Mission to Mars Eggx

After reading various articles on the possibility of Martian life.. terraforming Mars, Martian seas, and the various incredulous reactions which come with these above mentioned possibilities....it seems that we are never going to go where no man has gone before....atleast in my lifetime:( This is by far my most saddest thought as I foresee a mundane existence with disruptions from volcanoes, floods, tsunamis, shrubby idjuts, religious propaganda, and my transition into afterlife...in order to realize this dream.....I am hoping to issue Mission to Mars Eggx....what are MMEggx? These are contributions of money, ideas, clothing, propaganda for one singular cause.....reaching Mars.

Complex theory of Mental Evolution - II

ran·dom (răn'dom) Having no particular pattern, purpose, organization, or structure. There are various evidences of random happenings in our life. Random by its very nature is irreproduce-able, meaning its occurence is unforeseen, can not be scientifically computed. In day-to-day life, some people call it co-incidence, kismet, schicksal. People look at stars, planets, zodiacs, horoscopes, palms, skulls, tarots, perform yagnas. or sacrifice lambs to either predict or overcome these unforeseeable, unwonted often unwanted events. Though, a large enough repetition of these events may lead to counter-events for  every Ying has an equal and opposite Yang. Even God - often known as "the one" has an equal though opposite "one" Satan, heaven has hell. The balance of life -- brahma and shiva, darth and luke, good and bad, light and darkness. Luckily, Random infrequent events take a long time to generate their equivalent counter-events......but they eventually will -- especially when we travel large distances over 4 Dimensions. Is that why God only endows upon us only random acts of kindness, luck, and fortitude? It is to limit the evil counter-events because if he revealed himself in his complete grandeur, it would also strengthen Satan. 

God is smart. Religious polarization is sowing the seeds of atheism. And vice-versa. The only escape is the middle...the golden mean! Are we so stupid that we keep repeating mistakes from our past? Isn't it clear that the path of the Buddha is the way to go. Maybe it is still far ahead of time...people are not willing to accept it....a couple of centuries atleast. By the very nature of the flourishing success of human existence - it is heading towards its own extinction. Driving a 1000 pound car to move your butt from your house to the grocery down the street is not just hurting you but everyone around too. Let us not be limited by our own mortality. Just because our history is only 3000 yrs old, doesn't mean that we can not trust empirical extrapolation. Our forefathers were apes. Not some missionary aliens. If we can trust our collective objective scientific brains to untangle the past then we can trust them to predict the future. They are not only our best bet but the only one we have. No tarot reader or prophet prophesy can predict when a hurricane's going to strike. They can however help to handle grief or bring hope. They can work together, only by developing mutual respect...by knowing what place they occupy in the bigger picture. But does a person's actions in this and his previous lives determine his future.....some call them counter-events.....I call it karma.

Journey of a disenfranchised undecided voter

For all those who like my writing, I apologize for not being much of a blogger with my last 2 (inclding this one) about the oft-repeated and much-ballyhooed elections. I do not enjoy the suffrage enjoyed by my American friends...I only carry the burden of an immigrant's suffering - social security, taxes and fox news. I must also admit for the past few months, I have been playing the part of an "undecided voter". It was a thought experiment at first, rather difficult one in the beginning because I could not get myself to think on McCain's behalf. However, as Obama's campaign became mainstream and his supporters became rabid fanboys, I started getting more neutral. I don't know why - maybe because I unconsciously root for the underdog, maybe because as an immigrant I am ideologically democrat but fiscally republican (I don't want to pay more taxes:)) or maybe because I just got tired of reading all the pro-democratic hype on digg. Suddenly, something in my brain switched on and I could no longer discern any difference between McCain's promises and Obama's rhetoric. They say there's a thin line between love and hate. Suddenly, Katie Couric's attempt to embarrass Palin made my blood boil more than McCain's negative campaigning. Was I beginning to think like Joe Six-Pack? Is this how the Middle Americans think? I don't know but I can tell you one thing for sure - this election is really not about "big things" - taxes, foreign policy, economy...this election is about "faith". McCain is a war veteran, someone who showed courage under fire...someone who has consistently shown fair and balanced judgement...a good human being whose life should not be rewritten because he ran against Obama. However, in this election you are not voting for a good person but for the best one who can change the world. Change for a country which has become morally bankrupt from mismanagement of previous regimes and desperately needs to believe again. I did not think just one person could change the world till I ran into fake Obama at Halloween. Even though this was just a white guy covered in black paint, it made me realize why I embarked on this undecided voter journey in the first place. Hate is addictive but luckily so is love. It was really hard to take that "leap of faith" knowing that the stakes were so high - world peace or new world order. Talking to fake Obama helped me imagine the world ex-post the elections..not necessarily a world with peace, milk n honey but a world where you could look up to the man running the country for honesty and empathy...to remind us that these emotions mean a lot in a world besieged by war and greed. I am planning to go out and cast my disenfranchised vote for Obama...go and exercise your franchise!
