I'm sorry, but I don't want to be an emperor

“I'm sorry, but I don't want to be an emperor. That's not my business. I don't want to rule or conquer anyone. I should like to help everyone if possible; Jew, Gentile, black man, white. We all want to help one another.

Human beings are like that. We want to live by each other's happiness, not by each other's misery. We don't want to hate and despise one another. In this world there is room for everyone, and the good earth is rich and can provide for everyone. The way of life can be free and beautiful, but we have lost the way.

Greed has poisoned men's souls, has barricaded the world with hate, has goose-stepped us into misery and bloodshed. We have developed speed, but we have shut ourselves in. Machinery that gives abundance has left us in want. Our knowledge has made us cynical; our cleverness, hard and unkind. We think too much and feel too little. More than machinery, we need humanity. More than cleverness, we need kindness and gentleness. Without these qualities, life will be violent and all will be lost.

The Six Thinking Hats

Aussie writer says modern male inadequate

In his new book Manthropology: The Secret Science of Modern Male Inadequacy, Australian writer Peter McAllister shows that modern man is not what we claim him to be in terms of, how we men believe us to have evolved and developed into a more intelligent and better being than we were yesterday.

He utilizes scientific evidence derived from archaeology, anthropology and evolutionary psychology to prove that men from the past were smarter, stronger, faster and did everything better than men from today.

Some of his analyses shows that a Neanderthal woman would have beaten Arnold Schwarzenegger in an arm-wrestle. David Beckham would have come last in a Fulani tribesmen beauty pageant.

What more? He even claims that modern men are lying about their parenting claims. He shows an example of how the men from past carried out the task of parenting as the Congo Pygmy men carrying their babies for 47% of their time awake.

In another of his examples he says that some Pygmy dads developed lactating breasts to nurse their babies. Not a laughing matter!

I wonder what our condition would be after another one or two millennia assuming what this book says is true.

A few quotes on politics

• “In Mexico an air conditioner is called a politician because it makes a lot of noise but doesn't work very well.” - Len Deighton quotes (English writer, b.1929
• "Politicians and diapers have one thing in common. They should both be changed regularly and for the same reason." – Unknown
• "Politics is the art of looking for trouble, finding it whether it exists or not, diagnosing it incorrectly, and applying the wrong remedy." - Earnest Benn quotes
• "When I was a boy I was told that anybody could become President; I'm beginning to believe it." - Clarence Darrow quotes (American lawyer, speaker and writer, 1857-1938)
• "(The Weakest Link) is fascinating program. They ask a bunch of people questions and they keep getting rid of the dumbest person, so just the smartest person is left. It is kind of the opposite way we elect a president." - Jay Leno quotes (American TV host and comedian, b.1950)

How far would you go loving your god?

An Indian man named V. K. Saxena from New Delhi shown in this picture says  “I can't put it into words properly but I feel more holy dressed as a woman” He also says “The Lord told me he wanted me as his bride.”

Don’t be too surprised yet! Saxena is not the only one. In India a new cult for men to act as transvestites for religious fulfillment and imitating the Hindu Goddess Radha [the lover of Hindu God Krishna] is becoming a big thing.

These men are imitating Radha and acting like her to please their God Krishna.

Isn’t this a little too much for these guys? I find it extremely hilarious.
