Living Under The Shadow of Tungurahua

POLARIZATION

The following is from Dr. Bob Horn's web site...Truthpizza. The link is above. I believe that being polarized is one of the major factors of the discontent in the world today. It seems that we are constantly being forced to pick a side even if we don't feel it fits. The only choice that we need to make is between Good and Evil and to make this choice resonsibly, we need to know the truth.

Polarization

An emotional attachment to one side of an issue.

A common, but very serious situation occurs when we become emotionally attached to one side of an issue. Often the problem starts because someone we respect persuades us that a particular "cause" is vitally important but threatened by sinister and corrupt opponents. We start to think of our side as good and the other side as evil. We trust the evidence for our side without questioning whether it might be faulty, and we hastily reject arguments against our position as deception by our evil opponents. It is difficult for us to evaluate new evidence fairly since we are so afraid of siding with the enemy and we hate to disagree with our allies. We might even become so emotionally involved that we feel violence or other unethical practices are justified. Many bitter political, religious, ethnic, and even family conflicts involve
polarization

Let´s see how well we remember history.

The best and the worst in mans courage were recorded on the 18, 19, and 20 of July, 1969. I remember the events of those days well. What were the four events that most of us will never forget?

So We Lost

Wait until next week.

ECUADOR, ECUADOR, ECUADOR

There is only one thing on the minds of the people of Ecuador.... If you don't know what it is then you are in another world.

VIVA ECUADOR

Why not take on the world....Might as well.

Bloggers around the world have made a difference in the way a lot of people think and react to event that effect them and the world. It is still possible fool people with half truths and innuendo, but if you publish something absurd it is likely that you will be jumped on so quick that you wish you could find a deep hole to jump into.

I live in Ecuador and the Blogerlution is just getting started here and when enough people find their power is in education and the Internet you will see some real change. The bloggers in Mexico are being credited with changing the ratings in the polls when a couple of months ago it was thought the Chavez backed Obrador (PRD) would win walking. Today it looks like Calderon (PAN) is leading in the polls.

Castro (Cuba), Morales (Bolivia) and Chavez (Venezuela) are doing everything they can do to discredit the United States and it was encouraging to see Peru stay on the right track,. (no pun intended), even if the choice had to be made between the lesser of two evils. We vote in November, and Venezuela in December, (if there is an election).

Freedom is freedom no mater where in the world you are, Iraq, Iran, Indonesia or South America.

Bloggers do make a difference.

The Pub will re-open for serious, good humored discussion....

Any comments?

Well Excuse Me!

I thought everyone was leaving.
