Don&#039;t worry about Wee Davie on a no-fly list. If Ron could head up to the Van Allen belt when he felt like it DM can fly wherever he wants in the world anytime. When JT and TC get fed up with giving him rides he will buy a corporate idealsuperjet with the tax deductible charity dollars Lauri and others drum up for him.  He can then have an elite SkyOrg.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[I received this letter too.

These letters will never stop.  When the buildings are closed (or never opened in the first place)and the utilities turned off, the letters will come with instructions to just send your check to a PO Box.
Then, someone will check the PO Box daily, gather the checks and laugh all the way to the bank.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[In reply to &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.mikerindersblog.org/give-it-a-rest-laurie/#comment-17756&quot;&gt;Chris Mann&lt;/a&gt;.

Chris -- after receiving a few hundred of these, I doubt if anyone feels anything any more.  I mean, the numbers are outrageous enough but look at the names assigned to the statuses. Master Builder of Merit, Legion of OT Meritorious, Master Legion of Honor, Beyond Remembering What I Gave Because I&#039;m Now Broke Meritorious.

The word Numb comes to mind when I read the letter and attachments. I don&#039;t feel anything, and I strongly believe that&#039;s the effect that&#039;s being created. Like in the novel, The Time Machine by H.G. Wells. Towards the end of the story, the Morlocks sound the siren and the Eloi, in a trance move towards their cave -- and dinner, with them being the main course. 

Thought and emotion have long since ceased. They just keep repeating the Command Phrase, and all too many people, start reaching for their checkbooks. Sad really. Wake up!]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[In reply to &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.mikerindersblog.org/give-it-a-rest-laurie/#comment-17722&quot;&gt;Aquamarine&lt;/a&gt;.

Aquamarine -- In 0-8 there&#039;s a Scale of Self-Determinism. At 40.0 it reads: Total self-determinism, Total Lack of Automaticity.  At 0.0 it reads it reads: Total lack of self-determinism. At -8.0 it reads: Total Automaticity.

They do it, because their self-determinism is shot. They have relinquished Cause, in the false belief that they are doing the greatest good. It&#039;s an express elevator to Total Effect. The Catholics (and others) call it Hell. What should we call it?]]></description>
