. They are not going to learn to read, write and add up if you have alienated them,’ Pugh said.”
“The report recommends that children up to the age of six should instead continue the more informal, play-based education typically found in nurseries…”
“Other studies have found marked negative effects from the introduction of 3 to 5 year olds to formal schooling, including brain chemistry damage, aggression, negative social and emotional development, and illness.”

20 Things I learned in my week without my computer (from Jennifer)
http://www.conversiondiary.com/2009/10/20-things-i-learned-in-my-week-without.html
7. “The internet tempts me to over-value my own opinions (especially micro-communication tools like Twitter and email). This week I caught myself hanging on to every single opinion I had about anything, a habit I’d formed from constantly emailing and tweeting friends with every little thought I had. When I wrote the ideas down on paper to express later by phone or in person, I realized that most of them were pretty inane, things that I would have forgotten about altogether in the days before I had an internet connection.”
13. “Getting on my computer makes it very easy to forget what my goals for the day are. Especially because I have tendencies toward ADD, I go into ‘monkey with shiny object’ mode with all the great, interconnected information available on the internet; I all too easily get sucked in and completely forget what I was trying to accomplish in the day.”
17. “The same force that drives people to slot machines is what drives me to my computer. I realized that when I mindlessly get online, every time I click it’s like pulling the lever on a slot machine and hoping to hit the jackpot. I’m hoping to hit a virtual jackpot — a blog post that changes my life, an email that blows me away, a hilarious video on YouTube, etc. And the truth is that there’s enough stuff online that if I clicked on enough links or spent enough time on email I would get that payoff I’m looking for. But, just like with slot machines, I need to be careful about spending endless amounts of time just sitting around pulling the lever.”

The Domestic Monastery …
http://www.lifeissues.net/writers/ron/ron_14domesticmonastery.html
“For example, the mother who stays home with small children experiences a very real withdrawal from the world. Her existence is definitely monastic. Her tasks and preoccupations remove her from the centres of power and social importance. And she feels it. Moreover her sustained contact with young children (the mildest of the mild) gives her a privileged opportunity to be in harmony with the mild, that is, to attune herself to the powerlessness rather than to the powerful.”
