I am a very Peaceful person...it is the major driving force in my life....and I really hate to start the new year on a rant....but this would qualify real easily....I live in a beautiful spot in the country outside Austin, Texas....it is ever so quiet....all night long the neighbors have been shooting off fireworks...it is not the sleep deprivation that bothers me...it is the fireworks mentality and the robot mentality of humans...it is 6:16 A.M. as I write this and they are going off....you must be a speed freak to be out in the cold shooting off fireworks at this time...I would like to know the number in monetary value of fireworks that are shot up in the air on different occasions yearly...they said several million was spent on the Sydney Harbor display alone...at this same time there are children starving.....and if someone wants to see explosions...just turn on the news...there is no shortage worldwide....Disney World spends millions each night for firework displays....now about the robot mentality....there are days when we eat certain foods...buy certain objects...do exactly like we have been programmed...I do not know how this came to be but Greed has to lie somewhere within the motivation....and I am all about being fair in trade and life but at this time the Chinese have not done anything that makes me think that their actions should be supported...and they are making the money on the fireworks through distribution and import fees....and please do not think I am talking about the people of China..they are like the majority of people worldwide...living in hopes of Peace....I am talking about the government....which seems to care little about human rights....I am sure the Chinese people feel that Americans are in the same boat....I do hope this is a Happy New Year and at this time next year after our cruise ship has traveled 365 million miles through space we may be closer to a Peaceful life...it is starting to look up for me...I believe my neighbors have run out of fireworks....

Thanks to all...Genevieve...I am a strong person and have inner peace...but I sure do function better with sleep...the fireworks and scared dogs I find hard to tune out....but my thoughts are not on how much sleep I lose...they are on the many hungry poor people that walk this Earth...and all the different waste I see....I like to imagine viewing this cruise ship from different points of view and if you just saw the explosions of one night and were planning on visiting and giving much needed knowledge...well...you just might decide to wait.....

Yes Sir,there are countriestrying to outdo each other to stay ahead in the race, spending tons of money to conquer space,to reach another planet,after all the damages they have done to mother earth,why don't we look after the earth instead of finding about other life in other planets?Earth had suffered such a heavy beating and these people are trying to do some damage to another planet.what Albert Einsten said is so true-Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and I'm not sure about the former." --Albert Einstein,Please bear with it and hope these people are not blind for too lone.AMITUOFO.

Sounds as though some inner peace is in order, Johnnie. Wishing you find that...

Namaste
