You know, 'any' can open a can of worms. 16

I recommend "Tragedy and Hope - A History of the World in our Time" by Carroll Quigley, professor of History at Georgetown and intellectual mentor to Bill Clinton, among many. It gives you an insider, unfiltered (in one sense) account of human development for the last 250 years. Researchers reference the book all the time, not because it has a conspiratorial theme, but because it tells it like it is without the usual bias'.

I know what you're feeling. I'm just attempting to comfort myself.

It is a tragedy.

This I Love seems incomplete. Like Estranged if it didn't have the guitar melodies and the 2nd part.

Ironic. A 15 year old tune sounding incomplete. Axl truly can't do anything as it's supposed to. Always out there, challenging the norm.

Well...there are 13 other solos, so what the heck.

Do you ever wonder why your name is written in all capital letters on your drivers license, bank statements and electrical bills? English grammar specifically states that upper and lower case is the proper form, so why is this? Most probably don't even notice, but there is, as always, a reason behind it. We call it the Strawman.

But first some background information. In the business world money, or more specifically, cash is referred to as liquidity. The word, as you probably see, comes from 'to flow', with water as its strongest connotation. This originates from ancient times when commerce was mainly done by sea, and preferably, rivers. A boat can carry an increased load at a reduced cost, and since there were no compasses you would mostly stick to the coasts and rivers to easier navigate and avoid wrecking your ship in a storm.

On both sides of a river are the river banks. They contain and direct the currency. As a consequence there are two laws that rule this earth. "The Law of the land", which governs people, and the "The Law of water, or The Law of God", which governs business.

There are different rules among different people and nations, but in business there is only one. It's the only way it can function. You do business with Joe Smith, you pay up. You do business with Ernst Happel from Switzerland, you pay up. You honor the contract, no matter who or what it is your dealing with. In America it is called UCC, Uniform Commercial Code. In other countries it goes by different names, but they're all based on the same principles.

So what has this to do with your drivers license? Well, being that there are two laws, one cannot do business with the other. They operate in different spheres of reality. Corporations can only do business with other corporations. They are fictions of man, and has no reality in the physical world.

This is where the Strawman comes in. Governments, banks, insurance companies, they are all corporations, and for them to deal with you, the phsyical sovereign being, they need some sort of go-between. That's why, at birth, they create a corporation in your name. That corporations name is simply yours, only written in all capital letters, as all corporations are.

The government can't force this on you, so they get your mother to authorize it when she signs for your Birth Certificate. Your future silence equals consent. This is a certificate of manifest, which otherwise are used by commercial ships to notify the authorities what it is bringing into the economy. The parents can rescind the contract within 3 business day.

A ship is delivered through the water by the dock.

You are delivered through your mothers water, by the doc.

You are a Maritime Admiralty Product, and you have entered the economy of this country, what is your worth? Nobody knows, so your corporations account is credited with an amount of 1.000.000$. You, representing your company, are now, among other things, bound by contract to pay off the debt of your holding company, the government. Along with all your fellow sister companies. As to not discriminate I suppose.

So when you receive mail with your name in all capital letters know that it is not you they are addressing, it is your corporation. You don't have to go to court. Your corporation goes to court. A court is something you play a game on. The judge rules from the bench, which comes from Latin, meaning 'bank', and somebody has to pay. But you don't have any control over your corporation, you don't even know about it, so it's not really fair, is it?

There is remedy though. You file a UCC-1 Financing Statement with a Security Agreement. This will make you the due holder of your corporation, remember the government is just a perpetual administrator authorized to do so by your legal guardian, your mother, and your consequent consent by silence. All they require is your notification. That is the Law.

Now nobody can do business with your corporation unless you consent to it. That means, in theory, you can avoid taxation, fines and jail. But remember, you need 'money' to live. This is only offered by one corporation, the Federal Reserve, and by using their private, copyrighted notes you take on their entire debt. So you don't want to disconnect yourself completely from the system. But you can know that it is only a game of fiction and learn how to play it. The government and corporations sure know how to play it, and luckily for us they are greedy enough to constantly break the rules.

When you loan money from a bank you're not really loaning their money, you're loaning someone elses. That's why only you sign the contract. The bank never has the intention of loaning you anything. They're just making it appear so so they can scam people. What they're directing to you is not even money, it's debt. That means they are in breach of a string of UCC statues. It may be legal under 'the law', but 'The Law' reigns supreme. They said they would loan you money, they never did. They said it was a loan, it wasn't. They gave you the appearance of mutual consent, but they never signed anything.

It's fraud, and you can file a complaint notifying them of that fact. They will be forced to rescind your debt when after 10 days they have silently consented by not responding to your claim. They can't respond. They don't have the proper documents. The process in itself is a bit more complicated, so if you want to know more this http://freedomfighterlaw.com/ is the place to go.

We can 'get off foreign oil' without increasing the size of government.

The liberal utopia is now here. We've just entered the era where a broke government is going to solve all your problems by increasing to the size of the Milky Way.


I don't, however, like how it takes some power & oversight away from the EPA. I think there should be 1 Environmental/Energy group, not multiple with various self interests. Who knows though.

Agree 100%. All this will do besides add to the size of government and increase taxes is dilute the power of the EPA and make all affiliated programs worthless.

And ultimately clogging research and developing of new energy sources even more.

No, you certainly don't need more government to get off foreign oil.

The effective way would be to give tax breaks to companies developing and delievering alternative energy sources. Installing the technology in government operations is also an idea. Simply showing that you're for real and not just another Gore hypocrit.

Most tragic part is that this technology hardly need developing. Today it's fully possible and feasible to have the whole earth run on renewable energy. We just won't do it. The oil industry would kill before letting anything like that happen, and the government is shaking in its pants on the prospect of losing all that tax money.

What we're getting are superflous departments spending tax payer money to talk, debate and analyse the problem, all the while never actually doing anything about it apart from diluting the focus.

#4197 Re: Guns N' Roses » My guitar complaint *spoilers included* » 879 weeks ago

I would say it falls in Electric Tears territory, but I guess you could find similarities to Colma and PO too. If I would name a particular tune I think it would be track 2 off Population Override.

The Scraped solo has a very Elephant Man sound to it. May be my favorite solo among the hard rockers.

Buzz, you will love Bucket's solo on Sorry....very good blues with absolutely perfect tone.

Word. That solo carries meaning on so many levels. Axl has been putting punches to Slash for like 4 verses and then Bucket comes along and simply owns in the Slashest way he can. I couldn't help thinking it as an extension of the lyrics, talking to Slash in his own language "see dude, I really don't need you at all, best regards, Axl". 16

You must have heard a different version of CD than I have.  There is no killer intro (there's a snoozer intro though), no killer riff, and maybe 1 decent solo.  That's the beauty of art though...people can look at (or listen to) the same piece of art and see (hear) completely different things.

Sure, but there can still be some objectivity to it. I don't know about you and your alignment, but the impression I've gotten is that those most disappointed with the album are the 'classic rock group'. Meaning they have more a problem with the type of music being played than the quality of it.

Then again, this is the type of argument where words can mean different things to people, so I guess you have a pretty good point after all. 16

#4200 Re: Guns N' Roses » My guitar complaint *spoilers included* » 879 weeks ago

I don't get the criticism. I used to have a problem with the lack of guitar myself, but that was before I heard what Bucket and Bumble have been contributing.

CD used to be just an average song, now I have no problem comparing it to some of the top tunes on Appetite. Killer intro, killer riffs and killer solos (especially the one at the very end) all around. And most importantly, they enhance the basic melody in a beautiful way. That can be said of almost any song on this album. There is no jerking off or uneccesary parts far as I can see, there just isn't. In fact the only thing I'll agree with is This I Love. It's on to something, but never quit gets there. Considering it's also perhaps Axls strongest vocal and melodic performance on the album that is a bit sad, but I can live with it.

And to those having a problem with Catcher...What!? The new solo rips your fuckin' heart out with those bends, and the fills on the outro compliments Axl perfectly. It's so beautiful now I'm almost in tears just by thinking about it. I had very high hopes for the reworking of this song, and in no way have I been disappointed. Even with the fucking bells and pling version we have currently it far surpasses most of the stuff out there, even old guns. I actually predict it to be the song when looking back in ten years time.
