Teach him to fish..."<br /><br />I heard it this way: "Give a man a fish, and he'll eat for a day. Teach him to fish... and he'll sit in a boat and drink beer the whole darn summer." :)<br /><br />By the way, I'm pretty sure neither of those sayings is in the Bible, except by implication.Gerry Rzeppahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08971183189343454844noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-196554259323465442.post-71389844790767964542013-07-23T07:52:11.962-07:002013-07-23T07:52:11.962-07:00I couldn't have said it better Lime Lite...
I...I couldn't have said it better Lime Lite...<br /><br />I've NEVER known anyone that didn't just take what was being offered and then EXPECT more. I'm not a big Bible thumper, but every time this subject comes up I'm reminded of the passage "Give a man a fish, and he'll eat for a day. Teach him to fish ..."<br /><br />The are mountains of wisdom contained in the Bible, and it's well worth reading regardless of whether you're a person of faith, or a total atheist.

As I tried to tell President-elect Obama by mail, just after his election in 2008, "...the need for change is wider and deeper than anyone realizes. Incompetence is not limited to our recent financial and political institutions; it is a disease spread as well throughout our intellectual institutions. Science in particular is in an unrecognized crisis..."<br /><br />You already know this, from the "global warming" debacle that continues to misdirect all who follow it in the news. Others, who fought a few years ago, for recognition of "Intelligent Design" theory, also know it; and before that, in the past century, have been others who have tried to introduce new knowledge and been thwarted, like Immanuel Velikovsky in ancient history and Dewey B. Larson (few know of him) in fundamental physics theory, and now me and my discoveries in the single objective origin of all of the "ancient mysteries" of mankind (and thus his longest-lasting dogmas, that still haunt, and stalk, every modern nation). The trouble is that the long past is trying to make a comeback in many ways, through dogmas that have never been finally confronted, and eliminated in men, in all the millennia of known history. We are all dancing to another Piper's tune, playing in the minds of every man and woman who has ever been born--and it does not respect modern scholarship and logical understanding of physical reality, and keeps trying to throw anyone, who is at all dissatisfied with their life and ignorant of the great truth of all our existence, back to an imagined, magical world that never was and never will be. In short, the nation cannot be vibrant if the people are not vibrant themselves, but chained to long-disproved superstitions and ancient prejudices against one another, and the ancient curse, ever renewed, of "an eye for an eye" (which Jesus so poignantly disproved).<br /><br />It is going to take a harmonious combination of liberal and conservative thinking to succeed.Harry Dale Huffmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03210275295826050501noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-196554259323465442.post-70283950816730918902013-07-22T19:58:59.094-07:002013-07-22T19:58:59.094-07:00According to Obama, redistribution of wealth is th...According to Obama, redistribution of wealth is the way forward. It will somehow uplift the poor into the middle-class and give them a sense of pride and make them productive citizens. Well Mr Obama, I'm still waiting for this to happen. You've had 4 years now of redistributing and still America's economy is in the bin, there are even more poor people in the country and more people on food stamps than ever before. When will this magical moment occur when the poor will progress and be filled with pride and become productive? How many years of destroying the economy before America becomes a liberal utopia where everyone is equal? And yet the Left still peddle this rubbish and people still vote for it. And the debt goes up and up; and the country becomes more and more like Detroit. And then in comes Hillary to save the day....Lime Litehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15062140213877618320noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-196554259323465442.post-78146754375922451362013-07-22T15:54:24.352-07:002013-07-22T15:54:24.352-07:00“Is not the current crisis actually the opportunit...<br />“Is not the current crisis actually the opportunity to transform the moribund welfare state into a truly vibrant free and good society?” asks Don. My answer is yes.<br /><br />----<br /><br />I agree too!<br /><br />As I see the endgame for what the "Progressive" Obama Regime is doing to the country can only result in a major meltdown of the U.S. economy - kind of like what happened to the old Soviet Union in 1991.<br /><br />This crash and burn will cause an insurrection of some type after the country hits "year zero" but hopefully something short lived like the disorders that resulted when the Soviet Union fell apart and limited to a few cities.<br /><br />Then the default switch will be set back on capitalism, as the U.S. government will bankrupt and the currency worthless - and hopefully a return to sound and proven limited constitutional government.Ronbohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02767498198886077632noreply@blogger.com
