"Upholding the letter of the law"
... is a phrase that probably stopped making sense when it was revealed that the U.S.A. had abandoned the principles of the Geneva Convention, both in Iraq and on it's own shores.
... or maybe when Jeb's Supreme Court handed W his throne?
i dunno but the phrase is antiquated, irrelevant and invalid anymore. Trust me.
"The letter of the law versus the spirit of the law is an idiomatic antithesis. When one obeys the letter of the law but not the spirit, one is obeying the literal interpretation of the words (the "letter") of the law, but not the intent of those who wrote the law. Conversely, when one obeys the spirit of the law but not the letter, one is doing what the authors of the law intended, though not necessarily adhering to the literal wording.
"Law" originally referred to legislative statute, but in the idiom may refer to any kind of rule. Intentionally following the letter of the law but not the spirit may be accomplished through exploiting technicalities, loopholes, and ambiguous language. Following the letter of the law but not the spirit is also a tactic used by oppressive governments". http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Letter_and_spirit_of_the_law

WASHINGTON -- Despite a promise from a top Obama administration official that solar panels and a solar water heater would be installed on the White House before the start of the summer, neither have yet been installed on the White House roof as of Tuesday, the date of the summer solstice.
"The White House will lead by example," United States Secretary of Energy Steven Chu said during remarks at the GreenGov Symposium on Oct. 5, 2010. "I'm pleased to announce that by the end of this spring, there will be solar panels that convert sunlight to energy and a solar hot water heater on the roof of the White House." Arianna On Line (B.B.C. Corporate American Division)
"Ball argued that the nation is now ruled by such procedures, even in such institutions as family court where judges (by policy) pass the buck down the line to mental health case workers.
...Rather, the New Hampshire courthouse cleaned up his charred remains and meticulously scrubbed the floors to eliminate all trace of the event. 24-hour news networks ran a quick blurb in their scrolling tickers amid more important coverage of the Miss USA beauty pageant and President Obama’s Father’s Day plans."

Tenabo,Grand Canyon, Black Mesa, and so many more… our homelands and our culture under assault.

" I seen this myself.
A big horse was pulled in and a tall man swung down from the saddle and 'twas Zexcellency himself.
The boys stopped with their stones in utter awe at witnessing this bold soldier dismount to stand amongst 'em.
Now boys, says he, I will show you how to jerk a stone.
So he did. Took a small flast rock from one and showed 'em as they crowded near at his behest, showed 'em how to curve the finger round the edge.
'Tis best this way, he said. He cast his first stone, and the thing curved in the air immediate before it struck the water and dove deep.
He may have been disgruntled but he made no unhappy face. Zexcellency was like that: always calm. You couldn't see his face change in warfare or out.
He took up another stone and cast it, and it went skate-rise-skate-rise-skate-rise, it seemed a dozen times, and they boys let out their breath together in a yip, admiring.
See how? the tall man told 'em. I found ill-luck on my first venture but this is more to the manner!
Again he cast a stone, and it went skipping upon the very surface like it was a maid lifting up her petticoats and dancing in springtime.
Once more, oh sir, please do one more! the boys were crying as he mounted.
But he said with gravity, Ah no, we have a war to fight, and he went riding off, and so we all took up our grounded arms and marched in his fine track as well."

Encrypting Laughter for a Brighter Day
The people and corporations destroying our lives and planet rely on secrecy to manipulate financial systems and militaries.
Senators are whipping their cocks out and pretending their Drug War is not fueled by untraceable cash. They see open source cash like Bitcoin as a threat because their own money system is so corrupted, bankrupt and compromised it is literally Monopoly money. When Bill Clinton gave corporations total control of our future with N.A.F.T.A., we were distracted by his blowjobs and cigar sex... now we have more of the same. They are scared that their Monopoly money could be compared to and valued against a free, open and fair currency.
Please do not forget that D. Rumsfeld announced that the Pentagon had over one trillion dollars unnaccounted for literally the day before 9/11...

Multiple valid perspectives destroying the legitimacy of G.H.W. Bush and his vast network of spies and assassins
“These latest Wikileaks revelations expose something profoundly concerning. Instead of seeing the melting of the Arctic ice cap as a spur to action on climate change, the leaders of the Arctic nations are instead investing in military hardware to fight for the oil beneath it. They’re preparing to fight to extract the very fossil fuels that caused the melting in the first place. It’s like pouring gasoline on a fire.” http://www.alternet.org/world/151232/5_wikileaks_hits_of_2011_that_are_turning_the_world_on_its_head_--_and_that_the_media_are_ignoring/?page=3

Please petition to protect Original People and Sacred Land
In 2016, both the Four Corners power plant and coal leases on the Navajo Nation’s land will expire and the power plant will be shut down if the leases are not renewed by May 2, 2011. These leases for coal extraction on Navajo and Hopi land’s are unacceptable, as these operations have already contributed to the forced relocation of over 13,000 thousand Indigenous peoples, an enormous, incalculable amount of climate pollution, plus contaminated the local water tables, impacted the health of local communities, and the land itself.
Say no with the Elders and their families of Black Mesa. Do not re-lease this land. Do not extend the Four Corners Power Plant lease. Coal is dirty and will never be clean.
Please take a few seconds to sign our petition & tell others about it too!:

Arbusto Energy makes hostile takeover of more opium fields.
"After the killing, the soldiers involved in Mudin's death were not disciplined or punished in any way. Emboldened, the platoon went on a shooting spree over the next four months that claimed the lives of at least three more innocent civilians. When the killings finally became public last summer, the Army moved aggressively to frame the incidents as the work of a "rogue unit" operating completely on its own, without the knowledge of its superiors." http://www.rollingstone.com/politics/news/the-kill-team-20110327?page=3
..."Most people within the unit disliked the Afghan people, whether it was the Afghan National Police, the Afghan National Army or locals," one soldier explained to investigators. "Everyone would say they're savages."...
..."The incident was staged to look like he may have had a weapon," Stoner told investigators. "Basically, what we did was a desperate search to justify killing this guy. But in reality he was just some old, deaf, retarded guy. We basically executed this man." http://www.rollingstone.com/politics/news/the-kill-team-20110327?page=6

Welcome to this digital chapter of public opinions regarding World War III: Bush Cartel vs. The World
The enemies of paradise believe murderous destruction solves their problems.
Professional soldiers and Corporations are ruled by people whose personal "success" hinges on a lack of Peace.
Mass Media is revealing itself as a manipulator of facts, not a deliverer.
Wing-nuts and crackpots are rising in legitimacy while upstanding citizens are losing their fortunes and homes to financial markets that digitally vaporize trillions of dollars before they are ever printed.
The same Conservatives that are willing to invade Afghanistan, Iraq and Libya look the other way when Presidential elections are stolen.
While the Geneva Convention is destroyed.
While our War on Drugs kills and incarcerates hundreds of thousands from Afghanistan to Zimbabwe.
While President Obama continues to advance the Christian warmonger (a nasty paradox there) agenda of G.H.W. Bush and his cursed seed.
With the verifiable legitimacy of live digital interaction- guns, nuclear bombs, and military campaigns will become antiquated ignorant pursuits.
Someday we will all agree that the rich and powerful maintain their control over us by merely exploiting our primal tendencies towards fear and ignorance.
Then we can absorb and evolve from hurricanes, tsunamis, terrorists, the Bush Cartel and their FOX News.
(Instead of poisoning ourselves with pharmaceuticals and genetically modified processed slop while bathing in a sea of chemicals and electricity.)

Anonymous Anabaptist Jesters visit Westboro Baptist Church Sunday School
The jester sits on a comfortable couch while Bar Karma explores the Western notion of a jihadi's suicidal desires on a flat screen against the far wall.
They were definitely not anti Jesus. They were definitely not evangelical, either.
They picked up a mildly tattered, well-worn and clay colored hardcover book sitting on the small table to their right. Outline Analysis of the Books of the Bible by Prof. Barnard C. Taylor, published 1892. He had signed it on the first page in the upper right corner, in pencil.
They opened to their name~page, which they had dog-eared in the upper right corner the night before. Page 86 read,
"1. Author-Joel. nothing is known of him apart from his prophecy.
2. Date-Probably about 870 B.C. though some place the book later. The prophet himself does not say when he wrote.
3. Historical Occasion- An invasion of locusts, accompanied by a drought, sent as a punishment from God for the sins of the people.
4. Place- Joel belonged to the kingdom of Judah. The prophecy was probably delivered in the temple court.
5. Leading Topic- An invasion of locusts is described as a reason for national repentance before God, in order that a worse calamity might be averted. The prophet then predicts God's blessings upon the righteous and his punishment of the wicked.
6. Chief Purpose- To show the necessity of God's people remaining faithful to him; his readiness to forgive when they repent; and his purpose to defend them from their enemies.
7. General Analysis- Part I. A call to repentance in order to avert a calamity, Ch 1-2:17. Part II. Blessings promised to God's people, including the overthrow of the wicked, Ch. 2:18-3.
8. Points of Especial Interest.- The devastation by locusts; the national fast; the merciful character of God; the gift of the Spirit; the "day of the Lord;" the day of judgement; God to dwell among his people.
9. Special Sins Condemned.- Of Judah: none are mentioned, but a departure from God seems to be implied. Of the Gentiles: the buying and selling of Israelites.
10. National Hopes Presented.- A time of spirituality to be secured; God's people to be restored to a position of pre-eminence over their enemies, to be abundantly blessed, and God to be with them.
11. Messianic Ideas.- The gift of God's spirit, the subjection of the enemies of God's people, the reconciliation of God and man, were to be realized only in connection with the coming of Christ.
12. Relation to Other O.T. Books.-This book belongs to the beginning of the prophetic writings, its theme furnishes the topic for much of the discussion by later prophets; they treat specially what Joel gives in a general way.
13. Topics for Special Study.-Devastation by locusts; the practice of selling captives in early times; the history of Greece at this time."
Amos was next but they put the book down, pulled out their iTouch and searched for a specific song about locusts eating banana flesh. They didn't remember anything except the original band's name, The Ethiopians. This one was the first to catch their eye...
